all of these cliché relationships where people don’t seem to understand basic forms of communication just confuse me. if you feel this way, tell them! If you don’t like something their doing, say something! this isnt highschool; it’s not a guessing game anymore, it’s people.

It’s always high school. Always has been, always will be. After generations of learning how to interact with each other in romantic contexts from media, what do you expect? Especially when we spend our formative years watching media that’s written to appeal to people in their formative years, you end up with a lot of people acting like poorly written characters because that’s how they learned to interact with each other.
Not to say that our generation is worse than previous generations, of course. Back then dudes didn’t know how to not hit their wives. Now we just don’t know how to talk. A marked improvement, I’d say
Back then dudes didn’t know how to not hit their wives.
A good manny still don’t know, until the wife/gf teach them, usually via reciprocal means. :-/
So many people going “opposite sex does X in relationships” and me just being like “you could stop dating people who do X” and they always look at me like I’ve sprouted horns. Like seriously, people who do X in relationships don’t need to be enabled to continue uncriticized
I’m really glad I was able to develop good communication skills in my life of work. When I just started out I made some pretty bad communication errors and I got to see the effects of the errors and learn from my mistakes.
Pretty much learned from the start to just never assume anything. If it’s important, say it even if you think the other party knows it already. Because at “worst” you just said something obvious but at best you realize there is a communication gap ASAP.
Bullshit.
All gamers ever say is shit like “it’s over here!!”, or “I’m here, dude!! Right over HERE.”
I’ll tell you, once we all find out where “here” is, the gamers will have nothing left to stop them from world domination.
Alas, the search continues…
There are two types of games. There are games where locations are unnamed, and there’s CSGO, where Hog Dog is an extremely specific place.
You’re playing with silvers
I played PUBG with a mate of mine back in the day. He was awful at communication. “THERE! I SEE SOMEONE!!”, he would shout into my ear after talking about boring stuff like DnD, which he loves. Then he’d die seconds after, and get pissy because I didn’t help him kill the other player.
That sounds fun.
Classic Pubg: “By the tree!”
it’s not a problem in CS at least, just look where he is on the minimap
Also people can definitely be passive aggressive playing competitive games.
My kingdom for a properly phrased contact report
You’ve never heard Goonswarm Comms. Utter chaos until someone utters the word “Check.” Then we all turn into pilots with complete comms silence except the guy calling for help and the fleet commander that gets to jump in to save the dummy.
Meanwhile, in Dead By Daylight, people have divided all maps in to numbered zones for this shit. Lazy gonna be lazy. Smart gonna be…
everyone going on about how gamers can’t communicate for shit, meanwhile deep rock galactic players INSTANTLY agree that the compressed gold must be pinged unceasingly until management shouts at you, with no verbal communication whatsoever.
We’re rich!
We’re rich!
Yes yes, we’re rich we’re rich. Now get back to work.
Also all gamers immediately Rock and Stone!
For Karl!
In houndreds or public matches I’ve played in CS over the years, maybe like 10 had teammates who all actually used callouts
I used to solo-queue almost exclusively. Almost always every teammate communicated. This was like 5+ years ago though, so maybe things have changed. I also frequently initiated the communication and kept things going and didn’t get mad at people, so that all helps too. From my experience, be nice and communicate and general the same will be returned, but against this was a while ago.
(I’m assuming CS is Counter Strike, and not like competitive multiplayer Cities Skylines or something.)

“Natural disaster, meteor from northwest, prepare fire fighters!”
100% of them called out that they fucked my mother though.
Who hasn’t?
I’ve been exclusively queueing Office since CS2 dropped and most people know the call outs. Idk what it is about that particular map. (Dust2 is okay too)
Anyone you meet on office has likely never played a different map and therefore knows everything about it.
Source: am office player
I could never figure out the built in callouts… Anytime I played with the bots in CS:GO, they would always do callouts and I’m pretty sure they’re just baked in, but I have no idea where, or how to use them.
Those are displayed on your minimap. Some of them are used by players, and players will know what you mean anyway, but most position calls by players are different from those. They’re also frequently regional, so there can be many calls for a single position. They’re pretty much always one or two syllables, and usually there’s a few similar ones that appear on many maps. Cat, for example, is any catwalk (the most important one on the map if there are multiple). Heaven/Hell is any raised or lowered area respectively, usually with Hell just below Heaven.
You just have to listen to people and ask if you don’t know them, maybe also watch some professional matches as the casters also usually use the most common calls for that language.
Thanks for the insight. I appreciate it.
As someone who has played ranked FPS’ since… they existed (sigh), and the number of times I had a male teammate throw a tantrum and then refuse to make callouts is… Probably in the hundreds. From QTF to CS to TF2 to Apex…
During a CAL-im match, Dan? Really, Dan?
Oh yeah, even with friends. Everyone in my discord has had a good sook at the others. “I thought you were with me!” proceed to scatter like cats yet again with everyone ‘leading’
Everyone is the leader, and zero people are following. Gg everyone.
QTF
we got a fossil over here
(I’m too young to have played Quake when multiplayer was a thing ;-; but I do speedrun it)
I have fond memories of playing Doom via a null modem cable
Quake Multi-player is still alive with the remasters that were released recently.
I’ve tried it and I had a lot of fun with it at release, but the queue times for matchmaking got unreal (pun intended) pretty quick. I mainly play Half-Life and Quake Live now but it’s not quite the same
(but HL1’s multiplayer is the bomb tbh, just a lot of servers are dead)
Yep, I have very fond memories of HL1 multiplayer, also there were SO many HL1 mods that were just incredibly fun.
Ah yes, “wife bad”, a staple of boomer humor.
This was more “guys bad. Nuh, uh, girls bad.” Everyone getting dunked on in this one.
Maybe it was the communication issues we gained along the way.
It’s a response in kind to a equally dumb comment.
The original comment is massively generalist so the response is equally generalist.
I don’t know, I read the original meaning, believe they’re capable, in rebuke to the stereotype men just *can’t do anything, so don’t even try, like they’re incapable toddlers, or something. To me it was a cheeky way of taking a shot at that thinking, that men aren’t capable.
Clearly the respondent hasn’t played LoL.
30% positive communication, 70% ending life long relationships over a missed gank
The built-in “storm the front” and “go go go” voice buttons is all we needed.
Love is…
…to be communicated via MW2 lobby lingo.
This meme is veiled misogyny.
