    Pretty solid. Explains why i stopped liking online-games which i was so damn passionate about 20yrs ago.

    Beside being unable to compete with the youngsters 😁

      I remember playing TacOps back in the day. Some Sundays were literally just me team speaking with the guys (and some girls) while sipping a beer and casually playing our doing team practice. I learned a lot about the different international cultures before I set my own feet out of the country.

      For me other than the lack of time it’s the toxicity, if you have say one hour to play, do you really want to listen to some no-life cunt who has been playing all day screaming at you because they are tilted as fuck and need to blame everyone else but themselves? Well I certainly don’t need that shit in my life.

        Honestly there second someone starts talking during a game I just go and mute them. 99.9% of the time it’s really annoying. Once in a while you get someone who actually knows what they’re doing and talking about, isn’t a dick, and actually gives good advice or help. But that happens so rarely it’s not worth it

          Adding a bit of an anecdote, I’m not good at games but when someone (be it friend or foe) is leagues worse than me I give them advice

          For example I’ve been getting back into planetside and this level 7 was trying to kill me as an infantry unit with a rocket launcher (anti tank weapon, can’t one shot infantry) so even with my crappy aim I dispatch him without so much as a nick to my shields. So I send him a direct message that the rocket launcher is for tanks and he should use his LMG for infantry battle

          Basically help your newbies

        I don’t listen to any cunts in online games, voice chat is off. For some reason the kids these days think you can’t play a game without a headset and mic on. I don’t even own one of those dumbass headsets. I can still be competitive in FPS games without any of that too.
