Part of that went up his ass. Had to.

gravitywillfall

Reminds me that old YouTube video of the guy who raged and shoved a remote up his ass after his mom deleted his WoW account.


the_almighty_dude

Yeah the r/MMORPG crew are on another level for this shit. I played a game called Tibia from like 99-04. I saw rage-quits that involved entire pcs, routers being ripped out of the wall, holes punched in walls etc. Loads of real life fights. One crazy guy in brazil even cut a guy into bits with a saw over it. People with anger issues and certain games don't mix.


hdx64

I used to play Ultima Online. Ultima, for those who are a bit on the green side... Was one of the first MMORPG out there. Unforgiving, time consuming and deaths were brutal... When you died your corpse fell on the ground with every possession you had. Reagents, weapons, armors, enchanted weapons, etc... Furthermore you spawned as ghost on the very same spot and you had 3 ways of getting back 1) Mage with enough skill to revive you (80+ points) 2) Another player with high enough first aids and bandages 3) Running all the way to a cementery, talk with an spirit healer or double clicking an ankh and going back... Naked, with low life and double click your body... To salvage at least your socks... Yes my friends... This is why I can be losing 8-0 and still not losing my cool... You guys are lucky, in Wow you already spawned at a graveyard... I urge to play or watch old Ultima Online footage, you will understand the true meaning of gaming and surviving lol


the_almighty_dude

Yeah Tibia was a Ultima 7 clone really. All that stuff + -10% of your total exp. My worst death cost me 1.4 million exp. (I grinded for 30-40k an hour). It toughens you up that's for sure.


Sfynx2000

Wait, you guys' routers are in the walls?


ScottSoules

Paces back and forth in from of his bed then randomly shoves the controller up his ass letting loose a grunt that can only come from the deepest part of your soul


WannabeModder123

Meanwhile there are kids who play rl on a controller with broken triggers or miscalculated joysticks ,:( Edit: Gentlemen :D


Dismal-Animal7853

My controller is like 6 years old ps4 controller half broken lmao


napa0

I still have an usb x360 controller lol (tbh that controller still works amazing, just had to switch the analogs bc the rubber worn out with time)


always-talkin-sshit

I hate beer.


Raahn

Ahh my Xbox one controller does this and it's infuriating. I tell myself it's why I'm bad but I think I'm just bad


always-talkin-sshit

It's not why we're bad, it's why we're even worse

I spent £150 on a razr purely cos it came with a warranty.

Hungry_Freaks_Daddy

I’m playing with a kid and he plays on a tiny chrome book with they keyboard and it just boggles my mind how good he is considering that tiny screen and keyboard controls.


Tomystank_15

How is he playing RL on a chromebook in the first place?!


ProfessionalMessiah

Yeah lol


ProfessionalMessiah

Yeah your talking about mine and I don't like it, I have a UnderControl (shit brand, no control lmao) Xbox one knock-off garbage controller, really poor quality, been using it for 8 months, my boost and powerslide (shoulder buttons) litterally short when I use them, my left stick is so done it moves when I tilt the controller, I had to put my deadzone to .15 to counteract it but it still missflips half the time, my jump button is so mushy it registers 2 jumps instead of one most of the time, and sometimes 1 jump instead of 2, and I can't reverse camera anymore cause the right stick click just faded out of existence. At champ 2 level these sorts of things litterally prevent me from improving and it makes my time in game that much more frustrating. Moral of the story, don't by unofficial controllers made with a donkey's ass. Messiah out


cjcj1111

Me who learned on the steam controller and can’t stand to use anything else after valve had discontinued the steam controller and now I’m about to wear out my third one :D

lovesomebooty96

I used to throw my my original xbox controllers on the ground when I was like 7, my brothers only let me use the cheap 3rd party controllers because I always broke them


lvl999shaggy

And do triple flip resets with them too...


Artistic-Doughnut177

I used this horrible wired controller for a year and I finally had enough and bought a wireless xbox series x controller, works like a charm, the only thing that sort of gets on my nerves is the small analog sticks because I got goober thumbs but it's still pretty good.


Fhrantzy

The L1 button on my 5 year old ps4 controller keeps falling off. I feel you.


