I don't think regular gamers can top magic player rage, especially since most of them are exactly like this IRL.

I keep jumping back-and-forth between different Fallouts, but today I played a long stretch of Fallout 3

when I last played the game, I had just cleared out Springvale School as my first real jaunt since leaving the Vault, and then had discovered Megaton and talked to the people there.

so this time, having just signed up for Moira's quest to help her write a book, I set off for the Super-Duper Mart.

Arriving at the store, I help an Escaped Slave fight off some raiders just outside the building, and then I go inside to scope it out - what follows is a series of gun battles as I clear out the raiders inside the Mart, and make off with a ton of loot: guns, food, and all sorts of drugs. I can't carry all of it, so I start stashing it in the dumpster behind the building.

I report back to Moira, and then start making trips back and forth from Megaton to the Super-Duper Mart, picking up junk and selling it to Moira until I run her out of caps. Then I start making trips from the Mart to the now-empty Springvale School - I spoil myself a bit and validate that I can use the boxes inside the school for long-term storage (at least until a better solution comes along), and so I begin stashing all the extra weapons and junk there.

I'm down to my last load from the dumpster when a kid runs up to me and says his dad is in trouble in Grayditch. It sounds urgent, and I'm flush with ammunition, so I tell him not to worry and I set off to look for whatever lies over yonder...

there was rampant cheating and one older man with a physique I can only describe as "bacchanalian" who I don't think moved for hours off the lawn chair he brought in but was constantly bellowing through the whole store

Love when these guys are in the shop, whole place smells like hamburger and there's not a burger to be seen, still friendlier than mtg players though.

I pretty much only play draft which is a physically and emotionally torturous experience for anyone who takes Magic even slightly too seriously, and I'm glad they made play boosters a thing.

I'm gonna have to say a bad thing about Remnant 2: my campaign of the second DLC is bugged and I got an area where none of the quest items spawned. Gonna have to re-roll that campaign.

If you can't stand the smell, get out of the store. I have won every tournament I've ever participated in. one

I think they meant having a ruler where the inches are like 10% longer.

It's fuckin wild how old this game is now. I remember "live tweeting" the 2016 presidential debate by typing my reactions into the planet, flora, and fauna naming system. Sonewhere out in that big ol galaxy is a dump creature named "WHY IS HE HUMPING THE FLAG?!?"

N'erud rules, gently caress the reddit consensus. Going from poo poo Elf London to an artificial world at the edge of a black hole or w/e that place actually was was fantastic and complementing my composite bow with a handgun that shoots depleted stellar cores at poo poo was great. I didn't really dislike any of Rem2 until the very end, and that was mostly 'cause my gpu was dying and the special effects there interacted badly with it. When I went back to it with a new card it didn't cause quite as many grinding noises inside my case which helped me concentrate on it more

Playing league I only really care about my own performance, but it is also extremely funny when you know someone on the other team is Big Mad just by how they're playing

People getting mad about how other people play has always been fascinating to me, because due to the aforementioned "literally incapable of focusing on multiple things at once" issues I couldn't tell you what my teammates are doing unless I did nothing but follow them around staring at them.

I think the only teammate behavior I'd ever notice is if a game has friendly fire and they kept killing me or something. But something like "noticing a teammate is playing sub-optimally" is genuinely baffling to me. Like I'll see people in MMOs noticing that a party member is using a suboptimal rotation, and how?! Unless you're literally analyzing the combat logs afterwards, how do you manage to pay attention to that in the first place? On one hand I logically know this is some sort of personal limitation, but on the other hand it just feels so completely impossible to me that it's hard to even imagine how other people do it. It's like the "reading two books at the same time" analogy I used before. How can you be pushing your buttons, looking at the boss, looking at your cooldowns, and also keeping track of the abilities your teammates are using?
