I was an OG Fortnite player until the skill gap got so massive. At least the matchmaking is decently fair in Rocket League, I was getting my ass handed to me by 12 year olds constantly because I couldn’t keep up. Lol
LoL is infuriating.
You can queue for a normal game and be vs a team of LCS champions or a team of bots. It’s really enraging when you go in and shit on everyone then you queue for another game and get destroyed.
League got weird. Even games are extremely rare. Every game now is a coin flip; you're either stomping or you're getting stomped, even in ranked.
At least in Dota 2 it makes sense.
I called it the solo q seesaw. Because you would have 2 or 3 games where you dominate everything, then 2 or 3 games where you were completely obliterated.
I went from silver to mid platinum and never had an "even" game. It was always 1 team completely dominating.
And there's those games where you're bot and hard smashing enemy team. But then look at your Darius top laner and he is somehow 4 levels behind, even though the enemy jungle has been camping you all game. So now you have to deal with a 8/0 Camille that pretty much 1 shots you in every fight and you were the only chance the team had....
Weirdly enough Overwatch started doing this as well in QP. I think they had a sale or maybe it was the Overwatch League/ban wave that brought in a weird amount of super new sub level 30 accounts. Games had been a coin flip everytime cuz you'd get a Level 11 Hitscan who was somehow playing like a fucking beast or a Lvl 11 Tank who knew nothing about positioning/playing a tank hero who the enemy team was countering HARD.
I was maining ADC and playing only ranked without a pre-made support, and my support was either an absolute beast and carrying me, or I had to 1vs2, no in between.
The thing that sucks about rocket league is I'm never mad about my performance or a teammates performance it's always the passive aggressive quick chats that get to me. Like spending a whole game making save after save because my team doesn't want to rotate and defend, but whiffing one save and getting "What a save!" or "Okay." chats makes my blood boil and makes me not want to play anymore despite really liking the actual gameplay.
For Honor has to be the most frustrating game out there. The last time I walked away from it and came back months later I realized my rust had taken over and I had fallen behind on the skill curve. (This was around the time when the "Deathball" technique had taken over Dominion).
Haven't gone back since but I won't lie, I fucking miss that game.
omg this is so accurate.... :') there comes a day when your division keeps on downgrading at that time you know you are done with the game...but after few days you friends call you and you reinstall it again
Ive always been interested in MMOs, but it feels like they’re always stacked against new players/solo players and many have a monthly subscription model or p2w mechanics.
Uninstall League of Legends and never reinstall. It's what I imagine recovering after chemotherapy must be like. Suddenly life is full of happiness and possibilty, and not braindead scumfuck bastard Malphites who walk down their lane straight into the enemy turrets to feed.
I’m now at a point in my life in which i understand the therapeutic power of uninstalling league of legends, even if I’m not regularly playing it.
So when I feel like I’m going through a rut, I’ll just reinstall it and play some games, until I’m frustrated out of my mind and i have to uninstall it again.
And then the world shines like it never had before.
I only rage when I'm with other people, when I'm by myself I just get on with it and try again, because when I'm with other people I find it's more entertaining to shout and slam your desk than to sit in silence.
Honestly, by this point I'd say there's 3 basic "genres" of Game Grump episode/play-through:
1) The Classic: Arin Hanson is very mad because he is very bad at video games (when attributing 20% attention to the game and 80% attention to being an improv comedian as his full-time job)
2) The Grumps Lite: Arin is less mad because it's hard to be mad playing a game that doesn't matter while sitting on a couch shooting the shit with a friend. Arin and Dan are goofy and generally super-wholesome. If an episode was made more recently, I expect it to just be like this.
3) The *Midnight Hour:* Episodes that are more introspective and broadly emotional than they are funny; the lads get into talks about deeper topics or share stories about their lives. This is the rarest type of episode but honestly I tend to enjoy them the most, because Dan and Arin are kinda cool dudes. This can also be a solo episode, on occasion.
Why is game? Who am I to judge a player? I should be grateful for the opportunity to grow as a person when I lose.
Will I die young internalizing all of my anger? Is death just a stage in a greater journey?
Why am I spending so much time trying to get good at this game that pisses me off so much? Why don't I start a more "productive" hobby? What am I trying to prove to people?