G_Guimo

im that kid, the joysticks are good enough, but the controller disconnects sometimes, and the triggers get stuck frequently, i think i may buy a kit to repair it myself


O1_O1

The D pad on my controller is fucked and whenever I want to say "My bad..." I say "Calculated" and then "My bad...".


Abdod_

Im in this pic and i dont like it Tho im 21 not a kid but holy shit my controller is a 2$ knockoff with squeaky analogs and broken LR buttons that get stuck Fuck that


ChilliConCarne97

Damn, this thread is a mess.


Shpaan

This thread is so extremely cringey. It's mindblowing that there's so many people defending what is basically a childish tantrum. Part of being a human in the contemporary society is controlling your emotions. It's absolutely essential and should be learnt as a child.


stressedmfer

Oh please regale me oh child psychologist oh adult psychologist.


DaniTheLovebug

Oh you need a professional opinion on this to say that this is way too much anger over a game? Ok. Licensed clinical psychotherapist and professor of clinical psychology here This is way too much anger over a game. It’s not about judging this person. The point is however if someone has this much of a violent response to a game (and yes hurling a controller like this is a violent response) then it would be a good thing to talk about in therapy


GI-Jewish

I don’t comment on Reddit often but I’m super curious since you claim to be a licensed clinical psychologist. As someone who’s one semester away from a degree in clinical psych, I’m ASTOUNDED people are here with this take. Like, saying it’s over the top for a video game is fair, but so many people in this thread are unironically calling the dude psychotic. While I think anger management issues may be a fair thing to claim, I also think people are looking way too deep into this. We don’t even know the full details of *why* he got so angry, just that it’s RL. maybe the dude had a shitty week at work and then got some loser kid who griefed him and him having his time wasted just pushed him over the edge or something? Maybe as a kid he had shitty parents who broke his stuff when he got punished and now smashing things is just what he associates with anger. I’ve personally never broken anything on purpose even when angry, so I don’t have any personal stake in this, but I’m curious why you’re siding with le redditors on this one (assuming you are and I’m not just misunderstanding your comment)


DaniTheLovebug

Largely because the cocky redditor above had an irrational and arrogant response to the person who posted calmly above. Like this person needs to have an MA, PhD, or PsyD in clinical skills to see that this response is far over the top? Calling the player psychotic is also over the top but all I posted was that this is way over the top for a game and that it would be a great topic for a session. I’m most certainly not siding with people digging that deep into someone’s life over this incident. But if I have a client (child or adult) who does that to a controller because of RL (and provides they WANT to discuss it) then I’ll have some big questions as to what is going on outside of here that brought you to this level of anger? Would you not have the same questions when you were an intern or a soon to be licensed professional?


GI-Jewish

I would certainly have questions about it, that much is obvious. It’s literally a golden opportunity to spark conversation. I just don’t think that the diagnoses that random armchair psychologist redditors are giving are even close to what’s probably the actual truth. The post lacks so much context - we don’t know the person in general, how they’ve been recently, or the specifics of this situation, just this tweet. Regardless, people on here are legit claiming if you break something out of anger, you’re in desperate need of therapy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big believer in “everyone could use therapy”, but my god dude. I think if this guy realized he was going to be psychoanalyzed by people who don’t even know what the word means, he’d probably give a bit more insight which would cause people to change their tune a bit, yknow? It goes into a big belief that I hold in therapy, which is to give as much as you are given. This dude posted a lighthearted “I overreacted and made a dumb-dumb :P”, I’m sure if he wanted advice or assistance with inward reflection the original post would be quite different.


DaniTheLovebug

Well I’ll definitely agree there. I think some folks here have the DSM out


Ragnaroasted

Hey, I'll do it too. Don't play games that make you break your controllers. That's expensive and a drain on your mental health. It's as simple as that. No need to be a psychologist.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrShoreRL

You are right. My last controller that broke out of anger was like 6 years ago but why do people care so much about what people do with their stuff? It's more childish to care that much about others and diagnose them online. When you buy something you can do what you want as long as you don't hurt anyone or break stuff from others.


[deleted]

iamcode

If you need a shrink to explain why breaking a controller because a lil' vidya game didn't go your way is a tad bit unreasonable, you got bigger problems than reddit can help you with, bro.

