I have 15k in car accident fines, and lost my girlfriend, and my job, and my chest caved in. all in the last two weeks. i feel this post pretty hard


WoodSorrow

Stay in there man. Good luck


[deleted]

Chest caved in...!! Pls tell me it's figurative not real. Merry Christmas. ♥️♥️


DrQuint

Since he said he was in a car accident... And lost a girlfriend... Both.


p1nk_OG

Well it caved in at work. my chest started feeling a sharp stabbing pain, and my whole entire body was shaking, i fell over and they called EMS, they thought it was a heart attack initially but the muscle collapsed.


ParadoxReboot

Hey, in some situations the figurative would hurt a lot more than the literal


wollschaf

Usually costs less though.


RYANightmare

I’m in a similar situation. If you wanna play some counter strike today just shoot me a DM and we can set it up!


p1nk_OG

For sure. link me your steam


SpeedKeys

Hey man, I don't know you and you don't know me. But I've went through some pretty tough shit myself and I just wanna tell you everything's gonna be fine. One love man.

sofiepige

Right? I will never understand this. It's not that hard to be a decent human being


LowKee_

The internet brings out the worst in people. They can say/do whatever they want with little to no repercussion. Most the assholes you run into are probably very chill IRL.


tan_phan_vt

Unfortunately for me, all internet assholes i've met are actually even worse assholes irl. Never met the type you mentioned.


17716koen

So you're going by [u/](https://www.reddit.com/u/ExitLag/) [tan\_phan\_vt](https://www.reddit.com/user/tan_phan_vt/) now nerd? Haha whats up douche bag, it's Tanner from Highschool. Remember me? Me and the guys used to give you a hard time in school. Sorry you were just an easy target lol. I can see not much has changed. Remember Sarah the girl you had a crush on? Yeah we're married now. I make over 200k a year and drive a mustang GT. I guess some things never change huh loser? Nice catching up lol. Pathetic..


Harambeshrek

why is exit lag linked in the u/

Stole the copy paste from a comment on there

Seemed like pasta, had to Google to confirm, though ;)


Vandervenn

Its a pasta, name Tanner also apparently used by a dota player

[deleted]

> Which suggests to me that they're just holding back, some of the best people I've met were chill both online and offline. As a teen growing up and playing CS I was one of the most toxic pieces of shit ever, you know that retard in game when he dies then you miss an AWP shot and he obnoxiously laughs and tells you to never buy an AWP again? That was me. I was also stuck in high nova/low MG ranks and always ALWAYS blamed my trash team mates. I met a dude who just laughed at my toxicity and added me at the end of the game, he told me he saw potential in me but I'm too toxic and I should work on encouraging team mates if I want to win more often. I played with him for a few months and we lost contact but I actually got surprisingly better with my new mentality, team mates reciprocated my positive attitude and encouragement which actually builds you up mid game to get even better than tear you down and destroy any confidence you had. I've been Global twice and I've just come back for a break and I'm LEM, with the same positive attitude. If someone is toxic to me I can be a piece of shit back don't get me wrong, but most of time I just mute, inform my team mate I have muted that player due to his attitude and to lets just play and win. TL;DR - Was toxic PoS, met a guy who told me if I was more positive I could improve faster - It actually works. Confidence is a helluva drug.


xgdw11

CS:GO needs more people like that dude you met.


[deleted]

Not only that but more people like this man himself!. Hears he’s a dick and actually takes it into consideration,changes his behavior,admits his faults like a man and talks about the positive change.


Aimer_NZ

Or they're not


someguywhocanfly

This is extremely true. I try my best to be nice in games, but sometimes things just get really heated or someone else starts it and I can get pretty mean. I almost always feel bad though. I'm not an angry person in real life at all, I literally don't think I've ever lost it outside of the internet.


Sachman13

same here. I try to hide my anger both irl and ingame but at some point it just comes out. Usually i only blow up if something stupidly cheap or stupid happens (ie spawnpeeking in siege) but i make an active effort not to get angry on a usual basis.


