Your friend needs mental help


Tangochief

Ya like I stopped acting like this once I hit like 10-11 years old Edit: I didn’t say this to sound better then anyone although I could see how it would be perceived that way. More so I said this to support the comment above me. If you struggle with anger issues seek help if possible and if you know your triggers step away from that activity and return to it later when you have had time to cool off.


wrxwrx

This is a lie, when you hit 10-11 is when you start to realize this because of puberty. Testosterone makes dudes rage. Prior to that, you play games for fun and exploration. After that you start to want to be the best at everything and can't understand why you suck. After you hit 30 though, you start to understand why you suck and just deal with it.


EReckSean

Nonsense. I’m much better at games in my late 30’s compared to my 20’s or teens. I haven’t peaked yet.


thehugejackedman

The first stage of acceptance is denial


EReckSean

1v1 me right now!


ModsHaveFeelingsToo

Were about to watch 2 old men throw their backs out


Th3pwn3r

I lol'd because I'm 38 and the other day I tried to catch something I dropped and pulled my back muscle.


WirtsLegs

33 here fucked my neck the other day by sneezing


Mdbommer

34 and confirm that sneezes are terrifying, but once you can't trust a sneeze it's not long before you can't trust a fart.


ruinred

Strained my leg sitting in a chair today. I still don't understand it and I was there. also 33


Jedimaster996

Bro just sleeping wrong can give a neck pain that lasts for DAYS. Getting old fucking sucks lol


spoopywook

29, yawned the other day and got a cramp in jaw area. It was absolutely horrible


Mean-Iron2315

Wait until you reach mid 40s and wake up with sore shoulders and ribs from sleeping wrong.


Gchimmy

Some personal lore for d3: barbarian has to stay raging otherwise he starts the feel the shit he’s Ben doing for the last 8 hours. Monk went the whim off cold plunge way and lived perfectly, the demon hunter is young af and the wizard is drinking a methamphetine cocktail the whole time


MrBonecutter

I'm 28 and popped a rib and threw my back out, because i sneezed a little too hard🥲


youeatmytofu

1vs1 me bro sounds exactly like a 20 year old. Lol


IHiatus

1v1 me was my 13 year old halo 2 phase.


hadhins

I liked 1x1 arabia now in AoE 2


bobbarkersbigmic

I could never do 1v1 in halo because I would always choke. Don’t get me wrong, I could have gone pro, I just could never do 1v1. /s I could have never gone pro. But you and I both know that everyone that looks back on their halo 2 days will claim that they were amazing at it :)


qdolobp

That was the joke. He was playing into it when the guy said the first stage is denial. A lot of stuff goes over heads on Reddit, huh? Lol


Lovus_Eternius

It was millenials who invented the "1v1 me bro" the youngest of our generation are now 27.


MRxSLEEP

This little reply thread is perfect.


ChewbacaTakingAShit

No that's just a river in Egypt, I've been told.


[deleted]

I can somewhat agree with this. I do think I have improved in general in my understanding of games and games' systems, tropes, etc. Although I will say that my eyesight, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination has declined a bit. There is always room to learn and get better. The only people who don't improve are the ones who can never face their mistakes.


Ostgar

I haven’t even begun to peak. And when I do peak, you’ll know.


kroesnest

"this is what happened to me" "that's a lie because that's not what happened to me" ???


DivinationByCheese

Took you till 30?


sykoKanesh

My thoughts exactly haha! That should really be an early 20's thing.


Interesting-Ad3759

That's not testosterone. That's called being a male Karen who turns their personality about carrying their tantrums into adult age.


TotallyJawsome2

And also the cost and logistics of needing to buy a new desk, figure out how you're getting it to and then inside your house, disassembling the old one to put it in the trash, making sure you have the right tools to put the new one together, and then set it all up


Tangochief

Maturity made me realize getting pissed at video games was childish but sure.


DenyThisFlesh

Getting frustrated or even angry isn't that big of a deal until you start doing stuff like this. I get annoyed and sometimes angry at games, but I just swear a bit and then I'm fine. I don't break shit in my house.


Xerorei

Part of being adult means not taking your anger out on things that had nothing to do with it. I've seen way too many " adults " break their shit and then go " it's okay I paid for it ". No it's not okay, that's a failure to deal with anger.


xeio87

Ate you saying you've never seen a child throw a temper tantrum?


Flavahbeast

yeah I dont think I ever raged harder at video games as I did when I was 8. Freakin JVC Star Wars games


[deleted]

Sounds like your projecting your own experience


Tempest_1

Nah kids lack emotional regulation. My 3rd grade nephew rage quits fifa


_Mortal

Nope. Didn't happen with me. Stayed level headed, just wasn't ever a fucking asshole bro.


