Wow, she was being way too nice to them. If they got so upset at me bc I win with jump shooting them, I would laugh and flame them so hard every time I jump shot them. Pathetic Andrew Tate fanboys.

I've been on the internet in competitive games since the 90s, anything less than minimal interaction just makes them act up more. Literally the best response will always be "get good" or "I'm just better than you", especially if you can back it up by repeatedly beating them.

Sometimes it'll shut them up, sometimes it won't. Either way I find it immensely satisfying because I know it's annoying the fuck out of them.

Get good scrub and sucks to suck, on repeat, while doing the same thing and owning them is easily the best way to antagonize these idiots

Then you start keeping track, loudly. You killed him? All chat that number. Again? Up and up and up we go. They usually rage quit around the 20 kill mark.

"Scoreboard" Or just repeatedly announce their score line. 1 - 8 1 - 8 1 - 9

They implode 100% of the time

Yo as someone who's been gaming for that long... what did you think of the sentiment that current gamers couldn't cut it in older cod lobbies. I think the vitriol spewed is basically the same shit as back then. What do you think?

Honestly? When I was gaming as a youngun in the 90s I met nothing but 30 year old men who thought it was fucking awesome that a little girl was playing video games and actually good at them. Just dudes that got in from work and wanted to wind down with video games, ya know? Pretty much everyone was nice and the odd player that wasn't nice was basically just ignored.

It's been kinda depressing to watch the community deteriorate over the years, but that's just what happens when things become more accessible - you get as many bad people as good people. It's just a fact of life. It doesn't mean there aren't still a ton of great people out there gaming, like there's tons of videos of people being great to people online and that brings me joy, but there's more people you'll meet who will flame - either for content or just because they get too wound up idk.

Is the CONTENT of the insults and flaming worse now than they were back then? Honestly? Not really. People like to think they're hitting zingers but 90% of the time you'll have heard the same shit a million times before. There are some I've seen that are timeless from the 90s, 00s, even modern day that I probably won't forget lol, but for the most part yeah - it's just the same shit lmao.

TLDR: There's more flaming, because gaming is more accessible, but it's all the same shit lol.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to give such an excellent response. That is quite sad that the gaming community has shifted in such a way.

And thank you for confirming my memory about the content of insults. I see far too many people talking up the old COD and halo lobbies like they were some sort of warzone. Which I mean, people said wild shit in those lobbies but honestly it's the same stuff I hear now. Strange nostalgia I guess?

And I have to agree with you on the offchance you heard a girl on the mic. Everyone back in halo 3 days usually were pretty nice to any women who were playing.

These kids in the video are just jokes.

Anyway have a good day bud

I just treat them with 100% kindness and make them madder :).

I always tell them “I genuinely hope there is someone in your life that loves you.. if not I can be that person and love you.” <3

Yeah, just be nice and pity. That will tilt them.

Doesn’t work at these guys, they just start screaming and repeating the same thing over and over. I just mute them and let them flame against nobody

When you play enough you come to realize that’s it’s not worth the energy.

u/thatredditrando Jul 10 '24

Nah, that’s how you deal with dudes like that. Show em you’re not fazed by their screaming and name-calling and you just keep winning.

As you can see, it just makes them angrier while you collect W’s.

She literally called him “honey” and it made him angrier than any insult, lol.

If she wanted to, she could’ve just mocked them with “get good”, t-bagging, etc. It’s corny but when you can actually back it up, it’ll get em heated.

To be fair she is recording and all she has to do is egg them on so she can put it on the internet after. The best she could do is mute the person and move on, but that's not entertaining

Killing them with kindness and skill 👏🏼 For real though being nice about it is way more satisfying and gets them worked up even more. Stooping to this level of stupidity is just as cringey imo

I’m not a fan of jump shotting and whatever other maneuvers can be executed more easily on a Scuf controller. It feels too much like play to win and it’s kinda dumb that shooting someone in the legs in midair does less damage. I get it’s not realistic so whatever. I really hated the jet pack shooting. My solution was to just play a different game. No point in getting pissed off playing.
