So I was working part time and a guy walks in one day who was an avid gamer. Pleasent conversation but then he asked me and my colleagues if we played video games. I said 'actually, I've just got my degree in game tech and design'! Oh dear twitter, oh dear...https://twitter.com/Rhianne_man/status/1236952177966489601 …

He looked like Jesus just walked into the room, no joke. But then physically shook his head before looking me in the eye and said 'But do you know REAL gaming knowledge' I proper panicked. I thought I'd proper put my foot in it and this guy was like a gaming prodigy.

Nervously, I asked what he meant by that. Afraid I was about to get schooled by this guy two years younger about the principles of code and design. Twitter, he did not. He puffed up his chest and proudly asked me: 'What year... Was Fall Out New Vegas released?'

Now don't get me wrong, New Vegas was a great game, but I'm not sure it constitutes as 'real gaming knowledge' To be honest, I don't even know what 'real gaming knowledge' even means. So I humoured him and guessed like 2011

He looks impressed and says 'oh close! It's 2010!' He continued to chat about how much he knows about games to me before I have to continue with other work around the galleries.

Some of you might think it's harmless, and yes the conversation was for the most part - but I felt completely patronised on my workplace - a place where we celebrated the importance of video games.

He never did this to my male colleagues and yet again I had to prove myself to other men about how I knew what a video game was, even after I achieved a BSc with first class honours. Don't be this dude.

Honestly, I would have found it very hard not to snap at someone like that. Few things irritate me more. Sorry, hun <3
