Geez man I don't want to sound rude but you might want to take a break and try to help yourself first. I wouldn't want to be in your situation but if things like this trigger your anger into violence, then you might want to do something about it before you end up hurting someone.

 

[K-45]

U should keep a pillow next to yourself when u play the 3ds and take it out on the pillow. I just hope u don't treat the rest of your stuff the same as your 3ds.

Also I agree with the post above u should find a way to take your anger out on something that isn't something to expensive and fragile. Or don't play smash bros until you are able to solve your anger issues.

If anything brings you to that level then you should NOT be doing it. You have to think of yourself and others first.

I've played like a madman and my Circle Pad's perfectly fine, yes I have a hard time breaking out of grabs without mashing like a damn maniac, but hey, I still want to play other 3DS games.

He didn't say anything about a Circle Pad. He broke his 3DS XL by throwing it at a wall.

 

[Darklink401]

Maybe put down the game, and take a deep breath?


Tho I guess its too late for that.

 

[GrnFzzTgr]

I don't mean to sound offensive, but if the game causes you that much stress, maybe you shouldn't be playing it. Like somebody else said, you need to help yourself first. I can't even imagine what you went through in Iraq, but have you considered/gone to therapy? I don't know how much it'll help you, but it's worth a thought. You don't want to end up hurting yourself or others, or continuously breaking things.

 

[Brent Bruthaa]

you can always check ebay for a good deal on a 3ds. maybe its a good sign, the new 3ds is coming out soon

 

[Deleted member 245254]

Pro tip : don't manhandle your 3DS, up to and including : throwing your 3DS at a wall, and it won't break.

Yeah I know this should be obvious, but here we are. Anger isn't an excuse for being stupid.

 

[Sleek Media]

Maybe you shouldn't be playing video games.

 

[deech]

Anger isn't an excuse for being stupid.

People here really don't know what PTSD is, huh?

It's a condition that can't be helped. It's a reaction based on triggers.

 

[Johnny Heart Gold]

Dude that's pretty dangerous, you can hurt somebody, you should take a breath relax, and more important remember, it's just a game. If the game stress you take a break, it a chocolate, go outside, take a deep breath, and don't do that man no never know what can happen to the people around you just take it easy and play some animal crossing new leaf

I'm sorry but I don't agree with excuses that take responsibility away from the person in question. If he's prone to throw game consoles when playing, he should avoid playing said games. That's what any normal, intelligent person afflicted with any relevant illness would do.

So you're telling all Vets out there with PTSD to pretty much avoid life in general, right?
A lot of things trigger PTSD, even minor things like getting the USB plug in the wrong way. It's not something that always happens, which is why OP probably broke his 2nd one.

Don't talk about PTSD as if you've experienced it first hand/have close ones who experience it.
Not every problem has an answer, and calling them 'stupid' for trying to live life normally is just plain ignorant.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

I've pretty much just shelved the 3DS version of Smash and I'm just waiting for the Wii U version. In no way do I handle my 3DS XL in a rough manner, I'm very careful with it because I treasure it, but it took a mere week for my circle pad to occasionally get stuck, and at this point it feels like it could break at any time. My brother does the same and his character is beginning to move in directions he doesn't even move the circle pad. You don't need to throw your console into the wall for it to break, it's just way too feeble for a game that requires sudden inputs, quite simply it does not feel like the console was made to endure Smash Bros, and since I plan on actually keeping this console for the rest of its supposed lifespan it's just best to shelf Smash 3DS, it's not like I'll have any reason to pick it up anyways once the Wii U version is out.

As for the PTSD talk, I've learned that people that haven't actually been diagnosed with such things should really just shut their klaptrap.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

All I have to ask is...

Why are people being so irresponsible with handling their 3DS? I've had mine since early 2012, and have had Smash 3DS for over a month. Circle Pad is still in tact, even after weeks of playing.

The moral of the story is, "don't be reckless with the Circle Pad".

Sorry @Zipzo but @ deech is right on this one.
You are being way too ignorant, and it's was extremely rude of you on calling @ YELLO stupid.

PSTD is very serious, my friend has it and she gets paranoid when she see and hear anything about ****, because she was almost **** before.

But @ YELLO sadly has it worst. I suggest you to read on PTSD before you go on calling it out on someone

[Lichi]

I cannot help but see this thread as fishing for attention. Having PTSD or not or wether it is an excuse for anything or not does not matter, you broke your 3DS and that's it. No discussion on that topic can be started on an already broken 3DS due to deliberately smashing it. So this will likely and is already derailing into an PTSD discussion held by people who are in general uninformed, biased and going at each others throats.

PSTD is a serious thing, I know people with that and it's horrible to their lifes, they can't stop doing stuff just because they have issues, anything can make them have an attack, that kind of stuff makes them be like that maybe forever, you can read online about it, it's not being stupid, a person like that has it's own right to do the same stuff we do, just because he has a problem with his life and past Vietnam doesn't mean he can't play games, and yes he needs to take it with a specialist, but that problems triggers by the small stuff, that's why we tell him to relax and take it easy. He's not stupid man respect people.

Pleaseee, don't.

Smash is only a game, if it makes you mad, just stop playing. Forget it and go enjoy whatever else you like to do in life.

Holy heck, let's dial back the white knighting a little bit.