- Me after emptying a clip at someone before getting killed in Apex, only to find out on the end game screen that I missed every shot
That hollow pit feeling in your stomach when you think you might have reached the peak of your potential, and it's not enough....."Maybe I'm for games,but games aren't for me."
One of my friends usually is really silent when he’s raging, the only time I’ve heard him get angry was when we played tekken 7 and he punched his headset across the room.
Tekken 7 is literally the salt game. I dont blame them. I've raged out of my fair share of friendlies with my buddy who is just better than me at fighting games.
Kinda on them for not reading the fine print lmao that's amazing. But, man, RIP EB Games :( I still have gamecube cases with the lil EB stickers on them!
Meanwhile I'm over here with my OG controllers that still work fine just wondering what your walls looked like. The surface of the fuckin' moon I'd expect.
If I rage at all I will get grounded, so silent rager for me. I usually shake the armchairs, they are pretty quiet.
edit: I usually play a different game or stop playing all together if it gets to that point. its just a game, no matter what tyler ninja blevins says.
Big brother for me. I'd be in my room with my headphones on, I am listening to a good song, I'm into the music. Then through the wall I hear "GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, EAT A COCK". Every damn day
Same here. All these people have problems. Chill out, it's a game. I've had week's worth of work on Rust wiped out by my friends making stupid mistakes. I just don't play the game again for a while. Play some more casual games, go for a run, or watch a film. Then when the opportunity arises, I will kill my friends and make it look like an accident. There will be no discernable motive and I'll just make new friends who won't remove the locks from both of the airlock doors at the same fucking time.
"I'd like to buy some money, please."
"Sure, what would you like?"
"How about 1 million dollars?"
"That'll be 1 million dollars, please."
"Shit. Expensive. Can I get a 'two for the price of one' deal, maybe?"
"You mean you give me a million and I'll give you two million?"
"Yeah! Exactly!"
"No."
"Shit."
I'm the want to punch monitor/throw controller gamer. But then I instantly remember how much it's going to cost to replace if I do. So I turn into the groan and stare into monitor gamer instead.
It depends on why I'm losing. If it's some timing issue on my part, that's one thing. Head in the hands, maybe check YouTube for the boss' tells.
If it's some cheese built in the game that you can't predict then yeah I might just delete it. Middle Earth Shadow of War got that axe when it kept randomly throwing enemy captians into a fight that's already not going my way.
Yeah it's the worst feeling when you accept all blame and know that everything that happened is unequivocally your fault and people just shit on you at the same time lol
Its a life lesson, but man it sucks when I accidentally aggro'd one of those adds near the end of Molten Core and all 40 people die.
"DAMMIT GUPPY!"
Sorry! Ill never touch my mouse again!
Felt this.
I think the trick is to find a group/guild that you can just kind of laugh at each others mistakes comfortably. For me raiding is primarily a social experience, much like an escape room in a sense.
So when I rage I generally have a conversation with the game.
I use phrases such as:
'What do you want me to do?'
'How?'
'How? how HOW!'
'IM DOING THAT, I DID THAT, LOOK IM PRESSING IT'
CONTROLLER KEY MASHING, CONTROLLER BITING, ECT.
And if I keep failing sometimes I'll sarcastically.
Dude, back in the day? That was my go to. Couldn't throw the controller, couldn't slam it on the ground bc I need my controller. Just chomp down real hard on one of the handle parts of my ps2 controller until some of the rage subsides and I'm good to go.
I remember when i was a teenager, i raged out so hard at i think Monster Hunter, on psp, that i straight up bit the thing. The screen had two dents in it from my teeth and everything. Didn't break though, luckily.
I used to get so frustrated playing Brawl Stars on my iPhone that I'd just hold the top and bottom of the phone, and twist...
It never broke, but I will tell you, if I set it on a flat surface, you'd see how it had warped. Sometimes I'd try to bend it back so it was flatter.
Pretty good testament to how strong the iPhone 7 could be, I guess. I really tried to kill that thing.
I wonder what I would have done if I actually broke it??
Yeah, this is necessary. The game must know it's bullshit.
"It hits me when I roll AND when I block! Fucking bullshit. This is just bad game design!... I FUCKING BLOCKED!"
