I’ve seen tables flipped, tv sets punched through, furniture thrown. And that’s just in the home.

How does one get to a place mentally where burning and destroying things, over a sportsball game seem a reasonable thing to do?

    People who destroy things over computer game outcomes: Why?

    I’ve seen keyboards flipped, monitors punched through, controllers thrown. And that’s just in the home.

    How does one get to a place mentally where burning and destroying things, over a computer game seem a reasonable thing to do?

    More relatable?

      Ironically, the only game I’ve ever damaged my own stuff over was a sportsball game.

      Most games you fuck up due to your own incompetence, but football games and the like make you feel like you could do nothing wrong in a game and still lose. It’s infuriating.
