I still play games in =<60fps, I see it like training in a gravity room ;)

Jokes aside, I'm happy I haven't had the same experience as you for gaming. Because then I would have to buy into high performance gaming. I can now happily play a game on something like Stadia or my old Macbook without having to feeling something is wrong or missing. Kinda like how watching movies on VHS was fine until HD came along. Now every artifact or resolution drop in a video is an annoyance.

Well that mostly depends on the kind of games you play... most Esports titles probably benefit from a higher refresh rate/more fps... While most Singleplayer games, except the occasional shooter, probably don't... With mmo's somewhere in between... It also quickly becomes very technical, as not only the display latency is interesting, but also the input latency.

It depends on the game. I play competitive shooters which I've gotten worse at as I age...

PC upgrades have given me 50ms reaction time advantage. Nearly what I lost since my early 20s. Feels nice to be "good" at games again