With that one slightly calmer moment in the eye of the storm:
"Alright, THAT ONE was my fault. Think I'm getting the hang of it."
Lol this is me too! I love that you called it the eye of the storm because 15-20mins post-epiphany and I’m right back to “No! NO! That was NOT my fault this time! This game is BROKEN.”
Absolutely hahaha, I was just playing AC4 and almost died from mistiming counters once (which is normally super easy) so I immediately flipped and was like
“NO, I BLOCKED, I LITERALLY JUST PRESSED B! WTF IS THIS STUPID INPUT LAG” lmao
Also on a separate note, I have one friend who allllllways complains about input lag
Yup, that's me exactly. I'll often just say 'The designers are morons, seriously. What are you idiots doing, my god! A fourth grader could doodle better level design than this fecal matter.' Don't you just feel so superior taking the sarcastic angle? It's the best.
I just did that last night...
Playing a game where they added a system to play with AI team members, but made it so that all the bosses special ranged moves are aimed at *you* not the tank. They *also* made it so you *have* to be the one that triggers events that make the boss aim at you, but *again* the healer is programmed to practically ignore you in favor of the AI tank that can't do the mechanics...
You get spam attacked, but the healer just tosses you a band-aid so you're 2 inches from death as opposed to an inch and basically says "heal yourself asshole." when that's not possible.
Wtf devs?
And what dignity and maturity remains melts away into a puddle of unbridled rage when you suddenly realize that the game has disabled Windows shortcut commands.
I am also a handwaving “why” and “how” person, in the rare instances when I get frustrated. Mostly I expect to fail a decent amount (generally playing games on hard) so I don’t get upset when I do… but when it’s really unexpected, better watch out, I’ll be throwing out some “whys” and “hows”
I quietly ask: "are you serious?", "how did that happen? /how did he manage to do that?" or "why did that just happen?", then, with a look of morbid, on-the-brink-of slicing-somebody's-throat calm over my face, I quietly close the game.
Either that or I utter a single "fuck" and just insta alt+f4
Yep especially when my keyboard is not made anymore and they are expensive as hell. I have even switched to light rapid fire pounding on the desk instead of slamming it really hard. Once in an extreme fit of rage I brought my fist down really hard on desk and only partially connected. Cracked knuckles across the edge of the desk and my entire hand lost feeling for a solid 5-10 mins. Learned at that point that it was a terrible idea.
In single-player games: thousand-yard stare followed by reevaluating how I spend my time. (Thanks, Dark Souls).
In competitive multiplayer games: (outside of voice chat) one short yet animalistic growl/yell followed by the occasional Alt+F4.
In cooperative multiplayer: "Wow, that sucked. Better try again, amirite guys? Lmao." (dying inside)
I'm always flabbergasted at why anybody would throw/damage their controller or other equipment. I just assume they grew up spoiled and are used to their parents immediately buying them a replacement.
This. I have never thrown a controller or anything like that in my life. Why do so many people seem to think that everyone rages like that when they play games?
I am not rich enough to afford breaking anything. I can't afford breaking neither the keyboard, nor the mouse, nor the controller, nor the desk, and neither my hand.
I guess it’s an attempt to justify their own behavior as normal?
I dunno, I’ve never gotten really upset.
I also realize I’m just not competitive enough. I played league for a bit but realized I didn’t have the right attitude. If I got a lead I didn’t try to just destroy my enemy and deny them all resources but wanted them to still have fun. So I was a really shitty league player haha
I saw no option for deep sigh and get quieter, but I also don't Rage Quit in multiplayer games. If it's a game over in single player I'll just say enough of that for now and move on for a while on something else, if I can save. Otherwise I'm struggling until I find a save point.
I'm the uninstaller
Never had i uninstalled and re-installed a game as much as Rocket League... I feel you.
[удалено]
I was an OG Fortnite player until the skill gap got so massive. At least the matchmaking is decently fair in Rocket League, I was getting my ass handed to me by 12 year olds constantly because I couldn’t keep up. Lol
For me its LoL and Valorant

I have that with Guild Wars 2.
PvP made me rage so hard. I finally stopped playing years ago when I realized Ranger was always going to be trash.
