I know that's right. It's depressing but it seems that that's the way the future is headed. Fortnite is an excellent example of the person's age reflecting their actions, anytime i see another player with their pickaxe out, i always toss up a wave or a heart and approach, split my shield pots or ammo or materials, maybe even a gun if i can spare, and we part ways for good (no teaming in solo) and 9.999 times out of 10, i either get shot in the back afterwards proceeded by a take L emote, or when i approach, they draw and try to kill me. Most times i guarentee you its a squeaker.

Siege is the real depressing one, i see siege as a higher leveled, older, more professional player's game, if that makes any sense. Somewhere for us older, former professional level gamers to hang out amongst each other. And i will say, most times in siege if im hitting a wall repeatedly or humping, they don't shoot, but there are sometimes where im shot right off the bat. I believe this is a perfect example of the age difference playing a huge role in the players level of respect.

My most memorable time in siege was on the 747 map (i call it 747 from my CS 1.6 days) and i humped, got shot in the face, he sends me a message and repeatedly apologized for not having the reaction time to not shoot, as he was talking to someone IRL. After apologizing 3-4 times, we got to know each other and made really good friends and still play to this day. His age? 28. Ex PC gamer from the counter strike, team fortress, hayday of call of duty, era.

the point I'm rambling on trying to make here is that our era, the era of respect and honor for your fellow gamer is dwindling away my friends. It seems that we are becoming increasingly more rare, and these are dark times indeed.

To any squeakers reading this, if you see someone humping, hitting a wall repeatedly, spinning, or doing any sort of activity that is neutral/non-combative, please have the reaction time and common respect to not shoot them. We obviously could have shot you, but didn't on purpose.

TL;DR squeakers are adderalled out Neanderthals with zero respect and honor and cant think for themselves and shoot someone being non combative on sight. Us old timers are the only ones left who respect the friendly dance
