Like... you were trying to win too? Was I just supposed to put the controller down and take a swig of mountain dew so you can get a full combo off of me? Dumb insult tbh

Sweaty can be an accurate insult towards people who take the game far too seriously.

Ironically, people who use the insult are generally the sweaty ones.

Yeah I get that but like, everyone is trying to win in ranked? It's basically just an excuse to be like "oh I wasn't actually trying". When they obviously were.

I'm either drunk or high half the time which is the other thing lol. I'm not even that competitive, I think if you care enough to message someone this stuff on PS5 then you're probably the one who cares too much about winning

Also I know you guys are just joking and I'm taking this too seriously but i gotta get this shit off my chest lol

I like when you face a team of sweaty tryhards and they start stomping and beg you to surrender. Obviously, you don't surrender and drag the game on as long as possible after that, just to waste their time and mess with their stats. Always a good time to try some new and/or ridiculous strategies.

Yeah that's how it seems. I'm pretty new to playing competitive games online so it's always weird when I have a close and exciting match that I thought was really fun, win or lose, and then get hate mail afterwards. Sometimes they're good for a laugh though

Actually that made it click for me, when I'm playing something like Warzone or Fall Guys or whatever with friends we just shoot the shit 90% of the time and only really start to focus on the game somewhat when things get intense, and even then we're just playing for fun and not taking it too seriously. But I could definitely see how you could have a "sweaty" squad that's trying to play optimally, only communicating pertinent information and stuff like that. Sounds boring lol

The only real competitive games I take somewhat seriously are fighting games, which I was thinking of when I made the topic. Because in that case you really have no reason not to be trying, since it's not really a social thing when you're playing a rando in ranked

My best gaming memories are my friends and I goofing around in Black Ops 1 and Uncharted 2 while just steamrolling match after match for hours. We'd look at the scoreboard halfway through the match and go "Wow when did that happen?"

It's the eternal defense of the underachiever. You're "trying too hard" or "sweaty". They're of course very relaxed and don't give things their all, content with telling themselves that if they had tried, oh if they had cared they could have done just fine. Great even. But it's a fear of failure that stops them. Why care? Why try hard and risk losing after putting so much of yourself into something? So much easier to say, "Well I could have if I tried."

And you know what? They're right. You're right. If you try you can accomplish wonderful things. I'm not here to insult people but celebrate them. We can accomplish wonderful things if we allow ourselves to try, to fail and to try again, yes sometimes to even "get sweaty"

Unless you're cussing people out on Xbox live or something, then you should just relax, it's a game after all. ;)

That's you. For someone at Ninja's level, and even more so for competitive gamers competing at tournaments, it's more than "just a game."

I see too many good gamers self-deprecate about the fact they are good at a game because people look down on you for being good at games, yet won't look down for being good at so many other things. We're long past the days where games were just time-killers, games create thousands of careers a year. Even my favorite game ever, the simple, 1p-mainly Super Mario Odyssey, single-handedly created hundreds of careers for gamers, and even more behind the scenes. The ones who made it are the ones who became good at it, and treated it more than "just a game."

Makes more sense in a situation like being DPS in an MMORPG. If you're "sweaty", then you're doing everything you can to squeeze in as much damage as possible, up to and including using unorthodox methods and screwing over the people you're playing with, all so your parse numbers will be a little bit higher than they would be otherwise.

Times have changed. I remember try hard being the insult used for this.

I got called it a abit on street fighter 3. I wasn't even that good. All the high level players either where playing 4 or stayed in private lobbies cause ranked wasn't challenging enough for them

I beat the number 1 ranked guy. I know there isn't a game out there I'm good enough to beat the world's best

There's a difference though. It's playing with only winning in mind. Meaning rage quitting if you're losing, using all the meta setups, jumping around like felonious bolus, and generally being not very fun to play against.

I think I got called try hard cause I'd play mind games. I'd taunt anytime I knew it was safe to do so. Most people you could see them grow more aggressive and theirfore sloppy. That and I always tried my best to win by a super even if I ended up taking a bit of damage attempting

you think Kobe raged when he lost a game? Flipped out, cussing, and holding a grudge on people?

Pro basketball is still just a game, and in the end its sports entertainment, because its a fun passtime

Umm.... Players rage all the time when they lose or perform badly. No, I'm not justifying going berserk mode, but there's nothing wrong with taking a game seriously.

I mean, if you're intentionally being obtuse on the quote, it's sad. I swear, CE sometimes ignores nuance on purpose.

No, I don't agree with the latter, that was an ignorant quote.

And Kobe, did in fact, get pissed off because humans have the right to get mad about things they are passionate about. I could lead to much angrier players across all sports too. Baseball players will break their bats in frustration all the time and get into heated arguments constantly.
