They spoke about the games they liked playing on mobile phones and Miki didn't see anything potentially wrong with Kou playing a dating sim. She figured he liked the story or the characters and there was nothing wrong with that considering why she watched most series. There was also her guilty pleasures series, so she couldn't really argue any point about someone else's tastes. As they moved past this, Miki was confronted with a different kind of question, she thought about it for a moment and there were two instances she'd consider equally bad for different reasons. "Hm... the worst, there are two. One is bad for general reasons and one is a different kind of bad, both of them made me give up on a game," she said. "My solo worst experience was in this Bleach game. It was Dynasty Warriors style hack-n-slash so nothing too crazy. But you get to play with your favorite characters. I put in hundreds of hours on this game, like it was the best thing ever to me. I played it way too much. And right before I got the platinum trophy unlock, on my last mission... my game crashed. No big deal right? Reloaded the game... my save data was corrupted. I literally had to start over from nothing... I just didn't have it in me to take a game like that from the beginning again. So, much time lost and so much wasted effort... it killed my buzz for that type of game for a long while," Miki admitted. That one was not terribly harsh but it was a big blow to her early gaming career. Even as a causal losing that much data wasn't worth it to her.
"My worst coop experience was when I was playing GTA Online. I know... not the kind of game you play with other people. It encourages trolling and all kinds of other dumb stuff. But it was one of my early multiplayer experiences and it is the reason I learned some important things. Anyways, I set myself up, joined a 'nice' group and just played for fun with those people. We had this weird thing were if you messaged someone, they'd get a group together and lock out a whole bunch of random trolls so you could do your major sales and stuff without so much risk. Well... I did one of these, I was saving up for something stupid, like I dunno a Yacht. Anyways, I ran some missions with a small group of people, I didn't know everyone but it was cool... so I stop doing missions for a while to run a couple of things solo, for my 'business'. Let everyone know in chat so they can get some XP if they want to join up with me for a bit. Only a couple of people do... whatever. Eventually, one of the people I was playing with before comes back and feels like I dunno, I abandoned him or something... even though he didn't say he wanted in on my little business venture in chat. So... while I was doing something in a small mission. He blew up my car. Then my drugs, then just followed me around the map killing me. I went into passive mode, done with the whole thing, and changed lobbies. He showed up in that one... found me on the map and just kept killing me every time I spawned. Sending me annoying messages, telling everyone in the group I'd started it and it was pay back. The game got really toxic. I just wanted an imaginary Gang-Star life~ Jo-jo style. And the game became so shit for me I gave up on it completely. Unfriended everyone from that game, uninstalled it, and made it impossible to message me through my system network, because I was done. And I played solo games for a while after that..." Miki explained her two worst experiences as a person playing games so far in her life and shrugged it off. "What about you? What's your worst gaming experience?" she followed up. She didn't seem bothered about her story, but knew it was probably a bit heavy for general conversation. At the same time she couldn't really lie about it either.
