>playing online shooter

>make whales mad
Works every time

does it make whales mad or does it let you imagine that it makes whales mad?

>playing online shooter
>use most expensive skins, nft worth thousands, limited time banner
>makes whales and poorfags mad
works every time

>Put on dedicated noob hat

I tried going default on every class including weapons and was vote kicked by tards thinking I was hacking.

>tfw played Alien Swarm co-op online back in the day just to get the tf2 hat (it was a pretty fun game actually)
>I also own a Genuine Officer's Ushanka because I bought the NECA Heavy action figure and redeemed the code that came in the box
Both of these methods of getting cosmetics are far more soulful and based than just opening a lootbox or spending shitloads of money

>>718053373
is that Phoenix's brother?

Why is everyone on the fucking internet so obsessively out to spot potential threats and so hell-bent on scrutinizing every single detail of someone's online and offline actions to find anything that they personally consider even slightly suspicious? What are these communities afraid of that makes them so fucking uppity to the point where they force us to approach all online social interaction from this mindset?

I'm joining BLU on this, bob looks strong

>>718054493
The alien swarm hat is pretty cool, my little bro has been trying to find a full game to play it for a while now.

>>718054665
I mean in TF2's case you've got people that were running bots for literal YEARS, trying to take over the game somehow.
It's undoubtable that people were discerning.
But if we're just talking about
>Hats you wear in tf2
It's a visual shorthand you can get for a player and their personality.
Except the more silly their outfit the more dangerous they probably are.
Like if you saw a Pyro running at you with googly eyes and a shoe on his head you need to fucking run.
But the Soldier with a flaming army helmet is probably shit at the game even though he's cheating.

>>718054665
On one hand it was taught religiously way back in the day to never use your real name or share personal information on the internet and to always use an alias.
On the other hand it was only in exceptional cases like the NEDM cat killer guy where people would track people down from their online information in order to bring them to justice. Now people just do it habitually simply because they can or just to punish people they don't like. Everyone is a little KGB informant ready to report dissenting statements and opinions to the lynch mob

A little bit also has to do with what people define as doxing inflating in what you have to do to gather data.

>>718055139
Like even though it's obviously something you shouldn't do, the fact that basically everyone uses a Chromium browser that can be id'd by google (Who has, and will sell your dox for like $5), because this is "public" "data", dishonest motherfuckers will say this isn't doxing.

lmao

As a Darktide player it can help to discern how experienced your fellow retards in the team are since people usually just equip whatever they've unlocked most recently. That being said level 30's with completely default stuff are likely to be Gregor the Sweatlord Carry madmen rather than newbies.

>>718057558
Also to continue the worst ones are people wearing shit you get at just reaching your first lvl 30, since they tend to think they got it now that they don't instantly die on Malice. Pure newbs can be planned for.

>>718053064 (OP)
i constantly get skin retards absolutely seething when they die/pick up my default skins slathered in expensive 2015 stickers in cs, all of which are scratched out. cs was such a boom to my steam account economy, i haven't payed full price for a game in 6 years AND got a free steam deck all because cases flew to asburd amounts of $$$

>Put gibus

Works everytime

"Intelligence picked up" is what makes it.

>>718053064 (OP)
you don't have enough skill to make me mad, the rare time that someone has skills on par with me I add them to my friends list. then again I just buy the cheapest shitty cosmetics so that everyone remembers who I am and plays like shit in a panic.

>>718062856
yeah, when the only player base for a game was super intelligent computer geeks in college on a T1 connection you had to get good on a hurry and adapt to constantly changing play strats, now every retard kid can play so servers are diluted with easy kills.

Congratulations anon. You grew up!
