Hey all,

I’m currently doing a master’s in counselling and psychotherapy and for my dissertation I’m looking into empathy in online gaming, with a focus on the relationship between different game modes and empathy levels. I’ve created a survey for it which takes 6 minutes on average to complete. It’s completely anonymous. If you have time to fill it out I would appreciate it! I’m using Team Fortress 2 as the example game. You must be 18 or older to participate in the survey.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey, the work on this will continue until August 2021.

@scaredy-bat I’m gonna use the Interpersonal Reactivity Index by Davis as a survey, I’m doing it around different modes like co-operative, competitive and mixed co-op/competitive.

I found way more studies on empathy/ aggression etc and online gaming than I thought I would for my lit review. It was pretty interesting

RIP my chances of having a sweet banner

(I appreciate the donated reps lmao)

@Iso I find it strange you’re scared of people who report bad behaviour but aren’t bothered by the people carrying out the bad behaviour.

I would ask them not to carry out the behaviour, if they persisted I would report. I don’t have to do the thought experiment. I call out bad behaviour in pubs, pugs, lobbies etc. and if it’s consistent enough I report it on all of those platforms.

His hobbies are eating and sleeping

@tide I agree! The “mute” don’t report mentality is both selfish and lazy! If you report then other people don’t have to deal with the bullshit either

Destroyed us with a sick reflected kritzkrieg on ashville advanced scrims and won his team that round. Nice guy too!

I’d advise being careful if you’re arranging scrims with Live, Laugh, Love in advanced as they do cancel with short notice for another scrim they get.
(eg they asked us for a scrim last Monday and then cancelled with us today cuz they found an invite team lfs).

Also we are lfs sunday 830 now lol

@ranzo I am eternally grateful for your permission to let us finish

In ugc when I played it was approximately a year after the season ended :^)

No it’s just a funny song.

“Tbh I feel like if you’re gonna have a competitive community, you’re gonna get players that have different opinions and beliefs than others. I think if someone is with a friend group just chillin and said a slur or something anti-lgbt then they shouldn’t have to be banned from the league entirely for it. As long as they are not hurting those around them within the league or the TF2 community then leave it at that. It’s borderline discriminating against people that have different opinions.”

Idk how to quote. I am sorry. I wasn’t gonna put any opinions here but on this ONE comment, if we are talking about people using slurs specifically then this video instantly comes to mind: thisone I don’t really think slur usage is a valid “opinion.”

My team is taking a break from highlander this season and although I can’t main I’d be up for subbing for a team advanced+

I’ve played advanced medic rgl, plat medic ugc. I have 1400 hours on medic.

Thanks!

Update: I wouldn’t be able to sub on a weekly basis for a team anymore due to irl situations changing but I could still sub if there wasn’t a weekly requirement. In the case I was needed for an official I would do all scrims that week.

I’ve been interested in making a 4s team recently but didn’t want to go back to UGC.

I’ve only ever played medic in official games but I think it’d be really fun to do scout, soldier or spy at lower levels.

I would have embedded this in some already existing thread but I couldn’t find a suitable one and I’m hoping because I mention rgl multiple times this will be ok :^)

Lia’s very cool video on variety in tf2