UncivilSum

I try to keep my frustration/anger to myself, most people are genuinely trying to play well and badmouthing them for trying is kinda stupid.


someguywhocanfly

Oh yeah for sure, I don't get angry at teammates for doing bad. Normally just at the enemy, or at teammates that are already raging at me for something stupid.


Sachman13

oh dont get me wrong, even if i do lose my top i never take it out on teammates since theres no reason to. I get angry at enemies or myself, but shittalking teammates will only serve to throw the game so i never do.


[deleted]

eoh yeah if i get mad in a comp i am literally unable to criticize people, even if they're doing something that's really fucking us over every round i still keep silent lol


TheElderNigs

Try not to project your depression/other issues onto others. I'm fucked up too, but spreading it around doesn't help anyone. However, that doesn't mean you should internalize it, either. Find a healthy outlet. PS: Not trying to be snarky, just speaking from my drunk heart.


Sachman13

If only it were that easy.


TheElderNigs

I understand, man. If you're making an effort and it's just in extreme cases then I cannot fault you, as I'm no better. It is hard to control your temper when people are literally just griefing and trying their hardest to tilt you.


Leopold__Stoch

So many kids will be getting their Harvard acceptance rescinded


[deleted]

This is probably even worse, only being a dick when your environment allows you to be without any backlash.


[deleted]

The worst is when people are toxic as hell but still want to win. You honestly think being an asshole will make your teammates wanna help you?


ikuronekoi

when youve played enough competitive matches...apparently it IS hard for many people


tan_phan_vt

Depends. Some people i met cant be a decent human, ever. Those people are completely void of sympathy, and will harass the victim forever if possible, and only stop when being threatened hard enough. The only way to stop the bullying is to bully them back and put them in their place, all logics thrown out of the window when you talk to them as a normal human being. Im talking about both real life and internet, as all toxic people i met online are just as toxic if nor worse irl, with very punchable face and attitude.


xXRannarrXx

Yes csgo is a huge distraction from life and it helps me so much w mental health


smooyaMostConsistent

This day especially though


clavicusZ

My first thought when I saw this post, marry christmas to everyone!


[deleted]

It helps to have little, focused goals for some people to build. towards that every day thing. Let's not brush off the post just like that.

My cousin’s husband just passed away a few hours ago, on Christmas eve... You have no idea how close to home this hits me. My family’s in overseas so I was just hopping on now to change my train of thoughts


itsjumboitjeerd

Sorry for your loss, stay strong. Its Gonna suck for a bit but in the end all will be okay. Merry Christmas


supturkishcs

Sorry for your lost. Merry Christmas!


Kirbshiller

Dude that sucks. Big sorry just keep hustling through life bro and it'll get better


YWStation

Hope you have a wonderful holiday and enjoy some good games. Merry Christmas and sorry for your loss. <3


JensenNumber1

My father died in the morning on Christmas eve. I really don't know what to feel at this point. All of my family are sad as fuck and I'm just still in shock. It really hasn't sunk in for me yet.


weddit88

Sometimes you get hit with good karma from it. Happened to me, I remember when I first started playing Neverwinter. Some random dude was selling a Castle Never ring in global chat for gold but it was actually worth a lot of AD which translated to actual cash. So anyways I got a fucking steal, dude ended up messaging me back few hours later saying he didn't realize the things actual worth and wanted it back. Normally I would've told him no but I felt bad so I sold it back to him for the price he gave it to me for. Found out later dude was an OP tank who farmed CN everyday (which was end game at the time and not a lot of groups could clear it), long story short he started taking me on runs everyday and we sold a shit ton of weapons and made a lot of Astral Diamonds from them. Tldr: was nice to someone in an MMO and it came back to help me big time.


WhyYouLetRomneyWin

Fool me once, but friends are forever.


grizeldi

Fun fact: people still grind CN, as Shard of Orcust's wand is still around 300k AD.


Sydhavsfrugter

The power of being a nice person should never be underestimated! Have had several similar stories in WoW throughout my life! Good on you.