First of all, I served so I have actual friends and acquaintances with PTSD, and my father also served in multiple wars. You can be for damn sure I both recognize and respect what PTSD is, and understand the implications and affects it can have on a persons life. I would say it's a good time for the lot of you to get yourselves educated and spend some time actually dealing and problem solving with PTSD patients instead of inferring all of your empathy and hoity-toity on information you simply gleaned off of Wikipedia or other similar sources. Become a therapist, dabble in psychiatry. Any one of those things. In any case, let's take a good strong look at this very thread since you are all so very intent on making this about PTSD, while absolving him of any actual responsibility simply because he mentioned PTSD in passing.

Notice how he blames, first and foremost, the game for being "evil". He believes it to be the games fault he ruined a 2nd 3DS. This isn't rational thinking. This is stupidity. Whether "intentional" or not as a result of his trigger, he is able to recognize afterward that...

well i have PTSD from iraq so when i get angry i sometimes will toss the 3DS away from me in a random direction
But mostly its the lag that triggers it... =/

Lag, an incredibly common concept we all must deal with when playing Smash, is "mostly" his trigger. So in a full and complete thought, lag in Smash causes him to throw his 3DS at a wall. Could you, in your right mind, recommend to him that playing handheld games, or even just For Glory assuming lag is amongst his only Smash-related triggers (maybe even console games, I wouldn't want him holding my controller) is a viable outlet? No. You wouldn't. That would be stupid because you're inciting the inevitable (this thread). You wouldn't and shouldn't advocate him partaking in activities that could cause him to end up in cuffs or a straight jacket, it's now others at risk when it comes to random violence.

In conclusion, you can draw some pretty simplistic conclusions from the very little information the OP has provided, assuming everything he's said is accurate and true (you know, internet and all).

1. Something that frequently occurs in Smash causes him to throw his 3DD against a wall. This has resulted now in 2 destroyed (assuredly to blunt trauma) consoles.

2. He should likely avoid playing handheld games or any games with features he may recognize as being a trigger.

3. If he hasn't already, he should be receiving some sort of cognitive therapy to attempt to improve the situation if he intends to continue inciting his own episodes. Therapy in general has shown across the board positive results in dealing with a persons PTSD. It's the one and only true source for a "cure" if there was any.

This thread was created under the responsibility of the OP, it makes a hasty accusation despite an acknowledgement that he himself has a condition, with no other purpose but to put Smash on the cutting board. Therefore this thread both serves no purpose and is intellectually dishonest in that it attempts to drum up the common "Smash kills 3DS's" topic. That is the OP's fault, and we should all be mad that he thought so lightly of wasting our time. Hence, stupid.

Did you read the OP..? He threw it at a wall because smash triggered his ptsd.

You know, you are defending the argument to call STUPID a person with a problem. Doesn't matter how many arguments you have, you shouldn't offend other people only because he suffer from something. You dad has it too? So if one day he does something like suffer an episode that gives me the right to call him stupid? What about people with other kind of problems? You call them stupid if they do something wrong? If a person has a problem and batlles to confront that problem it's because they want to continue with their lifes, and that's awesome. He should understand that maybe buying another 3ds will make it break it again? Yes of course and we can tell him, but that's not an argument to call people stupid or worse, defend the argument of calling him stupid just because he is not your father, everyone is differente, maybe if you dad controls it better or just live his life without attacks that's awesome good for him but other people may have problems and then they have to find help but he can't stop doing a hobby, we can give him some tips not offend him just because you well smarter than the people who threat him in an polite way. being a smartguy isn't nothing if you disrepect everyone and don't listen to their opions, and you only acuse them or judge them. Not cool man not cool

 

[Minato Arisato]

Whoa, whoa. Chill, guys. It's getting pretty heated in here.

Isn't it funny that you say that in a thread about a guy that smash his 3ds in anger? I mean I'm not trying to make fun of the OP, but it's funny that maybe some people will get mad in a few minutes lol

The OP is not a vegetable. He is capable of dressing and feeding himself, and he is probably even allowed to drive. Stop acting like this is some sort of vegetative, fully debilitating condition. He is capable of making informed decisions and using common sense based on his experiences like anyone else. I'm not saying the OP is stupid for having PTSD and it's insulting you would bother to make that assertion, both to me and yourself.

Jeez dude relax, I just said that you should be more polite to the people that's it, I won't argue with you or with anyone it's idiotic, actually argue about this it's stupid and I don't care, do what you want. We can argue all day and it won't change nothing, or do it ala yugioh, pokémon, beyblade way and settle it on smash! (See what I did there) But yeah just chill go and eat a snickers like some other guy said before me.

as you should, know humans are complex being with so many processes

people have triggers and their ability to function in daily life is sometimes independent to their ability to cope with certain triggers


so many people can function normally despite having chemical imbalances or mental disorders


it's not as black and white as you make it seem

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

PTSD is a serious condition that can have serious effects on health and mental instability. My uncle in fact has PTSD from Vietnam and is still undergoing counseling for it. But all he tells us "I saw horrible **** and did horrible **** and that's all I will talk about." PTSD isn't something that can be magically fixed due to sheer will power nor is it something that is to be taking lightly. It does debilitate people to the point they are unable to function normally and that should be respected.

Using the 3DS section of Smashboards to have a debate on PTSD is hardly the place and I will argue, except for the Debate Hall, Smashboards isn't a place for PTSD discussion. Especially when people are being rather frontal to the OP in regards to calling him out on breaking his 3DS. As well, that in itself isn't really grounds for making a thread.

I will be closing this thread as it's just become a PTSD discussion\argument and talking about the OP which is not needed. Feel free to take this discussion to the Debate Hall. YELLO, if you need anyone to talk to, feel free to message myself or any of the staff.
