was at an "adult function" and video games came up and it's always so awkward. after this guy went on about Helldivers 2 and Palworld, he asked me: "what do you play?" and i was all, like, "uhh ... hmmm .. ermm..." and he was eyeing me very curiously and then i said: "uh well actually i don't play video games" and made some excuse to leave the area.
@buru5 😂 I've been in situations like this. It IS weird. Talked to a physical therapist one time during a massage, he's like I only like DOTA and things like that. Blew his mind I could still play Wolf 3D, original Doom, DKC. He said he couldn't do games with graphics like that. Me, I don't wanna play a movie. I don't. I want a GAME.
@jake4480 it's not that i have disdain for people who only do the "mainstream" stuff, i just don't want to have to explain what "Phantasy Star Online" is or whatever i happen to be playing. it also gives off a snobby vibe on my part (which i am totally a snob but i try to avoid unleashing the beast)
@jake4480@buru5 you don’t have to lead with Phantasy Star Online 😂 for example, the FF7 remakes are something a “modern gamer” will likely know, so it’s a good way to bring the ps1 original into the mix.
I for one would be delighted to meet someone who’s enthusiastic about Helldivers, even though I haven’t played it myself.