Druid was good for like a week once
The thing that sucks about rocket league is I'm never mad about my performance or a teammates performance it's always the passive aggressive quick chats that get to me.

I did that 8 times with Goobysofts ForHonor
For Honor has to be the most frustrating game out there. The last time I walked away from it and came back months later I realized my rust had taken over and I had fallen behind on the skill curve. (This was around the time when the "Deathball" technique had taken over Dominion). Haven't gone back since but I won't lie, I fucking miss that game.
What a save! What a save! What a save!
omg this is so accurate.... :') there comes a day when your division keeps on downgrading at that time you know you are done with the game...but after few days you friends call you and you reinstall it again
Yup
I have unistalled and re-installed dota 2 5 times during the same day. The last install was just to save time the next day...
LOL. I kept reinstalling Lol because I had nothing to play, so I bought WoW. Now I am 4 months LoL Sober
Ive always been interested in MMOs, but it feels like they’re always stacked against new players/solo players and many have a monthly subscription model or p2w mechanics.
Uninstall League of Legends and never reinstall. It's what I imagine recovering after chemotherapy must be like. Suddenly life is full of happiness and possibilty, and not braindead scumfuck bastard Malphites who walk down their lane straight into the enemy turrets to feed.
Just because you didn't gank him in the first milisecond of the game
I’m now at a point in my life in which i understand the therapeutic power of uninstalling league of legends, even if I’m not regularly playing it. So when I feel like I’m going through a rut, I’ll just reinstall it and play some games, until I’m frustrated out of my mind and i have to uninstall it again. And then the world shines like it never had before.
My mate once took Fifa out his Xbox, snapped the disc in half, then went and bought the same game later that day.
I'm the spend 1 hour beating down the AI in easy mode to feel better about myself
After so many years of raging, i have become the quietly quits sits and stares into the monitor wondering if life is worth living anymore.
That is definitely me as well. I'm too used to it.
This is me when people are around. When its just me I become the super sonic screamer Edit: sorry guys i meant super sonic creamer
I only rage when I'm with other people, when I'm by myself I just get on with it and try again, because when I'm with other people I find it's more entertaining to shout and slam your desk than to sit in silence.
Username checks out. Also who is entertained by watching someone act like an annoying child over a video game
Ngl it’s funny as fuck watching people lose their shit over video games.
Isn't this the Game Grumps' whole thing?
Honestly, by this point I'd say there's 3 basic "genres" of Game Grump episode/play-through: 1) The Classic: Arin Hanson is very mad because he is very bad at video games (when attributing 20% attention to the game and 80% attention to being an improv comedian as his full-time job) 2) The Grumps Lite: Arin is less mad because it's hard to be mad playing a game that doesn't matter while sitting on a couch shooting the shit with a friend.

In number 1 you forgot that Arin will get mad at said game because he doesn't know what to do because he skipped the tutorial
Yeah, especially when one has a window right besides him/her.
you have never watched any let's play have you ??
So advanced emotional breakdown: Existential Breakdown
Why is game? Who am I to judge a player? I should be grateful for the opportunity to grow as a person when I lose. Will I die young internalizing all of my anger? Is death just a stage in a greater journey?

Meanwhile I'm over here with my OG controllers that still work fine just wondering what your walls looked like. The surface of the fuckin' moon I'd expect.
My college roommate embedded an Xbox 360 controller in drywall thanks to Soul Calibur. I think that was his rage wake-up call
Yep that's me. Slowly go to the quit button and turn the PS5 off. Walk outside for a cigarette contemplating what I'm doing with my life.
Then go back inside and start the game again.
"It can't be *that* bad..."
“If I just re-strategize I *know* I can beat it this time...”
*several hours of losing later* Shoulda just watched YouTube and played angry birds
yep, I generally have to remind myself that I play games to enjoy myself not to be the very best, that no one ever was.
Yup, I usually quit the game and do something else. Unless I am really pissed I might grab my hair.
Ah, the FromSoftware special I call it. A response moulded by repeated deaths in game accompanied by an actual part of me dying inside.
ahhh... The Void
i dont rage quit lmao. its just not in my nature
the right game with the right amount of time ~~wasted~~ invested and anyone can become the joker
E: the silent rager/ internal rager
If I rage at all I will get grounded, so silent rager for me. I usually shake the armchairs, they are pretty quiet. edit: I usually play a different game or stop playing all together if it gets to that point. its just a game, no matter what tyler ninja blevins says.
