FoxySage: What word are you using for the AFK acronym?
Because in my mind, Away from Keyboard, makes no sense in the context of that sentence.
BranjoHello: Well, I don't know how your mind works but I tend to use AFK for situations where some people would use RL (Real Life). The reason I don't use RL acronym is because I'm the same guy in "digital" and in "real" world, I'm satisfied with who I am and don't have the need to pretend I'm someone else, so for me AFK is something related to what I do/encounter when I'm not looking into my monitor. Because in my mind, Away from Keyboard, makes no sense in the context of that sentence.
Most of my AFK friends don't play video games, or play them rarely, so that's actually the biggest difference between friends list on my mobile phone and friend list on my Steam/GOG account. :)
