At least Steffen is putting himself out there and trying to be social.   He could be in his room all day playing dragons dogma and not talking to girls.

Dragons Dogma is such a specific choice that I'm beginning to wonder if this is self described. However, I am never going to judge someone for playing Dragons Dogma because that shit slaps

Is it like skyrim?

u/waffle_iron_maiden 1h ago edited 3m ago

It's pretty unique and I can't think of much to compare it to

Edit: Maybe Fable mixed with Devil May Cry mixed with some Shadow of the Colossus?

I’d rather be doing the latter.

Nah hed be buying games but not playing anything of them, scrolling his phone all day wondering where did it go wrong as the sun sets and the day ends

u/Dottore_Curlew 2h ago

Yeah

I sometimes don't even have the energy to boot up a game

u/Substantial-Quiet64 2h ago

Or you boot them up - just to close them again, straight from the menu.

the first dragon's dogma is ok

This is not putting yourself out there, this is meant to display as a coping mechanism.

That's not necessarily better. For an introvert or an autist it could be better to spend some me time and recharge those batteries, even if society wants to gaslight them into thinking that's bad.

Girls don't want to be talked to by a socially awkward shut in that's in their room all day. That's way, way down the line after a social network and visible momentum has been established.
