Sweat: gamer who is really really intense about the game to the point of rage and hardassery. Given that they are usually tougher than most enemies, as well as make the game less fun for more casual players, it's implied here that getting killed by one is a given.
Edited because I had to reread the meme lol
Man, I was playing Dark Souls 2 old version, a ten year old game, very hard to find matches. I only wanted to go meelee, despite having spells for pve. But this guy was so sweaty, using a fast bow, changing ring to a explosion one when I killed him with a rapier. Or another tricky ring when I finally cave in and used spells. But the worst was the use of the bow, he even saw I used healing spell on first match (I was afk, only time I used it). Last I hit him when buffing and ended up killing him later. And quit. I hope he liked pvp, because he wouldn't have the same luck again. He killed me at least 18 times. Won only twice. When I kill someone in the arena they generally don't return. Despite trying to be as nice as possible.
In video games it’s a common coping mechanism to call someone a sweat if they beat you. It’s unfathomable to believe that any one is better than you unless they’re a try hard, g-fuel snorting, stinky, sweaty gamer…
The meme is just applying that to real life.
Or....they are a tryhard? Your comment suggests that there are no tryhards, only people whining about being beaten. But when you are playing a literal fun mode and someone tries so hard to win that not even they have fun..... They kinda deserve being called out for it
1. If they beat me they are cheaters
2. If they are good they are try tryhards with no life.
3. If they lost to me they are dogshit and shouldn't play this game again.
It's not about not keeping score, it's about being able to try things and mess around with the world you're playing in. Playing *the way you want to* is much more important than winning to me when I play games. Playing the way everyone else tells me to takes all the fun out of it for me.
I still like to win, but the fun is in playing off-meta whenever I want and trying to do as many interesting things as possible while playing, and this often upsets sperglords who see playing casual hearthstone as the ultimate struggle defining their life and very masculinity.
On the other hand, expecting everyone else to cater to your specific idea of fun is a bit entitled, isn't it?
For every person who derives their fun from doing wacky off meta stuff there's gonna be a person who derives their fun from doing well or winning. None of those people are wrong.
In your comment you're calling other people sperglords for playing the way *they* want to. I'm fully aware you exaggerated for effect, but the point still stands.
Smurfing exists for a reason, it’s fun for really good players to be put in a lower skill lobby and dominate. This is easier in quick play or equivalent modes because most quick play players are looking for a fast casual experience and the match making is typically less restrictive, either due to lack of time or interest in competitive.
Yes, exactly. Perfect example of someone whining about getting beat by someone better than them. They were a try hard and the only reason they won is because you weren’t trying to win.
Yeah people get beat and call other people sweats, and that’s cringe, but genuine sweats also make the game less fun for regular people that don’t have the time to invest 5000 hours into a game.
To the sweat, stomping less experienced players is par for the course, and they don’t think about how the way that they’re playing could be affecting other’s enjoyment of the game.
To the regular person, the two hours they have to play the game they like is ruined by this no life that isn’t even playing the game for fun anymore. They’re just playing because they’re addicted.
My fun in the game comes from posting my topfrag wins on my Instagram story highlights so obviously I’m gonna try to do so. I play for 2-3 hours as well, sometimes less, so how can you call me an addicted no life? Get good or die crying 🙃
I mean tbf if you wanna be good at something, as in better than most others, you are gonna sweat. A video game is meh but if you’re going into actual combat I hope you’re well-trained and supplied.
War is the ultimate Pay To Win PVP scenario.
There's plenty more that goes into it than just that. It's Pay to Win for the plutocrats and oligarchs. For the soldiers on the ground, it is simpler, and therefore much more complicated.
Still, I'm curious why these two are in a field in Moscow? Are they members of the retribution strike force attacking Moscow? That seems more probably than mobniks from Russia, since this meme is in English.
Based on western media (as opposed to my non-existent direct experience in Ukraine) Russia is drafting solders, telling them to source a bunch of their own equipment, giving them 2 days of training, and then shipping them off. Compared to most militaries that actually train troops for weeks or even gasp months or years, that would make the russian draftees the filthy casuals who would say something like this
No doubt. I didn't intend to make light of the war or casualties as a whole. From what i understand, these specific soldiers are apparently used to just waste Ukrainian ammo and exhaust troops before sending in real soldiers and equipment.
Yes, those are mobniks. Putin pours them into the red gap of horror like I pour water on my hands after cleaning my AK74 or 82mm mortar or Mavic drone.
A sweaty player is someone who will pick the best character, use best builds or loadouts, and proceed to either make everyone’s day miserable, or just complain about their teammates not being “good” because they don’t go the best loadouts
Nihilism.
Making light of the fact that they are dying by referring to the Chinese Soldier who killed them as a try hard at video games.
It implies that dying in a war is no more serious than dying in a video game.
this is so funny lmao, i’m not really sure if a “sweat” and a “tryhard” are different, but i think essentially it’s just someone that gets really serious and competitive when playing a game, sometimes raging quickly too. just not someone that’s chinchilling and playing, it’s a more serious player

