I'm sick of it all, Holla Forums. What are some games to play when you're angry?

Like, so sick of the bullshit in your life, from other people and from the world at large that you just need to take it out on some pixels?

I hire a male prostitute and he pounds me furiously.

Doom at the loudest volume

The first Prototype. Theraputic as fuck plowing through crowds of people, curb stopping them, carrying them up to top of a skyscraper to fucking baseball pitch them into a distant building.

I pray for an active server on Delta Force 2 that pops up.

Was the second one decent? Did they improve on anything?

Euro Truck Simulator 2.

I hate this era of "gaming"
i hate that the wii u/switch, ps4, xbone have no memorable library of games
when we go 20 years from now and look back at this shit era, we wont want to go back and revisit these shit games
they're so fucking disposable

Hitman 2, Blood Money, or Contracts. There's always a level with a ton of civilians you can slaughter, and unlocking an LMG first always makes it a satisfying massacre.

Killing virtual people never does anything for me when I get like that. Play something cute and/or comfy to unwind or get yourself to a punching bag if you need to vent. Alternatively, drink yourself to sleep.

The answer is: Absolutely nothing
Relieving stress by playing games is a fucking meme, a much-spouted one that has no basis in reality. If you're angry throw some things that are safe to throw and punch some shit that is safe to punch. Nothing else will feel satisfying

Good times.

Not really, people just stay angry as long as they're smashing shit because they're focused on being angry. There's a reason all of those "smash shit therapy" places quickly closed, none of them helped.

Games you remember fondly from your childhood (7-13 years old)

Wrong. Video games are escapism and, by design, divert your emotional attention from whatever you're mad at. The best thing is to play something hard, get mad at the game, and take a break to let the anger dissipate entirely, but even the satisfaction of victory helps greatly.

You're an idiot. You don't intellectually work through your feelings. Intellect and feelings are two entirely separate things for the most part.

Working out your aggression builds cardio. Don't want the goyim to have good lungs?


You're supposed to do it until you run out of energy. There is a reason people get real into fitness out of nowhere after break ups.

This where you lose me. Games can sometimes make me mad when I lose (mostly when it's due to some bullshit reason like RNG or something) but when I win I feel nothing because it's just a fucking game. There's no sense of satisfaction or accomplishment or anything for me, even in multiplayer. When I win I just feel ever so slightly less angry.

You're probably past a certain age or just don't play games that are hard enough.

It actually is possible to soothe your anger intellectually, by training yourself to understand it well enough that logic will triumph over any instinct to give in to primal emotion. You'll find yourself rarely becoming angry to begin with and you won't resort to punching things like a retarded meathead. Furthermore, you can actually be happy when you work out and not associate the activity with something negative.

Be the change you want to see, user. Find the nearest synagogue and go postal on the kikes

Look man, when muhammed is raping your wife, or you're so buried in debt that there's no way out, come and talk to me about "intellectually working through it."

Furthermore, working out aggressively doesn't associate it with anything negative unless you injure yourself spazzing out like a retard.

Use aggression where it's useful. Internalizing it causes aneurysms.

You're assuming I'm not? You mistake being truly in control of the anger for suppressing it. These are two different things. You're talking to a person who had serious anger issues for years. You may not realize it or want to admit it, but throwing a fit every time something pisses you off is the thing that will really pop a blood vessel one day.

depends on what i'm angry about. when I'm angry at someone else, Hitman, Doom, Serious Sam, Painkiller and other games where you can slaughter are great stress relievers.

when I'm angry at the world, building games like Dwarf Fortress or Terraria where I can build my own perfect world are great

when im angry at myself (depressed) no games really seem to help. that's when I go to the gym or reach out to someone.

Can concur, at least the first level anyways. It's not just funny in how absurd the level of violence is, but cathartic too.

I personally found The Godfather 2 to be really cathartic as well…there's just something about being able to choke people to death at any time anywhere with your bare hands that's…weirdly pleasant to me.

Did a modding community ever spring up for this game? I want to paint virtual San Fran red.

Never played it, but the protag was an annoying black guy who swore all the time. Didnt feel the need to play it.

Second was horrible. Ruins all of the charm of the first and makes you play a stereotypical nigger and has a plot that makes no fucking sense on multiple levels.

You've said enough that I'm just going to assume that you're right and ask for a source on what you've read about it.


The plot in the first one never made sense to begin with.

To you, maybe. If you did the whole web of intrigue it wasn't very hard to figure out, but 2 shit on it.

I thought the second one was a bit better than the first one, actually. Few additions and it looks a bit better. And having Mercer as the antagonist was kind of neat. Not a bad game. Nothing spectacular, but good for some mindless rampaging.

What worked for me won't necessarily work for you, but Seneca helped a lot, as well as learning to meditate. For me. my anger came from feeling disrespected or being disregarded. I don't know what sets you off.

I bet that guys throat hurt like fucking hell the next morning. Unless that's a regular thing for him and his vocal cords are used to it.

He fucking sucks at it if it's a regular thing. I've done better autistic screeching for longer.

Said the faggot who flies into an autistic physical rage instead of solving problems.
You do if you’re not autistic.
Which is why you don’t allow the latter to subsume the former.
Try harder, you stupid faggot.

