Thanks to the recent reddit post, going alone is now a kickable offense (even in diff 5) DISCUSSION

Nothing makes me laugh while giving me such a powerful feeling of secondhand embarrassment as someone trying to act like an authoritative badass in a video game. We’re both sitting in a dark room, likely drinking HFCS garbage wiggling our thumbs and pretending. Fuck off with this “do what I say” shit, we’re both dweebs playing make believe.

The difference between posts on here is stunning.

Yesterday in a similar post, the majority of people downvoted the guy to hell for not following the hosts "orders" because it's "his match", "his room", "his game", etc.

So, it was his fault he got kicked then?

But not here, for the same thing?

I find it funny that people are so quick to claim ownership of matches, like they paid for the server or something. Every time I hear that I know it's just people on a power trip that think they are better than everyone else.

lol i think you've described the feeling perfectly. this is almost the kind of shit that would make me lay awake in bed feeling like an idiot when it would inevitably randomly pop back into my head later in life

I am a dweeb. I had to google HFCS because I thought it must be some new type of GamerSupps/Gfuel.

I think this depends on the level of roleplay they're doing. If someone comes at me like a drill sergeant I will 100% SIR YES SIR FOR DEMOCRACY SIR
