>>748903265This dude uses GNOME
I've started to harass online people by ironically being kind, trying to understand others, showering them with praise, and sometimes even listening to the perspective of others.No one will ever figure out they have been trolled hard, I'm such a devilish bastard.
>>748903601Based
>>748903218>im going to kill you with chainsaw in a game where you can kill people with chainsaw>banned
>>748903601For me it's committing economic terrorism by not buying these games and hording my money.
>bullets flying everywhere>planetary devastation by a hostile species threatens mankind to the brink>gore all over the place>don’t you dare appear to target our heckin’ valid buttbuddies in-game, chuddie
>>748903601I've ironically stopped playing AAA vidya and spending all that extra time on reading and exercisingProblem?
we need to treat the locust horde with respect
>>748903964Yeah you're still on /v/
>>748903218Can we please make it a law that HR cannot participate in game development?
>>748903986erm the locust are natives of the planet, chuddieStop repressing them!
>>748904503And on that note, can we make it so that HR is illegal entirely?
friendship is more meaningful when everyone is unfriendly by defaultenforcing soft words just makes everything matter less
>>748903218Queers of War
>>748904932thing is they could've pulled off the female soldiers if they put the tiniest amount of effort into it. Halo got the majority of the marine aesthetic from the movie AliensYou need high energy leaders that know when it's appropriate to tighten up and when to let loose. The scene with these bitches is some of the most embarrassing shit I've ever seen in faux-military vidya. Whiny, tired, complaining... these are the people that the privates are supposed to look up to? No wonder they got their teeth kicked in.
>>748904851Nobody wants to befriend a racist bigot.
>>748903601I actually do sometimes talk like a kindergarten teacher as if the person I am speaking to is a literal retard and it goes over their head almost every time.
>>748903218>Those who want respect - give respect.
>TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT
>>748903601This but I also use the most insufferable anti-fun tactics possible to ruin the game experience for both allies and enemies.
>>748905137>insert multiracial friend group of extremely racist men
>>748905679those are ironic racists though, they do it for contrarianism and le funny memes
>>748906015antisemitism is no joke
>>748905359Those were just healing and friendship bullets, you see.
women grow up w/ such incredible social privilege that the idea of two men calling eachother fags in a friendly way makes their fucking heads explodeand because it's something that males do without female inclusion they have to destroy it
It's so hilarious watching people sperg out about this
>>748903601quite literally what redditors do since they're so buck broken by downvotes and censorship that they're forced to be passive aggressive constantly
>>748903821Insidious bastard
>>748903218>User Cunny_Groyper_67 has been banned for using the F-slur before chainsawing user PANSEXUALL0VE in half.
>>748906345zoomer slang is literally self-censorship to avoid pissing off corporations controlling online communication. kinda fucked if you ask me. it's not their fault though, that's the only world they've ever known
>>748903821That's incredibly antisemitic.
>>748904932>A literal tranny made this gameAHahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 8nwill never touch this shit. Imagine supporting this slop
>>748906546You know what they say. It’s easier to turn autistic men into women than it is to turn women into programmers.
>>748906274That's gay
>>748904932Everything else about E day looks perfect but those character designs anon posted made me drop it desuWild stuff
>>748906345make sure you tell everyone how badly you trolled the chuds when the game flops and everyone on the dev team is firedinb4 "hah you're so mad"My blood pressure is at resting rate. I'm not gonna buy this and I'll forget about this turd within a week when the next slop comes out the door.
>>748907154
>>748907331And how do these things help against the locust horde? Does looking at them make locusts kill themselves?
>>748903218Nothing burger, niggers act as if people nowadays still talked in online chats
>>748907538It helps the locust find the most autistic and retarded soldiers first
>>748903218Codes of conduct are nothing new in games, Xbox Live had its own since the 360 days, fucking Epstein was banned for talking shit in MW2 lobbies
>>748907331Didn't online games stop doing this because players would focus people who used these flags?
>>748905359>>748906238i dont understand why you keep posting this crap (it has to be one guy, i refuse to believe theres more than one person this stupid)the locust, the enemy of the game, shoot up a poster and that hurts your feelings? the same locust that blockaded the entrance to the subway using the corpses of the civilians they killed, but this is where you draw the line?
>>748908556Do you actually have brain damage
>>748903218Take a step back and realize that a message saying >"Please be nice to others." somehow causes a negative emotional response in you.What went wrong in your life?
>>748908650Nah it's more like being condescended to by an HR team when you're in your own home trying to play Gears of WarWouldn't have happened in 2007
>>748908858Have you tried not being a jerk online?
