Breaking Controllers

While true in a lot of situations you can't really use a blanket statement like that. Some people are dealing with mental health issues and have less control. I have crippling anxiety to the point I need to get up hours in advance to prep myself for leaving the house to go to work and it comes across as rage a lot. If I don't take my medication for a few days something I'll usually laugh off and just be like "man I suck" will make me want to put my head through the wall. -

I'm no doctor, but I would stray away from things like video games that got frustration and angst etched into their very DNA though.
That's the real danger of marketing stuff to people under false pretenses. They believe the hype and when it's not what they expected..sometimes bad things happen. There have been many a law suit.
Good luck, and I really hope things start going better for ya.

a lack of emotional control - poor emotional intelligence - that is what throwing controllers is all about - doesn't matter what the game if you can't control yourself like a wild animal
That's a little heavy my friend.
Better to throw a controller than throwing punches at family members or the pets. That's my opinion anyway.
Don't typically get that way over video games though. More fun to let that anger seep out through the poison pen. But, to each his own.
oh jesus - imagine punching your own family and those who you love? of course throwing a controller is better, my point was that one should never get to that in the first place
im not judging anyone here or being rude, just some casual observations on a wed

Jesus Luzardo broke his hand playing a video game, right? Imagine being his opponent in a BR or RS game that made him do that.

@TheHungryHole
No worries, I took no offense to your post and agree that most people who constantly break controllers are under the category you described. Just a friendly reminder that it's not all of them. -

Never throw punches at those that live with you and can set you on fire in your sleep.
Believe Aristotle or Socrates or one of those cats said that..I'm just passing it on.

The edibles statement bring a whole new light to your posts.
Just because I hallucinate doesn't mean what I post isn't the God's truth.
Exactly what every junkie I know says. And I know a lot, I live in Amsterdam.
Wham bam, Oh Amsterdam!
Stone you like nothin' else can!Anyone?
No Van Halen fans? Shame. Sammy Hagar is my favorite musician of all time.

Edibles and a bowl makes us junkies now?

I'm not sure that's possible in a fit of rage unless you have a hammer in your hand.
From first-hand experience, I can tell you that if you spike it onto a hard floor, it can shatter into multiple pieces. I'm not proud that I know this.
When I was younger I learned this playing NHL. Then I learned to spike it on a bed or couch beside me. Then one day I spiked it onto my bed, right onto my phone laying there. I had to replace a phone I'm still somewhat fond of.
Never tossed a controlled again.

Eating edibles and being a junkie aren't remotely the same thing.

There are times after being 30 seconds late on a 9000 MPH Degom fastball I have indeed contemplated throwing my monitor out the third story window. So far I have held back the urge, but it is getting hard.
Yeah, but at least it wasn't over 9000!!!
I'll see myself out now. -
Ain’t got no time for breaking controllers….. need my money for Mary Jane

It was a joke. But yes, there's some truth in it. Sorry.

Maybe not. But one has to start somewhere, and its always the same start. But either way it was just a silly joke, everyone should do what they want. I assume these people are adults and they live in states where it's legal. So it's not that big of a deal I guess.

Bruh - how do you play on eddies?
Love playing after a J but eddies is a whole different ballgame

Speaking of animals, what is the alternative?
Smack my cat? Spray RAID on my roaches?🤪
Toss my new PS5 out the window?
Throwing controllers is fine

I hear ya but the Mary Jane gets a bad rap in this regard. Those that struggle with addiction will lead themselves down a dark path if not careful. They will abuse anything they get their hands on, and since the devil's lettuce is the easiest to get ahold of, especially at a young age, that's where they logically start. They were going to end up where they do one way or another. So no, it is not a gateway but an innocent bystander in one's own personal demise.
