Bonesty is when you are honest about your bones and boners and I don't see how that applies here

one of my lifelong bffs used to cry over games (and occasionally throw controllers and poo poo, but not mine because they knew their would be major consequences for doing that at my house) fairly often when we were kids and it was always awkward as gently caress having to console them over getting beaten in Wrestlemania 2k on N64, otherwise they were fairly normal...in hindsight i think it was due to them having a lot of stress and frustrations due to Jewish parental pressure to excel in school in addition to not ever being allowed to own their own video game console because it was considered mind rotting so they had to come to my place for their fix. flash forward to 2k16 and said friend has an Ivy League Ph.D and prefers to play Settlers and other tabletop games over PC/video games because they are just as burnt out on modern gaming as i am

I don't play video games very often because I'm easily bored, but I definitely get insanely pissed off by the my player mode in nba 2k15. It's the only game that makes me feel emotions and they are almost exclusively the emotion where I scream HORSESHIT because the coach takes me out in the last three minutes of a tied game when I am obviously the only talented player on the goddamn Timberwolves and have had at least a double double in every game of the season. Ugh it's so frustrating. I love it.

I dunno why are sports fans so angry all the time? Seriously my roommates are always watching football and screaming and cursing at the screen and it's like wtf its just a game

Considering the countless number of incidents of violence and riots committed by sports fans over stupid numbers I'm starting to question the toxic influence- hey wait where are you going

idk but in Europe professional sporting leagues originated as a way to divert nationalistic jingoistic crazy people at something relatively harmless. All the British soccer hooligans today were the people in the streets rioting about wanting to go to war with France again 200-300 years ago.

Sometimes if I had a lovely day I'll do this, but with way more swearing. I try to hit on anything that will make someone upset, and then go full throttle, passing my bad day onto them. I usually feel way better after.

Nothing can ever compare to highperching though.

Settlers is a baby board game for losers. real board gamers play competitive Agricola :getin:

If you get salty at your own teammates in a team based game you are going to lose