>>748908621do you? the locust, the enemy, shoot up a poster, why are you upset about this? not only is it in-character for them, its nowhere near the worst thing they do in-game
>>748908858It's just plain text, you are the one inventing that subtext to upset yourselfReflect upon why your brain does that
>>748908858considering the negative reputation xbox live got back in the day, i dont blame em
>>748908650>please be nice to othersOdd how that’s not really a plea, so much as a threat.
>>748908650If you haven't figured it out yet, this website is full of narcissists.
>>748909371Do you feel threatened by that block of text?>>748909446Never thought I'd miss old /v/, at least the unhinged people back then were fully honest with themselves about being awful people.
>everyone deserves to play without fear of harassment or abuseNO THEY FUCKING DONTYOU DO NOT HAVE THE NIGGER FAGGOT FUCKING RIGHT TO SAY OTHERWISE YOU FUCKING FAGGOTSGAMING SHOULD ONLY BE A FREE FOR ALL WHERE PEOPLE ARE CALLING EACH OTHER THE MOST VILE SHIT IMAGINABLE WHILE SPRAYING GAY FURRY PORN, GURO AND MEMES ON THE WALLS AND DRAWING PICTURES OF DICKS ALL OVER WITH GUNFIRECORPORATIONS AND NORMALFAGS GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FUCKING VIDEOGAMES REEEE
>>748910118Gaming isn't for your kind anymore.
>>748910118Relax anon, it's just a video game.
>>748909949/v/ has been going through narcissistic collapse since Gamergate at least, and we're at stage five now: the psychopathic point of no return.
>>748903218literally, but not at what you might thinkwe need to be better at coming up with new and fresh ways to bully and make derogatory comments so we stay ahead of the curveits a battle of wits against a system of retards
>>748909362You mean when things were fun and Xbox was on top?
>>748910392If you're willing to put that much effort into being an asshole, why won't you put that much effort into being nice?
>>748909949It’s what happens when you won’t “be nice” that matters, stop pretending not to know this.
>>748910118Exactly. No one should be a protected group in the vortex of shit, all is fair game there.
>>748903218Just don't be a stupid niggerfaggot
>>748911474Which is precisely why disgusting chud filth does not have the right to whine and bitch when they aren't allowed to be abusive. What makes you think you have immunity?
>>748910526because I'm already doing that IRL due to the dire consequences it has to behave like that
>>748911578No one has immunity; the issue is that you believe forced selective exclusion is acceptable. Get in the whirlpool and be eaten by it, or don’t get in at all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccWrbGEFgI8game studios have gone mad.
>>748903601umm trans...
>>748911909Exactly, no one has immunity, including yourself, so shut the fuck up and fuck off.
>>748912076No.
>>748912508See? A hypocrite.
>>748911116Why aren't you nice?
>>748910118uh oh chuddie melty
>>748912729I’m just not. And?
>>748913456A pointless reticence to adapt to society will just see your quality of life rapidly diminishing.
are right wingers basically just low IQ white niggers?the "discourse" you see from right wing gamers is literally pic related
>>748910498something tells me the slur filled xbox live lobbies werent the main reason why the console sold so much
>>748913867more or less, i suppose that after SJWs, some right wings thought similar levels of stupidity were acceptableby this logic, prepare for an SJW comeback in a few years
>”behave exactly as I say or I will see to your exile myself!”>all-the-while needing daddy game admins to save you from anything you can’t handle readingStellar and compelling intellectual argument.
>>748903218>NOOOOOOOO YOU CANT BEHAVE LIKE A HUMAN BEING BECAUSE....WELL JUST BECAUSE OK??????
>>748903218I kinda agree with this though..
>>748914758>NOOOOOO YOU *HAVE* TO PUT UP WITH ME BEING UNPLEASANT AND ACTIVELY HATING YOU IT'S MY BIRTHRIGHT ACCEPT ME ACCEPT MY HATRED LET ME BEEEEEEEEE
>>748915042>only MY approved(TM) non-hateful opinions are heckin’ valid!>>look inside>DIE CHUD DIE CHUD DIE CHUD DIE
>>748915042the incredibly unpleasant and actively hating hatred of writing "gg" at the end of a gameyup, that deserves a lifetime ban
>>748915205can you post a single screenshot of this happening in the new Gears game?>>748915301you aren't legitimately worried about getting banned for simply saying "gg", try for some honesty
>>748909347>second line starts with "We do not tolerate">anon you're the one inventing the subtext about condescending HR homework nerdsPlease.
>>748915782Are you genuinely peeved that you can't bully, threaten, hate on or harass people?
>>748903218Does this mean I can finally play online without someone telling me that I suck ass at the game over the microphone or text chat?
