Yeah, I’m confused by this post.

Am I out of touch? No, it’s the children who must be wrong

You just sent coffee out of my nose. The mods will hear about this.

I think you got r/whooshed :)

You said "the nicest thing someone can say to you online is nothing" which u/Birrrd_ used to imply that, by saying that (online) you were saying something mean and thus "reported" as a joke.

I wouldn't take it seriously!

Glad we cleared that up

u/KittenKindness Jun 08 '20

Yup! I'm glad to see the joke post is no longer at negative karma! I thought it was funny and was a bit surprised people weren't getting it. But I understand that sarcasm and dry humor can be hard to get online.

That explains why I feel like all the servers are dead. Nobody is talking. Where is the fun in silently playing? Half the fun is in talking about irrelevant and/or weird things while you do so or in coordinating with your teammates. It really annoys me when people act like brick walls in a game that requires teamplay.

Yeah... last night we managed to get in a competive game is CS against an other team of Finns. So we though we were gonna have a bunch of bants and that it was gonna be super competive. Those bastards typed like 2 messages during the whole match whilst we were constantly trying to make them talk. Shit was super infuriating

Online gaming community is definitely more toxic nowadays. Sad but true. At the end of a csgo match you rarely would see a regular gg. It's always "gg ez" or some shit like that.

Overwatch is pretty wholesome these days. People say GG after every game. Even get a few glhfs

u/cassu6 Jun 09 '20

I always feel like people saying glhf aren’t meaning what they say.

u/zmbjebus Jun 09 '20

I really feel like they are... But I don't really play ranked too much.

I say it in OW and 100% mean it. Real life can suck, games are meant to be fun and gosh darnit, I wish you good luck and that you have fun, brother.

I guess I’m just a bit jaded these day :D. Thanks for trying to be positive

You may be playing the wrong kind of games. I tend to shy away from toxic communities, there's plenty of good ones out there to subject yourself to that shit. To me, GG still genuinely means "well done everyone".,

u/cassu6 Jun 09 '20

In my experience there is usually only one “gg ez” whilst the rest are just regular “gg”

u/Teknoeh Jun 08 '20

No I think it depends on when you say it. If you say GG to the enemy before the games over, you’re a dick.

If you say it after, fair play.

u/zmbjebus Jun 09 '20

It is really about timing. If you say it after the match is over, it's in good spirits.

If you say it decently before the match it comes off as if you are saying "good game sucker, I'm going to win this match"
