    Straight up I’ll never forget getting into voice comms with my teams and hearing the distinct sounds of someone raging and breaking their keyboard

    Expensive smashing sounds

    “Thanks asshole now my keyboard’s broken! This is because you all suck so much!”

      Choose chaos: “Poser. A real rage ends with your PC smashed.”

      They probably won’t do it right then, but the seed has been planted. And self-destruction that expensive might even lead to some self-reflection that could lead to them getting a better handle on that rage.

      That one bash.org quote stuck with me, about the guy who needed to print his paper for the next day and threw his printer out his window like 6 stories up when it wouldn’t, only to realize he had inserted the wrong USB key into it or something dumb and easily solvable like that. He could have ended up in prison for that if someone had been in the landing zone.