>>748907331They call gays "brosexuals" now?
>>748915508having any interaction can get you banned on online games nowadays because they all ban you based on the number of reports>npc tier comms>hackers>that one schizo in his 20th account calling everyone niggers because he knows he can just make another accountthats itpeople like >>748915953 killed social interaction in videogames completely. theres genuinely zero reason to play online games nowadays unless you have heavy stockholm syndrome
>>748903218>NO FATTIES, NO TRANNIES, NO WEIRDOS
>>748916139>it's pointless if I can't be mean to others sort your shit out dude you're aren't 12 anymore
>>748916420>BE NICE TO ME, WAAAAAAAAAAAAH>BAN ANYONE THAT ISN’T NICE TO ME RIGHT NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!You shouldn’t be arguing about maturity.
>>748916420having bad interactions is often how you make friends. i know leftards like you don't understand what friends are since you just see other people as trampolines for you to jump on when you figure out they said the n-word 60 years ago, but most people aren't that sociopathic, atleast not on their own.
>>748916741>noooo you have to let me bully, threaten, hate and harass people >why don't you put up with me???wow you're actually underage >>748916814that's a weird projection to have ready on deck buddy I hope you can heal from the trauma and surely if you have so many friends you can all jump on a discord call and be mean to each other to bond further
>>748917310i'm sorry your uncle raped you while calling you a faggot so now you shake everytime you hear someone say "faggot" and then call all your discord kittens to report him, hopefully someday you will finally have the courage to kill yourself
>>748913867>are right wingers basically just low IQYes. Their brains are literally wired so they're always in fight or flight mode.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3092984/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306452225003045https://www.uva.nl/shared-content/uva/en/news/press-releases/2024/09/study-among-dutch-people-adds-nuance-to-link-between-brain-structure-and-ideology.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and_political_orientation
>>748917454how come your synapses connect "uncle" with "rape"? I hope you can get over the trauma one day and live a good life
>>748917310>>why don’t you put up with me???I do believe I’ve been more than cordial with you, I haven’t even once dipped into the bag of no-no words to “discuss” this riveting subject with you. Wouldn’t exactly consider that bullying, but you probably disagree based on some nebulous reasoning.
>>748916040You can since like a decade, faggots here are acting like matchmaking nowadays isn't pure silence, everyone is in either their own party chat or in discord, game chat is beyond dead. Not surprised that niggers here are acting like a run-of-the-mill code of conduct is some anti-consumer shit as if it has not been the standard for two decades in every game, since some still yearn for the days when they could spam NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER in TF2 servers and are butthurt they can't. No surprised since the board legitimately argues that:>Say word>Money stolen
>>748906391HHAHAHAHHAAAAAHAHAHAHAidk why but this made me laughit's true
>>748903601The madman, the absolute madman!
>>748918136Perhaps it’s the steady incline of overbearing rules that nuked game chats, maybe, possibly.
>>748918136to be fair it was a decent rite of passage joining a /v/ lobby back in the day and being hit with the realization that people here are actually deeply mentally ill
>>748906391>they're forced to be passive aggressive constantlyholy shitthat's the best way I've seen the general reddit disposition described before. they all sound like they are politely talking down to each other.
>>748918835I've been here for like 16 years and I've not once joined one because I don't trust you fags (love you all though).
>>748918136>Play game with friends>Open public chat for a bit>"NIGGER NIGGER NIG-">"STOP BEING A FAGGOT NOOB AND GO TO POIN-">*Audio of people arguing with each other or trolling*
>>748919256that sounds horrible. the voice chat must be completely silent until someone says some random comm after 20 minutes and then silence again. i'm trans and this makes me feel safe. i also made this post >>748918136 btw.
What the locust queen did before E-day was her business
>>748919350I'm simply stating as to why no one chats in public servers anymore. Your little strawman is a good attempt at disarming my argument and reinforcement as to why public comms are dead in the modern online gaming era though so good job, I'm sure the average transsexual really would state than on /v/ of all places.
>>748918806It was the moment Party Chat in Xbox Live was invented, the quality was way better than the in-game audio and you could actually hold a conversation without involving randoms. People are just way more conformtable talking with their own in private and the in-game chat having the reputation of everyone just saying shit, stupid kids crying, for idiots with the open mic with a giant fan/dog barking/family arguing, made most not want to bother with that once they could create their own little rooms. Maybe there's an argument to be made about the messages to other players but game chat had too many reasons for it to die down.>>748919350Lol dumb nigger
>>748919647There's a certain satisfaction in knowing people like that anon are in constant deep agony over the fact that the world evolved to shut him out of public spaces
When someone loses their temper and insults me in game I actively compliment them for it and encourage their creativity with insulting me because I also want them to have fun and let loose. Nobody should walk on egg shells online, everyone should be having fun, and that means not having to hold your tongue because faggy zoomers decided that being mad = you lose.
