It was great in one of the FIFA games on 360 where if you had a kinect plugged in it would listen to you and if you started swearing when you got a yellow card the ref would change it to a red for swearing at him (like in real life). that's probably the best and only good use of the kinect ever.

Really? That is one of the funniest things I've read this week.

Yeah at first we thought it was just coincidence, but then we noticed that the commentators in the game would say things like "And we can hear the manager cursing up a blue streak over there!" every time he started swearing. Then one time the card got changed from yellow to red because he yelled "Go gently caress yourself ref that wasn't a loving foul". So we put it to the test and just started randomly swearing to see if it responded or we were just imagining it, and it did every time. Looked it up online and it was confirmed as being a real, undocumented feature.

lol, turns out you can also get sacked from career mode for swearing at the ref too much. Every sports game should have this imo.

I unironically think it is the best thing in video games and if more games punished you for being such a giant pissbitch then maybe fewer gamers would be giant pissbitches

You must take your anger at those who inflicted this pain on you. The game developers ! You can already imagine them sniggering as they design a very frustrating level or area with the full knowledge that the suffering it's about to inflict will somehow lessen the suffering they feel every day for choosing that profession. So you're doing them a kindness really

Gamers devote all their time towards games, so the only thing they think they're good at its playing games. When they lose, especially if they think it's outside their control, they meltdown because it's accepting they're not really skilled at anything in particular.

TF2 had a consistent design theme, they all look like army/mercenary type dudes. In Overwatch they just threw in whatever the designers thought looked cool.

the realization that they have wasted their lives is always just below the surface, waiting. so, whenever things don't go their way they bluster and shout and just generally try to distract themselves from reality.

Sublimation of the personal disappointment and despair at the knowledge that they could have mastered a skill that is profitable and enriching instead of the thousands of hours they spent being entertained by what amounts to a virtual set of colorful, jangling baby keys

and then seeing that their skills can in fact be profitable, but only if you're a (relatively) good looking guy like pewdiepie. the social laws of high school apply even in their sanctuary.

One time I was playing rocket league and one of my teammates sucked worse than I did. I was like "whatever" cause its a video game who cares if I lose.

Our third teammate cared. He cared a lot. He started cutting out the other dude and ranting at him. Eventually he went the "kill yourself" angle.

I didn't think that was chill. So I reported him and started playing for the other team. First goal I scored on us he started cussing and ranting at me. By the second goal he realized I was doing it on purpose and rage quit.

He sent me an angry psn message. I asked him if he's ever contacted a mental health professional about how emotionally invested he gets in video games. He didn't respond back.

I can only assume I opened up his eyes as he's living a better life now.
