How do I stop breaking controllers?

I just broke my PS4 controller in a fit of rage. This is the second one I've broken since I got the console about 7 months ago.
How do I stop wasting money on controllers? Is there a more durable alternative?

Don't rage.

Get a therapist or stop being autistic

test

Become older than 14.

buy a gun and go outside ;^)

Stop being a spaz.

Grow up.

Buy punching bag and print Kaz Hirai's face on it

Ignore the other posters in this thread.
Unless you are a zen master, it's normal to feel enraged at occasionally trivial things. As long as you're not taking it out on a person, relieving stress is a good thing. I'd recommend purchasing something cheap and durable, so that if you have to lash out during a gaming session, you're not taking it out on your controller. This will allow you to not spend so much money on controllers, as well as get some greatly needed release from stress and frustration building up while playing video games.

git gud :^)

Calm down and count backwards from 10 or something each time you get angry. I get frustrated in games and will occasionally yell or swear but breaking shit is just gonna make things worse in the long run.

Taking your aggression out physically on anything is a bad habit to give yourself and only increases those emotions.

> it's normal to feel enraged at occasionally trivial things
its seriously not though. frustration is one thing, but if you can't just stop playing the game and calm down then you're a complete sperg.

The money is a tax om your degeneracy. That's what you get for being a fucking ape.

I've been playing video games all my life and have never broken a control, you people are fucked.

this guy is a moron, letting out and indulging your rage is addictive, it will only get worse, i promise you this from personal experience

learn to take a deep breath, accept you fukt up then take 5 minutes and either stop or continue when you're calm

Stop being retard

Serious answer: keep a towel by you when you play vidya. If you get upset put down the controller and start wringing the towel as hard as you can. All the while QUANTIFY in your mind why you're upset. i.e. "that guy was camping, this boss spams spells etc. etc." You'll feel better afterwards. Repeat as necessary.

>How do I stop wasting money on controllers?
You could always kill yourself, that will save money on a lot of things like rent/mortgage and such

There's no cure for autism, it's terminal, Bucko.

>get mad in online game
>let your teammates know how you feel

i dunno, humanity needed thousand years of evolution in order to reach this point. i guess you can just try to accept fact you're something less, creature incapable of holding destructive emotions in, and move on

Imagine that Hannibal Lecter is watching your every move, and try to act like human being he couldn't kill. this guy had great taste when it comes to human beings.

...

stop being so american

>you have to be a zen master to not flip out over stupid shit
Did you grow up in a place with a lot of lead paint?
The maddest I ever got at a game made me shout in anger and ragequit. That was it. I've never felt the need to smash things or do any other chimpanzee shit.

I'm not a literal raging autist, so I can't speak from experience, but this sounds like the best advice in the thread for the problem.

Stop playing games that get you insanely pissed.

Forget the controllers, I'd be more concerned about your mental health.

>Unless you are a zen master, it's normal to feel enraged at occasionally trivial things.
Getting angry at a game is one thing, getting so angry that you break controllers is another thing entirely.

just buy switch, the controllers are already broken apart

Superior.

>seriously breaking controllers in fits of rage

Ask a psychiatrist for your meds

More proof that he only comes when he posts it himself

GUARANTEED REPLIES

Anger management classes might help.
Your mom worked hard to afford those controllers, OP. Stop being a fucking loser.

>Taking your aggression out physically on anything is a bad habit

nah, it's just the primitive part of your brain that needs to unload a bit. as long as you're sane, you know when to stop.
couple of years ago i was fixing something on my motorcycle, but it was in such a hard to reach place, i kept dropping parts i needed to put in there. after countless times of this happening i got so enraged i grabbed a screwdriver and started stabbing a door behind me a dozen times.
sometimes i notice the holes when i'm in my garage and remember my retarded ragefit, always gives me a giggle.

oh man how i wish i was rich so i could buy 100 mice and keyboards so i wont have to stop myself from breaking them
the closest i got was to pick up the mouse and slam im it on the desk a couple of times when i lost the fishing achievement for 2 seconds YOU FUCKIGN PIECE OF LAGGY SHIET DALARAAAAAAAAAAAN FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

you in da spek, nigga? Go take yo lithium.

You have a mental illness.

Leave a cardboard box nearby to smash up

Stop being a manchild

Stop being a faggot.

jesus christu what is wrong with you

1) Git gud
2) Stop playing whatever it is you're playing
3) Get help

...

get a job and learn the value of money

if you're gonna break shit like an autist it should at least be cheap shit

Start beating yourself instead.

That is not normal, user, no matter how many times you tell yourself that.

you people serious right now? everyone has a ragefit from time to time.

no they don't. And letting out your anger (venting) actually makes you more angry, rather than if you just take a few deep breaths and calm down

One thing is getting mad, another thing is getting MAD.
Also if he does what you're telling him he'll just get worse, I saw this firsthand with my brother.

I've literally never had a rage fit. Anyone who breaks a game controller out of rage seriously has anger problems.

I have never broken a controller or keyboard or mouse and I've been playing video games since 1995

...

Rage is part of the normal human condition. Being a big enough sperg you break your own property while raging is not.

stop being underage

>Nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger

I thought this was just a meme

>when it comes to human beings
You think he likes the taste of unwashed dew marinated autist? Would he consider that a delicacy.

