LOL, I did this so many times! "If I pretend I'm not here, they'll go away". 9 times outta 10 it was just a sorority asking for donations for something anyway lol.

Oh my god, this is so relatable.

"Hey, please come to the social event nobody cares about!" "Okay! Thanks for letting me know for the fifteenth time!" slams door and keeps playing League

Lol, for my school it was usually, "Hey, we're collecting donations for X philanthropy." Me: "Uhm, I have like 1 clean shirt because I don't even have money for laundry...."

Lol, if someone needed me, we would text. Only time someone would come to my door for an important issues without texting me would be around food time.

Ah, the college life.

To be fair, I go to a tech school so basically everyone is gaming or studying. It's basically the school's job to drag us out by the hair and force us to talk to people.

freeformline1 votes

Same here, but I'm heavy and intimidating, so people were afraid to drag me anywhere. Needless to say, I made about as many friends online as I did in the meatworld.

Oh how I wish I could try out dorm life..

... No I don't .__.

Why? It's fun.

Blue Moon Wolf1 votes

I think the WiFi would make it near impossible to play League with how many people would be on it at the same time. Then there is always the chance of really crappy roommates.

PDE5 Inhibitors3 votes

Most dorms have ethernet hook up.

Yeah, roommates is an issue...but typically just the first year. After the first semester/year you can pick who you want to room with.

Remember to ask her if she will defy the laws of physics again before believing her.

My dad does this whenever I'm home from college. Sometimes I just get a "soon"

Ugh.

Virgin Ray4 votes

He later won the Noble Piece Prize and got assassinated by a concerned mother, the police killed the mom and her kids never had to get out mid game playing any online game. To this day, more and more kids are now able to finish online games in peace. You will be forever remembered Martin Luther King.

Mimy9 votes

That's when I ask if I may finish what I'm doing, usually asking nicely they say yes.

Sometimes mines are like that. Other times he just plugs out my Ethernet cable. Sigh....

But then you have to play on wifi....

People like you are why...

I dislike "bring down the hammer on afks threads"

because sometimes being afk isn't your choice! and i'm paranoid that a harsher system would start banning people who's parents get pissed off.

Sicom8 votes

When you have a job, a child, or simply being as respectful to your spouse as you should your mother, you learn to plan your time accordingly. If you're not sure you're going to have the time to finish a game, then simply do not play. You'll learn to fill that time with things that either take less time or can be paused.

My wife does not need to ask me to pause my game, not usually. If she's home, I make it clear, "hey, I'm going to be playing this game for the next allotted amount of time." and she's respectful of that because I'm respectful in return by being coincious of other rituals (I.e. dinner) or responsibilities (including taking care of her and our daughters' needs).

You do realize that there are times when you do have time and intend on using it to play a game, your parents/whatever start demanding your presence for an "emergency" that you need to be there right fucking now for and it is literally something stupid or doesn't require your attention at this moment, if at all.

Of course there's my favorite:

Let the dog out.

I can't, i am in the middle of a match>

So, pause it and let them out.

I can't, it is a multiplayer online game.

Do it anyways.

Keep in mind that they are literally sitting next to the door the dogs go out and it is my sisters fucking bitch that wants out, but my sister is to lazy to stand up and walk 2 steps to do it.

I totally lucked out with my parents, they understand how online games work, and have taken to telling me whatever it is that needs to happen an hour before hand.

HolyxGod5 votes

I played a game in the middle of the class once at the university, all 20 sumthin kids were giving me the dirty look and then one dude shouted loudly "DUDE STOP CLICKING" and then the prof looked at me and i had a poker face on xD, embarrassing yet funny moments.

Tribbles Foxfolk3 votes

YES! HOLY SHIT YES! I am SO sick of this when it's around a meal-time!

"PAUSE YOUR GAME AND COME EAT!" "No, I can't!" "YES YOU CAN, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!" "It's an online game!" "So what? Get your ass out here!"

  • Every mealtime that I have a game running EVER. I get so sick of it.
Maestro8019 votes

Here's a novel thought... don't start a game close to meal time.

Battalion8 votes

Or ask when will dinner be ready OR realize that it's just a game, buy a item 3512 and item 3060 then eat food.

Yes please. So many people like to blame it on parents when it's easily avoidable.

My mom understands that League is a game that can't be paused. And THAT'S why she hates it, really.

My Nyas2 votes

Me: "Hey mom! I'm going to start a game. Don't get on any videos, okay?" 15 minutes later Me: "Mom? My ping is spiking really badly. What's up?" Mom: "I'm watching So You Think You Can Dance!" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Me: "Uh... Can you wait until later? Like, get on facebook or something... Just no videos." Mom: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Then again if you have parents like mine you'll get beat just for trying to play league... so you have to hide under ur bed at night after stealing the laptop really late at night and if they find you... well its another fucking beating

End then ofc u get a prio que which is probably worse cuz then you have to wait another 20 mins to play a game which means u need like 60 - 80 mins man so annoying

ayNigerianPrince2 votes

LOL

I'm sorry that just came off sounding funny as hell. I can sort of relate though. My dad fucking hates video games of any kind so I have to wait until he's not around.

Back when I was in college several of us played league. But some of the girls would complain that we were to loud when we played after supper. Never stopped them from coming home at 2 in the morning and destroying the place, lol.
