    Even worse when this happens in the middle of a work meeting.

    This is why I have fidget toys on my work desk, to keep me focused on the boring shit someone is rambling about in a Teams meeting.

    Thinking about Animal Crossing New Horizons while trying to listen to husband talk about Dwarf Fortress.

    Sometimes I am worried I gave him a full time job by showing him that game!

    My spouse always thinks about his software projects and current problems/challenges he’s facing in these projects. I once realized that as soon as he starts to say one thing that doesn’t fit the conversation, I lost him and there’s no coming back for the time being.
    This usually happens at least once a day and he’s actually sorry but he can’t help it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      Thanks for understanding, this happens when I speak to any of my closest friends, I just go off on something for like an hour and then realise and feel guilty afterwards

    Stardew Valley mods.

    I’ve got upwards of 300 and still crave more for fine-tune tweaking. I’m still sad about the headphones mod being discontinued, though.

      Years ago I would download mods for The Sims 2 from modthesims site. Then I found out about all the other blogs with high quality content. I ended up so obsessed that I stopped playing the game and was just adding more and more mods. That’s why I played Stardew on the Switch instead of the PC. I would just obsess about mods and neglect actually playing the game 😅

    Not something that really came up unnaturally in conversation, but after having obtained a Japanese Dreamcast copy of Sonic Adventure ( probably the only time I’ll ever buy a foreign game that has to be imported ), I got into a conversation about Dreamcast with my mother. Ended up telling her about how if the battery wasn’t dead on my VMU that I could do the weird Chao tamagachi thing… which lead to me saying how I figured out some person in Greece apparently made a VMU2 that has a lot of cool upgrades that I would absolutely go on a pre-order list for if it weren’t for the economy in general in the USA.
