Yup. It’s why the only time I play online games now is with friends or not at all. Even then it’s pretty much just co-op against the game rather than against other players. I only have so much energy for gaming and am willing to spend zero of that energy on toxic nonsense.
Check out Deep Rock Galactic. I’ve been playing for 5 years now and have never ran into a toxic player. The community is known for being pretty friendly.
Its a shame in a way but me Im juste muting when possible. Dont want to depend on mate and I have none on gaming actually.
Ive even played again to counter strike source. So much fun in the old ways. No pressure. Trash talk to fun. You can change server by navigating on browser if unfriendly.
I don’t want to be tilted when I play. And I report a lot too XD.
On LOL you can mute by default in settings. In ranked I mute as soon someone start raging and I don’t care of the rank finally.
By this way, ignoring others, you can focus and improve your gameplay easier.
When its too much and I don’t see non sense to mute in an online game, I stop play or go solo on others games. After all my steam library is full of unplayed games.
If one day I do an smurf, shame on me, it will be just to be toxic and don’t care of the game and go trash others by revenge. I’ve no smurf yet and I’m an “old” gamer now.
I hate twitch/YouTube/esport for all the non sense they made theses lasts ten hear and how they influenced in a very bad way the gaming scene who were in a sense “free”. Ty capitalism (I know its non sense but in a way )
I understand that, but muting toxic people on those team games defeats the purpose for me. The point is to communicate and work together, when you can’t do that effectively because they’re being shitheads then I’ll take my ball and go home, so to speak. I have plenty of wonderful single player games and am lucky enough to have some friends for co-op games when I’m in the gaming mood.
You do you, but that technique just doesn’t work for me, personally. I think it’s good to get a different perspective like yours though, to each their own ☺️
Its true, but thanks ping’s system exist and on the game I play is fully efficient. But in a sense I’m still like you. I’ve stopped OW definitively for example bc of what you said.
Me too. The only two games I have been playing in the last 2 years are insurgency, division 2 and payday 2. All PvE. Fuck competitive players. The little time I have available to play, I want to have fun.
You mean competitive games right? Cause it sounds like you should avoid competitive games and game modes. The competitiveness is the point on of competitive games. Which is fine, not everyone needs to enjoy every game genre/mode. Just don’t think it’s the players fault in your outlined situation.
But when I play casual I still get lots of “my team sucks” and “why are you even playing you’re so bad”. I tell them to hit ranked if they’re that sweaty but I’d rather they just fuck off entirely.
I’m waiting for some age verification system so that us older gamers can enjoy playing games without having to compete when we don’t want to. I don’t need to feel elite, I need to feel an enjoyable gaming experience without feeling like I’m not doing something right.
I don’t want a guide to tell me the best build for my character, or tell me how much damage I’m doing. I want to figure shit out without having some kid berate me for not “taking it seriously”.
Bring back games for enjoyment, not achievement farming to brag. No one fucking cares how “good” you are at -any- game when you’re my age.
Hell yeah. I’d pay money to play with regular people. I fucking hate getting torn to pieces in game and verbally by 15-year-olds that have sunk 10,000 hours into a game. I’m a grown adult with minimal gaming time.
Also i agree that the mods are a bit quick to delete posts, there was a post about anti-abortion people or something that i was having a good conversation in which got deleted too
Just because I don’t make my own memes means I’m not able to talk freely about others I see? Come on now, everyone’s allowed an opinion, and it’s this is a forum/message board for discussing and voicing your opinion. That’s literally the point of this site
You are aware though what is good and what is not. The easiest way i know to make memes is using the app Meme Generator. I bought it years ago and it continues to serve me well to this day.
Thanks for actually trying to help me dude. We need more people like you. I’ll try out the app maybe when I have some free time tonight. I appreciate it
No, it’s not bad. Just finding that there is a lot of Facebook boomer memes and just older style memes here instead of actual original content. But this is also for shitposting so I’m moreso yelling into the wind for fun
Only tangentially related but I have nowhere else to share this thought, but I recently turned 40. And I’ve noticed that all the “hot singles in your area” ads have magically switched into “hot singles who love older men in your area” and it hurts more than my achey knees
That would be akin to saying that removing my post is the same as “inciting terrorism” because it makes me want to act out.
But again, missing the point. We can both make assumptions but u less I’m told by a mod why my post was removed I can’t even be sure it was mod action and not a bug in the system.
I’m going to assume it’s a bug until I do have clarification because I wouldn’t want to assume incompetence.
Great, so because of a lack of automated notification I’m left to assume whether it’s a bug or mod action? How does that resolve the problem for anybody?
If I assume. It’s a bug and I repost I risk a ban, so I stop contributing.
If I assume it’s a mod removal, but don’t know what rule I broke or why, I don’t have a clear understanding so I stop contributing.
Neither of these things allow me to understand why my content was not suitable and dissuade me from contributing, and if this is happening a lot it is probably damaging the ability for new contributers looking to engage.
This was my first post after all and I don’t know why it was removed. Why should I try to contribute ever again?
oh its a mod action, i can see it. first post, new to lemmy gets removed. seems pretty normal imo, shitposting is a risky place to try to FP that topic.
You can, but I can’t. As a new user trying to figure out a new platform a lack of information availability and communication of mod actions feels kind of counterintuitive to understanding when I am encountering a bug or crossing a line that I don’t understand. Neither of which is going to make wanting to contribute to the new platform I’m on out of uncertainty.
I don’t disagree though as a 16+ year reddit user, I can’t say I haven’t see exactly this on more than one site in the past. I’d also suggest that not every instance is “just like reddit” what might fly here will get you banned or censured on some instances, moderated on others.
I don’t have any issue with the rules or the actions taken, just the lack of transparency for new users who aren’t provided anythin except a post counter that’s one less than earlier.
You have been given the answers you seek. There is no place for mod actions to be viewed except for the modlog which is mentioned in the instance rules and about. On Lemmy, you always want to read the rules before posting because of events like this. I’m not saying its good we should get a notification. But you are beginning to repeat yourself and the answer has been given, satisfactory or not.
My point is this isn’t really a discussion. Its people answering your frustrations and mentioning it is known and you replying that the feature isn’t there in recursive fashion.
It’s not known to literally hundreds of thousands of new users though is it? You knowing something doesn’t help everyone else does it. Or are you ignorant of everyone who isn’t you?
While slowly raising the middle fing… nah tell her “thank you for your honesty” and pick up that sorry ass and keep looking till you meet someone who is into your age… “Yo I’m ya Sugar daddy”
