And it doesn’t even have to be something they find particularly interesting. People are social animals. The socialising is less important than the subject of discussion.
Hell, people will watch/do stuff they find boring, just so they can have something to chat about with colleagues or friends on a monday. A bit like that IT Crowd episode, where they pretend to care about football/soccer.
In this case, the guy picked something he guessed they probably both played as children and had some nostalgia for, resulting in a low stakes conversation while they figure out if they’re attracted to each other.
It’s actually a good flirting/bonding tip. Talk about something you both enjoyed as children, so the first interaction has positive associations and is relatively low stakes. Having differing opinions on some aspect of roblox isn’t ever going to be a deal breaker, is it?
I would never date someone who plays Roblox. That company employs child labour using loopholes in the labour regulations. They get kids designing games for them to sell microtransations to other kids. It should be illegal.
Kids should be playing games without dark patterns, like Deep Rock Galactic or Stardew Valley. My baby cousin likes Plague Inc and Noita, those are good games for a kid to play.
You realize how much of a class indicator this and the rest of your comment is, right? Roblox runs in a browser, none of the poor kids who’ve played Roblox recognize what you’re saying — they’re just poor and don’t have options.
Morals aren’t really valuable if all they do is act as big waving signs saying ‘I don’t like the poors’.
Yeah my girlfriend was straight up homeless and was able to play roblox on her family laptop — so my anecdote counteracts yours. Go again, we shall conjure every anecdote in existence in order to get to the bottom of whether or not poor people play free to play games.
Oh I guess I just answered the debate in that last sentence. Nevertheless, let us circle this drain together — friend.
Because it truly is baffling to her that two individuals can share interests beyond ‘hey, wan sum fuck?’ .
Yep.

…The point of the post was that two adults are bonding over playing roblox as adults and how cringe it is. Not that they played when they were kids
