All I'm hearing is that women disrupting male hierarchies leads to trouble so they should stay the fuck out of them.
I can still beat you at ghost recon, and other older games like splinter cell. Even if my voice makes you think you're playing a little boy. I haven't played in a while, but I never delt with the above because at my house we played seriously. Even before cross platform my dad bought the xbox and the computer version. They weren't always the same.
My lil bro went off once because I had complained that he'd play 5 levels when I was gone, but he'd come back and I'd have played 20+ levels while he was gone 🤭. AND when my lil bro lost his eye, he had a short adjustment period before he played his usual skill level.
Some people can't play. Imagine getting your ass kicked by someone who just lost an eye. THAT was the best shit talk of all time. It wouldn't have made it these days without getting banned.
The whiners helped ruin that hobby for me, but I don't have 13+ hours to play a game like I did then either. This article may as well say. " no shit talk allowed". My son doesn't even use mics to play. His friends get online, and then join a live on another platform for chatting because the whinners ruined everything.
Duke Nukken Forever is an oldie but goodie you should try. It's just fun.
!?
Damn I feel old.
Still a fun game! And, you really have to be as old as we are to see how gaming has changed to pander to the woke.
I was so confused my son doesn't use a mic to play. He uses his phone on an entirely different platform so no one he doesn't authorize can hear him just so he can shit talk without someone reporting them. Being told that blew my mind.
When I play with my cousin who I'd guess is your son's age he never wants to use mic either. Perfectly fine with me and way better without an annoying headset. I never liked voice chat anyway. Probably because I'm really not any good, but I spent my time on other things most of my life and it's hard to make up for having 5% of the hours played in a competitive game. Who wants to hear some idiots bad music, obnoxious voice, and ridiculously loud background noise anyway.
