How do you react when you lose at a game?

i just try again

>playing games where you can lose

Failure states are not the fault of the player but the developer.

if i lose over and over again my urge to masturbate begins to grow to a level that is impossible to ignore, if I satisfy this urge and go back to what was giving me trouble i can use the short time frame where my mind is 100 percent clear of lust and overcome whatever was in my way

This, just try again and try to do better.
If it's a 1v1 game it's 100% on me and I just need to get better, if it's a team game it's not all on me but I still could have done more.

You can always improve and win the next time.

1. Try again to git gud
2. if i can feel anger rising i close the game and try again later

I start getting real pissed off. If I'm playing a multiplayer game then I call it quits here. If I'm playing a single player game then I keep going until I can't take it anymore. Every loss makes my rage and frustration build up even more. After losing maybe around 20 more times I usually just give up.

shout really loudly if i die because of terrible game mechanics.

Winning all the time is actually kinda dull and I'm not certain I'm even capable of losing.

You have shit taste

>>383774636
I have been going to college and lately been putting videogames aside. I don't play as nearly as much as I used to, which was all the time. I have 3 friends who I would game with online and they would always be better than me at most games, and would take them very seriously, so when I lose to them I get very frustrated by their shit talking. I feel like since I started college I haven't been able to keep up with them due to my own time constraints, so I've dropped multiplayer games almost altogether and just play single player games now.

If I'm playing a competitive multiplayer game I'm playing for fun so I don't really care

If I'm playing a ranked match in a competitive game I do become a bit of a try hard because I know people are depending on me but if I die I still don't really care

In singleplayer games I'll probably be calm or yell "FUCK" once or something, and get over it before trying again. I could get frustrated over repeatedly losing depending on how invested I am in the genre of game I'm playing, but I won't often become truly pissed.

In multiplayer games, pic related is me after losing more than 1/3 the time. If it's 50/50, I'll be annoyed but calm, but I'll get pissy if it dips below that. If I lose multiple games in a row, I will start yelling shit out in voice. Been trying to work on my explosive anger but it doesn't help that 90% of the time, even if people complain, me yelling at them to do shit works.

If they are in fact indisputably cheating, then they are no longer 'playing' the game, so you didn't lose to them. You can still critique yourself through the experience on how certain interactions could have been improved as if they weren't cheating.

I get frustrated as hell in fighting games when I repeatedly make mistakes or not performing as well as I know as I can. I see it affects my performance like a downward spiral, and I will make an ass out of myself, so I just stop, and if I really have an urge for the game, I'll hit training mode or just spectate some matches or high level play.

I usually just get pissed and stop playing. Hell, I was just playing overwatch and my team couldn't even capture the first point on Hanamura. I immediately just left instead of pointlessly trying to play out the defense round and just getting more annoyed. There's no point in sticking around and making yourself even more upset if you continue to lose.

when my little man perishes on screen I can't help but let out funny scream

>>383779565
I get mad in anything competitive if I'm mentally invested, yes. This includes videogames.

Well, I swear a lot during games that are very competitive like CS:GO and stuff. Sometimes I smash the table. Sometimes. But it's all just passion for the game I'm playing. When I chat, it's all praise because the person is just better at the game, time for myself to get better.

Depends on the game. A fighting game or platformer I can't put down until I completely get a combo, complete a certain stage, or win a game online.

But something retarded like an action game or RPG with RNG elements (like a """roguelike""") if I die to something retarded I'll get grumpy and completely stop playing the game for several days. Losing to luck is never fun.

When you have the habit of going out of your comfort zone, you will inevitably experience failures and learn to deal with feelings of disappointment. It's called being an adult, anon.

Just because you're mentally invested doesn't mean you can't recognize when it's trivial and doesn't warrant a strong emotional response.

If it's any other game, I try to think where I fucked up and just try again.

I either stay completely calm, or, if it was a tough challenge and I was very close to victory, maybe a short string of curses lasting a couple seconds. Either way I brush it off very quickly and try again.
