going for maximum clickbait, but at the same time, everything must be 100% honest

People Who Didn't like The Last Jedi Are Fucking Idiots

There's a discrepancy here.

no there isn't

thank you for specifying the vehicle they were driving in

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

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

BACKWATER

Are you sure it wasn’t just romaine lettuce

was thinking along those lines at first, but then i looked closer and saw antennae

life is a fucking miserable hell where we can't even eat comfortably (or eat at all)

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

>this is a thing

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

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
