A bit weird to use soyjak in this one, most mic munchers don't nor can have beards as they don't have fully developed balls yet

It’s funny too because it totally depends on the game and how it’s monetized and set up as well. I had some of the most fun in games in my life playing quick play in the original overwatch with my buddies, even though I almost exclusively prefer offline single player open world games.
My skill increased dramatically with our constant playing, I switched between DPS, tank, heals and really learned the roster. Not that far off from playing N64 super smash with those same friends in college and switching to a new character when you felt like you had learned one pretty well.
I would get annoyed at losing, but it was whatever, I wasn’t trying to rank in competitive mode. I work hard enough in life and work, I’m not playing the game to work harder.
That being said, unless someone was a Smurf or hacking, I never got super mad at other players for simply being better than me, usually the characters felt pretty balanced and if we lost it was because of bad teamwork or lower skill. All characters were available to everyone, the only monetary value was skins.
Then I played overwatch 2, and immediately there were battle pass characters locked behind paywalls or engagement, and those characters were seriously unbalanced. The game was “free to play” and “pay to win” right off the bat and I haven’t touched it again, even though I put countless hours into the first game. And that sour taste I have now makes it so I refuse to play any game with a battle pass.

Wtf they locked characters behind a paywall? They at least dont do that any more. I played OW2 for the first time last year and everything (playable) was unlocked.

The problem wasn't the gg, it was the two letters before and after...
Come to think about it, I haven't been called that online in a long time.
It took me a minute, but I just realized that your description could actually apply to two completely different slurs.

Yeah I think that change came after a ton of player backlash and people just no longer playing it so they changed the whole battle pass setup

I agree but just to clarify "kys" isn't swearing it's bullying
That's why it's a side note. Tangential but relevant.

I didn't make this particular one, but I usually just bash it out in a minute using Paint.
Like the material or the program?
(This was funnier in my head.)

I will never understand why the hell people tilt so hard for an online game. Aren't free time activities supposed to be fun?
wrote last edited by [email protected]lots of online games are just outright badly designed, like having loads of abilities that literally just freeze you in place so you don't get to play for a few seconds.
i was into overwatch when it was still an actual game and not a storefront, and my god there was sooooo much stuff that was obviously not acceptable for a game of that size and budget. I think the most egregious was roadhog's hook that just didn't care about time and physics, you could be grabbed behind walls and whatnot and of course that resulted in instant death too, because WHY NOT!
then you compare this to something like deep rock galactic, where it's cooperative and "balance" is the player deciding how much of a challenge they want, and the devs specifically added a feature that lets you shout "rock and stone!" to build camraderie. You play that game and it's just.. fun? it's just fun, it's almost never frustrating at all, even if you get your ass kicked you just fucking try again and maybe lower the difficulty because you're not quite good enough to take on that size of horde yet.
And stun abilities? you can have tons of them, because the enemies are NPCs and thus don't care, and the enemies only have a select few stun abilities that can either be actively broken out of or teammates can help you out of them, plus you're given so much warning that getting stunned is very clearly your own fault.

I’ve had voice chat disabled since forever. I will not listen to the tools I play against. Racist and political trolls along with just general assholery. Not worth it. The only time VoIP is worth it these days is of you’re playing with a known group that polices its chat.
i so dearly wish more games were like deep rock galactic, just have a button that lets you ping whatever you're looking at, with special voicelines for important things.
in DRG it's a faux pas to use the voice chat, half the fun of the game is communicating solely through pinging stuff and furious head and body movement.
