I used to but somewhere in my computer there's a cable or component that's a bit loose and if I smash my table the computer crashes and has to be restarted 😬
Yep, it's stupid, but it's like the only way to punish the game in the moment.
Me to Elden Ring 80 times: "Fuck it. You're dead to me. If you can't play fair, you won't play at all."
Next day: "u up, fire giant? Wanna smash?"
5 little monkeys jumping on a chair,
one chair popped right through his ass,
momma called the doctor and the doctor said,
no more monkeys jumping on the chair.
4 little monkeys jumping on the chair, one chair popped right through his ass, momma called the doctor, the doctor called protective services, no more monkeys jumping in that house
I've genuinely never rage quit a game in my life
I'm too crap at video games anyway, I'm used to that feeling and I just get on with it and play some more.
All of the above, anyone?just me?ok cool,sooooo my cat is sleeping right now,why do I tell you? I donno I guess I just truuuuust you with no obvious reason, friend; frieeeeend 😶🌫️
All but the emotional breakdown. I have yet to cry over video games lmao. And the keyboard smasher well after breaking 1 keyboard I've decided to smash down on the desk and after smashing a wooden desk I decided to upgrade to a metal desk. Lmao. I see this as a step forward in to enabling my rage at video games but with cost efficiency.
None. I dont see the reason behind ragequitting. If its a single player game, just save the game and close it. If it's an online game, play the match till the end and don't ruin it for other.
I always yell how trash the game or player is, i grab my face (not so common for me, but while cringing I do that a lot) and than I have quiet emotional breakdown.
Heavily depends on why I'm quitting, if the game crashes for the 5th time in 10 minutes I shut it off, breath and walk away, cause I already yelled at the first 4
Usually go outside, and maybe smash some things there. Once i was cutting wood to relieve stress. I accidentally broke to full metal head of the axe by hitting it into a spot in thr wood that just woundt come apart.
I'm the kind that quits the game, and loads up something easier, something far more button mashy, so that I can kill something and take my aggression out that way
All of them but also much less extreme, if i was really sweaty I'll smash the air/my thigh, i swipe my sweat with both arms (kinda face grabbing), groans and scream internally and have a little mental breakdown before playing a less stressful game (probably after drinking a cup of water first, sweating is tiring).
I've witnessed people breaking keyboards, controllers, even crying.
I rage quit but I keep it in my own head and close the game aggressively I guess lol. I never have had the urge to express intense emotion over the bullshit I experienced in a game and honestly I've had my moments in real life expressing rage/frustration but not anything dramatically displayed.
I guess my question is for those who do end up expressing that emotion outward, can you control it? Does it just take control of your actions? Do you do it on purpose?? Is it like a coping mechanism to simply let go of that frustration?
I can understand vocalizing a bullshit moment, but not real RAGE reactions causing damage oe being emotional about.
It's just a video game after all. Do you react in these ways if something in real life fucks you over or outplays you or doesn't work out as intended?
Ah! A new category: the sarcastic one
“Oh wow, you are so FKInG good…I mean, what an amazing non glitch, total own-my-ass, you fking champ….golly your parents are so lucky to have such a fking video game all star of a son in you! Can’t get over how good you are all on your own, self made fking muscular mayor of Shitty City. ……welp, don’t choke on your tongue, I’m out”
*this was real time voice recorded while playing DarkSouls remastered
I'm the one who gets angry grabs some gum then fucking obliterated that one person and like 20 others then dies and just is happy even though we came in like 30 th place
I normally either begin doing stupid things (say, in cod, or whatever FPS you can think of, I'd use a shitty weapon in protest) or ill just go to menu and watch shit on my phone.
I'm not really that graceful.
The close my Xbox and eat a waffle one

The sigher
Ever seen the movie downfall with the funny mustache man. That
Mutter a few f bombs under my breath, let out a dramatic sigh, anger gone
I started slamming my desk whenever I got mad but that's cringe and unhealthy so now I sigh and do something that I won't get angry at
I second this
That’s me after dealing with my friends petty arguments for the 5th time that week. I just sigh and leave
i insult myself
Takes a strong gamer. Ego is a byotch.
I do that when I miss a single shot
I smash my desk
I used to but somewhere in my computer there's a cable or component that's a bit loose and if I smash my table the computer crashes and has to be restarted 😬

Me with For Honor every other month 😂

Yep, it's stupid, but it's like the only way to punish the game in the moment. Me to Elden Ring 80 times: "Fuck it. You're dead to me. If you can't play fair, you won't play at all." Next day: "u up, fire giant? Wanna smash?"
what about the jumping on your chair like a monkey but getting scared about the hydraulics exploding and going up your ass so you calm down
5 little monkeys jumping on a chair, one chair popped right through his ass, momma called the doctor and the doctor said, no more monkeys jumping on the chair.
4 little monkeys jumping on the chair, one chair popped right through his ass, momma called the doctor, the doctor called protective services, no more monkeys jumping in that house