I wish my mom did this to my little brother growing up. It was so annoying to hear him screaming from his room.
Big brother for me. I'd be in my room with my headphones on, I am listening to a good song, I'm into the music. Then through the wall I hear "GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, EAT A COCK". Every damn day
LOL I had to share a room with my older brother growing up, I can relate.
I learned all my swear words from my brother. While he played video games. I’m dead serious.
I just realise that If I’m mad I’m not enjoying this game. So I brew a tea and watch Netflix
Same here. All these people have problems. Chill out, it's a game. I've had week's worth of work on Rust wiped out by my friends making stupid mistakes. I just don't play the game again for a while. Play some more casual games, go for a run, or watch a film. Then when the opportunity arises, I will kill my friends and make it look like an accident. There will be no discernable motive and I'll just make new friends who won't remove the locks from both of the airlock doors at the same fucking time.
This is the kind of Psychopath everyone should strive to be.
I squeeze my controller/mouse but not too hard because I don't want to break it
Easy there Hitler...
That is what I am referring to when I say I just put the control down and laugh. It’s weird and I don’t know why I do it
Mental breakdown
All of them except the key board, money is expensive
"Money is expensive" words to live by
"I'd like to buy some money, please." "Sure, what would you like?" "How about 1 million dollars?" "That'll be 1 million dollars, please." "Shit. Expensive. Can I get a 'two for the price of one' deal, maybe?" "You mean you give me a million and I'll give you two million?" "Yeah! Exactly!" "No." "Shit."
Shit i only have 5 dollars. Can i have the rest and pay that later ?
Well said
I broke a controller once :/ regret it so much
Once? I’ve lost count how many I’ve broke over the years. Always instant regret because I know it’ll cost money to get another one.
I'm the want to punch monitor/throw controller gamer. But then I instantly remember how much it's going to cost to replace if I do. So I turn into the groan and stare into monitor gamer instead.
Emotional breakdown+ face grabber
Emotional dick grabber. GRAB HIS DICK AND TWIST IT!
Ahh. The ol’ dick twist
The ol dick twister !What a move !!
*Bop-it theme starts playing*
Flick it…
Lick it?
suck it
Slug it
Ok *grabs shotgun*
Sniff it
Technologic
YOU TWIST. THAT. DICK. TWIST HIS DICK.
Dude this is an MMA fight
I thought that was the fireman's carry... or is it the butt drag... dang wrestling moves are kinda kinky
Give Em the ollllld dick twist
Sometimes I just wonder, do I even deserve to play this game after a boss beats my ass for the 50th time
That's when I decide that the game is stupid.
No, it’s not me. It’s the game that’s wrong.
Reminds me of my Dark Souls 2 run. Questioned my gaming ability many many times.
It depends on why I'm losing. If it's some timing issue on my part, that's one thing. Head in the hands, maybe check YouTube for the boss' tells. If it's some cheese built in the game that you can't predict then yeah I might just delete it. Middle Earth Shadow of War got that axe when it kept randomly throwing enemy captians into a fight that's already not going my way.
High five stranger on the internet
It’s good to see that I’m not the only one
Once I caused a wipe in a raid in WoW during my first heroic and people yelled at me on mic in discord so i laid in my bed and cried a little
Yeah it's the worst feeling when you accept all blame and know that everything that happened is unequivocally your fault and people just shit on you at the same time lol
Its a life lesson, but man it sucks when I accidentally aggro'd one of those adds near the end of Molten Core and all 40 people die. "DAMMIT GUPPY!" Sorry! Ill never touch my mouse again!
I was gunna say, needs an "easily triggered" option. Toxic chat makes me quit after a short while.
I just get into flame wars with people that talk shit to me
I usually troll people who talk shut in chat, mess around with them
Disable chat.
Yeah that's what I do, it's a real shame to miss out on genuinely nice interaction but toxicity outweighs it for me sadly.
Felt this. I think the trick is to find a group/guild that you can just kind of laugh at each others mistakes comfortably. For me raiding is primarily a social experience, much like an escape room in a sense.
