    When I was in highschool I had a girl go on and on about how much she loved Star Wars. I was into Star Trek and thought she was trying to annoy me. After graduation I he friends told me she was into me and wanted to hang out.

    I had a different girl ask me to teach her D&D. I invited her and one of my friendliest players over and proceeded to run a simple session. She didn’t seem to want to learn the rules but kept asking me questions and listening to me intently. She basically ignored the other player. I finished that session super confused. Later she asked me to come to her house to see her new bikini top and it all clicked.

    What the hell even if that thing and what game is it supposed to be for? It looks like punched cardboard so I’m guessing it was bought and maybe assembled instead of being scratch-built.

      I 100% believe it could happen.

      You see, I, too, was once an awkward nerdy middle school girl and the go-to move for showing a guy you liked him was to get way into one of his hobbies.

        Agreed. My ex learned how write software for the ti-84 calculator because I was REALLY into it. Girl found her way in. Smart lady, I miss her sometimes.

          I heard this story from a third party, so I can’t prove it’s true, but supposedly the head of IT security at a previous job met his wife when she compromised his home network to get his attention.

      They still added more content and something more interesting than a pessimistic dismissive comment.

      I do not understand this type of shit. Just… get on with your life. Is it so empty that you need to focus on negative things and complain about them?

      Edit: For the clarification needed, @seeyouatthepartyrichter initially said the typical “this 100% happened” thing.

      Then they doubled down and said anyone who believed this type of stuff was a fool expecting ‘reality to match their delusion’. They then insisted they weren’t going to read anything posted and kept shrieking at the top of their lungs like a 5 year old child.

          Well, there’s a couple of flaws with your conclusion.

          The first is that I didn’t say whether or not I believed it. That is irrelevant to the situation which is your own behavior.

          The second point is that being entertained by something does not mean inherently believing it. Someone can enjoy something without thinking it’s pure truth. If you want to argue that fact then I really suggest you never watch a scary movie because you could end up being mistakenly beliving it’s true and them becoming a serial killer!

          Your comment is valid in the sense that it’s allowed to be made. It’s invalid in the sense that it, well, doesn’t make any. It’s a self centered view on the world that acts like you are the be-all and end-all of what gets to be judged. Moreover, you don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept of false entertainment for fun. Seems like a really sad world honestly. Only ever able to watch documentaries. You know. Because reality matches it so you’re not being ‘deluded’.

          Clown.
