Co-worker start talking about video games

co-worker start talking about video games

having a co-worker

slaving to make your boss richer

You seriously don't do this right?

I wonder how many times this exact thread has been made before.

kek I remember when some guy was watching angry jew videos in the school lobby, that shit was so cringe I felt second hand embarrassment

coworker tells you to play some french game that just came out

tell her I've never heard of it

Coworker starts talking about trading card games

It's me, I'm the coworker.

old man coworker plays world of tanks

new kid who can't drink plays roblox and team fortress 2

30's coworker plays wow

Okay gentlemen, how do you respond to the staple normalfag question "What games do you play?"

just say cod

Games are for children.

normalfags can't fathom not wanting to talk constantly

If I talk to a coworker its because I need to for work things and get straight to the point

One time my boss asked what game I was playing and when I told him he literally googled it right in front of me to see what it was I was almost shaking. Made sure to never talk to him again about that stuff and just reply with "oh nothing special haha"

Why did you think it was a good idea to tell your boss you were emulating Summertime High School. A Young Man’s Notes – How a New Exchange Student Like Myself Ran Into His Childhood Friend On The School Tour, Then For Some Reason Became Super-Popular With The Girls For His Daily Scoops On The School Photography Club Even Though He Only Takes Panty Shots, And What He Thinks As He Goes On Dates During His Summer Of Island School Life for the PS3?

Best game is fucking woman.

If fuck only, at least he'd know I'm just a silly girl loving pervert.
It was Factorio and he now he thinks I'm autistic

I try not to talk to my coworkers much, nothing personal I just don't have much to talk about and it's hard for me to multitask

I pull out picrel and give it to them without saying a word.

If anyone ever asks for you what your hobby is, safest bet is to say that you like to go on walks.
On a personal note, if anyone asks me what I do in my free time I just say I like reading and relaxing and pray they don't ask further, because I just read manga and jerk off.

what's the alternative?

safest bet is to say that you like to go on walks.

if you say that to me I'll asume you're a lazy fat shit

Normalfags don't ask that

pepe the cock

I've got some bad news for you, anon.

What would be considered a non lazy shit hobby?

starting exercise when people start talking about game at work

OK

i immediately reveal my full power level to scare them off. this has worked every time

What if you want to continue being employed?

hobby

I thought that was your routinary exercise, not a hobby. If you walk as a hobby and run at high BPM as physical exercise, there's no problem.

why the fuck would you get fired for that?

co-worker start talking about video games

we are a videogame company

turns out he has shit taste in vidya

notice that there's always a League of Legends stream open on his second monitor

start to disregard his opinions when it comes to game design and other aspects of development

be me, really into retro games

coworker finds out I game

”omg! What re you playing anon? I’m really into Split Fiction right now!”

I just finished 1cc Dodonpachi and also started playing Banjo Kazooie again

blank stare from coworker

”oh… okay. That’s cool! Have a nice day!”

Discussing games with normies is impossible.

Jerk off all day at parents house

co-worker asks if I play vidya

only thing I've played the last three months is Let It Die

tell him no

starting your own business

what's you're gamertag bro all of the bros from work play

Well first we have to establish what they mean by "games that you play". If it's an MMO or VN then you don't play any videogames.

how do I make money that way?
I don't have enough money for it and the risk is too high in my country

Yes they do.

Brazil

Just say [current year sports title] and then nod your head as they go on about fake sports while continuing your work.

Simple.

"I don't play video games."

And then when I go home for the day, I boot up my Dreamcast and play an hour or so of RE2.

minesweeper

You don't have to tell me what happened but you do have to start running

telling coworkers you like sports when you don’t actually like sports is a terrible idea because they WILL try to ask your opinion on sports

Idk, sometimes its fun to pull the string to see if they like anything outside the most mid mainstream games or they trule are just normalfags
The women are always into phoneslop, but the men seem to be capable of forming a taste of their own

I told my fifty year old boss I play Dark Souls and he seemed to visibly brighten up and gushed that he played it too. He told me his mentally handicapped son plays it but can't do it well, so he learned to play it for him so his son could enjoy watching.

Then he segued into Nostalgia Critic and asked if I knew about him, I said I did. Now my boss pays me $50/hr after work to come back to his place and play video games that his son wants to enjoy, while talking to him about Nostalgia Critic.

I play a lot of different things, but I've been playing [vaguely niche but recognizable title] recently.

