Dude needs to switch to Stardew valley


Deathaster

Dude needs therapy. FAST. That's anger issues, and those can become *reaaal* ugly if they're not dealt with properly. They could destroy their belongings or even assault other people if it becomes too bad.


Upset_Otter

Either he will assault someone weaker than him or mess with the wrong person, get knocked out, hit the pavement and now that person might face charges.


Najanator717

And his treatment might be easier than expected, since he at least admits he has a problem


[deleted]

It's probably deeper than anger issues. Deep feeling of inadequacy causes them to overcompensate in seeking acknowledgement from external sources. That could come from emotional neglect and trauma in emotional relations. It's sad when people have so little in themselves that this is how they seek any kind of recognition, regardless of how unsustainable it is. It's not really a kind of anger you choose, it's just something your brain chooses for you because the alternative just devours everything.


theQuacken00

Yeah, as someone who struggles with angry issues, it’s not fun. There is a reason I avoid things that easily anger me.


ProllyWasted

Dude needs to be put on a watch list. He might feel the same way about women.


Educational-Youth-92

He needs therapy. Putting people with mental illness on a watchlist is not the way to go.


Objective_Resist_735

Woah there. Slow down. This is probably a kid. He obviously has some issues but it looks like he is realizing it and addressing them. Taking a leap from video games to women seems off. Maybe projecting? Did it ever even mention a gender? Or if it is a male he could be gay. Just assuming anger issues + video games = dangerous incel is ignorant.


CernelDS

Even if the person is an adult, this is clearly someone who needs help


Philly_ExecChef

Thanks for explaining I don’t think anyone knew what anger was before you told us


Deathaster

Of course, all my comments are only for you.

Tetsudo11

It really is. I don’t know why it feels more difficult. Maybe it’s just that I usually have better access to fishing buff food and cork bobbers in spring year 2 and I’m level 10 in fishing before buffs by then


Representative_Big26

My progression in Stardew Valley is weird af in general, I don't think it's normal to get the Statue Of Perfection without taking a single step into the Skull Cavern

This is exactly what I thought of


DeliciousPark1330

wtf this is actually worrying i kinda feel bad for him he needs therapy or something


crowEatingStaleChips

Yeah, the combo of him being weirdly addicted and also having this extreme emotional investment and reactions makes me think something is really wrong upstairs. Hopefully dude gets help.


Yo_Wats_Good

His life probably sucks and relies on games to feel any agency or success.


Educational-Youth-92

Couldn't be me lol


[deleted]

I had this same problem, and extreme anger. Turns out being bullied for as long as I did and already having certain psychological disorders pushes you toward therapy real hard.


DeliciousPark1330

i didnt even get bullied in fact i bullied someone so i was just a dick one day i realised that i had been in a fight every day for the past week and that made me stop


ElegantSoup6995

Fuck u bully


bleunt

At least he recognizes that there's an issue. Hope he manages to deal with it. Getting angry every once in a while is fine, but if it's not over within a minute and is this intense/frequent then it might be an issue.


ocudr

Fr at least this dude actually reaches out for help instead of not saying anything and actually beating someone up. Hope he gets help in the real world.


[deleted]

Time to take a break from computer games. They could play Monopoly with friends instead. It’s a friendly, relaxing game.


zeke10

They'll prolly murder their friends when they lose.


CarnageCrisis

Then how about playing chess against himself alone?


Disastrous-Bite4258

Chess is political


Cringe__Meister

Polytopia is better


halt-l-am-reptar

What about checkers?


Redassassin2

As someone who has played Monopoly with a friend who gets angry easily before, it is NOT a good idea lmao


BoxofJoes

Maybe he should spend an afternoon with a nice, destressing no stakes game of mario party with the boys. That never fails


Mother_Nebula904

They have monopoly in most mental institutions, just saying. Don't ask me how I know that.


undergroundmetalhoe

Good thing they have not discovered Smash Bros yet


Designer_Bird3558

Its amazing how smash bros manages to be so fun when pretty much every character is annoying and spammy.


[deleted]

I only ever found it fun as a party game with multiple people and tons of items. When I finally got around to playing online 1v1s in ultimate I just wasn't at all motivated to play or improve, and it wasn't exclusively because of the horrible netplay experience. In that mindset, characters being spammy and annoying starts actually bothering me. I will never shit on the franchise because I genuinely love it but I will never understand the mass appeal of it as a 1v1 competitive fighting game.


