    I’ve tried several times but it is extremely difficult to get a straight answer out of her. The conversation is always one-sided. I’ll ask her how I can make her happy and get silence as a response.

    She’s one of those people who doesn’t know what they want (but surely knows what she doesn’t want).

    Communication is key in a healthy relationship

    People always tell me this and honestly I’m tired of trying. She’s not the communication type, so my attempts go nowhere.

    I’ve shown her similar memes in the past (especially ADHD memes) but she never understands them and I’m left frustrated. She still thinks the “odd” things I do are done simply to annoy her. I’m convinced that neurodivergence is just one of those things that you can never understand nor relate to unless you have it.



  • I don’t know how old you are, but I feel like younger people say this more often than older people.

    As someone who saw the transition from 8-bit to 16-bit to 32/64-bit in their childhood, graphics were everything from the 80s until at least the 2000s. Each new generation was leaps and bounds better than the last; I remember the discussions in the playground being centered around nothing but graphics every time a new console was announced. Nobody talked about the games.

    Nowadays we have incremental updates at best, so now people care less and less about graphics like they used to. Not me, though. I’m still a graphics slut and an absolute whore for path traced games. I’ll play a game I don’t enjoy if it has the latest in graphics tech.
