    I know this is screaming into the void on a 4chan community, but if you’re smashing electronics in fits of rage you should probably go to therapy.

      …unless it’s an N64 controller, and you just got blueshell’d in Mario Kart/Oddjob’d in GoldenEye, in which case that’s perfectly normal behavior

        unless it’s an N64 controller

        is sufficient (I always hated that thing and still don’t know how to hold it – I didn’t have an N64 and only played it a few times).

          The answer is that you needed a different controller layout for different games so you would grab the handles that were needed essentially allowing for about 4 different options.

          The problem was definitely when everyone started realizing if you had the buttons they wanted to program them to do something and you had to get weird with reaching between.

        If you’re still losing to blue shell in Mario kart after all this time please delete the game and stop wasting your time

        Xbox controller is also fine, as long as you intend on ordering a new one only to get a bong in the mail

    Maybe don’t be a little baby who breaks things in a fit of rage. Next time you feel like taking your anger out on physical object, simply don’t. Breaking something, feeling bad about it, and learning from the experience is an important part of growing up.

    I’m gonna guess emotionally stunted development, but that’s just a guess from someone who has spent a lifetime recovering from the same. I haven’t fucked myself over by doing shit like breaking my own property in years. Therapy helps.

        The medical field is largely based on Western culture. Especially mental health diagnoses are pretty arbitrary.

          This is pretty much what I was wondering. How many of these classifications (such as autism) cross cultural/linguistic boundaries?

          Obviously nitpicking one identifying characteristic (object personification) isn’t really valid to dismiss the diagnoses entirely. Perhaps it’s a valid diagnostic and Japanese culture is just more accepting of certain autistic personality traits, where American culture would suppress them. Identification of weird/unusual/possibly unhealthy behavior can be hard to separate from cultural norms.

            I don’t have any specific examples off hand but HealthyGamer on YT is a psychiatrist with both a western medical degree and traditional training in India. He often compares the two, where they align, etc.