Most of the people he doesn't kill are the ones that show courtesy and those that show interest in higher learning.

(you)

Personally, I just buy really fucking cheap T-shirts in bulk and wear them whenever I'm gaming.
I get mad? Rip that shirt, feel like a badass, calm down because of that, and continue. They're dirt cheap so I don't feel bad, I don't have to clean up or stop playing because I broke my input device, there's no disadvantages.
Haven't broken anything since I started doing this, and I'm performing much better in LoL, CoD and OW because I can keep my emotions in check better.

It also helps to smoke a little weed while playing, it really helps you relax a lot and gaming is much more fun high anyway.

Widow was in the wrong here.

He was pushed way to far up and shouldn't have tried to peek that widow.

Even if he had won that duel their team was too far back to take advantage of the pick.

Even Dva tried to save his retarded ass.

I've slapped my fightstick around once or twice, but never tried to break anything

stop being a little baby and learn to control yourself

>okay, alright, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WOW
completely from left field

Literally the only game I've ever broken hardware over was a stupid mobile game

Pic related, did they intentionally design this game to be as anger-inducing as possible?

it calmed me down at that moment. i don't see what the big deal is, you people act like i would've just as easily murdered someone if by chance a person was standing behind me at the moment of my ragefit.

I'm a self-respecting human being. Why would I break my own things over such trivial things as videogames? Or any, really. It seems you are not mentally mature enough to understand the concept of self-control and understanding what's actually important.

Are you this guy:

Please exit your anus anytime please

>I have rage issues, therefore it's normal

>destroying a t-shirt and drugging yourself just so don't sperg out every time you play a game

How long did your rage fit last? How much damage did you do?
You can cut both of your answers into a tenth if you just take a deep breath.
All I'm saying is, don't drink alcohol any time soon, you're clearly not capable of controlling your emotions, and by extension yourself.

>Breaking things is feeling anger.
You too kid, no liqueur for you.

If you two don't understand the difference between screaming profanities at your monitor and actually breaking things you are literally autistic.

Just punch into a wooden support beam. Break your hand instead

You are not a chimpanzee. Get control over yourself.

>If you two don't understand the difference between screaming profanities at your monitor and actually breaking things you are literally autistic.
Two sides of the same coin, you uneducated trash

Both are childish and introduce new problems for the manhildren who do such things

how embarrasing

>Both are childish and introduce new problems for the manhildren who do such things
Thank you for continuing to prove to me that you do not understand the difference between the two, autist.
You have my permission to smash your keyboard now.

Spotted the adult.

I do feel frustration, es[ecially in online games.. Anger, even. Rage? No.

Woah, you seem like a very dangerous person.

If you live in America that is way more expensive.

nope , never have a ragefit, maybe you should stop saying to yourself this is normal and start looking for some help.
not saying you have a big problem or something like that , just saying if you can fix that maybe you will have a better life.

I had the same problems as you, but once I grew pubic hair it stopped.

Stop being a literal child

>How long did your rage fit last? How much damage did you do?

like 10 seconds, couple of stabbing holes in a door. look, I was sane enough to realize that i shouldn't trash my motorcycle. I specifically chose the door because it's strong, and I don't give a shit about what it looks like on the inside.

>don't drink alcohol any time soon
I get wasted exactly on time a week, but thanks for the advice, e-shrink.

As someone who's had rage issues, indulging in that will only make things worse. I got over my rage issues by avoiding that sort of compulsive behaviours, and even then, they still almost crop up again under certain circumstances.

You know you can feel anger without breaking things like a monkey, right?

quit being a try hard.

Smoke weed

>How do I stop wasting money on controllers?
Remind yourself that aping out on your own shit that you paid money for makes you look a hell of a lot like some gutter stain nigger.

Remember that and anyone can do better.

t. PTSD Schizophrenic

Take it out on yourself. Instead of smashing my controller, I would just slam my fist on my leg instead. It got a little bruised, but bruises heal. Your electronics don't. If nothing else, remember that last part. You're spending your own money on this shit, so take extra care of it.

do you live alone? i know a lot of people would not feel safe living with you

I'm surprised there are so many people in here claiming they've never raged before. Looking at the people who post here, you would think they'd be prime candidates for rage. I don't really believe everyone here who says they're calm. Not that I do this, I take care of my things, but I seriously doubt everyone ITT is as peaceful as they say they are.

Just saying user, you should try to fix your problems instead of deny them, alcoholics and gambling addicts display the same behaviors you are right now. All 3 of them are terrible habits, cost a lot of money, and can ruin your life.

>everyone in this thread is a rage monkey who breaks everything in sight when they lose in a video game
>except me of course :^)
You realize Sup Forums is more than just 10 people, right?

>You realize Sup Forums is more than just 10 people, right?

That's pure nonsense

there is like 9 people saying they keep calm , around 3 talking about how raging is normal and 60 shitposting

I'm concerned I'm gonna read the news one day and you'll be a lead story with witnesses saying "the guy just suddenly lost it." Get help son.

>Sup Forums is more than just 10 people

i won't be in the news because the body would be dissolving in a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. ;)
