> I'm sure you come off as a lot nicer, but I suspect you're doing subtle things constantly that you might not even be aware of, or that you write off as normal and therefore perfectly fine.
Maybe, but I doubt it. I'm sure I'm not the world's nicest person or anything, but unless everyone is lying to me: I have a fun personality and people prefer to be around me than not.
If your ethics and morals don't allow you to let the other player feel bad, how do you even play games? Usually the point of games is to win, or to at least out-achieve others. How do you spare their feelings while you shoot someone in the face in an FPS?
- Holoryn 10y agoYou can be competitive without being a dick. It's just like playing any other sport.
- navbaker 10y agoIt's called good sportsmanship and (some) online games are the only place you can get away without practicing it. Anywhere else (board games, pick up sports games, etc) it's required regardless of whether you win or lose or you'll be ostracized.
- piptastic 10y agoVideo games aren't the only place that you can get away without practicing it. Places I've seen bad sportsmanship do fine (or prosper): - All major sports (NFL, NBA, college, etc.) - Business: Steve Jobs, (everywhere else) - Presidential Elections People in these cases (and more I'm not thinking of) generally don't care about how much of a jerk you are and some even respect you more for it.
