Current Events > Why does saying "calm down" work in video games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I said calm down multiple times expecting my teamates to be mad, but they actually calmed down. It doesn't work like that in real life. I can accept unrealistic stuff like stealing hearts from a pervert who eat women in a cup in the metaverse, but people calming down at calm down in where I draw the line.

It works in real life too. Try telling a girl to calm down when she's extremely angry

I'm surprised that worked for you TC. The last time I played games with voice chat I probably would've received some very angry comments if I told someone to calm down.

I was talking about rpg games, not real people I should have been more specific

"Calm down" is a perfectly cromulent filler phrase as long as it's not the only thing you say. >_>

Gotta follow it up with something like, "it's 3AM, you'll wake mom and dad"

Ah. I knew you were talking about P5 in your third sentence but I thought you actually encountered mature people in a multiplayer video game.

video games are fiction

This is the best satire I have ever read
