There’s something genuinely special about this kinda stuff- gaming now is about just being better than everyone else, but nobody just wants to have fun. Watching him rage about dying to a boss is funny and relatable, but watching a professional gamer smash his expensive equipment over dying to some kid just makes them look so spoiled. I love this so much, he brings the fun back into video games

[@jakec.1136]

PvE > PvP

[@connyslayer4661]

I definitely agree, i always find it very interesting and enjoyable when i see videos like this. Gaming right now is pretty damn amazing and people who want to actually have fun have lots of fun and many people don't understand this. Gaming is supposed to be fun, enjoyable, entertaining and always a great time. Watching him rage in a funny way is a very funny and relatable plus he was raging and he was having a great time. He was not throwing a fit and getting pissed off destroying things around him. He is thankful for what he has and he is not acting spoiled like many other out there. He reminds me of why i love video gaming so much in general. He does bring back the fun into video games and i enjoy and appreciate it very much.