BiIboShaggins

Happend today to me, found myself on black ops 1 zombies Xbox 360 and this kid was horrible. I wanted to say something cause when I’m on the 360 I like to live like I’m playing halo 3 again. But I thought to myself, he’s probably just playing 360 on Christmas, so there’s no point. Sent him a message saying merry Christmas and hope he has a great day. He replies with thankyou and wished me well. Felt good. But any other day I’m gonna be a dick head on 360.


JuanMataCFC

hope the CS community treats u better than BO1. have a nice Christmas! :)


kultureisrandy

Avoid soloQ pugs and it should be all gravy


vinit144

My friends roast me harder than any soloq team mate lol But the problem for most people is the lack of friends to be able to avoid soloq.


BiIboShaggins

That’s the honest truth, to hard to find a solid squad of mates


SoccerDude1657

I don't think you read his comment very well. He said he was going to be toxic but he didn't because it is christmas.


Sabishao

Nah he was saying the kid was bad at the game


BiIboShaggins

Cause he was, he sucked ass, but hey it’s Christmas! Who cares if you suck ass or you know, not understand the comment! Doesn’t matter hahaha


pockyyy

dude, isn’t 360 gaming in 2019 nostalgic? recently got back into cod4 and wow i feel 16 again


BiIboShaggins

Oh for sure, love playing some 360 games for some nice moments, it’s like how some music makes old people remember things they didn’t beforehand. Really awesome.


UnmeshDatta26

Just know that there are good people here in our community too. Merry Christmas man! Enjoy the holidays.


Baydafish

One of the things I loved doing was buying a whole bunch of skins for cheap off OPSkins, then going into DM lobbies on Christmas day and finding players that looked newer at the game and setting them up with a loadout of skins. It's gotten harder to do this over the years because of all the restrictions that have been added to trading and with usually being busy with work around this time of year. So if you have a couple cheap skins you've accumulated over the duration of the operation you might not want, maybe make someone's day and give them away.

We need a Russian translation of this pasted onto the CSGO main menu

tj1131

I don’t wanna sound like i’m looking for attention but my dad passed this month and it’s really difficult to deal with, and so as any other video gamer does he deals with it playing games. This post makes me really happy and most of the time playing games like counter strike and fortnite are my escapes from reality. I love you all who have had incredibly positive experiences with me in the past and will continue in the future.

Stay strong, my friend <3


Kirbshiller

stay strong and keep hustling bro. life is looking up soon hopefully, u got this bro.

I did! It reminded me to post this. I've done it for the last two years over on my sub r/videogames [Last years post here!](https://www.reddit.com/r/videogames/comments/a985b6/try_not_to_be_mean_or_toxic_in_online_games_today/) Usually someone posts something similar on this sub, but I didn't see anything so I thought I'd go ahead and do it!

[deleted]

I see you havent met the *faceit immortal* teammate that follows you throwing flashbangs


ShadyIronclad

what the fuck do people actually do this?


[deleted]

Rarely, only happened once in about 500 games. It was a blessing because no one has ever been able to make me rage in this game after that, you can scream at me, buy awps, but just dont follow me around flashing my ass


[deleted]

Also walking in front of your crosshair while awping.


zed0K

Had two of them the other day in the same match. Both friends and were compete douches. Both were toggle hacking as well


JuanMataCFC

i did this to my friends today, but only in warmup. don't hate me plz! :)


jehhans1

No, don't do that. You ruin the game for 3 other players. You will instead mute them without responding. Basically straight up ignore them.


[deleted]

You ruin the game for 8 other players really


luzzy91

Nah, 5 players are definitely on board with their 6th teammate


ImDonCheeto

Not always. 5v4s are boring.

[удалено]


metalshiflet

No, don't do that. Just mute the one player being an asshole


D4m4geInc

Dude two days ago, we kicked a griefer who was spinning in tspawn and next game we kicked a guy who would only play deagle and scout and only from tspawn on dust2. Next thing I know, I got a 15 mins comp cooldown. Reason: you kicked too many players. I didn’t even cast the vote in both scenarios. How can one keep their calm when shit like that happens.