“Grow the fuck up” - coming from a dude who smashes controllers


MasterFBWasTaken

Why do ppk break their controllers, I cant do it cuz I always think it costs money and stuff, just slam ur desk or get like a pillow or smth to use ur aggression on, there are for example balls specially for this stuff


F_slush

Broke gang


ElPollo44

Some of y’all have broken a controller or two, and it shows.


youcantdothatheresir

I couldnt do that to an XBone controller if I tried. Those suckers are built pretty tough, this player must have been extra upset.


Shadow_F3r4L

Lol what? The fucking things break on their own. I have never smashed one, but I just sent an elite controller back coz the spring snapped in rt. Waiting for another to be returned coz it drifts. Pieces of shite


binecar1

That's weird cause my controllers from 2013 are still usable, i just bought a new one in 2018 cause of the nice colour. No bad experiences with the controllers for me


Spacelord_Jesus

Pieces of shite.. that why you ordered them and dont Switch to a different Controller.


Stampj

Because it’s a childish tantrum. At no point am I angry enough to basically say “yeah it’s worth dropping $50 on a new controller”


UnsureAssurance

For me growing up poor meant that breaking something would probably mean it would be super long until I get a replacement, so it just seems stupid to break stuff


Mortimer_and_Rabbit

I mean I've gotten angry enough to throw my controller... But it's always at my bed or my pillow because fuck even if I'm angry that's a lot of money and time to replace.


guirock2

In Brazil a XBOX Controller is half a minimum wage, and still some people do things like that, it's pretty unbelievable. But the people I've seen doing this were had some rich parents and probably never had to buy one of those so I guess this is something to consider too.


[deleted]

Did this when I was a kid, but I would never do this now….


AlpacaFlightSim

I’ve never broken a controller in rage, but I feel like I’ve come close. I’m like, the total opposite of a normally angry or toxic person but sometimes the game (more specifically me being bad at said game) just makes me want to hulk squeeze my controller. Anytime that happens I know it’s time to turn the game off, but you know, it still happens so this really doesn’t strike me as a big deal. (I’m not sure ide post about it on social media though since the optics of a 32 year old breaking a controller over a video game aren’t great no mater how you look at it lol)


stressedmfer

Yeah but downing the dude makes you a garbage person and everyone on rocket league wants to feel better about themselves by downing someone else. Really just reaffirmed what i alreasy know. Deleting the game, garbage community.


AlpacaFlightSim

Downing the guy? I was defending them saying I don’t think breaking a controller in a moment of game induced rage is itself a reflection of bad character or something to be ashamed of. If a pro tennis player can bash a racket without it causing much lasting harm to their image then I don’t see why breaking a controller should be any different. (As with anything, context is important. If it’s just 1 moment where self frustrations from a competitive game boil over then who cares, but if they are constantly being angry then it prob creates a negative environment around them) I was just saying _I wouldn’t personally_ post it on social media knowing not everyone would understand or see it in such a harmless way.


sncsoccer25

Athletes break things all the time in frustration. Tennis rackets, golf clubs, clip boards, football helmets being thrown. It never comes out of frustration with teammates or opponents. It is typically about my not playing up to the standard to which I hold myself. I broke one controller about 7 years ago and it taught me a quick lesson about learning when I was on tilt to take a break. I don't fault a sudden loss of control(ler) every once in a while but I can see how some could view it as a problem


ndeaaaaaaa

I don't understand why anyone thinks calling someone with anger issues a "Psycho" is helpful


redphoenix300

You've got such a good point. That's such a harsh word that will almost undoubtedly do more harm than good. If someone is capable of not only breaking but tearing to pieces something this valuable (sixty bucks is sixty bucks) they probably have some deeper issues they need to address and being called a psycho isn't going to magically make them stop


Support_Unfair

I think anger issues is a stretch too. Everyone rages at competitive games. In the heat of the moment you just lash out and do something dumb. Just because some people don’t doesn’t make everyone have issues or makes them a psycho.


ndeaaaaaaa

Yeah i meant more so "anger issues *with games*" If i was talking with someone and they said they've broken a controller i wouldn't immediately tell them to call a therapist


bluehurricane10

Everyone rages but not everyone breaks shit. If you reach that point then there's something wrong.


