Who makes fake kissing sounds in online games?! And why is it a bannable offence?
What a shocker!

It would be nice if they were that explicit about what they don’t want said. Instead it’s more like, “Don’t say stuff we might not like. No, you can’t have a list and when we ban you we won’t tell you why.”
haloduder@thelemmy.club 7 months ago
Yeah, the answer is to just not play those games or give them your money in the first place.

Didn’t know that the offended wine moms of America got linked this post, sad that as an adult you can’t control your feelings when someone makes jokes on a video game

Oh, it’s better to read the user agreement, there are such horrors there… Access to your PC at any time when you are connected to the network without problems…

By the way, what kind of editors do you use to create these memes? I don’t want to trust online editors or anything corporate. I hope you understand.
Godric@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I didn’t make this particular one, but I usually just bash it out in a minute using Paint.

Like the material or the program?

Charzard4261@programming.dev 7 months ago
Paint.NET (note: not their URL sadly) is simple and will get the job done for 99% of your meme needs. I find Krita and alternatives are harder to use for simple edits because they’re designed for more complex tasks.

Unpopular opinion but games with community-driven multiplier (i.e. people hosting their own servers) is infinitely better than matchmaking multiplayer running on the dev/publisher’s servers if only for the sole reason that players have a choice of what kinds of communities they want to build and what things other players should be allowed to do instead of being forced into a sterilized commercial monoculture. I should be able to say “KYS KYS” in game if the people I’m playing with are okay with it.

So unpopular…

LwL@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That and it’s easier to make genuine connections with regulars. Nowadays for that you have to go out of your way to join a community discord or similar because nearly all multiplayer games are built to play with your existing friends.

On a side note I shouldn’t be getting comm banned for swearing on a game that’s not only rated M but also has swearing in the game.
PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
I agree but just to clarify “kys” isn’t swearing it’s bullying
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s why it’s a side note. Tangential but relevant.

I miss when we’d get French players on Xbox Live voice chat and playfully abuse in other in our own languages (I know enough French of that sort).

I so miss þe playful abuse between strangers in game via voice. Nostalgia for a certain time this world may never feel again, expressed on a platform that is so anti casual-confrontation most won’t understand or enjoy that time.

Blizzard game chat is horrid lol
Godric@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m in genuine fucking awe at how awful Blizzard chat is. It’s so so bad I’m actually sorta impressed at how bad it is. They don’t even filter spam.
It’s so insanely wildly impressively bad it doesn’t even belong in the last decade, and that’s before you even get into the rancid garbage the non-bots are saying.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’ve had voice chat disabled since forever. I will not listen to the tools I play against. Racist and political trolls along with just general assholery. Not worth it. The only time VoIP is worth it these days is of you’re playing with a known group that polices its chat.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
i so dearly wish more games were like deep rock galactic, just have a button that lets you ping whatever you’re looking at, with special voicelines for important things.
in DRG it’s a faux pas to use the voice chat, half the fun of the game is communicating solely through pinging stuff and furious head and body movement.
Godric@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Sis, yeah, fuck EA. EA not spending money on caring one way or the other checks out.
beejboytyson@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Let me put it in terms a normie can understand. You show up to a game of pick up basketball (local league) and one person is wearing high heels (off meta) the second person shows up late, and the third person doesn’t know how to block a simple pass. How is that not gonna upset you?
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Okay you show up to a Sunday league amateur soccer match. You scream KYS to the ref, they red card you. Why you surprised?
beejboytyson@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Why isn’t the ref stopping the guy in high heels and a thong?

drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
What world do you live in where more people play basketball than online video games?
Even then, I don’t think there’s a way someone on my team could be so bad that I even raise my voice at them, much less verbally belittle them. Whenever I have a useless teammate I think “Damn, they must be new. I don’t think we’re winning this one.” And then I do my best and I have fun.
beejboytyson@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Did I say raise my voice? That’s how you’d react. Not I’m saying when people show up not ready ro play Damn right I’m going to let them know that’s inappropriate.
Godric@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This is easily the bougiest comment I’ve read in a while. What world might they live in, where more people play IRL sports than more expensive online games?
belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
If a low stakes game makes you so furious that you wish for someone to die, you should not be allowed to play these games.

FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Honestly, I’m not a fan of that sort of censorship.
I grew up in the Time Before Internet, and played all of the earliest online games. Trash talk is simply part of the experience as far as I’m concerned. On Team Fortress Classic, you had to abuse a motherfucker through text chat. And we loved it: everyone was enjoying that novel experience.
Back in the day of early COD on Xbox Live, lobbies were wild. Heck, even Uno subjected you to everything from ‘teach me slurs in your language’ to ‘random dude masturbating on camera while smoking a joint’.
I still play the occasional online game, but they’re boring and soulless. Very few people are on comms, as most seem afraid to actually talk. And with good reason; any sort of mildly spicy talk would get you banned on games. So instead of fostering a friendly atmosphere, from my perspective it ended up killing the entire vibe.
Let folks talk trash. Give as good as you get. And if that’s not for you? There’s other games to play.
LwL@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s not trash talk at all though. And even ignoring the language itself, trash talk is towards your opponents (where still most people don’t get how to do it in a non-obnoxious way, i.e. someone spamming ez after they win a game isn’t trash talk it’s being annoying). Most of the really bad flame happens towards teammates because everyone needs to blame someone else.
Irl sports get by just fine without people constantly being pieces of shit, I dunno why it’s so hard to apply that to online games.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 months ago
Trash talk is still acceptable.
Telling someone to kill themselves isn’t trash talk. Nor is using racial slurs, misogynistic, misandristic, homophobic or transphobic language.
octoham@lemmy.world 8 months ago
i fucking hate the “that’s how it is, go do smth else if you don’t like it” attitude. can we please acknowledge that online gaming would be overall more fun for everyone if people stopped being toxic towards each other?

‘Kys’ simply means ‘kisses’ in Danish. I refuse to read it as any other meaning.

I will never understand why the hell people tilt so hard for an online game. Aren’t free time activities supposed to be fun?
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
lots of online games are just outright badly designed, like having loads of abilities that literally just freeze you in place so you don’t get to play for a few seconds.
i was into overwatch when it was still an actual game and not a storefront, and my god there was sooooo much stuff that was obviously not acceptable for a game of that size and budget. I think the most egregious was roadhog’s hook that just didn’t care about time and physics, you could be grabbed behind walls and whatnot and of course that resulted in instant death too, because WHY NOT!
then you compare this to something like deep rock galactic, where it’s cooperative and “balance” is the player deciding how much of a challenge they want, and the devs specifically added a feature that lets you shout “rock and stone!” to build camraderie. You play that game and it’s just… fun? it’s just fun, it’s almost never frustrating at all, even if you get your ass kicked you just fucking try again and maybe lower the difficulty because you’re not quite good enough to take on that size of horde yet.
zeca@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
‘Fun’ and ‘chill’ are not the same concept. Fan things can be irritating, can make you excited and go through various emotions.

Album@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
The problem starts with these companies feeling obligated to police what you can say over chat. Just to be clear it’s advertisers and payment services that necessitate that. The whole thing about trying to force a “non-toxic community” is a gaslight.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Meh. Just mute people. That’s what I used to do when I played online. I understand emotions run high and people get frustrated, I’m not gonna let my sensibility and their bouts of idiocy (especially when the solution is so simple!) ruin their experience forever. And honestly, they’re probably just actual kids… I’m patient like that but I understand some people take things more to heart and whatnot.
