There are a lot of adults that exhibit this behavior. I don’t deny other people their competitive experience, merely explaining why it’s not for me as I have grown older and have more responsibilities. Also not saying its universal.

But in general having only a small amount of time to dedicate towards something, the PvP / pub aspect certainly opens up for having your experience tarnished.

Also, if my “tone” came off as unpleasant that wasn’t my intention.

Sure, but you know what I meant. Also as simple as having your short moment dedicated to gaming ruined by someone disconnecting etc. which applies to chess as well (online).

Same boat. But also feel like as an adult with limited time I don’t want to deal with others negativity. Nor do I in certain games have time to check in on my stuff regularly.

There’s a few options that involve shaving or buzzing away part of the head. I like a good Chelsea cut.
