I worked with a guy who was really cheap. One day we talked in a group about video games, and he only mentioned that ge doesn’t play video games. Some time later, he talked about a mobile game he was playing, pretty sure it was clash of clans. I saud i don’t know anything about the game, otger than people pay a lot of money on it. He talked about it and was pretty enthusiastic. He wasn’t a nice person to talk to at all, so this was probably the longest conversion we ever had. He talked about his spending habits and said somethimg like: “i wanted the negro army early, so he spend more money than usual.” I asked what’s more than usual? He said like 800 bucks. Kept asking: juat this month? He kinda realised how shocked i was and said: if you think that’s a lot, you have no idea how much my girlfriend spends on candy crush every month.
The mobile game industry makes billions evry year per brainrot game from suckers, it’s insane.
I had the same issue unitl i dated a woman in 2018 who worked with disabled elderly people. She was the only person who understood me. We’re still very good friends, but i still assumed i’d die alone. Last year i met my now girlfriend and on our first date she told me: i love how autistic you are. I can’t explain how happy she makes me, and in my 41 years, i never really expected this to happen.
She also works with disabled kids, so there’s that.
