Context: I’m 25 so i dont think i should see any noticeable effects of me getting old yet, but when i compare my memory to a friend of mine who is 24 and myself when i was 18 then the difference is quite noticeable.
The easiest way to see it is my ability to remember champions names in a computer game ive been playing since I was 14. when i started the game had about 80 champions. Now it is 168. The problem is that in the past i didnt have any problems memorizing their names, names of the items and names of the two bosses – Herald and Baron – but now whenever i play with my friends i have to describe how every single thing looks because i dont remember. I often even forget names that i used to remember and i confuse champions with similar names. Sometimes i can even eat lunch and 4 hours later I can be sure that i did not eat anything. Remembering what I ate yesterday or a few days back sounds like an unfunny joke to me. Is it normal or should i worry?
