Unpopular opinion but games with community-driven multiplier (i.e. people hosting their own servers) is infinitely better than matchmaking multiplayer running on the dev/publisher’s servers if only for the sole reason that players have a choice of what kinds of communities they want to build and what things other players should be allowed to do instead of being forced into a sterilized commercial monoculture. I should be able to say “KYS KYS” in game if the people I’m playing with are okay with it.
That and it’s easier to make genuine connections with regulars. Nowadays for that you have to go out of your way to join a community discord or similar because nearly all multiplayer games are built to play with your existing friends.
i miss the days of shit talking in COD lobbies for hours. so funny hearing people cry about my perfect grenade throws ruining their killstreaks
Classic pre-game lobbies
So unpopular…
unpopular opinion but i like food
On a side note I shouldn’t be getting comm banned for swearing on a game that’s not only rated M but also has swearing in the game.
I agree but just to clarify “kys” isn’t swearing it’s bullying
That’s why it’s a side note. Tangential but relevant.
If a low stakes game makes you so furious that you wish for someone to die, you should not be allowed to play these games.
Agreed, they need to improve their skills enough to make it happen instead of merely passively hoping that the world improves itself.
All I said was gg 5 times
[Chat disabled for 3 seconds]
The problem wasn’t the gg, it was the two letters before and after…
Come to think about it, I haven’t been called that online in a long time.
EZ GG EZ
It took me a minute, but I just realized that your description could actually apply to two completely different slurs.
I miss when we’d get French players on Xbox Live voice chat and playfully abuse in other in our own languages (I know enough French of that sort).
I used to love getting foreigners who’ve only learned English for weapons/vehicles that don’t translate for some reason and swear words.
You’d get “eusbdheu sjot8fb skxbfh LE SNIPER RIFLE eudbdisn fjfbdbdju kshdbdbr LE ROCKET LAUNCHER fidndjdb skejfb behdhcui SHIT BASTARD FUCK BASTARD FUCK FUCK BASTARD SHIT”
I so miss þe playful abuse between strangers in game via voice. Nostalgia for a certain time this world may never feel again, expressed on a platform that is so anti casual-confrontation most won’t understand or enjoy that time.
Only thing I dont miss is being called the n word. Odk that’s the go to for suburban kids.
Yeah, that was too much to be called by a 13 year old sqeaker.
A bit weird to use soyjak in this one, most mic munchers don’t nor can have beards as they don’t have fully developed balls yet
completely unfair ban, they said it three times the rule only had it twice, how could they have know?

Good thing I checked the comments before posting the Uhm Ackshually
Didn’t know that the offended wine moms of America got linked this post, sad that as an adult you can’t control your feelings when someone makes jokes on a video game
offended wine moms of America
Too fucking funny, banned!
Who makes fake kissing sounds in online games?! And why is it a bannable offence?
Oh, it’s better to read the user agreement, there are such horrors there… Access to your PC at any time when you are connected to the network without problems…
By the way, what kind of editors do you use to create these memes? I don’t want to trust online editors or anything corporate. I hope you understand.
Use Krita
Use Krita
Okay, thanks then I’ll watch tutorials like in the good old days. :3
I didn’t make this particular one, but I usually just bash it out in a minute using Paint.
Like the material or the program?
(This was funnier in my head.)
Paint.NET (note: not their URL sadly) is simple and will get the job done for 99% of your meme needs. I find Krita and alternatives are harder to use for simple edits because they’re designed for more complex tasks.
the linux equivalent is Pinta but it is not nearly as powerful
Just play EA games. You can say anything.
Fuck EA.
I’ve had voice chat disabled since forever. I will not listen to the tools I play against. Racist and political trolls along with just general assholery. Not worth it. The only time VoIP is worth it these days is of you’re playing with a known group that polices its chat.
i so dearly wish more games were like deep rock galactic, just have a button that lets you ping whatever you’re looking at, with special voicelines for important things.
in DRG it’s a faux pas to use the voice chat, half the fun of the game is communicating solely through pinging stuff and furious head and body movement.
Sis, yeah, fuck EA. EA not spending money on caring one way or the other checks out.
Blizzard game chat is horrid lol
I’m in genuine fucking awe at how awful Blizzard chat is. It’s so so bad I’m actually sorta impressed at how bad it is. They don’t even filter spam.
It’s so insanely wildly impressively bad it doesn’t even belong in the last decade, and that’s before you even get into the rancid garbage the non-bots are saying.
It’s funny because one of the first pc games I really got into was Wc3 and I swear the chat wasn’t like that
It would be nice if they were that explicit about what they don’t want said. Instead it’s more like, “Don’t say stuff we might not like. No, you can’t have a list and when we ban you we won’t tell you why.”
Yeah, the answer is to just not play those games or give them your money in the first place.
What else do you expect, giving up your freedom of speech to faceless corporation and their bureaucratic corporations ? Really at this point it’s a choice. No one is forcing you to interact with these totalitocrats.
Play on your own terms, or just don’t play at all. Reject convenience, K Y S