It also originated from the way your hands sweat when exerting extreme focus
Man, I was playing Dark Souls 2 old version, a ten year old game, very hard to find matches. I only wanted to go meelee, despite having spells for pve.

Sweat = tryhard
Ah... they get so mad when u get em too.
Bro said “bro” and then bro went “bro”. It was brotastic
Dude, bro.
Bro, Dude!
Bro wrote a reddit comment
"Bro, close your eyes" "Ok bro" "What do you see bro?" "Nothing bro" "That's my life without you bro" "Bro"

Lol found the sweat
Found the coping mechanism.
Found the 3rd party
Found the uhm... 4th party?
found the fourth wall
break it.
Broke the wall
Oh hi there!
Or....they are a tryhard? Your comment suggests that there are no tryhards, only people whining about being beaten. But when you are playing a literal fun mode and someone tries so hard to win that not even they have fun..... They kinda deserve being called out for it
#1 rule of gaming. Anyone better than you has no life, and anyone you're better than has no skill.
1. If they beat me they are cheaters 2. If they are good they are try tryhards with no life. 3. If they lost to me they are dogshit and shouldn't play this game again.
Streamers by default make that rule untrue unless you also happen to be a streamer
Bold of you to assume that winning isn't the ultimate form of fun
Literal fun mode Game that has a winner and a loser Pick one.

Aram in LoL and the Twisted Masquerade in DbD are Fun Modes. But there are still winners
Yes, exactly. Perfect example of someone whining about getting beat by someone better than them. They were a try hard and the only reason they won is because you weren’t trying to win.

Oof, Fortnite
Nah, it's hella easy to tell if someone beats you because they are better or because they try very hard to and you just vibing.
I mean tbf if you wanna be good at something, as in better than most others, you are gonna sweat. A video game is meh but if you’re going into actual combat I hope you’re well-trained and supplied. War is the ultimate Pay To Win PVP scenario.
You train hard, master your shooting, surviving and then comes the drone….
> War is the ultimate Pay To Win PVP scenario. Actually, that's your mum.
Yeah, and your mom’s like WinRAR: she’s been begging people to pay for it since April of 1995.

Russian artillery is no joke. Killed more than a few of my friends. Mobniks are one thing. The Russian War Machine is many horrid things.
Russian children will be raised by Ukrainian men in the end. Slava Ukraini.

Everybody is down voting you but I'm glad we have a combat vet to tell us war is like video games.
Oh My Actual God!

Ngl I’d have a look of disappointment and then laugh a bit knowing this is his last moments

Damn China took over Russia fast in this fantasy world of the meme
Oops. Didn't reread the meme

Oh sweet summer child
A field in Moscow? Why is there a field in Moscow and what war is taking place there?
Use your imagination!
Khodynka Field
True
Who is he in "he was a sweat" though?
think sweating from trying too hard in a video game (mostly shooters).

Escape from Takarov?
How does bro not know what a sweat is
Because not everyone is on the Internet 24/7
Not everyone is into gaming
