Dealing with Dicks

You heard me. This post is about dicks. Dicks are an almost unavoidable part of online gaming.

Dicks can be very annoying and hard to play with. If you're playing with a dick it’s very likely that the dick is just making you angry and ruining your experience, often intentionally.

You can't stand for this. You are playing the game for fun and to enjoy yourself (I hope). Therefore you shouldn't let any dicks you encounter online get to you and ruin it for you.

There are ways of dealing with dicks. I'm going to share with you some of the ways that I often deal with dicks I encounter while playing online.

The most effective way of avoiding dicks and all of the negativity they can bring to you is simple: just don't have contact with them.

Turn off your headset.

If you're not playing with anyone you know, you're not going to miss out on all too much if you turn off your headset, especially if the majority of what’s getting thrown into your ear is just the product of dicks. You don’t need that. You’ll be happier without it.

Alternatively you can just mute the dicks that you don't want in your ear. This way you can stay in contact with those in your game that are actually fun to communicate with. Also, if you're only talking with friends online, start a private chat up. This way it’s just you and your friend(s) talking.

You are safely sealed off from the dicks.

 If you don't feel like completely isolating yourself from the evil dicks of the online world, there are still ways you can deal with them.

If I find myself in the situation where a dick is just being completely negative online and insulting me, I just laugh at him.

I have found that dicks can't handle being laughed at.

Don't let them get to you. If they are online just insulting everyone else, that is sad. I feel sorry for them because they are like that. I like to fill my life with happiness and do my best to make others happy. It’s a shame there are so many dicks who don't do the same.

So do what I do. Take solace in the fact that you are very likely a better person than the dick. You're not just out to insult others and ruin their time. At least I should hope not.

So just laugh at them (not with them). Also telling them how sad they are, or even telling them that you love them and other happy things like that will get to them. Of course the methods of dick pacification will vary from dick to dick, but just find the way of dealing with them that works best for you.  

So remember these things next time you're online and encounter a big dick:

Don't be a dick back. No one likes dealing with dicks in their ears and in their games.

Be the better person.

Don't let dicks ruin your game for you.

Enjoy your game.

Enjoy your life.
