You know what I do when I don't want to be invaded in Bloodborne?

Use the offline mode that they added to the game
this will be my THIRD time explaining this:

that doesn't prevent all nonconsensual invasions from occurring

it's still a part of the game, and censoring it for yourself won't change that

Except Zelda U was the original commonly used title for it, and it has 'wii u' in the full name.
So, no that would be nothing alike.
that also implies that they're actually gonna call it "The Legend of Zelda Wii U"

the way you phrased your post, you made it sound like you were gonna call it zelda u no matter what
even after they gave it an official title

content creators can suck on this diiiiiiick, adblock is my homeboy. not a chance in hell ill be paying for a youtube subscription.
you should probably not be allowed to use youtube at all, then

40535
No, I'd rather provide them with as much revenue as possible. Ads are the least annoying thing ever. They're not even intrusive. YouTube has made them skippable for the past three or four years.
Ads are pretty annoying and invasive when you're wanting to watch what you clicked on.
Not even a little bit.

40536
There are a number of ways, I don't really know every one of them, but things like clicking links, generating more visitors on their sites, and if a group is really sneaky, an anti-ad-blocker. Individuals use these methods as well, not only that but people sometimes add in small fees for their products, programs, art, music, and people pay for them too. Ads are just one of the easiest ways, there are much better and less intrusive ways to get money on the internet.
oh gee, i guess i should start blocking ads now

40537
There's other ways to support channels you like rather than annoying the hell out of your viewers with ads.
Like what.

And I've never been annoyed the hell out of by an ad. In my life. Try being more tolerant?

40538
Ads aren't the only way sites generate revenue you know, especially larger more popular sites. The internet won't dwindle away just because people use ad-blockers.
Educate me.

40539
I think YouTube makes more than enough money for people using adblock to not be much of an issue.
It's not about YouTube--it's about the individual content creators.

40540
You can install adblock and ever have to worry about 90% of your ad problems ever again.
Or:

That's fucking retarded and only serves to kill the Internet. Ads provide revenue.
By not viewing ads, you're taking away revenue.

Fuck you.

and fine--if being illogical is one's schtick, knock yourself out
i'm not going to stop someone if they enjoy being wrong

all i ask is that they admit that they are wrong
admit that they are illogical

or if they don't think they're being illogical, make an attempt at justifying your actions
failing that, i think you have a moral obligation to concede your imperfections, so as to not influence other people

so yes, ultimately, i don't think there is any way to justify wanting to invade someone in a souls game without their consent
it's an asshole feature of the game that is indefensibly and objectively wrong

i'm not gonna try and stop people from doing it--but i will call you out on it

because if you do, then i think you're an asshole who needs to find better ways to entertain yourself than potentially ruining someone else's day when all they're doing is trying to play a stupid video game

Verb. Verrb verb verb. You can take it a step further even beyond video games. Movies. Movies have higher chances of inciting emotional responses over video games. They can incite stronger emotional reactions.

Logically speaking you don't want to be afraid. If you know the feeling of fear then you know it's not a fun feeling to know. Where video games capitalize on the action and intent aspect of doing something with a player, movies capitalize on immersion.

A horror movie that does it's job.

When you watch a sad movie, a happy movie, a funny movie that makes you laugh, or a horror movie that makes you jump or scream or tense.

Those reactions are real.

So logically speaking there should be no sound reason to pay to go to a movie and scare yourself.

And yet there it is.

It isn't just dark souls Verb. Your attention is just focused on that particular aspect because you didn't enjoy it. You thought about it. But really, it's all around us. We compromise our logic constantly.
i get what you're trying to say, but ultimately, you're leaving out the whole notion of consent, which is where my contentions lie

i don't watch scary movies because i think wanting to be scared is irrational--and anyone who does like being scared, i demand an expalanation from them

and you always get the same responses, too
"the adrenaline"

as if there aren't better/smarter ways of getting adrenaline pumping
like, go outside and ride a bike or something

you're right in saying that we contradict logic constantly--and i think that's an inherent flaw in our psychology
i, personally, choose not to break logic as much as i can

i don't know if what you're doing right now is trying to justify illogical behavior, so i won't pretend like i do
but i will say that it most certainly does not justify illogical behavior--no matter how many people do it, no matter how often

People who use Adblock are the very reason why people are doing this. I'm glad you support the channels you watch through donations, but I mean, who the fuck else does that? Adblock is still retarded, and wrong.

One of the most insufferable groups of people on the Internet. I file them together with furries, bronies, and Dark Souls fans.

And, yes, I do consider all anime fans weeaboos.
