I only play csgo with friends. And I have voice/chat turned off for nom-friends. People just get under my skin man. Sometimes I suck and sometimes i don't. Sometimes I'm slow and other times I make bad decisions. Other times I feel like a superstar with insane flicks thinking "I'm so getting reported for this".

I hate how people say "GG ez" after clutch games. Bad sportsmanship really became the definition of online gaming. :(

Even in games where they replace it with something else like "I'm insecure and ....". it's the same end result because people know what they said to get that result.

Honestly. I play video games to unwind for the day and I enjoy the thrill of competitive online games. I just only play online games with friends because everybody seems to be an absolute d*ck online.

Remember when you could make friends online? Pepperidge farm remembers.
