getting autobalanced in TF2, ESPECIALLY when it's the last minute of the game.
 
I really don't give a fuck about losing in online games so videos of people losing their fucking minds over videogame bullshit is extra funny to me. quality examples:

though I guess there's a big difference between getting griefed and losers who have played fortnight until their psyche broke
this is too pathetic to be funny.
 
I get salty but I don't ragequit. Latest salt was playing a piece of shit called Shadwen, which is basically "Escort Mission: The Game" with an AI "partner" that is invisible to the enemy just so that you don't snap the controller in half. The whole game feels like it started with a shit idea and everything else afterwards was just done to try and fix it (there is no fixing it, it's garbage.)

You're supposed to (on a pacifist run) distract the enemy and the AI then proceeds to go behind their back forwards in the level, but the AI is so fucking atrocious that sometimes you gotta start throwing a goddamn die whether the AI feels like moving. More often than not it stands in place, takes a few steps forward, stands in place, etc. until it ALMOST reaches the next checkpoint but then spazzes out because a guard just turned to vaguely look in its direction, whereupon the AI turns around and runs all the way back to the previous checkpoint instead of the one that was just 0.5 meters in front of it.

This was one of the rarer times when I started to scream from the top of my lungs some choice words like:
"MOVE! MOVE YOU FUCKING BITCH-CUNT, MOVE!"
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, MOOOOVE!"
"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU, YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
Which is funny because the AI-partner is a small orphan girl. This game made me scream obscenities at an orphan girl.

The writing was also complete trash so the ending was a complete waste of effort. I did get some catharsis from murdering every last motherfucker in every level afterwards, though. Best of all, when there's no guards, the AI actually FUCKING MOVES.

Wasn't that hard, I platinumed that in 8 hours.
 
Salt is the reason I gave up on games with a competitive scene, namely Pokemon and Smash Bros. I can play with friends, where it's far easier to just laugh off mishaps and bad performances and remind myself it's all in good fun, but against nebulous randos who I have no proper interaction with, it gets to me all too easily.

Try dual blades, from experience they’re the most rushdown-friendly weapon in the game or use sword and shield if you want a nice rushdown/defense balance

I've used lance for about 80 or so hours and you can be very aggressive and rushdown-esque with Lance because the shield is so strong at letting you be aggressively close, and the hops are very effective at close small distances quickly once you get used to them. Dual blades have too little range for me and I have to actual dodge, which is awkward after you've played 70+ hours of just not bothering to dodge anything even Nerg's dive bomb.

I've tried SnS and the shield is way too weak for me and the range isn't there all the time, though I like it for only blue rathalos because blue rathalos moves around too much for me as lance, and SnS is super fast and has some nice air moves that are easy-ish to access when Blue Rathalos is flying.
 
I've been playing a ton of for honor recently. That game is so imbalanced it makes the leaning tower look straight. If it's not Orochi light spam, it's the newest waifu for all the waifufags Hitokiri, the jap axe hobo. Instant kill feat that tracks? Light spam and hyper armor? Fuck youuuu. Where's hyper armor on Lawbringer, who's wearing a full set of spanish knight armor? that shits heavy as fuck, but because he has the most health, I guess that means he needs the least amount of stamina too and no hyper armor. Shugoki has it, Hito has it, and Berserker who is WEARING A SHIRT has it? An assassin class with hyper armor? fuck off.

But that's not even getting into Raider. Those goddamn baguettes are vikingboos and they make me even more ashamed to be a frog then I already am. Fucking vikingboos. Not only is it the reddit faction, it has the most people in it, and their heroes are so overtuned It'd be like throttling a bike handle half an inch and you go from zero to sixty in 0.5 seconds.

Raider is the worst. Why does his Stunning Tap take away 20% stamina, stun you, and have lightspeed attack priority? Why is he allowed to cancel any side heavy into a stunning tap? Why do his lights come out faster then orochi's? why does his 400 mile long running grab give him stamina, take away yours, and include stun?

Goddamnit I hate this game but I can't stop playing it. At least I got it for free.
 
Call of Duty: WaW. Trying to do the Gunslinger achievement legimitately.

Basically you are on the top floor of a building and the goal is to assassinate your target from a fucking city square away... with a fucking pistol's ironsights. Said pistol takes more than one hit to kill on a bodyshot, and once this motherfucker enters his escape car he'll duck and become an even smaller target.
Also the pistol has to be gotten earlier in the level and if you don't have it at the time you have to replay the entire level.

There has been nothing but salt in all the MMOs I've played, specially FFXIV.
Fuck off server. I did the Hello World mechanic properly, stop fucking with me.
 
I lost a run of slay the spire yesterday at the true final boss on ascension 3/defect because that game’s analog sensitivity is high enough that releasing the stick sometimes causes an opposite input, so I used some random card instead of the defense i wanted and got summarily murdered. I think that bug is the only thing in that game that makes me genuinely angry when it happens.

That's happened to me, getting bounced to the losing side seconds before they lost

I looked at the scoreboard and I had double the points of the guy in second place