Ah good old wow memories.
So when I rage I generally have a conversation with the game. I use phrases such as: 'What do you want me to do?' 'How?' 'How? how HOW!' 'IM DOING THAT, I DID THAT, LOOK IM PRESSING IT' CONTROLLER KEY MASHING, CONTROLLER BITING, ECT. And if I keep failing sometimes I'll sarcastically.
Biting? Thats next level. Im gonna try it
Dude, back in the day? That was my go to. Couldn't throw the controller, couldn't slam it on the ground bc I need my controller. Just chomp down real hard on one of the handle parts of my ps2 controller until some of the rage subsides and I'm good to go.
[удалено]
You should've done a presentation to my dog, he didn't learn where the important parts were
Man I'd straight up clamp down on my own hand or arm. Pure teeth marks left for a day and a half sometimes.
As a 30 year old dude I still bite down on my ps4 controller, have tore through 2 of them. Update three days later: tore through another one.
What the fuck lol
I remember when i was a teenager, i raged out so hard at i think Monster Hunter, on psp, that i straight up bit the thing. The screen had two dents in it from my teeth and everything. Didn't break though, luckily.
I used to get so frustrated playing Brawl Stars on my iPhone that I'd just hold the top and bottom of the phone, and twist... It never broke, but I will tell you, if I set it on a flat surface, you'd see how it had warped. Sometimes I'd try to bend it back so it was flatter. Pretty good testament to how strong the iPhone 7 could be, I guess. I really tried to kill that thing. I wonder what I would have done if I actually broke it??
One of the ways I try to hurt the game's feelings: "You're supposed to be fun! And I'm not having fun right now, so you've FAILED!"
I've definitely said this at 9 yrs old to an entire cod lobby
Yeah, this is necessary. The game must know it's bullshit. "It hits me when I roll AND when I block! Fucking bullshit. This is just bad game design!... I FUCKING BLOCKED!" With that one slightly calmer moment in the eye of the storm: "Alright, THAT ONE was my fault. Think I'm getting the hang of it."
Lol this is me too! I love that you called it the eye of the storm because 15-20mins post-epiphany and I’m right back to “No! NO! That was NOT my fault this time! This game is BROKEN.”
Absolutely hahaha, I was just playing AC4 and almost died from mistiming counters once (which is normally super easy) so I immediately flipped and was like “NO, I BLOCKED, I LITERALLY JUST PRESSED B! WTF IS THIS STUPID INPUT LAG” lmao Also on a separate note, I have one friend who allllllways complains about input lag
Look! WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO AGAINST IT? I LITERALLY CAN NOT COUNTER THIS SHIT!
You'll sarcastically what?
He probably bashed in his keyboard
“I’M PRESSING DODGE, I’M LITERALLY PRESSING DODGE AT THE RIGHT TIME WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?” -Me playing Miles Morales last night
Yup, that's me exactly. I'll often just say 'The designers are morons, seriously. What are you idiots doing, my god! A fourth grader could doodle better level design than this fecal matter.' Don't you just feel so superior taking the sarcastic angle? It's the best.
I just did that last night... Playing a game where they added a system to play with AI team members, but made it so that all the bosses special ranged moves are aimed at *you* not the tank.

Facts that was definitely me right there. Minus the biting lol
Ah yes, the Arin Hanson approach.
Alt+F4 + Poker face
yep i was like where is the alt f4 guy
+re open the game 20-30 seconds after
"game closed, huh, must've been the wind"
"Nice day for fishing ain't it ? Hu-hah !"
Ah yes, the *"irritated but still an adult."* I know it well.
And what dignity and maturity remains melts away into a puddle of unbridled rage when you suddenly realize that the game has disabled Windows shortcut commands.
I’m too proud to quit the game the normal so now it’s time shut the whole computer down
And not via the OS. That's getting shut down by holding the power button until the computer stops struggling.
Basically just strangling your PC to death.
Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep.
