    I'll say this: the universe of No Man's Sky is vastly more appealing than my direct surroundings... and the PC gaming community is so unbelievably toxic that I honestly don't understand how any of you interact with it. I was gonna buy an NVidia Shield just to run Plex but now I think I won't just 'cuz I don't wanna get any PC gamer cooties on my life.

I've been playing Dark Souls 3. One thing they got right is no voice / text communication in PvP / P+PvE. You've gotta communicate with emotes and environmental context. And the messages you can leave on the ground for players in other worlds is limited to a pre-determined set of words.

Which has led to a lot of "finger but hole" runes behind charred bodies hung over railings.

You know what? The only game I've ever played with any sort of online component was Journey. And even that was annoying.

I've determined that I play games for the escapism. I don't WANT your fucking grille in my universe, that's why I'm here, bitch. If I wanted to interact with your sorry ass I'd go take a walk. Now leave me to my AI and my polygons because fuck you.

Oh but there's nothing more satisfying than plunging your katana through the back of the invader who wasted 20 minutes of your time camping out in the cave of satyrs and sewer rats and blocking your progress forward.
