Look you fucking retards unless there are more options now on the Xbone the only way to file a complaint against unwanted messages was file a complaint and select message and harassment or hostile or whatever. This isn't a court of law and I also wouldn't put it past Jono to keep messaging this person.
But he didn't.

i don't know

if this ariana grande person said something like "please leave me alone," and jono continued to message them, that would definitely be harassment and worth terminating his account over

one little shit-talky message, i don't think so—you could argue it's unnecessary and abusive, though

also, if you have the ability to block people on XBL, i think that should automatically raise the bar for what should be considered banworthy, because you're already given all the tools necessary to prevent people from fucking with you

then again, it just hit me that you guys are probably just doing this to fuck with jono, because he's fun to fuck with

have at it then i guess, even though that might qualify as harassment in and of itself

i would describe jono's message as rude, abusive, instigatory, and perhaps inflammatory, but not harassment—but even then, in thinking about it, all of those terms are pretty tenuous as well

harassment has to be a repeated or prolonged interaction beyond reason, otherwise any simple insult posted on the internet could be considered harassment, which would be silly

not defending him, but that's the only thing harassment should be considered to be

welcome back
Thanks Verby. Good to see you :) how have you been?
pretty okay, all things considered

still writing, still working at my dad's record shop, still going to school at the end of the month, but what's new is that i'm taking my first steps into growing my youtube channel—very soon, i'm gonna start posting game reviews and writing video essays and stuff (because there's totally not enough video essayists on youtube right now), because at some point i need to find a way to make some kind of career out of the few things i enjoy doing, and with my writing and video editing skills, i think i should be getting a move on in that department

so hopefully that'll be cool

outrage culture is probably the worst thing to come about from the political camp i identify with the most, and it's extremely frustrating to watch so many different people have their careers destroyed over not only the littlest of things, but the littlest of things that have happened literal decades ago—it's sickening and draconian and it needs to stop

but while it does make me happy to see the entire cast of gotg showing their support for gunn, and it would be a dream to get him back on board (gotg3 will be a fucking dumpster fire without him, believe me), i honestly don't see disney backtracking that easily, because it would make them look extremely capricious and unprofessional

i mean, here's hoping i guess

Almost none of you are funny. I made this thread ironically. Your "memes" are fucking old as shit and trash.
there is a documented period of time in which you thought this was funny
lmao the whole point of me making this thread was that I was making fun of posting memes in the first place by posting Facebook tier memes ironically. Nobody understood it and for some reason took as a literal meme thread.
there is a documented period of time in which you thought posting facebook memes ironically was still funny
Yeah of course dude that's why I didn't post in this thread again until page 7 where I typed "200". Lmao I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but most of you here are very easily amused and have no idea when you're being mocked.
i probably liked maybe 5 posts in this thread

Why is it not clever? It ties into the lore better than almost any game I've ever played. Most games have either no real explanation for it at all (you just match up with someone else and play the game) or have one that's extremely shallow (all characters are actually toys in a box or it's all just a simulation).
that's because most games of this nature don't operate under the pretense that they need to have an explanation for it

and even for the ones that do, like smash—why is it "shallow" to have smash be a representation of a child playing with his toys? i would actually consider that pretty ingenious—sure, it may not lend itself to the complexity and intrigue that a souls game would with its lore, but it's the sheer novelty of the concept that makes it so clever to me, because it can be used to justify even the game's most ridiculous match-ups (like pikachu vs. bayonetta vs. the duck hunt dog)

and if you know anything about subspace emissary, there's even more neat symbolism you can read into from that mode as well

the fact that dark souls went all the way with it, so to speak, doesn't really make it more or less "clever" than anything else—i would use the word ambitious, and that might be the word you're looking for as well, but it's not particularly clever because it doesn't exactly make me rethink how the game functions

"game world where player avatars can interact with each other" is not exactly the most groundbreaking concept, and it doesn't become more so when you say "oh and that's also the plot of the game"

anyone could've come up with that

Dark Souls multiplayer has a very detailed backstory that perfectly and seamlessly ties into bla bla bla
just so you know, i was originally trying to talk about the pvp completely detached from everything else about the game, including the lore, which is what i assumed you were doing as well

if not, then i guess i can take back what i said—i would say the lore is very rich and well thought-out, almost undeniably, but i think that's a separate concept

you're praising the lore's cleverness right now, not the multiplayer's

Some of my fondest memories playing video games are from Dark Souls PvP.
Still one of the most clever and fun multiplayers of any game I've ever played. Top tier PvP without a doubt.
i'll allow you to take "fun" with you

what's "clever" about it? the fact that it's woven into the lore? why is that clever

"top tier" is a nonsense description, given that backstabs are such a big part of it—pretty immersion-breaking, considering it would never happen in an actual fair swordfight, even with magic involved

also lag

the game only had to implement pvp in an ethically acceptable manner, and i would've been able to have similar experiences

i've heard it through the grapevine on several occasions that future installments make it more ethical, so here's hoping

I feel like you should at least give that portion of the game a try before talking about stuff like that. You are in the covenant in name alone and have have never done anything for it, nor have you unlocked any of the rewards, advanced its interests or made any contributions to its side in the larger balance between covenants.
not true, killed lautrec, it counts—i even found another ear in the painted world, i just never got around to offering it—and i would even argue that my choice to kill petrus towards the end of the game was on behalf of my covenant's cause as well

there's many many things wrong with this post in general (as are most of your posts regarding anything to do with dark souls MP), but i'll save it for now

i will say that, even if i had played online, it's not likely i would've met very many players anyway—it's the second oldest game on an outdated platform with a remaster already out on next gen consoles, so it would've been just as empty anyway

when i pick up the remaster on switch and play it again, i'll play online—but i will not like it

When did we decide that artificial difficulty doesn't make things harder? It's the cheapest and easiest way to make things more difficult but it still achieves that goal. Having an enemy hit harder and have a larger health pool makes the game harder.
it's in the term—it doesn't achieve any goal except making the game waste more of your time

ask yourself what you're really testing—your skills, or your patience

games that test your patience rather than your skill can only be described as "hard" if you want to be simplistic about it

The ez mode shit was sarcastic. Me suggesting that you not level up your character or weapons was sarcastic. You thinking that doing so doesn't make the game easier is retarded.
it's basic knowledge of how games work

making an enemy take twice as long to kill while making yourself half as strong doesn't make a game more difficult, it just makes it more tedious—this is basic game design, and nobody who knows anything about how games work would tell you this model is anything more than a classic example of artificial difficulty

a game becoming easier would involve giving the player more options, removing options from enemies
a game becoming harder would entail giving the enemies more options, taking away player options

tweaking numbers has shit to do with real difficulty, and you have to have the smallest of brains not to understand this
