Statistically speaking, it was bound to work eventually.
Step 1: Be attractive.
Step 1A: find a shared interest, which helps make you fulfill Step 1 goals.
Yep. Too many people think attractive only means good looking. I may not be good looking, but I’m not real smart either. I forget where I was going with this.
Well if she doesn’t find you handsome. She should at least find you handy.
Remember, I’m pulling for you. We’re all in this together.
Why … is she talking … like that … though … ?
Because it truly is baffling to her that two individuals can share interests beyond ‘hey, wan sum fuck?’ .
Yep.
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?
Replace the ellipses with em dashes and maybe it’ll make more sense to you
I think it’s meant to be interpreted as “catching your breath when talking while laughing” pauses?
I thought it was to express incredulity like she is shocked this is possible
it’s a cue that the post is intended to be read in william shatner’s voice

Cake. Not even once
I too have an enlarved sharter.
i don’t understand the appeal of stuff like roblox.
i played second life back in 2003 and it was boring as shit to me then. robox just seems like the kid-focused version of that in 2025. and yet three of my nephews are addicted to it.
From what I understand, it’s more like a Garry’s Mod type game. Just a sandbox that let’s you build fun and/or dumb stuff to do with your friends. I’ve never played but I understood the appeal after it was explained to me that way.
i don’t like doing dumb stuff because it’s dumb and a huge waste of time.
sounds like it’s the reality tv of video games.
I think the idea is that if you can make a functional game within a game, that leaves a lot of room for experimentation that otherwise wouldn’t get done, like has been done in the past with modding tools. Some of the games within Roblox seem pretty innovative, it’s just a shame that the way they do business is so focused on microtransactions and psychological manipulation/exploitation of children.
I don’t consider having fun a waste of time, just like I don’t consider yummy cuisine a waste of food. Half of the reason to be alive is to enjoy it, and the other half is to endure it.
You sound like a vulcan. Sorry not all of us can be as efficient and practical all the time I guess? Quit yucking other people’s yum
Doesn’t it have loads of games within it? When my son plays he might be shooting, or driving, or doing some kind of obstacle course.
Sounds like Yakuza games.
It is a game where you can create your own games.
Playing minigames is nice, but using it as your own game engine is great.
Up to a certain extent, until it just becomes a storefront that takes 70%+ of your money instead of 30% (steam, app stores) 10% (epic) or 0% (self-published, etc)
To me it’s like fishing or cards. Technically there’s an activity, but what you’re really doing is shooting the shit in a casual social setting.

Fuck this timeline.
Why tho? This is cute. Maybe she had some clothing or accessories on that gave it away. If not then its just a crazy lucky guess. Either way its wholesome.

Clutch not your pearls too tightly, lest you shatter them
Or chins
If you know anything about roblox culture you wouldn’t think this is cute.
Is this something new? Because I played Roblox kind of obsessively a while back, and I have no idea what you’re talking about. I talked to a little girl about Beanie Boos. Lots of kids inventing ways to bypass the swear filters.
People Make Games has a 2 video series talking about the problems specifically for developers.
- “Investigation: how Roblox is exploiting young game developers” (23m) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ
- “Roblox pressured us to delete our video. So we dug deeper.” (35m) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTMF6xEiAaY
They have a pedophile problem that the company refuses to address, and they also exploit children. Which I read they wanted to double down on that. I also played it with my kids. Even built my own game. But after what I learned I stop playing and also stop giving them money.
Are… Are you also a little girl and or kid?
Nah, I just like kids and sometimes become curious what this hot new thing is they’re into.
Ah yes because there have been pedophiles playing a game, the whole game is unplayable now? I never even played roblox, but by that logic minecraft would be just as bad.

Good ol’ social media logic.
Can’t play classic games, either: some skeevy shit must have gone down at some point in history with everyone one of those. Same with the English language: did you know every English-speaking serial killer & child molester spoke English‽ Same with being human: all horrible people were human, so humans are monsters. Humanity is overrated anyway: better to burn them all.
The rewards of genetic fallacy.
Part of me agrees with you, but also there’s definitely more the company could be doing in terms of moderation. The entire internet has been suffering from the removal of human mods in the last two decades or better. Maybe there should be regulations regarding how many human mods you have to employ based on site traffic if children are allowed on your services.
Why? Because people enjoy games that you don’t?
