i always say i like some shooter or sports game when people ask about vidya. one time i made the mistake of telling a female coworker that i played the sims and she just kept telling me stories of whatever drama her characters had happen to them.
A guy at my work at my work is a pcgay, but not a complete butthole, so I shoot the breeze with him sometimes. Occasionally I'll mention something really casual / Nintendo / PS / Xbox to rustle his jimmies
>anon drives another person away for literally no reason and continues to be alone and miserable
Many such cases
If I wasn't at work right now getting paid I'd be with some friends being happy. I literally got paid to solve this captcha. What's your excuse?
>Guy at work asks what I'm into
>Eh, anything but racing
>Like what specifically? CoD?
>Nah, CDDA recently
>Oh what's that
>Survival game
>Cool
More or less
We just don't talk about games because we play different shit. We do talk about movies. No reason to assume the worst before even attempting to speak to people
To be honest I was just fricking with the dude. I fully expected him to think it was funny. But he thought I was serious so I rolled with it.
No. I don't want to scare them.
Subtly. This is my phone's wallpaper. If they know, they know... but they can't say anything either. It's the perfect crime.
no they just think you’re a weirdo permavirgin with some affliction of furhomosexualry
>my ringtone is the MGS codec sound
ive seen a millions gays like you
That's some projection hipster. At what point did I suggest a ringtone makes me special?
A million real homies
Yesterday at work I informed my boss of rule 34 63 and 1
Today I regret it
Everyone at my work are redditors so I have to put up with all the flavour of the week games that they all want to play, and play together, and they all just waste money buying the games but then never actually playing. I got suckered into it once, and I now know from experience how flakey redditors are and they can't be trusted.
>my ringtone is ruby/diamond drop sound effect from SEAL Online
>nobody notices it ever because it's always on silent
>mfw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uceYgGsy53Y starts playing

real gamer homie ringtone
Oof.
>get new job
>lowest of the totem in terms of power
>start out easy, undersold my skills hard
>its been a year since then
>they know i am well beyond even their most skilled employees all the way up the food chain
>theyve only gotten a taste of my real skills
>got to show the ceo a glimpse at the bare minimum id consider a "good job"
>is so blown away ive been guaranteed a promotion and effectively a blank check
they will never know how much i hold back until im gone and their company sinks trying to replace me
the trick is to only let it trickle through once you establish the people around you are cool
Yes, helps keep people away from me. Only ever failed me once.
>work in videogame industry
>judge coworkers by their taste in vidya
>during meetings, ignore or place less value on opinions of coworkers who like garbage like AssCreed
this one especially
>they all keep shilling indie shit
>look into it
>its all trash
>even humored trying a few
>only reinforced their standards are low
>mention a genuinely good game older than they are
>"why would i play that though"
the taste these people have today is fricking disastrous
I generally try to be subtle enough about it that only true homies will understand
For example, my notification sound is the Persona 5 one.
Also, I have social skills, am funny and am fairly confident, so no one begrudges me for being a nerd
In my first year of university I was obsessed with MGS
I saw a guy in one of my classes wearing a MGS shirt and I thought about saying 'you're pretty good' but I was too cowardly
Anyway I didn't make a single friend or acquaintance in university and haven't made any 3 years after graduation
>didn't make a single friend or acquaintance in university and haven't made any 3 years after graduation
S-tier stealth
Forget snake, that's sam fisher levels of being unseen
My ringtone is the pornhub jingle
They keep talking about projects I've been responsible for not realizing I was involved in a number of these projects due to how well i separated online identity vs in-person identity.
One of them picked up on this and has been looking into some of my shit, and every so often they realize not only have I gotten around, I am far more skilled than I ever let on.
They've been asking for help to learn very niche things since then and I feel like I am raising the perfect weapon
If you ever identify my ringtone I will change it to something more obscure. Do not test me frickers
I like to listen to that one HiFi song.
Unless you're Russian you know it from a game series.
you, i like you
Don't have to be Russian to have played MnF.
Not really. I've been using this as my ringtone for years now, but I don't think people over here even know what a visual novel is. The most "interesting" conversation with a coworker (female) I ever had was when we talked about animu, but it quickly devolved into korean shit.
There's a cute girl at my workplace that's unsurprisingly into Zelda. We talk about it on occasion
Won't make any moves on her though
Why not anon? I talked with a 4/10 girl that's into PoE and she baked me bread
dont frick your coworkers
>>my ringtone is the MGS codec sound
I don’t think I’ve actually ever met someone who plays as many video games as me in real life except one of my childhood friends. For everyone else, the closest I’ve gotten was mass effect and wow fans.
Post cool vidya-related ringtones
Too specific. Just post good vidya music.
My ringtone's a chiptune pony song. It's only chiptune because I don't like vocals in my ringtones.