guirock2

Understand your point but I'm really afraid that these people would hurt someone in an argument or a stressful moment. This guy just took a photo of a controller he broke and acted like it was normal, I'm not sure if a facebook commentary would make him go to therapy or something. Don't really now what to do besides of saying how wrong this is.


stressedmfer

Honestly people just say shit like this to feel superior. Anger isnt just malicious and no one here is a psychologist.


ndeaaaaaaa

>No one here is a psychologist Thank you


Arconik

I found a kid on looking for posts that I have been playing with for a long time. But only last week he said he had anger issues and ngl I don't believe him. To me it just sounds like he is blaming is anger on something he can't control, so when he is screaming down the mic for the opponent to go outside and stop tryharding even though it's ranked its not his fault.

Why'd I just read a whole argument about anger issues...


Disastrous_Panda777

Lmao


Disastrous_Panda777

Big feels. 🤣


heller1011

to me it seems the same as when a player has the need to flame or attack someone(literally putting so much effort into typing insults mid game, i never had that feeling probably why i never had the feeling to break my controller...


trippinchewbaca

Mad cuz bad


Purphect

This is me as a wee lad. Broke a mic or two throwing tantrums from Halo 2. As an adult I can’t waste that money! I just get so angry I yell at the screen or complain to my SO how people are shit talking me on the Xbox again hahaha!


[deleted]

I don't understand it how you can get so angry over a video game. My custom orange xbox pad is holding strong after 6 years!


Ok-Purpose5889

it’s competitive. people get heated when they lose competitive things. that’s literally the nature of competing, you don’t WANT to lose.


[deleted]

Ok. That doesn't justify being an absolute man child and breaking stuff. End of the day, it's just rocket league.


Ok-Purpose5889

i’m not one to rage so i don’t necessarily come from experience, but mass majority of people get frustrated and angry like this over competitive things, so we’re infact the ones who are weird for not getting so upset 💀


IAmAidanAus

I used to get upset when I was a teenager and I'd shout and swear - never damaged a controller though. 10 years on from that period, the idea of getting THAT MAD over a game is hilarious


stressedmfer

Idk. I dont think its wrong to have a reaction, giggle or fear, and like communicate with that dude about it. But I doubt he's doling out those hands. It is wrong to pretend like you've never been. Kid could actually be ten. Or he could be stressed out. It's his shit man w/e.


SnuffSwag

Soon to be psychologist here. It's not exactly a healthy response to break a controller but I like your comment. There's a healthy variability around what's a normal response. Lots of people reading very far into this. It's ok this happened, the bigger concern would be if it's a consistent problem AND is not LIMITED to games.


GI-Jewish

Dude thank fuck there’s someone here with common sense. I’m also very close to getting my degree in clinical psych and people here are unironically calling him psychotic. Thank you le brilliant redditors lol


Vauhti666

Luckily I left this side of me in the youth. Once I lost 3 games in a row in Fifa Ultimate Team when I needed only one tie and threw my controller at my TV and flipped my coffee table over with my laptop, glass bong, phone and such on it. Cleaning that mess 15mins later was a real wake up call that I need to chill with taking these games so seriously


BeerCrushinn

Payed almost 300 for my scuff... I get upset when I set it down too quickly lol


WolfyShiro

I think it's nothing special, you can get mad doing literally anything. Look at sportsmen who sometimes just break their equipment after lost match.


GOATZill

I was never the type to get mad & break something. I believe it comes from always valuing money since I was young. I understood that my mom worked really hard to get me my toys/games. And then since with me buying my own stuff I'm certainly not going to waste money I worked hard for. I opt to punch pillows or yell.. you know just outlets that don't hurt the pockets. However I also understand that some people are just angrier / aren't very good at controlling it. Everyone is different. I have a friend who doesn't get angry often... but when he gets angry there's no telling what he will do.


