Getting agressive to the devices

[BlueFox gui]

Not me but my uncle broke my GBA SP in 2 halves, because I said a swear word during a game.

Moral of the story: If your parents are near, do not rage in video games.

my mom don't break my things... i guess but she would break me 'u'

 

[VinsCool]

my mom don't break my things... i guess but she would break me 'u'

Oh I don't get my stuff broken unless I "deserve it" apparently

Someone here had actually acted like this sometime? I mean, do you get mad and physically relieve the frustration on it?
It common when using a device like computer, or playing something, we get mad, or with a very dumb nonflexible person to don't see to get the point you wnat to show them (or is trolling you ...), a game we are very concentrated but everything went wrong or something...
For me... I'm kinda of a temperamental person ... I don't usually get mad but when I get I lost the control (not intentional pun XD)
But by "relieve the anger/frustration" on devices I have some histories...
the first one I can remember, not very well, was my first tamagochi, probably an bootleg of rakuraku dinokun... I'm not sure if I was mad because I could not make it evolved different, some other defect or my older bro were teasing me or something else but I throw it on floor few times and it broke the LCD screen... OTL rip dinokun
I don't remind why but I also throw some few times (not sequential like with dinokun) my snes and n64 controllers but no issues with this, probably I had damaged the floor
Other way I really broken in part my computer keyboard ( an cheap one so not a loss) playing Grand Chase.. I wasn't that salty but it not being able to do what I wanted even messed with me and it gave an worse loss I gonna tell soon ... I was giving my keyboard some punches times in times, matches in matches, have some key that broke apart glued and one time (actually in a discussion the guy don't really looked like was reading what I was typing ...)it just broke it that was really easier buy a new one and take more care (also damaged the table and the chair in the process ... good that now I have a nice new table! yay XD)
And the one that hurt me most... my old 3DS ... one time I got angry playing smash online that I just closed it with too much force and gave it a punch .. opened again and " an error occurred restart the console" , but it never turned on again .. I still trying to revive, and not giving up it but not much success (I haven't admitted really what I did there because I was full of shame but anyway ...) at least now I discount punching my leg instead, and I learned a lot of the o3DS inner anatomy /run
Ok, I should really stop playing fighting games competitively OTL
Well, but I know I'm not alone here, some friends here had destroyed ps4, even game cube controller by similar problems, but if something you are playing are letting you mad, the best idea is stop and do something else!
But, well, this happens. Do you also have some similar histories to share?

i once threw a usb stick at the floor. i retried some sort of shitty xbox 360 hack like 20 times and it got corrupted every time, i got pissed, threw it at the floor and stepped on the usb part. i had to use a flathead screwdriver to unbend the head so i could use it. it still works but the shell is fucked up.

THIS is showing violence LOL

Shingeki no USB, amirite?

 

[JFlare]

I think I destroyed my DSlite from anger at a few games.

 

[linuxares]

I just usually smack my desk when I'm angry. I think I just destroyed a worthless controller that was glitching (cheap POS from China).

Isn't that called "Custom" today? xD

I one threw a GCN controller against the wall, it flung back at me.
From that day onwards I learned to not be a barbarian.

 

[tetrabrik]

I haven't actually broken anything, but only because I deliberately throw the controller at the couch. Not very often, but I remember this certain boss in Dark souls 2... good/bad times...

my kid though just last month threw an older ipad in rage, hit the wall sideways and made a good dent in the drywall, shattering the tablet's screen. this was caused by mario run. we no longer play that.

Did you make them pay for it out of their allowance? :-p

I am "professional," you can take my word for this. When something doesn't work, a good yelling in German in a gentle beating helps make it work better. This is a "fact" and you can trust me because I am "professional."

 

[smf]

I was brought up to look after my stuff, so I am more likely to get upset if I broke something than break something because I was upset.

I'm also and it let me on that circle when lost of control happens ...

 

[VzUh]

I am too poor to break my expensive things lol

...but my father broke like six among the years

 

[sarkwalvein]

I must admit that while doing Momodora 4 on insane, I've had a couple of times when I wanted to throw the controller out the window.
Hmmm... Nope, I remember many times when I really felt the urge to destroy a controller/console/PC, but I can't remember breaking one.

Perhaps there has been one that I don't remember, I mean, if I have felt the urge so many times I must have slipped once.

haha it didn't occur to me at the time but I should've, just like my dad used to do when we broken windows as kids.

though my kids' allowances mostly go towards videogames and amiibos, both things I also generally want, so it's in my best interest to keep their allowances fat

 

[vinstage]

I've never really felt the need to, sure I've gotten frustrated but I've never broken anything.

 

[DeoNaught]

usually when my stuff breaks its from dropping it.

While the amiibos thing may speak to something if your kids pick games you want to play you are a lucky man indeed. A batting average of 50% good would be an improvement if my friends with kids are anything to go by.
