    Online gaming is a cesspit that everyone should either avoid or play with everyone perma-muted

      Deep Rock Galactic is the exception, the pointy scanner thing means nobody really needs to use chat, much less voice chat. If you look in the chat after most rounds it essentially goes down to these 5 messages:
      “r?” (you guys ready to start this event?)
      “r” (I am ready)
      “gg”
      “engie can I get a platform here?” (to mine minerals out of reach)
      “gunner can you put zips around the core stone?” (a lot of noob gunners don’t know that you can set up ziplines to avoid most of the enemies in an event)

      In my 1,000 hours the worst thing I’ve seen was being kicked from the lobby when I was new for dieng repeatedly because I joined a way harder difficulty than I could deal with. That one was on me lol.
