idk wtf I did but I woke up 2 days ago with this pain in my shoulder right inside where the shoulder itself meets my chest and man it hurts. It's so bad in the morning I can't lift my arm over my head. But as the day goes on (and taking some nsaids) it lessens a bit.

What did I do to myself?

I'm so much better at a lot of things than I was when I was younger, like learning new skills or playing video games, because I'm way more patient and willing to trial and error than I was when I was like, under 25. There isn't a single game I was better at when I was a kid that I'm not WAY better at now.

Damn straight. I stopped gaming because I have issues and can't ever just relax and enjoy things lately (for the last few years) but I was clutching 1v5s in CS:GO in my mid 30s against scrub ass nolife teenagers, after an 8+ hour work day. Like you said, we're better at learning to learn.
I suspect in my case at the time I also had a more complex life that meant I would session and then rest, sleep, process and learn subconsciously before coming back to the game. Where as when I was a kid I would just do nothing else and make no progress, because I left no room to develop.

Skating too, before I stopped doing that again. Couldn't ollie for shit as a kid, then when I was "too old" for it I was able to analytically solve the problem, digest the advice, watch myself failing to do the thing and correct the mistakes. Wish I'd stuck with it but eh, if I really wanted to I would have.
