I’ve seen tables flipped, tv sets punched through, furniture thrown. And that’s just in the home.

How does one get to a place mentally where burning and destroying things, over a sportsball game seem a reasonable thing to do?

    Should ask somewhere else, you won’t find these people in a federated open-source communist link aggregator website.

      People who destroy things over computer game outcomes: Why?

      I’ve seen keyboards flipped, monitors punched through, controllers thrown. And that’s just in the home.

      More relatable?

        If this is true, then people in your home need some professional help. I have never seen something like that over a videogame

        Ironically, the only game I’ve ever damaged my own stuff over was a sportsball game.

        Most games you fuck up due to your own incompetence, but football games and the like make you feel like you could do nothing wrong in a game and still lose. It’s infuriating.
