Small talk while gambling?

If you are gambling with one or more people and are talking. Do you do small talk then? And how do you feel about it?

If I gamble with a person and they do that, it's more of a nuisance. Especially when I have to make an effort. I'm then fully concentrated and my colleague then babbles something about… What happened to him earlier. As an an example. And at the PS4 party, you can't directly mute people, I get a fit every time.

Or if I'm in a bad mood right now and my partner gets stuck with something, I get one too many. It happened earlier that I told him to be quiet. So in English: "shut up".

Since I've only had the headset for a short time and have never really talked while gaming with others, I have no picture of it. I was only in parties with 4 people.

And I have the feeling that I seem unsympathetic when I'm calm and only use the VC for callouts. Yes, a little smalltall is okay, I do too. But constantly talking, laughing and not paying attention to the game, I could burst.

How do you handle it and is it unappealing if you just callout? I'm very little interested in the human and especially when I play I can't have useless mess.

Imagine 2 fighter jets and 2 attack helicopters attacking you and your colleagues and instead of making suggestions, he talks about discovering a funny meme, tells you and then laughs too.

Yes, and what does smalltalk mean. In general, conversations that don't HAVE to take place. Which are not relevant when gambling.

We only insult each other otherwise it's no fun

It depends with whom you gamble. Some want to talk more, others less.

I see the same way. I just like the monotonous, calm and yes, callous mood. But I don't know how that will go down with my colleagues. You have to know, I've known them for six months and each of them for the first time with them. One said (not a close colleague) he had to go now, left the party and the lobby, but then continued to gamble…

je

It depends. When I'm out and about in GTA or Anno 1800 with my buddy, it's mostly about thinking or action, there isn't much with small talk. There are only hints or Msl a funny saying. But also a little small talk. But when I start EuroTruckSimulator2, I pick up my microphone, call the next best person and start talking on the phone for hours. As long as I drive. It's almost as if I drive intuitively, I only have to concentrate when reversing with the trailer.

Al

Yes, it was about GTA too. You just have to be extremely attentive. Especially when you play like me, have a KD like me and an outfit like me. Then it means 2 against the lobby.

je

Oh, do I meet a "Tryhard" and a "KD-Schwitzer" here? ^^

Nope, sorry, I'm Team Rabbix who's on his KD

But yes, I get it, I mostly concentrate, but every now and then I chat anyway

Al

I'm not a Tryhard and also not a KD sweater. You could tell from your statements… A casual one. Probably only on the noob bike.

am

Don't bother with people like that, who are mine like the one who just went on playing without himself. There are enough people who more than accept that you don't chew their ears off while playing.

je

I hate the noobbike. I said - if so, I'm more for Team Rabbix

Especially when you play like me, have a KD like me and an outfit like me.

You contradict yourself… Here you seem to give something on the KD.

Al

Sorry but the first half is very incomprehensible. But I think I know what you mean

am

Yeah, I mean, you should just ignore people like the guy who kept playing without you. As I said, don't hang around with such people and look for new ones who behave like you in the party.

Al

Yes, my KD is high… If you look at the average. But that's automatic because of my style of play. However, I often do fair 1v1's and I don't mind if the KD drops drastically.

And pretty weak statement. As a Rabbux fan, you should know what a Tryhard is.

Al

Is difficult. I have a very high standard when it comes to friends. Recently deleted around 50 friends. Now I still have 30, of which half is rather hmm yes. And then find someone with whom I get on well personally…

I'd rather go into the barn and look for a needle, so to make sense.

am

You don't have to have someone with whom you get on "perfectly". I don't have one of those and I don't even have 30 friends to choose between. As long as the person in your party accepts your kind and you are not totally unsympathetic, I think that you have made a good catch with someone like that.

je

Right, I was covered with the Tryhard.

Ahh I understand - someone who likes to provoke but then also wants to fight fairly. Well I take it all back. Sounds better.
Unfortunately, that doesn't happen very often anymore - too many who sweat, salt and hate the game. I drifted into single player. Games LSPDFR…

My

Very different. I actually only gamble with good friends, so we have a lot to talk about. But that happens more in the lobby or in fun games. If we e.g. In lol or cs in the ranking game, people actually only talk about the game.

ot

When, I'm with friends, we love to talk. It also depends on the game. When we play GTA Online, for example, where you often have to drive long distances and where the in-game sound is not so important, we like to talk about things other than the game itself, laugh and have fun. For example, when we play Rainbow Six Siege, we pretty much only talk about the game because the sound is very important in the game. I also play on ps4 and at Rainbow Six, or when I'm at parties with many people (8 or more), the volume priority is in-game sound instead of party sound. You can easily set this in the quick menu under party (hold down the PS button). This setting allows you to control exactly how much you want to hear from the party and how much you want to hear about the game.

Hope I could help

Al

Mainly I empty lobbies. If I get bored, I also go to the beach, docks or the airport.
