Found my old Bop It at my parents' house and gave it a shot

I mean, I used to be a total pro at this thing when I was like 10. Pull it, twist it, bop it. I dug it out of a box last month and tried a round. My hands felt so slow and clumsy, and I messed up after maybe 15 commands. It's still kind of fun in a stressful way, but it definitely hits different when your brain isn't wired for pure reaction time anymore. Has anyone else tried an old skill toy and been shocked at how much harder it feels?

My old Simon game just laughs at my adult brain now.

Oh man, I feel that. I tried one a while back and it felt like my brain was moving in slow motion. Guess we just lose that kid-level focus.

Hold up, you still HAVE your old Simon game? Mine got lost in a move like ten years ago, probably in a box with my Game Boy Color. That thing was a tank. I'm honestly shocked any of those plastic buttons survived past 1998.
