Hey love this idea! Random shit to start a convo: I just lost my job today (not great but I'll be ok). I am maybe turning the corner w/ a longstanding chronic pain condition, after which I'm gonna get back to my hobby of fighting people in the park.
Also, if you feel like playing too: what have you been up to today?
Hey mate glad you like the idea. Sorry to hear about your job. If you just want to vent other than playing the game, then that's fine too. Happy to hear that you're recovering from chronic pain as well. You fight people in the park as a hobby? What kinda hobby is that?
I haven't been up to much. Mostly just brushing up on my Excel knowledge in preparation for my internship next week
Hi, how's your week going?
Hey mate, my week's been great. I've just been brushing up on my Excel skills for my upcoming internship.
How's your week been?
My brain is skibidi tier rotten and I have absolutely no money in my pockets, but Boxxy is still the queen and fr fr nobody can prove me wrong.
...sorry, I'm doing it on purpose to throw you off tracks. How's going?
The grammar pedant in me did not appreciate that first paragraph.
It's going great for now. Tell me about some of your niche interests. Nerd out about it if you want
If it's any consolation, the grammar pedant in me didn't like it either. Even if I was the one writing it. (Also, I'm glad that things are going great for you.)
As for niche interests: gardening, cooking, simulation games, constructed languages, ancient languages. Some tidbits of oil painting, but frankly, I suck at it; perhaps I should stick to digital watercolours. (This reminds me Island - the main character was recalling his travels through Switzerland, his mum painting a watercolour, and his dad sarcastically saying "The milk chocolate advertisement that [brand] rejected.")
But I digress. My gardening is currently pepper plants, I'm trying to breed a new variety following very specific criteria - heat, colour, shape, size. Once I'm done I'm going to spread the seeds here and there, through the city, as some small act of anarchy.
That's a lot of niche interests. Constructed languages particularly are quite the interesting... interest. I never bothered with it because i found no utility for them.
How long have you been gardening?
Oh this is such a neat idea for a game! I'll give you a misleading hint: I grew up watching the Andy Griffith show.
I am an antenna engineer and I quit because I hated the company I worked for as they embraced the corporate American model.
The Grammar Police fails to capitalize the pronoun "I"? 🤔
I'll play, though I may not be fully forthcoming, depending on the questions.
I think this is a pretty entertaining game. Good idea
Thanks. Ready to get your age guessed?
Looking forward to it! Do your worst!
Alright let's start. What do you do to wind down when you're done for the day?
Cook dinner, and right now I'm watching Yellowstone Season 2.
If I weren't doing that, I would likely be playing a video game.
I play video games, like sports, eat my vegitables, and think the world is currently a dumpster fire.