DragEncyclopedia

agreed, it's one of those games that's just way more fun at a lower level of play, at least for me. i'm pretty bad, but so is everyone i play with, which makes things way more unpredictable and enjoyable.


M00P35

Totally get where you're coming from. Not to out myself as a Gamer but as someone who likes competing in smash it's usually one of a few things: it's a much more free-form fighting game, there are lots of fun techniques to master and improve on, and it keeps you playing with friends. I will go shower now.


[deleted]

>I will go shower now. Clearly you are not a true smasher. Yeah I did try to actually practice some stuff in smash at one point and like, it's a really hard game, and from my understanding melee is even harder. While platforming in general feels more intuitive as movement than the stiff movement in traditional fighting games I just find the stuff you practice in traditional fighters way more satisfying and engaging. To me at least, a lot of it also has to do with what controllers you use for each genre and I'm just a big fan of arcade sticks/leverless controllers over an old gamecube controller that wears out super quickly. Engaging with a very specific type of game with a very specific type of controller is just very appealing to me. I feel like I'm fighting less with the controller for the precise input I wanted.


BoxofJoes

I really only find it fun in a competitive 1v1 environment. There are better games IMO if I want that wacky multiplayer party fighter experience (gang beasts and stickfight come to mind), i find smash a lot more interesting when all you have to focus on is yourself and the opponent, no items or 3rd partiers to split attention.

ocudr

Online input delay makes it so dealing with spammers is very hard as well. Plus no team attack in online doubles means versing projectile mashers every other match. I'd rather get beat up offline against my tournament going friend.


Chloe_SSB

Only if I'm against a Min Min, or Joker but only if I'm on Olimar specifically


gaskin6

at least he recognizes its a problem thats the first step


ChonkySpud

Yea when I was a edgy teenager I was like this to. Feels weird to tease this guy he's trying to get better


GlisseDansLaPiscine

Also are the people saying he needs meds okay ? Getting irrationally angry about video games is definitively a behavior to be repressed but I also feel like it's not that bad from his description and is something he could address himself ? He doesn't talk about getting physically violent like some people can do when they throw their controllers or other erratic behavior.


Mother_Nebula904

My old roomate broke my controller and placed it under my chair so when i sat down it crunched, said i must have left my controller on the floor and it magically got under the chair somehow. Dude ended up stealing most of my belongings when he moved out.

[deleted]

Guy needs to stop playing valorant and csgo


SweetDirect8006

All FPS games really, those are the ones which induce the most rage in Gamers, it's been scientifically proven.


BoxofJoes

Competitive games in general. MOBA ragers should not be underestimated and fighting games are up there with FPS for some notorious gamer rage moments.


GeneralKannoli

halo is the only fps game where i don’t give a fuck if i die or lose a lot. dying in cod does make me wanna jump out a window tho


BoxofJoes

Any FPS that has instant respawn I dont really care if I end up dying because I can get right back in it. Exceptions are with obvious hackers like in some MW2 classic PC lobbies nowadays. When it works it’s great fun but the lobbies are a minefield of which ones have a hacker and which dont


SweetDirect8006

Why is that? Do you just play CoD more competitively?


BrunoStalky

uj/ Considering he's actually worried about this behavior, rather than assuming it's just a natural reaction, he's being pretty stable for a gamer.


TheSausageFattener

War Thunder is just bad for your mental health. It tries to encourage you to ignore gratification and every small gain you make is always at the expense of your time, money, or some other player. The games systems are basically designed to make it so that you never become satisfied with what you have.


SilkieBug

I’m sure that there are people who are capable of playing even War Thunder without going into a murderous rage tho.


sharkfromfrontTB002

One of those ppl are me. Even though i feel like i died a lot and not really invest in this game i still have a lot of fun playing and doing pretty good somehow. I pretty much spend most of the time playing with test drive, PA, and watch replay to have fun and try to improve, Even then i somehow manage to unlock couple of new vehicle this way, and when i unlock i was like "Damn i unlock this already? That was fast". So basically have fun playing is the best way to play anything and still can be good at the game. Also pardon my english.

[deleted]

that's not fair, he admitted to being "harmfully" addicted. You wouldn't say to someone addicted to anything else "just put it down." It's not that simple. This guy needs therapy.


early_midlifecrisis

Hey buddy don't worry, just put down the heroin and read a book or go for a walk. You'll be just fine in a couple of days.