>>748920008sounds submissive bro
I just evolved with the times. Ive learned to use therapy/woman speech to provoke people into saying no-no words without violating rules myself. Then I report them and collect the "We're taking action" messages like murder trophies. I'm unironically far more dangerous to other player's accounts and a much bigger nuisance than I ever was when I could just call them the nigger word and go on about my day.
>I just evolved into a huge faggotGee, could've fooled me
>>748920265>I developed sociopathy actuallyWeird flex.
>>748920398>>748920402Kek, it's easy bro, just don't say anything bad and your money wont be stolen. Isnt this what you wanted?
>>748919647>>748919861>literally ruins every online game with dogshit rules>everyone moves to discord because of it>well acthually its because *walls of text about how i'm not responsible*is it genetic? must be
>>748920585You're rejoicing in manipulating people. This ends real bad for you, trust me.
>>748920606Nah, I lived through it you nigger baboon, normalfag friend groups just prefer their own bubbles than deal with online spaz
>>748920880Not that anon but I enjoy manipulating people into feeling better about themselves. Is that bad?
>>748920967'fraid so.
>>748903821i actually think that modern gaming revolves around watching/v/ and grifter youtubers complain about games that just come and go - look at Wolvertine - it was so fun between like, 15 September and like a few days ago - we had just so much fun with all the video essays mocking the game and all the Steam Charts. Pure kino of a game. Now that its over, I will never again see anyone mentioning it as the new favourite of the month is coming up - and it will be a blast - just imagine the first videos of gameplay and how much it sucks; imagine all the woke scenes.... oh man, i tell you - 8/10 kino incoming. My only fear is that sooner or later the kino will end - Sony seems to be able to output kino for the time being, but all other kino makers are already bankrupt - Sony too will go down in a few years. With the EU kids act we will be left with just real games you can torrent from like 15 years ago, which are good games to play, but not controversial - the kino will be lost.
>>748921317Why? I dont do anything bad to them or try to get anything from them. I just enjoy telling people what they want to hear so they feel better.
>>748904932he could have changed the family name too - he had to go full grift, not just change half of it. Half-assed job.
>>748921373By your own admission it's manipulation.
>>748921516Yeah but when other people do it they do it to make people feel bad or make them do something for them or give them something. I don't do it for any of those reasons.
>>748921595There's no but. You are admitting to enjoying manipulation. Your case is worse because you feel self-righteous about it.
>>748920880Elaborate without sounding like someone that's upset that another person is using the rules of a system you support in a way you dont like
>>748920880>You're rejoicing in manipulating people.Literally stage five of narcissistic collapse.https://vibhahealingcentre.com/blogs/the-five-phases-of-a-narcissists-psychological-collapse/>Phase 5: Psychopathic Point of No Return>Not all narcissists reach this stage but those who do become dangerous in a different way.>Nothing matters to them anymore except:>Power>Image>Control>They may not commit physical harm, but they become fully psychologically predatory.>They can:>Mimic emotions with chilling precision>Destroy reputations without remorse>Use people purely for benefit>Feel gratification from others’ pain>Their emotional collapse is complete.>They are no longer manipulating for validation…>They’re manipulating for sport.
how did the empty platitude of 'be better' become such a meme?it's one of the more mild annoyances in modern soapbox writing.
>we must be better gear while we kill and dismember and explode your opponents into a mist of blood
>>748908556>the locust, the enemy of the gameThe dev put that there, not some alien. Do you realize the game is fiction, right?
>>748922292Chilling how many people on /vg/ I can think of when reading this
>>748922735What's more chilling is realizing that we live in a society (bottom text) that actively encourages and rewards narcissism. If you don't believe me, you haven't been paying attention to politics for at least a decade.
>>748922419people gloating about how good they are and how everyone should be like them are often horrible people
>>748922292reads like every xitter user
>>748923270>Oh shit, I've been found out, deflection mode activate.
>>748903218>Unless they're conservative, in which case they're nazis somehow and anything goes.
>>748903218Can I vote to throw out women from my matches?If no, I ain't playing that gayme
>>748903601Positively Machiavellian
>>748923208self improvement is not really a bad idea until it is frames improving as following [political talking point here] instead of self reflection and analysis.in that sense 'be better' may be insincere but not really wrong compared to some other shit that goes out there.just seems funny that it itself became shorthand for it all when it is relatively innocuous in a vacuum.
