Is deriving joy from a video game also a sign of immaturity? After all, it's just a video game, right?
Athletes get upset over losses all the time. That doesn't make them immature. It makes them human. They're not robots. Now, obviously how you control your feelings is a different story all together. |

By extension, someone that gets upset over a loss in a video game is not mature.
I'm trying to figure out if you also apply this logic to someone that derives joy from a video game. Does your comment apply to ball games and wooden boards/pieces, or is only applicable to video games?
i'm trying to understand the extent to which you believe this. |

I think I addressed the aspect of joy from a video game in my previous post. It's neither and not even relevant to this thread.
Aside from that, the fact that I believe that being griefed by an alpha is like an adult being grieved by a child, is really just one opinion. No more valid or invalid than anyone else's. It's certainly not worth all the time spent in this thread analysing it. I'm no one special, so my view doesn't carry any more weight than anyone else's. It's just an opinion.
I understand. I'm not trying to be a ****. But I've heard in some form or other people express this sentiment without a proper defense for it and honestly, I can't make sense of it. That's all. I'm of the opinion it's OK to have feelings over a game. To me it's just natural.
And I agree with you regarding alphas. Though at times I'm sure they can get more annoying than usual. What works for me is not showing my feelings to those searching for negative reactions out of me. |