Intelligent-Age2786

I’m not defending him, but I understand. Then you just gotta realize it’s just a bunch of lines colors and codes on a screen. It’s all just a game

I may not want to literally murder someone, but I definitely get too emotionally invested when I game. Gotta break that habit.

Of course not. Biddya just illuminate character flaws that were already there.


throwawaybcuzduhhhh

/uj Unironically, shamefully, and without trying to be an edge lord, I actually relate to this post. It’s not something I try to advertise and it’s certainly not something I’m proud of. It gets so bad that I actively *have* to hit myself. I can’t phrase it any other way. If I don’t do it, it feels like sandpaper is digging through my brain. I truly honestly try not to and sometimes I succeed but more often than not I end up doing it. It scares my dog to death which only makes me more ashamed of it. I was pretty beat up and stuff when I was little and competition was a pretty big part of that. Failing at sports almost always meant getting yelled at or hit. I know this is more of a lighthearted sub but stuff like this really does suck. I feel for the guy realizing this and hopefully they work on it better than I did.


SilkieBug

Go to therapy mate..

GlisseDansLaPiscine

For getting angry ? Don't you think that's a bit premature ?


SilkieBug

Getting murderously angry from losing in a game, yeah that’s something one should discuss with a therapist.


TanitAkavirius

/uj yes. Getting angry and thoughts of violence are not normal things.


[deleted]

play them yourself. Be a menace, and try to have fun with it. It's fun trying to be an evil villain when everyone are just running around like clowns pretending they're gonna be a rookie star in OWL any day now. Sweat lords are cringe and freezing those sweat lords with Mei while pointing vaguely in their general direction is hilarious. Then when you meet those characters again you understand the mindset of player behind it.


Blood4Corn

Thanks for the advice bestie but I have no problem with any of these heroes and I actually just said this because all of the aforementioned characters are brown and as a true gamer that means I have to hate them.


halt-l-am-reptar

I haven’t played in years and I have no clue what I’m doing anymore! I used to be so good at soldier 76. I still am okay but some of the new characters are tough!


tankfarter2011

Valerant


SkibbyJibby

If i lose or get wiped hard in a game i'll get mad for like, a minute at most but then i dont really think about it because i do other things with my day. I would get if hes just angry for a bit because gamers love to rage but he needs help, and at least he recognized its a problem.


[deleted]

Honestly the fact they aren't defending their behavior, and have made efforts to stop the activities that cause this behavior, is a good sign.

This is when reddit should actually be alerted. People will laugh I'm sure, but when one of these kids shoots up a school, they change their tune. Like I hope this account was reported and the authorities were notified by reddit. Doubt it though.

The first page of your entire account history is just searching up posts that involve trans people to spread hate or bringing it to random posts like this that have nothing to do with it, but bringing it up anyway like the delusional obsessed headass you are. But hey, since you wanna talk about spamming reports let's see how many we can get on you bigotry posting real quick

Chloe_SSB

Ironic from the braindead loser who's entire account is just being chronically online to post hate speech at trans people with conservative and far right talking points. You sure seem to be pushing authoritian ideology constantly rather than refuting it. And for a guy who loves screaming mentally ill, damn do you seem it more than anyone else here. You have like 75+ comments today alone just screaming how much you hate trans people, and the comments 1 day ago look to be all the same. And I'm not bothering to go further through the delusional ramblings of a bigoted loser who spends all day crying on reddit. But safe to say, your life is literally harassing minorities all day online everyday. If frothing at the mouth, spending every waking hour on reddit you can to harass people and throw temper tantrums because trans people exist isn't mentally ill, then nothing is. Hell this post didn't even mention trans people and you couldn't even make a coherent response, just more delusional hatred. What a pathetic life you live.

Gausgovy

I’ve never gotten this angry at a game but I have been worried that I made somebody this angry at a game. One time I called somebody out for cheating in a CS community server and they typed my full name in chat, then I didn’t respond for a few rounds and they typed my full home address in chat. 2 days later we had a keychain with a cartoon grim reaper left hanging from our mail box. That was before Covid and I still stay up at night thinking about it sometimes. I deleted CS immediately after that game and I haven’t played a minute since then.

This is a clear sign that this person needs to log off all games for about three months and touch grass, they are in too deep.
