when you start leaking
Typically when somebody is playing so hard to win, on a level on which the other person simply doesn't want to.
Well how do you know what an appropriate level of "hardness" is?
you touch and feel it
If it's a ranked mode: no limit
If it's a casual mode or mode where your opponent is engaged in some pve shit or whatever then if you use some sort of limited resource, outnumber them, or are waiting for them or happen to be somewhere that is a direct contradiction to your own eventual survival or progression, just to kill them (and they might not even be fighting back)
sweat
swĕt
intransitive verb
To excrete perspiration through the pores in the skin; perspire.
To exude in droplets, as moisture from certain cheeses or sap from a tree.
To collect moisture in small drops from the air, as a cold water pipe.
See we're using it as an adjective here.
Play ranked, pussy.
I literally don't play ranked because it's full of sweaties. I want a good fight, not some meaningless title. Without the need to chase after titles people in Player Match focus on technique.
shitter
Ranked will put you more accurately in games of people with the same skill. If you expect decent engagement and then go play casual, you are a sweat. It's called casual for a reason
I've had some excellent matches in casual, I don't know what you're driving at.
Yea, from other sweats, Idiot sweat
When you're putting in a crazy amount of effort to win in a videogame, against people who are just playing the game with a simple goal of enjoyment.
For example if I want to enjoy some casual Dark Souls PvP and I'm playing against you, but you have some kind of audio assistant reminding you to roll around and you're using all the strongest possible gear and you're visibly physically exerting yourself in front of your computer, and you're playing to the maximum of your capabilities as if someone will hurt you in real life if you lose. Then you're sweaty.
Whats the difference with a tryhard?
Nothing really, tryhard is last generation's slang.
"Sweaty" is just the next gen term for tryhard.
It's the same thing. The issue isn't whether the person is good at the game, but whether they are exhibiting unhealthy competitiveness over an activity that most people enjoy leisurely. It would be like tossing a football around with your friends but one gay shows up with all of his football gear and acts like he's getting paid to work his ass off.
Tryhard doesnt have a ring to it like Sweaty. You can even cut it back to just Sweat and use it as a noun
>"Fucking sweat"
Tryhard will typically employ meta to curbstomp opponents whereas sweaty can just be the result of prevailing in a tense/difficult situation.
I mean becoming sweaty is the result of hyperfocus, it's been term used in gaming for ages.
"Sweaty" can be turned on or off. A good player can play casually or "get sweaty"
Tryhards are always tryhards.
It’s all just bullshit that loser gays spout to shame you. They want you to feel bad for trying to win in a game.
You’re talking to pathetic bitches who don’t try to win. What’s the fucking point of half assing life like that?
zoomers were raised to think trying is gay.
I think it's more like they've grown up with our newfound knowledge that trying is futile.
It's definitely a fear of failure and showing weakness. Can't mess up if you don't even try.
Everyone is under a dozen layers of irony these days. Nobody has genuine emotions anymore.
It goes beyond that I think. When I grew up there was a lot of messaging like "the good guy gets the girl", now everyone knows "the tall guy gets the girl". It used to be "work hard and get a good job", now it's "know a guy and look good and get a good job".
These aren't secrets anymore, even the high school kids know it and it's created this attitude where nobody wants to try because trying means you're not one of the winners.
>casual dark souls pvp
No such thing. If you play online or engage in any PvP in a single player game then you are sweaty.
if you beat me, youre a sweaty tryhard gay
what if you win?
I wasn't even trying, scrub.
skill issue
When you get into "flow state". Its honestly a great feeling when you hyperfocus for a minutes and end up fragging the entire enemy team.
But these days I just wanna chill on my vidya instead of playing competitive matches. Maybe when CS2 comes out I may get back into it.
"flow" or whatever kids are calling it these days has nothing to do with being sweaty. Sweat is all about the approach, not the outcome. A lot of really bad players will play sweaty and be obnoxious shits as a result.
Generally speaking I think the most robust definition for being 'sweaty' is "Exerting excessive or disparate effort in a game regardless of reward or outcome; generally also in bad manners or specifically in ways that optimize fun out of the game."
It's the kind of people who go into casual or community games, play on the meta to a T, bitch at teammates for not doing the same and then gloating when they stomp new players, all that for... what, a sixteenth of a season pass rank or a little number next to their name?
Commonly tryhard and sweaty are used as insults against players who are just doing well, but it doesn't mean these people don't exist.
