No. It's not mature. If you play it like a sport, then being a gentleman is very important for your fun and growth both.
Oh. No. I don't curse. But I understand the anger a frustration

This is easily the bougiest comment I've read in a while. What world might they live in, where more people play IRL sports than more expensive online games?
I can play a lot of my games on a computer that cost me less than $100, plus peripherals. Gaming is cheap nowadays as long as you're not gunning for the newest crap, and it lasts a long while. Meanwhile, playing basketball regularly requires you either have reliable access to a car (I don't) or live in an area where there's a publically available basketball court, AND enough people to play. Yeah, you could set up hoops in the street or something, but literal cars run through there. And people need to back out of their driveway. If you can't do it in your neighborhood, then you have to spend time that a lot of low-income folks don't have traveling to and from somewhere that does have the requisite things. Not impossible, but not at as convenient as an old business laptop from 2017 off Ebay with Steam on it.

Did I say raise my voice? That's how you'd react. Not I'm saying when people show up not ready ro play Damn right I'm going to let them know that's inappropriate.
Ya don't get banned for saying "hey, I think you should try to prepare better."

By the way, what kind of editors do you use to create these memes? I don’t want to trust online editors or anything corporate. I hope you understand.

I will never understand why the hell people tilt so hard for an online game. Aren't free time activities supposed to be fun?

That and it's easier to make genuine connections with regulars. Nowadays for that you have to go out of your way to join a community discord or similar because nearly all multiplayer games are built to play with your existing friends.
i miss the days of shit talking in COD lobbies for hours. so funny hearing people cry about my perfect grenade throws ruining their killstreaks

Classic pre-game lobbies

Just play EA games. You can say anything.
Fuck EA.
Blizzard game chat is horrid lol

One thing I don’t understand is why the built in tools for self managing are insufficient, such as mute and block. If willing, I would be open to hearing your experience with that.
These tools have improved immensely over the years. It was particularly bad in those days because there was no option for private or party voice chat and a lot of games came with 3-day trial cards for Xbox Live which allowed people to make tons of sock puppet accounts to evade blocking.
I don't really play FPS's any more and I haven't turned on an Xbox in about 7 years. I just play on PC now, almost exclusively with a gaming community on discord comprised of online and IRL friends. My experience is very curated now and the games I play either have minimal social interaction or are well known for their welcoming communities (eg Warframe). It felt a little bit like admitting defeat, but shutting off the public mic and just sticking to private VCs and servers has been a good way of dealing with it. I certainly don't get rape and death threats with a side of doxxing these days.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with me! I'm sorry those things happened to you and that it had an effect on the way you play in the end.

Oh, it's better to read the user agreement, there are such horrors there... Access to your PC at any time when you are connected to the network without problems...

Unpopular opinion but games with community-driven multiplier (i.e. people hosting their own servers) is infinitely better than matchmaking multiplayer running on the dev/publisher's servers if only for the sole reason that players have a choice of what kinds of communities they want to build and what things other players should be allowed to do instead of being forced into a sterilized commercial monoculture. I should be able to say "KYS KYS" in game if the people I'm playing with are okay with it.
So unpopular...

So, what you won't raise your voice and just calmly ask them to kill themselves? What?
Nah but calmly muting them and playing better is your own option. Listen you don't want try hard DONT PLAY RANKED. That's like me going to a burger shop and getting mad that they freak out when you ask for a salad.
-
Okay you show up to a Sunday league amateur soccer match. You scream KYS to the ref, they red card you. Why you surprised?
Why isn't the ref stopping the guy in high heels and a thong?

I so miss þe playful abuse between strangers in game via voice. Nostalgia for a certain time this world may never feel again, expressed on a platform that is so anti casual-confrontation most won't understand or enjoy that time.
Only thing I dont miss is being called the n word. Odk that's the go to for suburban kids.

Didn't know that the offended wine moms of America got linked this post, sad that as an adult you can't control your feelings when someone makes jokes on a video game

Paint.NET (note: not their URL sadly) is simple and will get the job done for 99% of your meme needs. I find Krita and alternatives are harder to use for simple edits because they're designed for more complex tasks.

I never will buy an online game for 60 bucks.
