My therapy is simple: you have two options.

1: You dedicate yourself entirely to the game, channeling that passion into becoming completely unbeatable.
2: You give up FA until you're in a better mental state.

#1 will probably be easier. HFGL. :)


my point exactly, this is the worst place to get advice ;)

It's not a case of me wanting attention, I just can't understand how a game can make me break my own possessions that I have spent money on. I haven't done anything like that since I broke my old craptop back in 2010. At least it shows I don't want to rage at people anymore than I want to break my own keyboard...I just can't help it :P


it feels like you're trying to get a therapy out of this forum though. Not sure this is the best place ;)

I was frustrated with myself for not spamming t1 frigs like my life depended on it to counter his destroyers. Anyway, this is the game on Last Oasis (24 mins) just for reference:
2982295-Flynn.fafreplay
Because I had lost nearly all of my other games that day, despite feeling like I played well in those, I raged quite hard and snapped my keyboard in half:
P1010003.JPG
I agree with what -_V_- says, I am sick as this is definitely not the behaviour of someone sound of mind. The rage I felt after that game was incandescent. It was everything, nothing else mattered, just the rage.

This morning I went straight out to buy a new keyboard. I did consider waiting until Wednesday night where I would be going into town anyway, but I knew I wouldn't be able to cope without having use of my computer (it is my life), so I had to get a solution on it as soon as possible. Unfortunately due to only having a 5 hour week contract for work I am on FAF far too often, I think it is time for a break although I do like to leave on a high.

I have watched so many casts, streams, lessons, to get better and played nearly 2k games now so I feel like with the time invested I should be better than average and I am just not, I know I have to accept that, but I can't. It is only a game but there is nothing else that can quench the thirst for strategy in life.

Maybe not literally, your previous post hints to that directly.


And again...
Should we consider u didn't lose the yet even if ur acu git stripped naked from anything, but its still solely alive?

Should i consider it a win if i'm obviously losing the game and then suddenly my opponents gets a disconnection?

Yes and yes.

If I were to take your point V. Then I would able to be rightfully upset for all those times I won the battle but lost my ACU to some lame snipe. There have been many games when I had earned a victory. Sometimes the other player even says I earned it. Usually I'm quite upset with those outcomes. But, I always need to remember that killing the ACU is the name of the game.

Anyway, it wasn't a d*** move. The question I posed was whether he was willing to win at any cost (including the missing of New Year's celebrations IRL). He was, so he got his victory.

There are many situations when people might feel entitled to rage. But this isn't one of them. So you'd soundly beat him on the field. Are you going to rage just cause he doesn't bend over and let you take him up the arse? Most players like to prolong the end with a valiant defence. It gives a certain kind of satisfaction. Mounting a good defence makes them feel better about loosing.

It actually reminds me of a particular match during New Years Eve. The other player had taken out most of my navy and air force. Then after nuking my base twice he says he has to go. He didn't want to miss the new years eve celebration. Then he somewhat rudely asked if I could give up. I asked why he didn't quit himself considering that he needed to go. To which he said that I should quit, because, he was quite obviously winning... You can guess my response. :roll:

I think some people need to understand that winning a game not an entitlement to victory. There is no obligation for the other player to fall on their sword for you. The object of the game is to kill the ACU, and if you haven't done that, you haven't won.


Epic d*** move , from u.

Sorry , what ? Lol

Quite wrong, to me at least. But i do play a superior game setup i.e. Full share :D
You win the game not because u killed one unit, but because u made ur enemy incapable of stopping your offensives and he's unable to do a miraculous snipe.
Should we consider u didn't lose the yet even if ur acu git stripped naked from anything, but its still solely alive?
Sounds retarded.

Should i consider it a win if i'm obviously losing the game and then suddenly my opponents gets a disconnection?

I used to rage a LOT when I was really into a competition spirit on FA. To the point where I couldn't sleep after losing a game I shouldn't have, or having dreams and reliving the game as if I was IN the game. Retarded and scary lol. But IRL always catches up and makes you realise, ... "who gives a f***" ? :). Even a nice peperroni pizza, and then you're back to realising, it's not important :)

But if we're back to gaming only


I felt I had played really very well

This is probably a big problem. I have never seen you play, and I don't think I need to, to guess that you're hardly playing very well. You need to accept that.
Again not trying to be bitchy there. I remember that I used to rage a lot because I lost to some specific players when I thought I played well, but I ended up realising , sometimes months after, that they were just better ).

Note though that rage can be VERY useful to get better. It was for me, on several occasions :)

not wanting to play psyhchology here, but given what Flynn is saying, I'm not sure investing deeper into the game is the right advice. Going out, subscribing to group hobbie/sport/theatre/whatever might be of more help ....
(sorry for being captain obvious, I know it's not always easy)
