    A lot of people will use this if they hear a reference to something that they haven’t heard about before, but not every time. The whole game is a game of choice, and the story line is meant to keep players on track of who they should be interacting with. It’s about story, not about the characters or about the plot or anything. If you find a reference to a character you haven’t heard of in the game, chances are it’s not because they haven’t been able to play through the story line. They’re just there for you to interact with. Just like “it’s raining cats and dogs” or “it’s raining kittens and cats” or whatever, it’s just part of the game. It’s how it works. I’ve played it a handful of times, and it’s honestly really fun. I really hope you don’t mind sharing it with someone else.

      This is a common sentiment I see in Reddit, and in other corners of the internet. People are really saying things like, “It’s just a game, it’s easy to learn” or “It’s just a hobby, learn it and play it.” This is a perfectly fine statement, but when you use that as a catch phrase it can be used to imply that it is more than about the game itself - that it’s more about a hobby or something that you don’t think is directly related to it. That is, I’d say “It’s just a hobby, learn it and play it” - but then people use it to imply it as a suggestion to others to not give advice on how to keep the conversation going, not to get too overwhelmed by the game’s depth.
