this is obviously an attempt at small talk, but stymied by the fact people outside game dev have heard of zero games (with a 1% margin of error)
"I'm a game developer."
"Oh? Anything I've heard of?"
First off, I have no idea what your gaming could even potentially look like. But second, this really sounds like "Have you worked on anything important enough for me to treat you differently?"

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

While acknowledging this was a bleak and stressful time for a lot of people:
• Halloween candy slides
• Empty streets given to pedestrians
• Bartering cheese for board games
• Mental Floss trivia
• Custom artist print masks
• Spontaneous celebrations the day after election day

What's a charming memory you have from the worst period of the pandemic?

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

as a woman on the internet, there's no amount of stupid that you can sarcastically pretend to be that will actually read as sarcasm, because there's no limit to how stupid your interlocutor is willing to believe you are. In a sane world this would be funny but this guy WOULD just believe me 😭
