Is it the other players, because they beat you?
Is it you, because you chose to play the game?
Is it the game manufacturer?
It’s my teammates who don’t know how to fucking play
(Fucking Pokemon Unite, I hate you so much)
You cannot change the game, you cannot change others. The only one you can change is yourself, and thus the only time blame can be profitable is when pointed inward. Just remember: sometimes the mistake is in playing the game at all.
It’s an empowering philosophy.
The controller of course
There was too much lag!
Did you have fun? Nobody lost.
Did you play Monopoly? Everybody lost.
Why do you have to reducr it to one? Isn’t it simply all at the same time to varying degrees?
Well “choosing to play the game” is pretty all-encompassing
my team, duh… It’s never my fault. Nope, never. Never once.
My parents, for bringing a loser into this world
I’ve been told I should appreciate my parents for the non consensual wage slavery they chose for me. All to pay crippling living expenses that escalate despite the wealth of knowledge humanity has accumulated and the never before seen technological progression
Thanks mom and dad. Consider shooting up drugs for your hit of feel good brain chemicals next life and leave me out of it.
The vasectomy was the best thing i ever did for my unborn children. This pain of existence will end with me. Rest easy kids, you will not suffer these fools. You will not suffer this way of life.
Assuming your kids would be just as miserable as you is absurd.
Not really.
‘Mood disorders’ are highly heritable. Poor economic circumstances are highly heritable. Unhappy people who have children rarely cite them as the cure to their unhappiness. It’s very likely that, if an unhappy person had kids, they’d be unhappy too. Not a given, but more likely than not.
Lag
Me for starting the game. Losing is a part of life. We gotta live before we die.
I was thinking of this as a model of karma.
Simply put, you reap what you sow.
More complexly put, you choose your reality and a reality has various angles. So if you choose a reality (a videogame for example) where people fight, sometimes you will win and other times you will lose.
The reality of biology implies eating and being eaten. The reality of capitalism implies wealth and poverty. The reality of justice implies punishing and being punished. Etc
Or something like that.
If I am pubbing then teams are rando and often the mix of team players is more important than any one player’s individual skill.
Everyone else on my team but me
/woomi
Me. I suck at aiming.
I have not been defeated, I have been assisted. I lose nothing and gain valuable experience. I grow and challenge my opponent again, helping them to grow as well.
Me myself and I… Nah i’m kidding the other team was probably cheating /s
Its an interesting question. It depends how proficient you are in a specific game. In the higher skills you generally will lose because of your own mistakes, so you’ve beat yourself essentially. In the lower skills its far more random. Maybe the manufacturer does have the biggest impact in those cases regardless of who wins or loses.