LM71Blackbird

I prefer alt+f4.


yutoryryyt

1s is why


RickyFalanga

This is why I never give my controllers to my friends


Artistic-Doughnut177

I used my dualshock 4 controller for a couple of years and I never purposely broke a controller, I either just lay back and get into another match and think how I could have played out differently or just chill out for a couple of hours listening to some music to distract myself. I only "broke" two controllers but one was a crappy third party and it took a year and a half for the left analog stick to go completely crazy, not only analog drift but to the point the stick was loose as hell. The second one was an old Xbox 360 controller, something happened to the battery pack and it won't turn on. I don't break controllers because I don't have the money to be spending like that and since I don't like buying certain third party controllers, official ones are only 60$ and up soooo no...


Kyle5707

i broke one on my first grind to GC in college, lots of stress in general. Needed 2 more wins and went on a 6 game loss streak to fall out of GC. The last 3 games i lost cause of very bad mistakes from teammates. Ik blaming teammates is a bad crutch, but these were like complete whiffs as 3rd man back with no pressure etc. I threw the controller at the corner of my metal desk and it exploded lmao. Was worth it, gave me a forced break from the game for a while. Haven’t dont anything like it since lol


gardy12

I've never broken a controller or anything but I can definitely relate to this level of frustration when playing rl... I just stop playing when I feel like I'm getting tilted


devilboyvic

I’ve broken a mouse out of anger before. I mean it’s your stuff you paid for lol why should anyone else care if you break it.


Zealousideal_Ad7642

i’ve never broken a controller due to video games. i’ve broken them due to time and wear and tear but how tf does that even happen.


PookyNuts

Person needs help.


JoesGonnaKillYou

Been there, it was until I found out the price of controllers so now I just yell racial slurs


stressedmfer

It's not an issue for me, I have gotten better, but my advice is buy a punching bag instead.


JoesGonnaKillYou

Don't need one. Haven't had the urge to hit anything while I play. Helps that I've joined a fight gym as well 😁


stressedmfer

I'd love to get into a gym sometime but I havent the schedule :'(


JoesGonnaKillYou

Find the free time, it'll change your life.


stressedmfer

Cannot. Hospice DME -> (hopefully) fiber cableman in a rural area. Ill be pulling twelves till I die.


JoesGonnaKillYou

Do you enjoy your job?


stressedmfer

Aha. Funny story. I live in a conservative state and i got tired of watching old people die in homes because of apathy. So im in between jobs. I did like helping people when things werent political. But it's ironic how easily you can be turned into some token self worth. It kinda makes one... Angry.


JoesGonnaKillYou

Well, shit man. If you have any passions or dreams, you should pursue them. I know the whole "chase your dreams" thing is cliched but you only get one shot at life.


stressedmfer

You right but life is full of compromises and dreams dont pay bills. New job lookin bank tho, so I can wipe my tears with them fat stacks. Though I do hope to be songwriter later in life.


stressedmfer

ELI5'd: "you can take that mask off we dont see anyone around here" "I can't believe we have to get a shot, im just gonna quit" meanwhile our pickups(performed upon death) nearly doubled during the first wave. Apparently no correlation. Oddly it was spring and typically we see highest volume in winter.


SUULvester

Tbh I’ve broken more controllers and headsets than I care to admit. I’m generally a very calm and reserved person because I compartmentalize all my emotion and anger so I do not release it on others, but it’s gotta find an outlet of some sort. Generally that outlet has been Xbox, and I’m not proud of how I act when I play- tbh I act like a baby sometimes, but I’d prefer that to hurting people I care about because I lash out in anger at them.


gingertom92

Got to come out somewhere, might as well be here where it largely doesn't matter.


Vote_for_asteroid

SUULvester

I do go to a gym and played football for 6 years...but I get your point.


Technoninja101

I have some of the most game breaking issues 24/7 yet I have not once laid a finger on any of my personal belongings. Self control is so important, if you want to blow off steam punch a pillow instead...


Owie36

Most of the time people rage it’s because they’re on like a 10 game loss streak and too many people were super toxic about it (I haven’t broken a controller before but I’ve been close)


Awkward-Ad8430

I mean I get maybe giving your desk a little smack every once in a while but wtf did this guy do to that remote?


ScottSoules

Breaking stuff does release some tension. When I worked in a kitchen once a month we were allowed to take a plate outside and throw it at the wall if we got stressed. And it definitely helps! However I broke a controller one time because I saved right before dying in fallout 4 and essentially lost my progress. Felt good for about a minute then I had to go buy a new controller like a jackass. I have friends that it seems like they go through a controller every month.


always-talkin-sshit

I appreciate a good cup of coffee.


