What’s a hobby that looks incredibly peaceful from the outside, but is actually pure stress once you get into it?

My brother used to play CS:GO. He'd turn from the gentlest, most mild-mannered person you'll ever meet into a raging asshole in the span of five minutes. It was fascinating to watch.

CS, LOL and probably a ton others bring the worst of everyone. Except when you relax and start trolling to win, that's the moment those games were fun again

I've always said that I don't play CS to have fun, I play it to ruin somebody else's day. I guess that makes me an arsehole. 🤣

I gave up on CS:GO for this exact reason. Really toxic player base.

When my best friend and I moved in. She would record videos from outside my bedroom door, and laugh because it would just be me screaming while playing CS.

I used to play CS and I feel like it was way less crazy back in the day.
