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 RepliesI 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.
