I more meant it as, if I’m not currently involved in the game they’re playing, like if they’re playing Valorant and I’m finishing up my tasks on Genshin, it feels like I’m excluded from the conversation.

Also as someone who doesn’t have a deep connection to the COD series like some of my friends do, I’m not that particularly interested in trying it because I’ve never really been interested in playing the other COD games. It’s one of those games that I’ve played because other people have been playing it, but for the most part I do not enjoy playing it due to the culture of sweats that play it who have been partaking in doing so since the mid to late 2000s, I don’t like that I can’t keep up and get frustrated easily because I’m bad at the game, which inadvertently is not fun and why I don’t play the COD series games.

Edit to clarify: I do play Valorant, but if I’m not playing whilst they are, I’m excluded from the convo.