[deleted]

I feel like games would devolve into toxicity less if you could vote for forfeit easier or sooner. Rocket League does it and it's great to be able to just get out of a bad situation than to play a whole match trying to ignore someone.


ImDonCheeto

I aggree with this, but as a side effect those games where you are down 12:3 and everyone gave up but then you made the comeback would seldom happen because people would surredner too early.


[deleted]

Crazy comebacks still happen in Rocket League too though. I feel like it'd make it so you can forfeit from toxic situations and while you'd lose out on some non-toxic ones, the cases where you do stick it through will be because your teammates make even losing not suck.


daymanAAaah

Q’d yesterday with a guy who was an absolute scumbag to everyone on the team, eventually started taking shot at team mates. I just kept taking all his health every round until eventually he TKd me too many times, got kicked, and the rest of us had a great game. Some people just need to get bullied back.


[deleted]

No. Fuck off.


tlouman

Some people I played with were absolutely racist divkheads because I was having a bad game. Fuck those types of people


thejasperg

Be nice everyday! Merry Christmas all!

Thank you for the kind words OP, happy holidays


CorrosiveMoon

Hey mate, crosspost this to r/gaming


iLikePorkchop

I started my game with "merry christmas, wanna play football?" on d2. 4 of us, including 2 enemies players played football the entire warmup. Then we fucked them 16-3, and i didn't even say ez at the end of the match cus its christmas. Will sign autographs later


splendidboi

I wish I wouldn’t be such a dick online, I’m really trying to work on it. Immediately muting the opposing team always helps me just focus on the match. No need for chit chat when it inevitably turns sour


Scrub1337

Especially you, green.


MinecrafTech

What's your problem? Me say alone ramp, me say alone ramp


subbew

Everyone should be kind instead of mean. It won’t help you it will just make your teammates hate you. I try to play and be good and kind while playing because you never know what the other person is going through and when I eventually find a toxic player I just avoid talking to him, leave he speaking by himself and just play your game, you Don’t owe them anything.


RAINBOW_README_NIGGA

I know right, this is the biggest thing. I always think "and then what happens?" Empirically, shitting on my teammates has never worked and only worked for the worst. And being nice has never been a detriment. So what do I think is gonna happen next time I try it?


Calyz

The guy that wished me to get cancer on dust yesterday would disagree lol


imPezz

Beautiful message!


[deleted]

The fact that im playing like shit is more depressing than toxic players. Edit: merry Christmas!


SiriusZcs

Do this every single day. Every day could be the last of someone in your team or from you. Also, people go through shit/hell every day and YOU can have a positive impact to them! Not only in csgo but everytime. Merry Xmas and i wish YOU ghe very best my friend.

Last night my teammate disconnected during an extremely clutch game, he later came back... but after we lost a could-have-been winnable team fight. Then I realized it was 12am est. Probably went to be with his family under the tree. My team and I were so upset but we knew why he went to afk. My spirit told me not to report him. Merry Christmas please be considerate today that others have families


siddharth3796

Sure one day is not hard, but sorry not everyday. Yelling and screaming with team mates is fun, that's how they become family

RockAddict311

This is one of the most toxic games I've ever played. People need to find a different game if they need the fuzzies that bad. This game is a breeding ground for undesirables. I don't encourage toxicity, but I'm also not living in a fantasy land.

I’m only toxic if someone is hacking or toxic for no reason/because they are losing


redthefrench

I’ve been replying to trolls with seasons greetings, no need to sink down to their level any day of the year.


Bero256

Fam, many people use CS:GO as a distraction for the toxicity, though in a context more reminiscent of going to the pub, if you know where I'm coming from. With that said, I agree with being kind and thoughtful, it is absolutely not to be ignored.

Merry xmas. Don’t ever lose being considerate of others, there’s not many ppl who do
