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?
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?
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.
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?
Hey,
Just came home sick from work.. I live in Australia so sick leave is alright...
How you doing?
The Grammar Police fails to capitalize the pronoun "I"? 🤔
I am an antenna engineer and I quit because I hated the company I worked for as they embraced the corporate American model.
One my favorite hobbies begins with the letter “J”. Guess the hobby and also my age!
Jerking off. The age i can't say until i have enough clues
Actually it was a different hobby but I certainly enjoy that one too. Maybe I should try to guess your age?
You are a funny guy. Have a crack at it. Try to guess my age.
Early 20s!
I glaned through your post history but I’m not sure how spot on I am at all.
Since we’re in casual conversation I gotta say something regarding the “girls taking a shit” post. That has always been a personal mind trick for me when I’ve caught myself idolizing people I’m attracted to or thinking they are out of my league. I just remember “hey, she takes nasty shits just like the rest of us. Probably even nastier.” Puts me in check and brings me back down to reality if I’m nervous when interacting with someone. Anyways, thought I would just over share.
Good guess. I'm 19.
Also, how did you know about that post? I thought it was supposed to be deleted by the mods. It just hit me like a fucking truck all of a sudden and i was getting shade for it in the comments like wtf, this is groundbreaking stuff guys. Sabrina Carpenter? She takes shits. Jennifer Lawrence? Takes shits. And there's no way it could be classy. But your mind trick seems like it might solve my approach anxiety problem, so thanks for that.
I'll play, though I may not be fully forthcoming, depending on the questions.
I play video games, like sports, eat my vegitables, and think the world is currently a dumpster fire.
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.
