I don’t get physically violent, but I’m aggressively verbally abusive to anything electronic related when I’m failing in a video game.
I’m not actually mad at the game - I’m pushing myself to do something that’s at the edge of my capability (or maybe even beyond, so I need to git gudder just for it to even be possible). When I rage, I’m raging at me and my inability to perform.
It usually is the first hour I’m pushing myself. After about an hour of banging my head against the wall I become one with the frustration and start taking a deep breath after every death. But it takes time to get there.
