this sounds cliche as fuck but I've never thought it like this. Thank you for your wisdom anon
>>344818667
That sounds foolproof, I might try this. Thanks for the insight, Anon.

getting heated is the first step towards getting burned out. If you want to keep enjoying games, stop getting mad
>being an inferior subhuman who breaks things
>>344817868
Played a lot of hardcore games.
Got super mad after losing a month of playtime in a milisecond at first but stuck around and eventually got desensitised.
It's just a game, kiddo. There's no need to be mad.
I say this with zero sarcasm:
It's just a game. Seriously. If you're gonna get mad at least get mad about something that actually matters.

medication, seek help.
Basically it all just comes down to not actually becoming "involved" in the anger if that makes sense
You do this by realizing that you're angry and becoming mindful of it. Sounds obvious, but people who yell at their screens aren't actually aware of the anger, they're just blindly acting out of emotion. Once you're aware of the anger and refuse to partake and perpetuate it (including passive-aggressive bullshit) it'll dissipate
aka breathe in breathe out

Das deep mane.
I used to get mad on online games A LOT when I was a hormonal middle schooler. Punching holes in walls and screaming, all that shit. Now that I'm in my early 20's, I literally cannot rage at games any more. Some times CS GO can get me a bit flustered when I get rekt, but I never get "mad".
Honestly, my question to you is: How do *you not* keep your cool?
>playing single player game
>lose

>playing ranked matchmaking
>lose
>good game guys
>playing pub matchmaking
>shit flinging ass grabbers on my team don't even know basic controls
>feel an urge to put my hands round their necks and squeeze
Depression and a strong case of "tired gamer" make hard to get mad over games anymore. Humility helps a small extent too.

Buy expensive peripherals so you won't feel the need to break them

It doesn't work with everyone, regardless of how much I'm self aware about my anger and the stupidity of raging at a video game sometime I get an irrepressible anger that keep growing until I'm unable to do anything else than beat up something until i bleed.
It's like thirst, you can hide it but not for long.
>>344817868
If there's chat just make an ass of yourself constantly
You begin to acclimate to the feeling and develop bantz thinking about all the insults you receive
Then you can transcend your anger
>>344818315
>>344822835
It's not about repressing or hiding it, as that's dangerous. It's about not identifying with the anger itself. The key is not REACTING to it. You may feel like you got some sort of release from hitting something but it doesn't stop it in the long term, it'll rise up again sooner or later like an addiction. Nothing is ever gained from acting out of anger.
It's also helpful to put yourself in the shoes of whoever is making you angry and see the situation from their perspective

Remember that everyone who plays videogames is a retard.
>Usually completely fine when playing video games

Every time I think I'm dragging the team down, only to find out I'm doing better than the rest of the team, I die a little more inside.

Travel back in time and clone my brother in your mom's uterus.
He's older than me and annoyed me my whole life. I got vaccinated. I don't get mad about practically anything anymore.
He was always better at anything that I would do
>chess
Fucked me up at our local club
>martial arts
beat the shit out of me in 'sparring'
>any multiplayer vidya
Defeated me every time and made fun of me
>Playing outside
always found a way to turn it on its head and make it about making me go ballistic.
I got mad every single time. And after a while I realized that my impotent rage won't make him stop. So I tried ignoring him, didn't help, so after that I tried to not get mad at him and after some time, it worked. I stopped getting worked up over a loss imln vidya, chess, what have you. So yeah.
>getting angry online
I only get angry when I play alone
Garner a lower and more critical opinion of yourself.
Its hard to stay mad at others if you reason in your head that you lost because of how ass you are.
It also helps you make sense of your mistakes if you can tell yourself why you are so bad.
Imagine there's a bunch of cute girls/boys/whatever in the room with you and they'll laugh at you if you tard rage.