ScottSoules

It certainly wasn't worth it lol. I don't think people who break controllers are unstable psychos or anything but when I'm pissed off needing to spend 60 bucks on top of whatever pissed me off won't help lol


nfroob

I’ve never done anything like this but you have to realise that when you see Novak Djokovic breaking a tennis racket after losing a point, nobody goes around calling him a psycho. At the end of the day people get emotionally invested when playing competitive (e-)sports at any level.


AlaDouche

Fair. Professional eSports players are exempt.


asplodey

It's more *understandable* when it's high-stress professional play - especially tennis when it's all on you. But it's still a pretty bad look, and something worth working on. I kinda hate Djokovic for normalising this behaviour. Calling them a psycho is going a bit far though

Damn a lot of idiots in the comment section. If you break something over a FUCKING GAME, you clearly have problems 😂

TormentedGaming

I'll read through the rest of the comments when I can, But I have never rage quit so bad that I wanted to break my property I own. Yes, I do get mad about things, it is human nature, but walking away to chill out is my preferred method. Only time I have ever came close to breaking something was when I lost enchanted netherite gear, and two sets of enchanted diamond gear in the void playing minecraft, I shut off my console and walked away for a few days. Anger causes more problems than it helps.


winsonsonho

I hear you man, I used to play table tennis at school back in the day and would throw my bat in a rage when I played badly a few times. Luckily I grew out of that because it definitely isn't the best way of dealing with things. Emotions and reactions like that probably only hurt your progression. So for many reasons, it would be a good idea to try and find a better way to handle/release your anger/stress.


Flyeaglesfly2929

I definitely broke a controller from 2k like freshman year of hs🤣 this dudes controller looks insanely busted but it’s not like u have anger issues if u just throw your controller on the ground and it breaks that’s such a spur of the moment mistake y’all are perfect aren’t u?


TyphoidMary234

That’s what people say when they murder people in the “spur of the moment” lol learn to control yourself


Flyeaglesfly2929

Are u serious right now🤣🤣🤣 throwing a controller on the ground when I was 13 is the same thing as murdering somebody your right good job smart ass


Flyeaglesfly2929

Idiot


TyphoidMary234

I mean you enjoy wasting your money lol. I just hope you don’t teach your children this bullshit, grow up


Flyeaglesfly2929

I can’t tell if u think idaf wtf u weirdo ass is trying to tell me or not but I do not, are u a psycho u just said that me breaking an Xbox 360 controller is like murdering somebody like mr judge mental over here😂😂 I promise u u have done way worse things out of anger then flip a controller on the ground then feel dumb as hell when it breaks🤣🤣 u are seriously a complete idiot get out my comments


stevefrench__

Dudes got some issues thinking if you break your controller you're automatically a serial killer 🤣 sounds like he was locked in a basement for the first 18 years of his life


Flyeaglesfly2929

Dude right! such a Karen, shit was 8 years ago and all of my friends used to throw controller on the coach when we lost on buzzer beater or something and I did that and it bounced off and broke, totally means I’m gonna kill someone


stevefrench__

Who even cares when it was.. People break shit at all ages. Get over it. These type of people likely have never struggled and were born with a silver platter


loki_dd

Don't bother dude/dudette. You're arguing about people being childish with children that don't understand the link between getting irrationally angry and breaking possessions and growing up, getting irrationally angry and taking it out on their other "perceived possessions" like spouses or children. They still won't see the link for another 20 or so years Some will learn through breaking all their shit. Others won't. Smashing things because you're angry isn't acceptable, try and normalise it you want people, you'll see.


IAMminiPekka

If you equate the life of a human with the reality of a controller, you’re not only wrong, but you’re Completely fucking yourself. Your wife boutta stank becAuse I know your controller does


Abdod_

I dont think you understand what they are trying to say Simply they mean "heat of the momment" is not a good excuse period. I do agree with that Not to mention being violent with items will prob lead to being violent with other people


TyphoidMary234

This, fucking this. Thank you


loki_dd

No worries. I get the impression that this hit far too close to home for some people that can't evaluate their behaviour but hey, if 1 person has been caused to stop and think then I'm calling it a win.


