I often play with two friends online various games (whatever we feel like at the time) and sometimes (recently feels like it has become more) one of my friends just quickly says he’s done with the game for today when one bad thing happens to him either requiring us to find a new game or him just logging of for today.
Today we switched games like 2 times where in the first we died to an enemy player and lost our gear (wasn’t that good of gear) in the second game he got mad because I hid next to him and my other friend accidentally shot him instead of me (game was oh deer where players hide amongst NPC deer from a player hunter) and in the last game we played a prophunt game called witch it I danced Infront of his character in the last round and he didn’t manage to hit me (and it’s not like I was dominating him when I was hunter I wasn’t much better and faced the same abilities)
At last I told him after he left the voice chat that I won’t play factorio with him and if I should say "I don’t wanna play anymore" as I got kinda mad at him for not being able to ignore some (what I consider) mild annoyances especially when the next rounds could have been really fun again making him forget the bad rounds
Sounds like you like different games. He likes Factorio, you like prophunt games. Find other friends to play with. NAH.
Nah we all like those games. Me and the other friend also love factorio. Only issue is I somewhat recently played with the other friend and don’t feel like starting a new as the beginning always takes a long time and my friend ant be bothered to setup the server (he often does server for the games we’re playing) and the thing is we even once started factorio together but he was the first one to drop out while me and the other friend finished the game
Also I think was him that had the idea to play witch it together. The games aren’t the problem. We do enjoy them which is why we all own them
you see this on basketball courts, too. dudes that profess “I love playing basketball” but have a hissy fit when things don’t go their way.
your friend actually hates gaming but isn’t mature enough to have that conversation with himself.
These sort of people love winning not playing.
Not even watching.
I had to cut off a friend who left not even halfway through watching a baseball championship because his team wasn’t winning and mine was.
At the time, my team hadn’t won since before I was born and his team wins basically everything.
It ruined the vibes of everything. I don’t go watch the final match with him.
This year my team shit the bed to a different friends’ team and he got me a drink to “cry into”
And we both laughed
Sounds like your friend doesnt like losing and would rather will quit the game than to try again. NTA for calling him out on that.
If he gets mad, it just proves your point LOL
Came to say I bet this pissed him off
NTA Let him quit the game and leave. Don’t change games for him. He’ll either learn to keep playing or he won’t. And you’ll learn to replace him with someone else if he doesn’t learn.
NTA he sounds exhausting to play with. He’s not thinking about the people he’s playing with but about himself which is selfish and it sounds like he needs to work on his emotional regulation if gaming sets him off so quickly.
