I like to message those I play with. If they play well I praise them. If they play poorly I tell them so. Sometimes they respond. When they do they're usually twits.
Example 1: Playing Dark Souls yesterday, I was summoned as a Church boss, killed the host's two co-op partners, but after a long and tightly contested dual I was defeated by the host with a parry and critical strike. Very cool finish to a good fight. I messaged him/her saying "nice parry, well done, good battle". Host messages me back saying "It's not difficult to parry, you just need to blah blah blah...". What a twit.
Example 2: Again, playing Dark Souls, I messaged a victorious invading phantom saying they were cheap (player hid behind enemies whole battle, equipped invisibility ring and used great bow from distance, never fought 1 on 1 once - real cowardly tactics) and they messaged me back saying "lol, you sound mad, bro, git gud, noob". And that's how most gamers I communicate with sound. It's like they all went to the same school. Why do they all sound like that? Where's the individuality? The genuine expression? Twits.
