And this is partly the reason multi-player games have lost my interest. The “win at any cost” mentality, coupled with me being an old bastard really made them a shit experience.
Helldivers 2, with its team based goals is a bright spot, with it seems everyone out for a good time. Last night played with a kid who seemed to have a mic & headphones for the first time ever and it was hilarious, “hey bro, bro” nonstop chatter & everyone rolling with it. Good times!

I am not even that old (25), but years of being exposed to toxic and try-hard competitive CS (without any actual incentive to be competitive) made me the same toxic shit. That’s why I stopped playing altogether, apart from co-op stuff. HD2 is exactly the kind of game that helps. I can become annoyed as well, but I realise that it is mostly at myself now for making stupid decisions. And generally it’s just about having fun. The fact that I can laugh about being tked in the most ridiculous and unnecessary way is great

Sometimes I actually surprise myself on the myriad of ways i can off myself…
There should be a compilation video of the most unique, like: ive been blasted across the entire map, freefalling and ragdolling for ages and Injust sit there in amazement.

Getting killed by dead bugs or being yeeted into orbit for no apparent reason are the best. Shooting the autocannon at objects too close for comfort and then ragdolling into mines is a facepalm moment - it happens way too often
