Friend: *looks at my phone* Is that the Pornhub comment section?
Me: What the... oh, nah, I swear, just happens to have the same colors.
Friend: *doesnt believe me, fair enough* What is it then?
Me: Uh, you remember the game Destiny?
Friend: Yeah, that was fun back in the day.
Me: Okay, well I’m on the Destiny community website, only I’m not actually talking about it. In fact, it’s a forbidden topic on a certain part of it.
Friend: *visible confusion* Okay, so what is it you’re talking about?
Me: Well right now I’m weighing the benefits of keeping the current government, a republic, or pledging myself to an empirical takeover.
Friend: As in, the US government?
Me: No no no, there’s a government on this section of the site... it’s kind of like a roleplay thing- no no not the kinky kind, more like D&D.
Friend: So you spend your spare time in a section of the Destiny website and roleplay as a supporter of a type of fake government?
Me: Well, sort of, I’ve always thought of myself as a bit of a wild card but you’ve got the general idea.
Friend: I don’t understand this place.
Me: *tries desperately to find an analogy* the vibe is sort of like Reddit.
Friend: *a dawn of recognition* Oh yeah?
Me: Yeah, it’s sort of like reddit, only much smaller and you know everyone there. People just post, like, random shit that wouldn’t belong on Facebook.
Friend: Sounds more like Tumblr...
Me: No no no, not at all... I’m telling you it’s more like mini-Reddit.
Friend: You need a hobby...

I’ve explained offtopic to my girlfriend, and now she’s genuinely interested about how the war is going. She doesn’t seem at all upset at me for destroying the city though

This is so relatable. I tried to explain it to my parents and they looked at me with genuine concern.
-
Bro. Just say gaming forum. Works so much simpler.
-
I’ve tried understanding what the f*** is going on down here, but I can never understand Help

This is why I wanted you for President 10\10

OFF-TOPIC DEFIES EXPLANATION! This is the post of the day

Or you could just say it’s a forum on Bungie.net. Seems simpler.
-
Where is off topic date night?

Edited by CAMMAX008: 7/26/2019 4:29:54 PMI told my irl friends about Offtopic but didn't dare explain how it worked.

Accurate to the point of fear.

Ha! And you are a teen. Try explaining to adults that you play video games and lurk in OffTopic They look at me like “when are you going to grow up?” And I stand stalwart “Never!”
-
Perfectly made
-
So accurate

Some of us bounty hunt other members.

You did a much better job of explaining this site to your friend than I did trying to explain it to my wife.