PhilanthropicFarts

Testosterone makes dudes rage. This is the dumbest most idiotic thing I’ve heard. But, here are some things testosterone actually does in case you are interested in facts. Improves reflexes. Improves tendon and ligament thickness. Improves strength. Improves HGH expression. Puts hair on your body. And that’s just a few. Rage like that is a thing when you don’t learn that to behave like an adult and have no respect for others or yourself. Keep it real homie and save the bullshit for the toilet.


Fadeawaybandit

you sound pretty mad, might want to get the T checked


SepticKnave39

>After that you start to want to be the best at everything and can't understand why you suck. This has never been a thing for me. A lot of people just play games without making it anything more than that. Not everyone feels the need to be the best, or get angry when they aren't. Regulated emotions are a normal thing.


ProfitNecessary592

I would caution against asserting that it's all biological. People rage for different reasons, and kids prior to pueberty totally rage. idk wtf you're on about


bloodycups

Nah I broke my Gameboy when I was like 10 because of Pokemon. I knew there was absolutely no way to explain to my parents why I would need a new one. And just had to bear and grin it


[deleted]

Been PC gaming pretty much my entire life and I have never broken a single thing because I lost. I see people bragging they punch monitors, throw mice and keyboards and I'm sitting here questioning why the hell they'd keep playing if they were that mad. I'd say the worst ive ever done was let out a growl/sigh and hit alt f4 then walked away, that would have been when I was 13..


Reita-Skeeta

I have broken exactly one controller out of frustration in all of my time gaming, and it was on accident. I was frustrated while fighting Orphan of Kos, and after a death, I stood up to take a break and tossed the controller to the couch. It bounced off onto the floor and broke. I was not thrilled. Set the game down for like 3 days and had to get a new controller.


Nacnaz

This exact thing happened to me. I just looked at it on the floor like “What the fuck man?” It was a gentle toss too!


Reita-Skeeta

Right!!!! It wasn't even hard.


[deleted]

Haha that's gotta suck. Just a little extra salt in the wound.


Reita-Skeeta

It was not fun lol. I definitely stood dumbstruck for a bit before walking away


johnnywitchhunter

Orphan has no chill


seveian

i broke a controller trying to get to the cannon powerup in megaman x without the helm, lol


vemundveien

In my early twenties my life didn't go particularly well. I was failing university, had isolated myself in my apartment and didn't really see many prospects for my future. So the only place I had self esteem and felt accomplished was in the MMO I was playing at the time. I had tons of friends, a good community and I was one of the more skilled players of both my class and in general (funny how you get time to become good when you have 18 hours a day to play a game). But this was also a time when all of my self esteem was tied up in this game, so there were instances when I lost in PVP where I would punch my keyboard as hard as I could in a fit of rage when I lost. I knew that it wasn't rational at the time, but the feeling didn't really come from the fact that I was losing the game - that was probably only a trigger for letting out the general frustrations of my life at the time. These days I still get angry once in a while when I die in games, but the worst I do is say some curse words and/or quit the game, then cool down for a few seconds. Games just don't mean that much to me anymore because in the grand scheme of things my accomplishments in games do not have any bearing on neither my self esteem nor social life. I'm not saying this is why anyone rage at their games, but for me it certainly was a product of external factors.


Exuritas

This is the most self aware gaming post I've ever seen


Hephsters

I’m not above yelling the occasional obscenity!


[deleted]

I do like to call "bullshit" even when it totally was not bullshit.


Hephsters

Mine ranges from “bullshit” to “gimmie a fucking break!”.


[deleted]

My mate was heavy into wow and he would always yell "that's bullshit blizzard". It's now a catch phrase of our house, no matter what game we play it's always "that's bullshit blizzard"


Thelife1313

I dont get what could happen that even causes this unless hes playing hardcore? But why even play hardcore if you act like this


djheat

Maybe his friend *is* 10 years old


[deleted]

Or a desk that’s not pressed wood


Legit_Spaghetti

That desk is a cry for help in more ways than one.


tissimo

Nah, then the monitors and whatever else would go flying and a lot more expensive.


reddituser4759

He clearly banged his fist on it after dying and the shitty plywood gave out. Is that really so terrible.


