Reexamine8875Still cringing about the time a coworker asked for #gaming tips for her daughter, specifically about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I misheard the question "Can you play Breath of the Wild multiple times?" as "Would you want to play with me sometimes?" My response? A confused "y... Yeah, sure why not" after an awkward minute of silence. The look on their face was priceless. That moment is forever etched in my memory.
