I get the meme, but I don’t know how to apply it to this post.
Could someone elaborate?

Ahh, ok. Thanks. Was focusing on the body/paragraph of the text.

Pretty sure it was just an excuse for the authors to play Halo, but skimming the study it still looks like valid science.
Insights into Sexism: Male Status and Performance Moderates Female-Directed Hostile and Amicable Behaviour
Gender inequality and sexist behaviour is prevalent in almost all workplaces and rampant in online environments. Although there is much research dedicated to understanding sexist behaviour, we have almost no insight into what triggers this behaviour ...
Who actually needs an excuse to play Halo though?
People with jobs that aren’t playing video games.
neeeeeerds

Replying to this with a T2S soon
squirrelObligatory footnote: EvoPsych is mostly bunk, deeply intertwined with eugenics and riddled with homophobia, sexism and rape apologia.
Traditionally, yes, but I do want to note that modern takes use it to also argue for cooperation, since working with with others is good for survival and passing on genes. They also are the first to tell people how bunk the alpha male crap is, and the fact a lone wolf is a dead wolf.
EvoPsych?
Evolutionary psychology. I think there’s real research in the field, but it’s drowned out by charlatans who use invoke its name to lend credence to their made-up bullshit without the burden of scientific rigour.
ZeroHoraSo my transition from cringe lord to become a better individual overall is actually just me getting better at video game? Fair enough
Not necessarily.
IndiBronyNo, but it means you give less of a shit when you lose.
Absolutely.
Inf_V"but behaved more submissively towards players with a male voice" I want to know what they mean by submissive
They got into some freaky shit in those lobbies.
They were less confrontational and more likely to accept direction
Appeal to authority. Higher-skilled male players got to call the shots, lead, delegate etc.
xavier666“Given the chance, they would definitely lock lips with the dominant male”
Same way you’re “submissive” to your boss
⛓️💥butt stuff, gotcha
imagine acting hostile towards people who are better than you at a skill instead of trying to improve yourself, or focusing on enriching a skill that you can do better than whoever makes you feel inferior
Understandable - management has a natural affinity with dumbass.
I didn’t even know people were still playing Halo 3 in 2015
This is probably seen through rose tinted glasses, but Halo 3 had the best multi-player experience I think. It has community created maps, game modes, and an a way for anybody with a account to share what they made. From pictures to custom forge maps. I have nothing but fond memories of the experience.
This is definitely an objective opinion based on facts and universal experiences: the best multiplayer experience was Halo 1, when we ran ethernet cables between our dorm rooms. I’d wake up to someone slamming on my door telling me to turn my Xbox on, and I’d jump right into a death match.
AppoxoMy life went down in Containment doing 1v1 splitscreem pvp with my friend.
I will never let anyone say Halo 2 was worse than any other entry.
It’s either Reach, CE or 2 (in the chronological order).

Halo 3 released on better hardware, so they included huge multiplayer maps like Sandtrap, but they hadn’t yet realised that huge maps require faster traversal. As a result, your Spartan moves around like a sack of wet potatoes.
Halo 2 has the best slow multiplayer because of the tighter maps, and Halo 5 has the best fast multiplayer because of the traversal tools.
Master Chief Collection came out in late 2014.
It sucked so hard for the first 4 years that I didn’t start playing it again until 2018 when they sorta fixed it.
MoreFPSmorebetterI have ~10k hours in counterstrike across multi game versions and accounts. I noticed a similar thing over my years. The players doing well in a match were often neutral towards gamer girls, but the guy having a shit match would be the fastest sack of shit every time. Especially if one of the top fraggers pointed out they were being beaten by a girl.
Obviously there are always exceptions to any rules but in my anecdotal experience the guys who were confident in their abilities didn’t care about women but losers would attack them just for speaking.
Man. I miss when gungame was filled with people and all the fun addons. Warcraft 3 mods, vote for knife fight, “gotcha bitch” with every knife kill.
I want to go back.
OG /gg and /surf maps.
Counter Strike was way better when this was the vibe. I am so tired of competitive this and gun case that. I’ve never been interested in 5v5 scrimming in any serious way, but that’s all CS2 wants me to do.
I want gun game, I want wc3, I want ZM. I want quirky custom maps and quake sounds and !bet ct all. I want to fuck around with new friends on a server for an evening, not to sweat my balls off throwing practiced smokes on dust2.
I’m right there with you. I haaaaaate the direction of modern gaming.
Same thing kinda happened to TF2. I mean, Competitive is dead but the server browser and community servers are not what they used to be. I miss when it was front and center. Today most people just play casual on Valve servers.
After a quick search it seems like the CS2 in-game server browser has gone to complete shit. I hope Valve fixes it. It’s part of the Source Legacy.
And the old WCFAN (we couldn’t find a name) servers, what was it called again, I think hillbreak? That was fun!
ArtificialHoldingsEgo soothing, peacocking behavior
I have ~10k hours in counterstrike
Damn. There’s 8760 hours in a year btw. That’s impressive.
If it makes you feel any better those hours were spread out over the last 10 years or longer. I can’t even remember when I started. Just one of those ol’ reliable games for me.
A tenth of a year is still 36 and 1/2 days of uninterrupted cs per anum.
And the worst part of it is that probably half of those hours happened within a few years in the middle there. I played like 6 hours a night every night with my friends. Good times but yeah…
Same feelings here, I used to average around 1k hours per year in my “active” years.
All of the issues with CS2 kinda put the end to that, played the beta, then stopped for a year, and now I play few games every few days
My heavy CS days were early in csgo days. Back when the skin gambling scene and the pro scene were popping early on. My buddies and I would watch the pro games and then get all hyped to improve and we would jump into ranked only to get fucking pub stomped. Good times. Eventually we did start getting good. I only ever got to whatever rank was below global and only two of my buddies ever got to global.
However my top fps bragging moment was actually in valorant when it was a closed beta still I absolutely shat all over pro csgo player at the time named JDM in a lobby. Top fragged and completely dominated him the entire match.
That was when I peaked in my fps gaming lol. It’s all been downhill since. I’m still better than most people at fps games in general, but I am not as sharp and snappy as I was when I was a younger man with way more free time to practice and improve every night.
You’re absolutely correct, I had a similar experience
I played CS for roughly the same amount of time; my clan ranges from DMG to Global, but we had a rule that if you were in the clan, we’d 5-man with you regardless of your rank, so if you were Silver, you’d have a chance to rub elbows and learn strategies from the higher skilled players.
Then we got a Global, a girl named Moon.
Holy hell, it’s like people’s brains did a 180°, they were incredibly mean to her, for no reason, and eventually it came out that she was trans, and they bullied her even worse, out of the server.
I kicked everyone who bullied/demonized Moon for being trans; because at the end of the day, it was about being a honest human being, and not just a CS player/gamer.
RememberTheApollo_Especially if one of the top fraggers pointed out they were being beaten by a girl.
Not really a gold star by the top player’s name for this, either. The comment alone leaves plenty of room to be interpreted as “girls should be easy to beat/poor gamers because they’re girls.”
They wouldn’t say “you’re getting beaten by a girl” as much as they would respond to the guys losing their minds who happened to be below them on the scoreboard by saying things like “Why are you yelling at her she’s playing better than you are shut up”. Kinda way.