The worst thing about you is that when you’re picked off at 2200 meters by myself or anyone else who knows how retarded you are, we won’t know it was YOU, personally, who died at that very second. We won’t fly into an autistic rage because we won’t know it’s you we killed, but we’ll feel passingly bad about it.

What can stocism do for me that eastern philosophy cant?

I tried to get through Marcus Aurelius' meditations but the content was too thicc.

Stoicism sounds like it was written by a man who had learned to accept that his wife would never stop nagging.

Doesn't not being angry about shit take away your drive?

Did I miss something? I played the shit out of that game, and the plot was always shit. They set it up like it was this big mystery that the zombie virus came from somewhere but shit is progressively getting worse in game the more you fuck about.


Why do you do this? I'm clearly talking about directing your anger towards fitness goals with the intention of depleting your energy in a cathartic way.

Why even build such a shitty strawman?

i dunno, postal, i guess

Huh?
Seneca was banished to live in a small shack for almost two decades where he starved himself.


I still get angry and I still throw fits. I'm just saying you can diminish it and continue to diminish it. Stoicism may not speak to you. You need to find writers you can relate to to help you logic away irrational emotion. There is not general solution. It will be specific to you.

OP here. I lift, but there's only so much drama you can lift your way through in life.

I was inspired to make this thread when going through one piece of fiction too many where they show a villain being an insufferable cunt who you just can't touch. Sure, you can say this is them doing their job right, but it caught me at an IRL weak point too, so now I've just got rage. Rage that I'd like to take out on fuckers who deserve it and make them pay.

Funnily enough, I ended up just playing Snake Pass while listening to a podcast on Trump and Syria instead. Felt…therapeutic, playing a platformer that comfy. I still wish there was a good brawler or something I could pummel a cunt who deserves it in, though.

I can't focus on vidya when I'm angry. I only play ultra-violent video games when I need a laugh.

I fuck my boyfriend :3c

...

what's it like to be happily gay? I'm jealous

You just gotta realize that being flamboyant doesn't mean being pathetic and weak. Watch JoJo - Dio is a big time faggot and at some point had a gay nigger priest for a boyfriend, yet he's a manipulative apex predator.

I personally get by with a scepticist philosophy and realize that nobody really knows anything, so by all known measures you are worth precisely as much as anyone else. I'm also an epistemological and moral nihilist, though, so that probably makes things easier for me. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just narcissistic sociopath and I found philosophies that matched that approach, rather than the latter producing the behavior of the former.

Chicken and an egg, I guess. Anyhow - the trick is to take a hard look at what you're given and exaggerate it to the point where whatever characteristics you have turn into apparent strengths.

"pssh, nothing personnel kid"

There's nothing edgy about that. Nihilism is logical conclusion to scepticism. "Epistemological and moral nihilist" means "in all honesty you can't prove anything to be true (and that includes conventional morality)"

I don't know why you think that's edgy. It doesn't mean I go around kicking puppies, it just means that I don't go around labeling shit according to whatever doctrine fits my views, and that I keep an open mind to things.

I think you are in the wrong place.

Postal
GTA, just run shit over.
Brutal Doom
Rapelay

I play old Harvest Moon games to escape reality, petting chickens… smashing rocks… and giving the girl I think is best gems and flowers is a great way to numb the pain

Easiest way to show you're a newfag fresh from cuckchan. Cuckchan doesn't play games, we do, faggot.

And I bet you have a wicked sense of humor.

driving sims can be pretty comfy.

...

My go-to game to play when I'm stressed is usually Doshin the Giant. I just terrorise the islanders and it soothes me.

when i'm angry, i take painkillers, drink, smoke, eat terrible food, and turn on some vidya while i casually browse violent porn on a laptop. or just shitpost on Holla Forums. but my rage usually doesnt last long before it turns into depression.

I play Dustforce.

For me it's surfing on CSS or CSGO. Something about turning on some music and going fast is relaxing to me.

calling samefag on these posts

your steam review appears on the front page of "most helpful reviews"

are you a shill?

dont know about 1st guy, but im not a shill… i dont play driving simulators because i drive all fucking day irl. but i saw that webm a long time ago and kind of saw the appeal of games like that in that webm.

someone in the thread was posting autistic amounts of videos like that. thats the only one i saved. maybe i have another one floating around somewhere…

Funnily enough, I forgot how comfy Final Fantasy VII could be. I have to play it again when I have time in other words once I'm suitably through my current backlog.

(1)

I just boot up Burnout Paradise and drive around the city. I usually care little for cars, but that game has something about it that just feels great.

I prefer html myself

Harvest moon is one of my favorite childhood games, but I can't play it without being reminded everything good about my life is in my past. Not good for escapism

What are some good & fun video games that make you forget about how shit video games have gotten? Even old vidya looks shit to me now.

For some reason the in-game radio is broken for me. Has been for more than year now. Uninstalling does nothing and no one on the steam forums were any help. I tried setting up some custom radios in the stream file, but those don't work either even though they work fine on their own.

I can easily listen to my own music, but damn it, using the in-game radio was half the charm for me.

I don't know, man. That just seems like something Jaden Smith would say.

Can't

I play with youre momma butthole

That may be true for you, but not for everyone.

Outside of a couple meme mods, no.