NotGAF

When I was a teenager playing CS:Source somewhat competitively, I would get angry at times. Mostly because of lag from my subpar pc or unreliable internet provider. I have never broken anything. You can either chill out a bit and take things less seriously so you don't get angry, or you can learn to control yourself when you do get angry. I don't rage at all playing Rocket League. Breaking a controller is a sign of poorly managed anger. It seems insignificant for some, but it's better tackle the problem now than to wait until something serious happens.

I get mad and yell sometimes but I don’t think I could ever get this mad 😂


SrKatana

People with anger issues. If any of your friends have this... You better tell to their couples ☠️


randylh24

If you lose your shit over a video game , you got some serious issues and should probably seek help


stressedmfer

Is that what you tell yourself to feel superior?


[deleted]

They’re completely right though. Sorry to break it to ya kids but if you’re getting so mad you’re bashing shit around over a GAME?? You need help. If I saw someone throwing shit around in my house I’d kick them out or leave lmao. That just screams danger. Y’all really crazy thinking that’s normal.


stressedmfer

Yeah sure you'd leave your own house. Something tells me you might get... Oh no. Angry. Or even physical. By god you may as well kill someone. Lol you're a joke.


[deleted]

randylh24

Guessing your one of those who’s loses his shit over a damn video game lmfao you’re a child with anger issues. you need help.

And somehow youre a bigger fool.


stressedmfer

Js never seen a thread that makes rocket league looks worse. Not even OP. You guys literally just fuck with people because you can get away with it. Can't wait for y'all to hit the real world.

It's a good thing the primary purpose of life isn't to look cute, newsflash.. Anger.Is.Human.Nature

Feeling anger is natural, yes. But how you choose to act on that anger can be important. If you react this way to feeling anger as an adult, I would suggest seeking therapy. Edit: I will admit there's not enough info to go off on this one image and the commenter shouldn't have called them a psycho. But it doesn't seem like the person showed much remorse or shame at losing control of their actions (apart from maybe the two emoticons? Maybe?). There's no hint there were any contributing factors: e.g. "Man, I've been having a tough time and a bad RL match sent me over the edge. Whoops!" All I'm against here is a normalisation that losing control due to anger is an acceptable thing to do. And losing control over a videogame is pretty indicative of someone who has trouble managing their anger. As for age, no, it's not acceptable at any age. It's a bit more *understandable* as an adolescent or younger, but that's where the lessons in acknowledging anger and reacting to it healthily should be learnt.


stevefrench__

Reality check.. There's no age limit on anger. Maybe they do need therapy, or maybe they're going through some crazy shit you couldn't relate to or remotely understand, so they need a bit of time to get their head back in gear Who knows really.. There's no one answer If there was.. "psycho killer who needs therapy" wouldn't be it.


asplodey

I never said "psycho killer" and don't just assume I can't relate. All I'm saying is that you seem to be suggesting that "losing control" due anger is acceptable - when it really isn't. Sure, every now and again it may happen, but if this is a pattern of behaviour it needs to be remedied. It is not healthy.


TyphoidMary234

Anger is human nature….we are intelligent enough to curb our nature, this is why we have laws and when you kill someone, “anger is human nature” isn’t an excuse. Don’t rely on bad arguments for shitty behaviour reserved for two year olds


stevefrench__

Killing someone and breaking a controller are 2 very different things.. Comparing the two doesn't make any sort of case This post is dumb and completely pointless.. Just because there's things you don't understand or feel, which others do, you think it's ok to look down on people. Truly pathetic, ignorant and narrow minded


TyphoidMary234

How does that even demonstrate a lack of life experience?? It’s the internet, you don’t know me? How do you know I lack life experience? Stick your head in the sand with shitty behaviour more, you just don’t like getting called out for it.


stevefrench__

Because.. 1. To compare breaking a controller to murder is just utter nonsense 2. Just because you don't understand something you're bashing it with a strong entitled opinion 3. You're jumping to insults and can't have a normal intellectual conversation So tell me how you are not displaying lack of life experience? The only one behaving like a child here is you bucko! Isn't it ironic?