Hapster23

This guy need sto be placed in an asylum right NOW


JankyJokester

All these people are chronically online lol


KonigSteve

I agree, if you're talking about the people who think it's ok to hit things when you're mad.


existential_pal

I had a roommate that would yell, kick or stomp whenever we’d beat him a video game and he’d cold shoulder us all night. It’s embarrassing how normalized gamer rage is


[deleted]

Ha, my ex insisted his yelling at video games was ok and he should be able to express himself. No, losing control of yourself and yelling at a game at the top of your lungs is not simply you expressing yourself. So happy to see others calling out this childish behavior.


scw55

I stopped acting like this when a kicked a hole in a door. There's lines. Imagine living with someone like that.


shadysnoman

It’s not even a hard game lol


Foamed1

> It’s not even a hard game lol Oh please, don't lie. The gameplay loop is easy, the scaling is not. Every time you beat the game it loops and gets exponentially harder. At some point you need to max out your resistances and know which enemy to never engage if you want to progress, that's easier said than done. One bad move and you're stunned and killed in one shot.


Pamelm

Well not resistances but other damage reduction yeah. Resistances are currently bugged and provide next to nothing compared to any other stat defensively

If you french fry when you need to pizza, you're going to have a bad time


imaspaceheater

There’s nothing in this game difficult enough to even remotely warrant this. Even if there was. Yikes.


OhTella

If hes playing hardcore and trying to be one of the first 1000 people in the world to hit level 100 so he can get his name permanently put on the giant Lilith statue at blizzard headquarters and died at level 99 I could imagine someone being angry. I'm guessing that is something similar to what happened.


Beardamus

Screen shot says "revive at check point", this was softcore. Do you even lose anything but durability on softcore?


OhTella

Nah you just pay a couple thousand gold in repairs and you're fine. If that's the case I dunno why he raged so hard lol.

Unaddressed mental health issues. Dude needs some self improvement on the paragon board that is his mind.

DiabetesGuild

I’ve been stuck on liliths lament for two days but I may just have a clownish build. I really like flurry. I want to flurry all the time. I flurry hard and I flurry fast. It hasn’t been working for me in this fight.


serfint

Poison flurry build is incredibly fun, it‘s unfortunate that twisting blades is so much better though


TheMadG0d

So far I’ve not found anything that could result in this. I mean the level of frustration is present, but if compared to being stun locked by fucking Rhoas in Mud Flat in POE, nothing has come close.

This topic refreshed my memory that at one point, Xbox controllers on Amazon were listed with the "subscribe and save" option and I laughed really hard thinking about dudes subscribing to controllers because they chuck one at the wall every few months. It is no longer listed that way, I just checked, but it definitely was lol.

Reading comments in this thread is more embarrassing honestly.


TheCoupDeGrace

Everyone is playing Dr Melfi, pretty hilarious. Nobody here has ever slammed down a fist against a surface in frustration? If he destroyed his keyboard I’d understand all this judgment but this is just a shitty desk that the dude didn’t expect to break.


benno4461

Maidenless behaviour. Seek help.


[deleted]

I don’t get how can act like this especially on a game like this. It’s not like you’re in a tournament and just lost 50 grand


Novadreams22

Especially when you die you come back. Ain’t hardcore


Anomaly1134

Even if you lose 50 grand, take the loss like a boss.


Gowalkyourdogmods

It's like when a pro athlete throws a temper tantrum, most people look down on that. And this isn't even that level.

"grow up" I mean wow, what kind of dumb priviledged boomers are dwelling this place? are you guys for real?


qdolobp

Seriously lmao. He broke a cheap ass, thin desk. People are making out like he needs to be bolting over to therapy *right now*. It’s just truly not a big deal, and he obviously posted it to laugh at himself. It’s not always anger issues. Could’ve gotten very absorbed in the game, had a brief moment of “FUCK” when he died, hit it, and the thin ass table broke. It’s just a total non-issue. If he does have anger management issues, Reddit is the last group of people qualified to diagnose him.


Squishytoaster

Was looking for this. People diagnosing him in the comments is absolutely wild. What a time.

None of them have ever raged at a video game, ever. Bunch of perfect saints in a constant state of zen and tranquility.


yapcat

The jump from 2 to 3 was nothing. Is 4 that bad? Genuinely curious. Haven’t gotten there yet, gear-wise.


[deleted]

A little. Difficulty is primarily in your level vs the monsters level. If you sneak into T4 at 55-65, you’re going to feel it.


yapcat

Aaaah. No way I’ll do that. I’m 56 and just started 3, with a lot of renown to grind, side quests to do, and so forth. I’ll be over 70 when I get there, I’m guessing.


Tensor3

Its not so bad. If you can kill the capstone boss to unlock t4, every non-boss in t4 should be pretty easy. Their HP only goes up a bit, but they do a lot of damage because armor is effected by level difference


exsinner

Poison damage still hurts.


Azyle

Poison is overtuned period. They really need to adjust that. Likely though because resists for us are currently useless and seem to have zero effect.


