    I still have no respect for people playing competitive online games. Their behavior just shows them as largely being the same kind of sportos who were no end of misery growing up. Fuck em, single player games for life.

      That’s interesting. Personally I never got into competetive online stuff (other than minecraft servers), and when i did play it with friends it was a bit mid, so i’m also a singleplayer-only guy.

      It’s definitely true that those I’ve seen are ‘sportos’ (great word) but there do exist people who out the effort into keeoing an inclusive environment for it. E.g other singleplayer gamers would probably do that.

      I think turning videogames into a social occasion helps people to manage it in healthy quantities, which is something I have struggled with.

        “Sportos” is old slang, dunno how far it spread, maybe it’s just local. Breakfast Club era slang.
