Somehow better. But there are few cases of vidya that teach you something, Patholgic 2 is one I remember. They portrayed the whole community/legacy and independence thing in a good way.

>passed the Witcher 3
What? Who refers to beating a video games as "passing" it?

ESL third world shitters that make awful fucking threads like this.

DAE /ourguy/ fellow redditors?? XD
Edit: wow this blew up, donating half the gold to BLM

does it matter?

I used to have a lot of anger problems and pent up aggression. I never threw or broke my shit, but I put my fists through a few of my parents cabinets and couches. Ironically it was Dark Souls that taught me to deal with that and let go. The angrier I got, the less I focused, the worse I played, the more I screwed up, the harder and less forgiving the game was to my tantrums. By the time I fought Seathe on my first, blind playthrough, I'd learnt how to control my anger so much better, and learnt that I needed to stay calm in order to succeed and progress.
I've only seldom gotten angry at a game since then, and on the rare occasions I do, I handle it much, much better.

Person with hardcore anger issues here.
Please give some advice

Advice never helped me. There's a big difference between being told something and realizing that same thing for yourself sometimes. The game helped me because I enjoyed it and wanted to progress, but it also frustrated me. My desire to progress outweighed my frustration, and I figured out how to push through it and calm myself because of the incentive of game progress that was being dangled in front of me, and because of the realization my anger wasn't helping or accomplishing anything, it was actually holding me back and making things harder - and for once, there was nobody else and nothing else to cast blame on. It's not really an experience you can pack into advice. Perhaps you could try to create a similar experience.

Understand what's making you upset. Is what's making you upset worthy of whatever consequences may happen from reacting to it? What helped me with this is actually writing out what's making me upset and read what I wrote to myself. I usually find myself laughing at how silly the actual "problem" is and toss the note in the trash.
Find non destructive or healthy things that allow you to relax. When I feel heated I try to take a break from what's making me mad, and go for a walk or play with my cat.
It sounds odd, but genuinely when something is making you mad, just leave and go take a piss or shit. Actually sit down on the toilet, and just chill and relax. The bathroom is usually cooler in temperature, and the tiles are cool on your feet.

>Wow he is one of us guys, he is so based i'm going to watch all the netflix witcher now and name my wife son after him!

>hello fellow gamer nerds

He is unironically based. He called out the metoo movement.

The netflix witcher series actually is surprisingly good, and this is coming from someone who didn't really like TW3 and only watched the netflix series reluctantly at first. Like I was straight up ready to hate the series and it won me over anyway.

Go see a therapist.

>some Jewish actor who made a career from a mix of nepotism and sucking hundreds and hundreds of producer dicks is totally one of us because he once lied in an interview stating that he spends all his time doing [popular with young people activity]

This is generally a waste of money unless you need a prescription or diagnosis. A therapist is someone people go to to feel better about their problems, not to solve them.

videogames turned me into the perfect human

Its funny how he pisses of the r*dd*t/summer tourists/schizos.

Worse, rather than confront my problems I went the hedonistic route of escapism.

you wish

I was heavily abused as a child by parents and that's what I assume it stems from. The biggest problem I face is even a minor interaction with someone where they will just have a rude tone or something will send me into a gigantic rage where I'll be stuck fantasizing about murdering them for the next couple of weeks. I never stood up for myself or even got any kind of closure so I've thought about a therapist but I hear conflicting things, also don't really wanna fork out the money at this time.

Do you make an elaborate plan on how to execute the assassination? Have you considered working as hitman?

The closure you got is what you have. Not every story has an end.
I understand what you mean by just hating every person who's slightly rude, but I try to just realize and understand that they, personally, do not care about me, so why should I care about them?

How the hell would I know

Hard to sayWithout vidya I would probably have gone the route of blue collar worker and would now live a nice middle class life with a spouse and probably kids. Due to vidya, I was more solitary, now I'm a STEMfag doing his phd with no gf. There are times I wish I went the worker route.

When I was young I used to but now I just imagine clobbering them to death, however I even realise how silly this and I try not to fantasize too much. I just think that I've had so many people be aggressive /abusive towards me before that I'm just expecting every person to want to attack me and so I need to be ready for it.

I appreciate the words user and you're right, ultimately it doesn't matter. Like I said I think one of my bigger problems is I assume the other person is dwelling on it getting all fired up and so I need to retaliate by firing up as well and getting ready for a fight. I just want to get to a point where I can honestly shrug shit off and not care but im not there yet.

Do they fight back when you imagine attacking them? What is your k/d ratio?

I almost always imagine them fighting back funnily enough. My k/d ratio of I had to say would probably be comically high

worse from 14-18 due to WoW addiction, better now cause i make income from it to help pay my mams mortgage.

I was born and raised in a lower-middle class environment, none of my family members went to the university and most of them have dead end jobs.

Video games somehow "trained" me to be more literate and better at problem-solving. I'm currently faring better than my family as an adult.

You can do a lot with plastic surgery, steroids and good angles/light.

Stallone and Jean Claude Van-Damme are both Jewish, also. In case you didn't know. The difference being that they openly admit it.

>>that perfect specimen of a man
>>jewish
Yes, spot on.
Glad we understand eachother, wh*tey.

Sounds to me like you're bottling that anger up. You're not expressing it, you're not doing anything with it. You need to start expressing yourself. The more you bottle that shit up, the longer you say nothing, the longer you keep it to yourself, the more and more trivial infractions will enrage you, and the worse you'll handle it. You've got the right to be treated with respect. That doesn't mean fly off the handle when someone takes a tone with you, though. Figure out how to be assertive without being aggressive. Confirm your feelings. If you feel someone's being rude to you, say so, eg: "Hey, from the way you're talking to me, I'm getting the impression you're upset/pissed with me, is there a problem here?"
You'll be surprised how polite most of them will suddenly turn at that alone.

But this isn't a therapy board. We've gotten very off topic.
