Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

It is a serious problem but at least in my experience not even close to every match and they disagreed with your statment with anectotal evidence just like your statment so cut off the mean wording, that's uncalled for... Also it's just a game so no reason to call some kids worthless!

If you can't even play fair in a game, which has zero stakes on your life's success, then that shows a lack of basic morals and indicates you are completely worthless, and probably a drag on society. So no, I won't stop calling worthless scum worthless.

If you care so much about a fucking computer game your life is most likely a lot more worthless than any of these kids, cheating sucks but it's no reason to call a human being worthless, especially not someone who is most likely a teen or kid pushing bunderies!

  1. Counter Strike is a boomer game, most of the playerbase is made of adults. Drop the appeal to emotion by pretending it's a bunch of kids in a playground.

  2. Are you fucking illiterate?

  3. Lack of basic morals is more than enough reason to call worthless scum worthless. Are you worthless scum getting riled for being called out? Because that's what it seems like.

So you're admitting you're an old dude like some of us who decided whining about a video game is a good use of their time and effort? Act your age. You're children are likely embarrassed by your behavior if you have any.

If you don't have children, it is likely because you silver locked in life, perhaps play some competitive social experiences and see people to improve your chances and rank up. :^).

You can't even use the correct form of "your". How do you expect someone to take your braindead arguments seriously?

[–] Zomg@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

If that's your only argument, you've lost.

Trying to call everyone worthless who calls you out for your garbage takes reveals a lot about you, are you seriously going to pretend that CSGO players are all old or even adult?... You know what, I will take your advice and just block you cuz you don't seem like someone I want to interact with again!

Complaining about a video game shows a lack of basic life skills and indicates you are completely worthless, and probably a drag on society.

See how easy that is?

Non sequitur, there is no connection between the two thing you link. There is, however, a direct link between finding cheating acceptable and, surprise, finding cheating acceptable.