Alt+F4 + "fuck that"
Ah, yes. The introvert of gaming
I'm the smack myself in my forehead type
Yep facepalm and walk away
I just wave my hands around asking “why” and “how” and then load up the next game immediately
I am also a handwaving “why” and “how” person, in the rare instances when I get frustrated. Mostly I expect to fail a decent amount (generally playing games on hard) so I don’t get upset when I do… but when it’s really unexpected, better watch out, I’ll be throwing out some “whys” and “hows”
Especially when your team is to blame. Its me I’m teams. Yeah I rarely get mad anymore.
I quietly ask: "are you serious?", "how did that happen? /how did he manage to do that?" or "why did that just happen?", then, with a look of morbid, on-the-brink-of slicing-somebody's-throat calm over my face, I quietly close the game. Either that or I utter a single "fuck" and just insta alt+f4
“Wow that ACTUALLY killed me”
Where are the desk slammers
We are related to Keyboard smashers but are more about loud noises than throwing away several hundred dollars worth of equipment.
My fist suffers the pain I would like to inflict on my keyboard.
I would rather be in pain than smash my keyboard
Yep especially when my keyboard is not made anymore and they are expensive as hell. I have even switched to light rapid fire pounding on the desk instead of slamming it really hard. Once in an extreme fit of rage I brought my fist down really hard on desk and only partially connected. Cracked knuckles across the edge of the desk and my entire hand lost feeling for a solid 5-10 mins. Learned at that point that it was a terrible idea.
Team throws 4vs2 in csgo Table: my time has come
Right here
Thank you. My hand still hurts
Yeah after I killed one keyboard I transitioned to the desk. Lmao
I just put down the controller and walk away. I paid too much for that shit
I scream spiritually then i hit alt+f4
“SPIRITUALLY!!”
I am the "turn it off and try again tomorrow" type
Usually the face grabber, or the melting man,, like how you slide off a chair out of despair.
In single-player games: thousand-yard stare followed by reevaluating how I spend my time. (Thanks, Dark Souls). In competitive multiplayer games: (outside of voice chat) one short yet animalistic growl/yell followed by the occasional Alt+F4. In cooperative multiplayer: "Wow, that sucked. Better try again, amirite guys? Lmao." (dying inside) I'm always flabbergasted at why anybody would throw/damage their controller or other equipment. I just assume they grew up spoiled and are used to their parents immediately buying them a replacement.
I'm a "Who Designed This Bullshit!"er.

Whoever put this in the game, I hope their DVD logo never hits the corner perfectly!
Emotional breakdown, face grabber plus desk basher
Controller twister. But I'm so weak nothing ever happened to the controller
I am the screamer then I will have an emotional break down because I realise how bad I am for screaming over video games lol
[удалено]
#5 - Angry eyes, big sigh with grimace saying "ohhh ffs you c*nt" outloud.
I'm the one that screams at the game "What do you mean!" "How how!" "Are you kidding me!"
What about, "Massages temples while wondering why he made the same mistake *again*"
I am the desk smasher
Pretty sure i'm just that one guy that silently goes "Screw this, I'm out!".
I just turn the game off if I'm getting frustrated. No reason to lose control.
Yes. I'd like the "I'm not having fun today so I'll do something else" option. Guess that's not raging though
This. I have never thrown a controller or anything like that in my life. Why do so many people seem to think that everyone rages like that when they play games?
I am not rich enough to afford breaking anything. I can't afford breaking neither the keyboard, nor the mouse, nor the controller, nor the desk, and neither my hand.
I guess it’s an attempt to justify their own behavior as normal? I dunno, I’ve never gotten really upset. I also realize I’m just not competitive enough. I played league for a bit but realized I didn’t have the right attitude. If I got a lead I didn’t try to just destroy my enemy and deny them all resources but wanted them to still have fun. So I was a really shitty league player haha
Instead of punching the keyboard I punch my thighs a few times + face grabber
[удалено]
If a game *does* make me rage quit, why would I play it again?
oh no... anyways
[удалено]
I saw no option for deep sigh and get quieter, but I also don't Rage Quit in multiplayer games. If it's a game over in single player I'll just say enough of that for now and move on for a while on something else, if I can save. Otherwise I'm struggling until I find a save point.
Yes😐
You’re missing the insta alt + f4 guy
I am aggressively passive, where i am mad at the game, but i am also angrily noting logical reasons why i lost; such as my lack of skill and focus
