I am not even that old (25), but years of being exposed to toxic and try-hard competitive CS (without any actual incentive to be competitive) made me the same toxic shit. That's why I stopped playing altogether, apart from co-op stuff. HD2 is exactly the kind of game that helps. I can become annoyed as well, but I realise that it is mostly at myself now for making stupid decisions. And generally it's just about having fun. The fact that I can laugh about being tked in the most ridiculous and unnecessary way is great
Sometimes I actually surprise myself on the myriad of ways i can off myself...
There should be a compilation video of the most unique, like: ive been blasted across the entire map, freefalling and ragdolling for ages and Injust sit there in amazement.
Getting killed by dead bugs or being yeeted into orbit for no apparent reason are the best. Shooting the autocannon at objects too close for comfort and then ragdolling into mines is a facepalm moment - it happens way too often
