In every game. Nothing specific. Everyone higher than me is a sweat, everyone below is stupid.

    I prefer me the multiplayer environment of Fromsoft games where it’s just absolute degeneracy and your own damn pride on the line. Where the sweat and the stupid blurs.

    I climbed to gold once in StarCraft 2 by worker rushing every single game. I still have no idea how to play an RTS competitively. I was inspired by reading this hilarious blog post back in the day of a guy hardstuck in plat that decided to just worker rush until he was bronze

    Besides cheesing in SC2, I’m gold 2 in Overwatch mostly because I’m comfortable with fps games and I try to plug in whatever gaps our team has. I only voice comm constructive things. The second I get a team where it’s just complaining I mute and try to win without voice comms. If I lose 3 games in a row that’s it, I take a break.

    Honestly, it’s the right image for both. At least for team based games. The first thing that comes to mind are unpleasent people when I hear ladder.

    I used to play and I know it’s a time sink, but Eve Online is so open ended, that you do you and know one gives a fuck about any ranking system.

      Greetings, dear friend!

      I’m working on what I’d call a spiritual successor to EVE - very early in development still. That open-ended design is what made EVE special, and it’s something I want to push even further!

      We also have a Lemmy instance! (even though no one uses it yet) :)
