    So my transition from cringe lord to become a better individual overall is actually just me getting better at video game? Fair enough

      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. So it makes sense to me at least that some people wouldn’t stop playing until Microsoft or Bungie or whoever made them.

        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.

        My 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).

        It sucked so hard for the first 4 years that I didn’t start playing it again until 2018 when they sorta fixed it.

    I 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.

    “but behaved more submissively towards players with a male voice” I want to know what they mean by submissive

    Obligatory 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.