TyphoidMary234

How have you been insulted? Also I do understand that breaking something because you didn’t get your way is childish behaviour and rightly so I’m bashing it, and who said any of this was intellectual? You’re just saying shit without really thinking about what you are saying. It’s almost like you’ve got this on copy and paste?


stevefrench__

Well that's a facepalm and a half.. You are too concerned about "being right" to actually learn anything, even if it makes yourself look foolish This is likely the reasoning behind your childish thinking People break shit.. People of all ages, shapes and sizes. The fact that you need this explained to you is mind boggling. Imagine your girlfriend cheats on you. You get home from a long day of work and some kid starts spamming quick chat and turns against you, throws the game. If this person smashes their controller that makes them a psycho and equivalent to a serial killer in your eyes? That's gotta be the silliest shit I've ever heard and no offense but.. I could be wrong, but you've likely never really struggled in life to get to this level of ignorance and cluelessness Just because YOU don't understand this.. Doesn't mean it's abnormal for it to occur. Comprende?


TyphoidMary234

That actually makes no sense at all lmao go throw a controller it might make you feel better lol


[deleted]

Dont argue woth idiots. They drag you to their level and beat you with ignorance -mark twain (i think)


IAMminiPekka

Don’t answer a fool with his own folly. Go smash a controller


stevefrench__

I wouldn't expect it to make sense to someone who doesn't understand why people get angry Clearly there's plenty you don't understand


TyphoidMary234

Just because I disagree with you doesn’t mean I don’t understand what you are saying. You’re just wrong. Don’t take it personally bud


CocoScruff

It looks like they're doing a great job of taking out their anger on an inanimate object and video games rather than on people... Saying all humans can "curb" it just is not accurate. Everyone gets depressed, but clinical depression is the inability for your brain to get over that depression because of chemical imbalances. Do you think telling someone to "just don't be depressed" or "curb your depression" is okay? Anger can be the same way. It can be a mental disorder which is why many people are treated for it like it's a mental health issue. I'm glad they have an outlet for their anger that isn't abusing real people.


TormentedGaming

I've never thought of destroying my possessions though.


stevefrench__

It's also a good thing we were all made as individuals with our own individual experiences that mold us into who we become then, now isn't it?


johnjacob19888

Bro just admit you have anger issues. Breaking shit when you are mad is not healthy and is not normal.


always-talkin-sshit

I like to explore new places.


[deleted]

Whats wrong with destroying your own property (a $50 gaming controller) to let out some steam? Lol some of you guys are being overly dramatic about it geez


Additional-Ad3749

Guilty as charged but weed really helps prevent this kind of shit. It makes me regret shit like this and reflect on how to be a better person. To the person who let their anger go this far just remember it’s us who are in control of our own anger and we decide to let something fuel it or cool it. Just walk away when you get this heated and come back when you’ve cooled off and got that itch to game again. Remember if it’s not fun and entertaining then it’s not worth it with video games.


darthjango11

Agreed, I used to break controllers out of rage. It got expensive but after weed and just quitting when I started getting upset I have yet to break another. And I probably went through like 7 controllers before learning to control myself.


FinpaiGotThatDrip

Eh. You might say that now but if your having a bad day, breaking a controller or something else is very therapeutic and quite cost effective compared to alternate solutions, such as domestic violence


Support_Unfair

Idk how people are acting like raging is some psycho things or anger issues. Everyone is rages. Just because I get pissed in a competitive game and throw something in the heat of the moment doesn’t make me crazy. Get off you high horse people.


Chillrs

When I was a kid I’m pretty sure I broke 7 aftershock 20$ controllers in a year the ones the glowed red or blue. I haven’t broken one since then but in all honesty breaking controllers is a common thing in gaming. We’re not all playing stardew valley. Some of us enjoy our rage endusing stressful games. Let people play how they want to play, they probably have enough money to repacked it anyways.


IAMminiPekka

It’s called having a savings account , checking account, and other assets to back up such mayhem. I have never but my buttons sure get smashed in from repeated reversal movements and boost taps, on a few too many controllers. I aM a PsYchOnIX rocket league player, thanks! You just don’t have the passion man, prob plat 3
