Me trying to explain Offtopic to my irl friends

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...

  • 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!”
