Gamer culture generations "pwned vs rekt"
Back in my day, to make a ironic comment about how much better you were than Someone else in a game you would say "pwned" and call them a "noob"
Now everyone is like "Rekt" and "scrub" or "squeaker"
We used to ironically call people "L337" now they say things like "MLG" and "OP"
We didn't have lag switches, but we had "wall hacks" and "aim bots"
How else is your gamer culture changing from what it used to be to what it is now?
Ps this post was so hard to type on my phone due to all the autocorrect spelling my phone tried to make.
Edit: struck a very small and tender nerve with this thread. My app keeps sending me notifications non-stop

4 回覆I think people have just become lazy over the years. When I first jumped into online gaming with Unreal & then, Unreal Tournament/Quake III, I don't even think 1337 speak was a thing yet. I do believe that started with MMORPG's. At least it was where I first saw it in games like Ultima Online & Everquest. In UT/Quake 3, we would sit there & told you " You *$&%ing sucked " & then went into why you *$&%ing sucked. We were ruthless back in those days lol.

4 回覆I miss the days of L337 speak when you could only insult someone as fast as you could type. I can still type fast to this day thanks to my misspent youth on counterstrike. The customisable spray paint tags in counterstrike are my favourite ever form of insult.

19 回覆The worst gaming term in existence imo is "tryhard." I have always absolutely hated that term, & it makes little sense to me. Why would you NOT be playing to win/trying hard? I hear these youngsters calling people "sweaty" all the time now, as well. This one makes much more sense to me. When I hear it, I get a visual of some kind of social reject in his mom's basement, enraged & screaming @ the screen & his team mates, sweating from intense gaming to the point that the controller is sliding out of his hands. The other one I've heard a lot lately is "Salty." Kind of indifferent on this one. This word being used to describe someone that is upset, enraged, raging, or "butthurt" doesn't necessarily make perfect sense to me, however.

Back in the day my friends and I used to call them "bad kids" or "noob" we had insults for certain games as well like" mauler whore" for the kids who weren't good enough to out BR us on halo so they used mauler and gravham to get kills. I'm not even that old(21) but I can tell a lot of changes especially with the gaming industry getting seriously mainstream. Like when I was growing up i had like 4 friends playing H2 with and now every one I know has a gaming consol or PC.

4 回覆I don't get it the grammar police will jump on you left-right and centre if you use they're, their or your and you're in the wrong context but shit like rekt is passable WTF!

9 回覆Only a /b/tard truly knows what rekt is! Most of these children would piss their pants if they knew where and how the meme originated. But as in all things interweb it's been so watered down to cater for the masses its lost almost all of what made it what it was.
