Gamers: Do you use caffeine?

A while back before I dropped out of college, we did this test where at a signal, you press a button as fast you can. Then we went and drank coffee
came back and did the test again. After coffee there was a significant reduction in reaction time so its no wonder you see gamers streaming with a can of Monster in their hand. It really does work but please don't abuse this information (A caffeine OD is very unpleasent).

Knowing this, I drink 1 coffee before I drive.

Wait did you mean there was a reduction in time with caffeine? Or reaction time was slower?

I think I just got the wrong message when I read what you wrote.

But no normally I don't use caffeine on my games, as normally the systems don't react well to being a sticky mess

@sstronaut No I meant the reaction time was faster.

Yeah if you got an expensive rig I can understand that.

@Matt85 no I was just making jokes that pouring caffeinated liquid on the games didn't make the games any better 😋

@sstronaut Oh right, yes definitely do not do that lol. Coffee-overclocking is for humans only.

@SStarfish Oh, mochas are nice. According to Googles little info-bot, both sugar and caffeine consumption, AND withdrawl can cause headaches.😵‍💫

@Matt85 yeah thats why i have to keep drinking too to avoid withdrawl headaches 🙁

@SStarfish You could try tapering off it, thats what docs say when you're trying to come off a prescription drug. Coffee is good fun though, in moderation.
