there’s nothing more satisfying than being an asshole in mario kart

True story: a main source of relationship tension with my Douchebag Ex was the fact that I could beat him hollow in Mario Kart: Double Dash. Both the game itself and the Gamecube we played it on were mine, but when I first got them, he was better than me, and never once made any concessions towards my lesser skill when I lost to him. But the more I played, the better I got, until I was routinely leaving him in the dust - and when THAT happened, oh man, we had A PROBLEM. He’d go into ranty tantrums because, and I quote, “it’s just UNFAIR if you red shell me at the start of the first lap - you KNOW I can’t recover from that, and there’s no point my even playing after that, you might as well just finish the game without me!”. And I was like… not only didn’t you give a shit about the apparent “etiquette” of red shelling the lesser players early on when that was ME, but what you’ve just described is, in fact, the LITERAL POINT OF THE GAME. We aren’t playing this on fucking co-op mode - I’m not exhibiting bad sportsmanship by beating you early, and if you can’t catch up, that’s not actually my fault? And he’d huff and whine about how it wasn’t any fun to play if he never won, to the point where we eventually stopped playing all together.

The moral of the story is, don’t date anyone who’s happy for you to lose to them, but throws a fit if they lose to you, and ESPECIALLY not if it’s at the same game.
