What the fuck is wrong with gamers at work?
I can't even talk to these people. I work with thousands of people, and in nearly 20 years I never met someone with even halfway decent taste in games.
I don't even bring it up anymore because I know that I will have to endure future conversations.
They only talk about Call of Duty and ForkKnife. That's literally it. Nothing else.
You can try to explain that you're not really into those games, but once break the gaming seal it's over. They will always approach you and be like "ForkKnife dropped the classic maps, you should check it out".
I'm mentally like, "just get me the fuck out of here". I'm ready to quit slacking off and actually earn my money.
On extremely rare occasions you might meet some guy that played some Nintendo developed game on Switch (Zelda), or a Resident Evil guy, but that's the best you can really hope for. Even that is an extremely rare experience that should be cherished.
If I met one person that played something other than COD or Fortnite I would be pretty surprised.
If I met someone that actually played something like fighting games, SHMUPS, or some good, lesser-known games like Katamari Damacy, Guilty Gear, or Shadow of the Colossus, I would probably shit my pants on the spot. If they still played retro games other than Pokemon and Nintendo developed games, I would shit the pants for certain, 100%.
Then there are the "cheap gamers". They won't play anything unless it's free. Basically only shitty mobile cash grab games. Not even good free games. They are just so fucking cheap, that they won't even spend $5.00 on a real game that will give them 80 hours of enjoyment.
You can't recommend anything. No one will ever listen. If you try to lend them a game, so they can experience what a real game is, they will never even try it. They will just keep saying they been too busy while going on about that COD arena mode game.
The whole experience is mentally draining and a complete waste of time...
Hopefully some of you are more lucky.
