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

19 RepliesThe 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.