You should engage the conversation, but people appreciate when you understand that you will bore them if you keep talking.

co-worker makes a Anon Babble thread about video games

getting paid to play dark souls

i couldn't complain, sounds sick

co-worker asks what genre of games I like

Fighting games

Says he likes them too

Get semi-excited and asks which one

"UFC"

Everyone ignored me when I was a kid so I never learned how to hold a conversation. Now they all expect me to talk to them so they don't have anxiety attacks because of 5 minutes of silence. It's annoying.

As soon as they started talking about videogames, I leave. I've already heard too much shit, can't listen to them anymore

I don't get it, you want me to congratulate you for being a monkey?

Everyone ignored me when I was a kid

Why? Were you the weird kid?

H-games

anon
you must realize
some things are just left unsaid
why the fuck would you admit to your coworkers you play games about raping women

Jokes on you I work in a publicly funded organisation. Your taxes fund my lifestyle.

What if he plays games about women raping shotas?

Forgot to turn off the company spyware before launching Imouto Life Fantasy

Having company spyware installed on your personal computer

This is why WFH was a mistake.

doing deliveries with coworker

he starts playing video game OSTs for the entire 3 hour long drive

Boss's kid treated me like complete sub-human and told me I better fucking take it or else he'll cry to daddy claiming I threatened him or something

Pisses me off one day bad enough that boss keeps asking why I look ready to murder somebody

Relent and tell him

Boss screams at him to knock that shit off or else

He continues to he passive aggressive little bitch to me for years but I can tell him off now.

One day told to do day long job with just him in different area as blatant attempt to get us to play nice

He spends literally the entire day insulting me while I say nothing even during lunch

Then starts whining that he's fucking bored of no conversation and says it's bullshit I'm talkative with literally everyone else.

Report him to his dad again for being obnoxious retard.

People are dumb.

OP is a fag and will die alone.

based if its good ost
cringe if its only nintendo slop
giga cringe if its only pokemon

Any specific genre or series he focused on or was it a mixed bag?

I'd play eurobeat

Mushihimesama

almost entirely NES/SNES music. he asked me for my favorite OST but i drew a blank. at one point we drove through a black neighborhood and he was very loudly playing the super mario bros overworld theme. made me lol

have Asian co worker

never mention league or valorant

he eventually stopped interacting

MFW people I work with "know" I used to play video game but no longer do, but I still do and none of them will ever know.

No, I don't want to play video games with them. I get paid to spend time with them, I have 0 reason to spend a single second speaking to any of them outside of work. They will only hold me back in Rivals or Wilds. FF6 is a single player game.

co-worker shows off his days long playtime in random games

such an odd thing to brag about

Wilds

Rivals

Everyone in the office just wants to play shit like CoD after work.

I have to travel two and a half hours to and from work.

I don't get paid to play games with them.

Still get home and play AC6 or Super Robot Wars 30.

I play games for me, I'm social enough when they make me go drinking.

Coworker finds out I play games

Constantly nags me to play CoD with him cause I mentioned that I played Modern Warfare 2 way back when.

Calls me boring everytime I decline

mention game I’m currently playing

autism co worker lore dumps the whole series and spin offs

That is not how you converse. I fucking hate “I know more than you” and these lecturing tone from autists

video games start talking about co-worker

female cubicle-neighbor asks what my background is

tell her it's from a game

"Oh I love video games I play CoD all the time what's it from"

tell her it's from Portal

a few days later

"hey anon I played that portal game and it sucked you don't even shoot anyone!"

I wish I were making this up

If given the choice, would you prefer the autist coworker who's a bit awkward but can really go into a deep discussion about his vidya or the normie gamer who asks if you're gonna get the new NBA game and talks about his GTA heists?

The autist will know how to do his job. I don't care to talk to either of them.

Ya blew it...

And everyone clapped.

Autist if you want to waste as much work time as possible. Normie that only talk about video games are not normie.

Anon she was 400 pounds and I look like Jason Bateman.
She blew it.

I had an unfortunate experience of having some know-it-all autists as workmates. I ended up telling them to shut up because they keep talking loudly about some Japshit me and other coworkers don't care about before clock-out time

neither
anons like me aren't made for this kind of behavior

Woodworking
Car shit
Painting
GETTIN THAT PUSSAYYYY

Gardening. It's always a good idea to have some kind of idea of how to grow food. Bitches love a man who can grow their own food and will demand it's the best produce they've ever had.

Fishkeeping. It's calming. You can get artsy with it and make the tank look nice. Like a living art work. Best of all it's one of the few hobbies not infested by politics. Like you can watch fishkeeping youtubers all day and not once will a single one of them stop talking about the topic and explain to you the importance of trans rights.

Hiking/camping/hunting. Basically anything outdoorsy.

Here is the secret You can have multiple hobbies at once
