It is the incest implications of motherfucker that makes it rude, not gender.
Maybe it is worthy of exemption from the no gendered insult rule?
Wait does motherfucker always specifically mean that specific mother? I always thought it's origins were more from like something said when angry at a stepdad type thing.
I've retired it for the most part anyway, more cause is also kinda a boring one.
I dunno why but horseshit sounds more crass to me.
I can get really Texan when I scream out horseshit. I also say horsefeathers a lot instead of horseshit.
I had a super Christian friend that I played a LOT of Halo 3 and Reach with and he'd always get angry and say stuff like, "Gosh darn it!" and "Gee whiz!" and "God bless you!" in an angry-sounding voice and it was the most hilarious shit I'd ever heard. It was pretty much like this:

I prefer the South Park approach. Censors wouldn't let them say "motherfucker" so they changed it to "uncle fucker" which was immediately funnier, more memorable, and somehow more dirty sounding (probably because "motherfucker" is so passe).
I have a thing where I just do I sharp intake of breath and make a hissing noise with my teeth any time I get slightly stressed or excited. I never notice it.
I apparently used to do it a ton when I was learning to drive, and my mum kept on trying to get me to stop, because she thought that it would make me sound nervous as hell and not in control.
Apparently, everyone in the next room over can tell when I'm playing video games, because I'll just be making those noises all the time.
speak directly to the game/developers in various shades of pleading, cajoling and/or rationalization as to why I should be able to do the thing I am unable to do
this generally degenerates into scolding and eventually disparagement and I usually end up having to apologize to the imaginary people/concepts I was arguing with
When playing multiplayer fps games I will applaud the person that killed me or give them a thumbs up and a 'yeah!' It helps me realise my dying is helping someone else have fun, so that's cool. But in single player or against bots I am not only dying, but my computer opponent takes no satisfaction in it! What's the point? There's no benefit! I hope that they one day implement the learning style ai into fps bots. The kind where they can do whatever they want but they're rewarded for doing certain things (killing opponents), this then prompts them to get better at doing those certain things. Then I'll at least know that the computer is enjoying itself as it kills me.

I had a lot of fun playing BF3 with randoms. I don't have a headset, so I had no idea what anyone was saying, and I am complete garbage at videogames (I think my lifetime k/d was something like 0.25:1?), but I would be laughing my arse off everytime I got killed in a funny way. Occasionally I would luck into knifing someone that thought they were pretty good and then I would run around for ages trying really hard not to get killed rather than trying to get any kills, and sometimes they would get super-pissed off if they didn't manage to revenge kill me, and just keep coming after over and over.
what, for the movie? what reason would they have had to change it? it was getting an R rating regardless
Because you still have to earn an R rating and some films have too many instances of The Bad Stuff to get that. Then they cross over into NC-17 and that's a death knell for any film.
I have managed to avoid destroying any controllers, but only just barely. One attempt at the Dragonforce song on Guitar Hero 3 resulted in the guitar over my head about to go into the floor before I managed to stop myself and do something else for a while.

Such nostalgia...I actually just watched a video of someone playing that song on youtube a few days ago. I regret selling GH3.

Or if it really gets to me...
Horse shit.

Steam // Secret Satan
It's all Greek to me

When Sunless Sea gets to me I mutter darkly to myself, almost in character.
Fucking proton fascists.
the crt was fine though
CRTs are probably made from solid platinum.
My college roommate had a fairly large one, and I swear to God it was harder to move than the goddamn couch.
uh

more frustration makes it more drawn out and quieter
I didn't mean to, I just didn't realize that drywall isn't all that strong.
In hindsight, maybe it shouldn't have taken me another 10 years to realize that platformers weren't really my cup of tea.
A light inconvenience is a "Motherfucker." My twelfth failed attempt is a "Oh god bless it! Cheese and friggin' rice with this nonsense."
"Really? That's a one-hit-kill?. Of course it is. That's fair. That's a fun game. Good fucking job everybody."
I was browsing the Web in the next room for half an hour, listening to rock music interspersed with swearing.

I do the same thing I do when some douchebag in a pickup truck fishtails around a corner in the rain
"YOU'RE A COOL GUY. GREAT JOB."
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
