This is not how a conversation goes. The typical response would be not to engage about puzzle games, but to tell you in blisteringly mind-numbing detail how great the shooter they're currently playing is and how they got out of a tight situation and blasted the opposition.

Because that's the conversation they want to have with you, and they won't be dissuaded.

That’s not how my conversations typically go. If they responded like that I would exit the conversation and not enter into conversations with them at a later date.
