Frustration when gaming happens to the best of us. A camper kills you when you rush into an area. A mistimed parry leads directly to your death. Or a money-hungry raccoon cripples you with debt. The frustrations are endless and players vent their rage in a variety of ways. For NBA player Josh Hart, a game of Call of Duty forced him to take🌱 out his frustration in an all-too-familiar way and it was his keyboard that ended up making the ultimate sacrifice.
Josh Hart is a professional basketball player for the New Orleans Pelicans. The former first-round pick was having a solid year before the COVID-19 outbreak forced the NBA to shut down operations for the foreseeable future. There is a possibility the league will come back, but for now the answer to when or how has left fans in the dark. With seemingly more time on his hands, Josh Hart has been grinding away at streaming, predominantly playing Call of Duty on .
Hart isn't immune to the many woes other gamers face when playing a game, typically with frustration that comes from a number of factors. In a recent Call of Duty stream, Hart turned the corner during a match only to immediately be mowed down by an enemy player waiting and ready to strike. After dying, Hart took it out in a completely reasonable way, by throwing his keyboard on the ground and stomping on it until it had no more will to live. Chants of "Fuck this game" accompanied the slaughter before Hart picked up the keyboard for🍸 one last throw into ✤another room.
Has there every been anything more relatable? No matter how players tend to vent their frustrations, the feeling alone is a unifying factor for us all. To Josh Hart: There will be better gaming days ahead and there will be worse. That's the double-edged sword of gaming and the sweet, painful nectar that keeps🎐 us coming back for more. Please don't take it out on your keyboard, though. It's trying its best.
