ragequit mode
The psychological state where every small frustration is being processed as a personal attack and the exit button is looking very appealing — you're not quite gone yet, but you're one lag spike away from being done.
Definitions
The psychological state where every small frustration is being processed as a personal attack and the exit button is looking very appealing — you're not quite gone yet, but you're one lag spike away from being done. Ragequit mode can apply beyond gaming: it's the energy of someone who's already mentally checked out of a meeting, a relationship, or a group project and is just waiting for the final straw. The body is present but the patience has fully left the building.
After the third rubber-banding glitch I went full ragequit mode — didn't even finish the match.

Someone or something that just radiates the energy of an impending dramatic exit — a person whose whole demeanor telegraphs that they will absolutely not handle frustration well. Ragequit coded people have tells: they mutter under their breath when losing, they start narrating how unfair everything is, they grip controllers a little too tight. You can spot them before they even quit. In non-gaming contexts, it describes someone who clearly won't stick around when things get hard.
