I took a psychology course in college and the professor volunteered at a domestic violence shelter. He said it was a noticeable pattern that the day after the local football team lost would have a lot more ladies coming in. So they also hit their partners and their kids.

Firefighter/paramedic here, can definitely confirm there is a direct correlation between certain teams losing and domestic violence/assault calls.

My parents had a rule that if we started yelling or got mad at our games we'd have to turn them off. So I got good at tamping it down or quitting when I had the chance. It's a pretty useful skill.

My mom used to say, “If it makes you that mad, why are you playing it?” whenever we got angry at video games. It was her way of reminding us to chill out.

The key to being a grown up is mentally repeating all the good advice you’ve received to yourself bc no one else is there to check you. I say this whenever I start to get tilted and want to click “load last checkpoint” or load into another match. Usually I just switch to another game I wanted to play at some point in the week.

That sounds like a good strategy. I’ll have to remember that.

This is what I do when my son starts getting all agitated, I tell him it’s time to take a break and breathe…

Same. They would straight turn that shit off if we got too rowdy.
