Re: Hate Thread
Minor rant. Just social derp.
Trying to play a game and relax before midnight, since gotta get up in the morning, and a friend talking over voice chat won't stop asking very technical questions about different versions of Windows and PC hardware I no almost nothing about (Older generations and also AMD hardware). Bombarding me with links and wanting opinions on them, etc. Keep trying to remind him that the only reason I know anything I do about this stuff, is that I go and research it on the spot when I need to know it, and that I'm in no way an encyclopaedic expert.
Also trying to gently get across to him that I've pretty much been sitting struggling to answer questions and unable to play my game for half an hour plus now. During a fairly intense and high stakes moment too. Subtle hints turn to numerous obvious hints, but he's just too damn focused on what he's doing to register. More or less forcing me to either stop everything I'm doing to research for him, or outright tell him, "Sod off, I want to play my game, I'm leaving the chat."
It's not that I'm adverse to having a casual chat or helping him out where I can, and he's one of my closer friends. But I didn't boot up Teamspeak to receive a one sided technical interrogation.
Conversation ends with,
"Thanks for your help, I'll leave you to enjoy your game now."
"I just closed it anyway, got to get to bed."
"Oh, ok, catch you latter."
I think he finally picked up on my tone on that very last line, and it created an awkward moment. -_-
