My coworker has appointed himself my unsolicited Baldur's Gate 3 coach.
By @avaok2 · Gaming
Every morning, he comes over to my desk to ask for a 'daily progress report' on my single-player campaign. Then he tells me exactly what I did wrong the night before.
The full story
It started as typical gamer chat, but now it's a full-on debrief. He'll critique my build, question my dialogue choices, and audibly sigh when I admit I haven't optimized my inventory. It's a single-player game. The point is to explore and make my own mistakes. It’s starting to feel like a second performance review and I'm tempted to just start lying about my progress so he’ll leave me alone.

What people are saying
@mehkay — Why not just tell him you want to play it your own way?
@quinnlol — This reminds me of my buddy who tried to coach me on my fantasy baseball team after he got knocked out of the playoffs. I just started sending him fake trade offers.
@sashawelp — Soft.
@midconversation — He's just projecting because he's probably insecure about his own playthrough.
@vincekindof — I feel like he’s just trying to find a way to connect with you and you're seeing it as a personal attack.