This. You can tell when someone is desperate for the W because there's this unmistakable vibe they get off, like they're somehow the predator and the prey at the same time. You can feel this fear like they could lose it all in seconds and have to pull every meager advantage to save themselves, but also this uncontrolled aggression where each move may as well be all-out haymakers thrown to take it all.
Flow is just a point where you can be playing casually and effortlessly style on people because its second nature. It's not something forced or controlled, it just happens and only after some time of doing it do you even notice its happening. Especially in team games where teammates 'just know' what's going on. There's this unspoken bond where you tap in and work together seamlessly, whether its one other guy or the whole team. Everyone synchs up and can feel and anticipate what your boys are doing and planning like a sixth sense.
Imagine going to a boxing gym to spar and your partner's throwing sluggers like Mike Tyson.
Thats literally every time you go to the gym unless you actually know the guy
Dutch sparring is completely retarded.
tryhard
When you play a game hard enough to sweat.
Leading by two kills.
it's how I got when I still played gears.
>only use meta picks
>complain about shit team in casual
>will complain about other sweats
>will run a negative K/D
Well I complain about shit teams in casuals because it's disappointing when I feel like no one wants to win or is in it for themselves.
If you win you’re a sweaty tryhard
If I win it was a skill issue
People that type or talk endless paragraphs completely unprovoked about how anally devastated they are that the game has already mentally ravaged them before any potential future mistakes could.
>that pose
someone edit the TLOU2 meme in there
To try so hard that it is questionable if you are truly having fun doing what is clearly the most effective yet universally deemed boring tactic.
That seems overly specific. Sounds like someone just being upset that they're getting outplayed.
Anyone whose better than the name caller. Anyone using the term "sweat" is a shitter who can't cope with the fact that they lost and need to feel better about themselves.
Cope by shitters, if you're good, being good at the game doesn't take extra effort
old ass cope. if you don't want to win then you don't care about losing so quit whining and have fun losing
It's when you go in at 100% to every engagement even when unnecessary
It's what shitters call you when they inevitably lose.
someone doing better than me: sweaty
someone doing worse than me: inting/feeding/throwing
I am the perfect player at all time
From my experience only passive aggressive pussies complain about that. A couple weeks ago while I was tired, playing with no sound, just listening to music and fragging while half zoned out. Some guy called me a sweaty tryhard "ruining" the game, he was foaming at the mouth for like 20 minutes complaining about me in chat non stop. But somehow I'm the one who's a tryhard and being sweaty.
So...a try-hard?
Is this just the zoomer term for try-hard?
tryhard is also a zoomer term.
Tryhard is Millenial, silly Boomer. I remember people using it when I was a kid
It's a faux insult lazy casuals use to deal with the fact other people put more work in than them in order to succeed, it's a coping mechanism designed to help them laugh off the fact they'll never amount to anything
"Being better than me"
>that guy that keeps trying to get you to swap to a meta character in unranked
ranked is the same shit
I have no idea why being given a rank suddenly makes the same exact game serious business
>game comes out
>before buying or even launching it
>looks up guides and "the meta"
>yells at teammates if the game has multiplayer and voice chat
>overall taking it too seriously
Alpha chad
>focuses time and energy on important that things that will lead to a happy and fulfilling life
Tryhard
>focuses time and energy on things that don't matter i.e. video games, board games and friendly competition in general
And don't call people crybabies when you're the first to scream at strangers online over the smallest thing going wrong
think of it like this. you're playing an average unranked game of an FPS. you're just playing methodically, checking your corners and playing in a relaxed fasion, when all of the sudden here comes some dickhead slide cancelling through a door, dropshotting/halojumping around corners with the latest "one shot easy kill build" while playing in a hyperactive pace. that is what a sweat is.
>Me - flying around the map autopiloting movement techniques because they're fun and useful
>You - playing 'methodically' inching through the map slowly checking your corners trying not to die
How am I the sweaty one here?
Is that pic the origin of that meme.
>3 stacks in pubs who play at 100 efficiency
Some might argue about this but it's true. If you are stacking in a BR game in pubs you can all play like fucking retards and win the game.
Go play ranked if you want to go spec ops mode.
newspeak for tryhard
it comes from sweetie, sweaty is the aggro version of sweetie, and it's very derogatory, very common in the trans community
you have to be 18 to post here
calling someone a sweat is just cope from casuls
Overly competitive in game situations that don't call for it. For instance bitching at lower ratio/parse players on your team even though you're winning regardless.