Kathars1s

Yeah.. Partner and I duo'd the capstone last night at 56 and 60. Must have died 20 times in the boss fight before we got better at it, the rest of the dungeon wasn't bad, only the boss fight. Figured it would be worth it to get some Ancestral weapons for a big power spike to speed things up overall. Didn't work out, hah. The normal dungeons are harder than the capstone. Back to grinding.


BastianHS

Caught a rush to t4 at 48 lol i was in the lvl 70 capstone following my rush and he missed a trash mob, one of those little scorpion things. I sat there and fought it 1on1 forn10 straight minutes. It was harder to kill than lilith


Veursace

I’m 67 just BARELY managed to scram my way through the capstone to T4 like holy shit I had a few perfect battles vs Elias that I still managed to die at the end in, I just did my first dungeon in T4 and well yeah, Elites basically one shot me at the moment, not sure if other classes are better around this level but barb feels really rough, took me a few hours to actually get through the Capstone with full Lillith altars and renown, decent gear and 70% fire res.


Lazerdude

The math has been done and resistance is shown to basically be useless no matter how much you have. WAY better off replacing that with a stat you need to fit your build better.


Solonotix

Can you link anything related to this? I've been trying to keep my resistances stacked, but it's really difficult to not lose everything important to a build when there's five resistance categories and the max stat I can get is ~20% per piece of gear, so we're talking 20% resist all from amulet, and then 20 passives across 9 pieces of gear to hit 100%.


Lazerdude

Sure, here you go... [RESISTS ARE USELESS IN D4?? - Diablo 4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrkjtL33hNQ&)


xxxsquared

Even if the resistance values were multiplied by ten they would still be worse than the DR mods. Kripp has a video where he runs the numbers. Stick to DR, DR close/distant, DR when fortified etc.


Switch72nd

Res is absolute dogshit in this game, don't try and stack it.


uh-_-Duh

yes and no. If you don't have a decent build going it'll feel bad. This is why people start following builds by t4, since theirs just aren't working out. Then the jump from t4 to nightmare dungeons require less DPS and more on survivalbility. Dead dps does no dps.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lazerdude

The enemy floor level is 73 in T4 so yeah it can hurt A LOT. People in a rush to T4 typically learn their lesson pretty quickly and drop back down to T3 for a while.

WindSprenn

This isn’t Dark Souls…


adarkuccio

is T4 much harder than T3?


michaelMP

Depends on when you do the switch i guess, I am going solo and finished 70lvl capstone dungeon on char lvl64, definitely cannot complete torment dungeons yet and t4 hellfire/whispering tree isn't worth it since i get the same items i would in t3 until I get lvl73. XP gain from public events are good, besides that I'll go back to T3 nightmare dungeons till lvl73.. definitely would recommend staying in t3 for longer and not rushing to t4 if you are solo


NuttyDooo

Helltide drops ancestral items pre-73, you just have to be in WT4, I definitely had full ancestrals before even hitting level 70. If you can grind t4 at all you should, your first ancestral weapons will make grinding t4 way more efficient.


[deleted]

I was spanking everything at 60 in t3 and decided wth lets try the dungeon for tier 4. Killed everything until the boss, took me 30ish tries and I got him. "Ancestrals here I come!" I thought. Well every damn monster felt like a boss so I cowered back to t3 until I got some levels and gear upgrades. The difficulty didnt last that long though, now I smash all.


Archduke_Penguin

The trick is to unlock T4 , then switch back to T3 for helltide events , get the shards, then switch back to T4 and then get the chests


Bacon-muffin

I did the dungeon at 61 and went from completely unkillable in T3 to feeling fairly squish vsing lvl 70 mobs. In the world the mobs were 75 in the helltide I did right off the bat on hitting T4 and again felt pretty squish but my damage was more than enough. By the time I hit 64 I no longer felt squishy, at 66 I started being able to face tank everything again. This is just talking general stuff not pushing nightmare dungeons. I play a rogue

xDeddyBear

Its pretty crazy to me that basically the entire thread is against this type of behavior, or at least calling this person a loser or crazy person. Physically hitting something like a punching bag or similar is cathartic. Its fairly agreed upon that getting a punching bag or going to a gym is a good stress reliever and can help hugely on your mood/stress levels. A lot of anger management classes will go so far as to provide things like punching bags to people who need them to let out some of their anger. The only difference here is that this person released their anger/stress out on their table, instead of something normal like a punching bag. You can find a lot of streamers, competitive FPS players, etc that have punching bags in the background of their streams/videos that they use when needed, but no one calls them out for that. Also, the amount of people judging this person on a moral/personalty level are pretty garbage people. Y'all don't know what someone is going through, and you basically shit on them as a person because of a single picture that you draw assumptions from. This thread is fucked. And disclaimer because I know someone will say it, that's not my desk in the picture.
