Sooo, being annoyed is considered to be weak? Like, they can say they fucked my mom all day, shit doesn’t bother me and really just shines a light on how sad they must be, but god damn does it get annoying.

Having to exclaim something ridiculous after losing or winning is honestly the weaker person if you think about it. Very low impulse control. Having to try to offend someone instead of say GG. What a bunch is sad individuals.

The greatest leap for me is not PS5 graphics, but load times. It’s so fast that it greatly improves the gaming experience.

Straight into games in under a minute. Jump to another gene for 10 and back almost instantly.

I went digital only as I hate discs. I hate swapping them, putting them back in the box. I hate keeping them clean.

Emmy personal recommendation would be Digital only PS5, with PSN subscription to get access to hundreds of classic ps3 and 4 games.

... I'm not sure you and I are on the same page as all. After all, this isn't "I swear, I only do this to ogle the waifus," this is " If I'm going to be watching a character animation, I want it to be attractive" with a side order of "Stop questioning my sexuality, asshole."

Theres nothing inherently embarrassing about being attracted to women. You're projecting your own emotion on the hypothetical person. That's fine if YOU feel it's more embarrassing, but by and large I think most people would just feel far more embarrassed to have someone attack their sexuality or gender.

For example: if I noticed that my trans male friend had a female avatar in most of the online games we played, and I said something to him in public like "Uh huh, what does this REALLY say about you?" I'd be DAMN LUCKY if he responded saying something like "It says I like staring at a nice ass" and left it alone.

It's fine to feel like people are altogether uptight and need to chill about this stuff, but you can't treat one person in a way that you'd never dream of treating anyone else, just because his sexuality and gender match a "Cis Male Gamer Stereotype." This isnt the 90s anymore, and you can't assume this comes from a place of toxicity or homophobia. Attacking someone's orientation or gender is something that no one likes.

Anyone here telling you “it happens in all aspects of competition….” are literally the people you’re talking about. Sure, trash talk happens, but not typically the shit you hear in a video game.

Salty they’re getting called out leads to all the downvotes you’re getting.

I agree. People need to take a step back. They talk shit if they win, if they lose, if you’re on their team and even doing better than them. Just a bunch of losers who didn’t get slapped around enough as a kid. They’re literally jus pouring out their insecurities right into your ears.
