I'm personally enjoying it despite everything, though right now I cannot play. It's quite possibly the worst day of my life.
It all started at work. My shift was not going too well. We had way more angry customers than usual. To add to that, we were overloaded and my manager told me to stay a few extra hours, to which I answered "Much obliged mister Goldstein." without thinking too much. I would have preferred to go home but I didn't want to disappoint him.
Anyway, the shift finally ended and I drove back home listening to the jam of Green Day trying to decompress. My wife wasn't home yet but her boyfriend was there, playing Diablo II: Resurrected on the PC. Nothing had changed: he was just ganking people on hardcore and spewing hate as usual. I sighed and took refuge in my room, launched Diablo IV and hopped on my level 29 druid.
Not even 5 minutes had passed that Donnie, the wife's boyfriend, entered my room. He told me that I'd need to leave the house because he wanted to be alone with my wife for the evening. I nodded. He then asked why I was still playing this "gay ass game", referring to Diablo IV, instead of his "superior Chad game". I opened up and let him know that I was uncomfortable with his homophobia. It's 2023. He bursted out laughing, called me a manbun f**** and told me to get the f*ck out of the house. Anxiety through the roof, I grabbed my phone, my wallet and my keys and rushed outside.
I'm still literally shaking. I feel physically ill to my stomach. I'm currently writing this from my phone at Starbucks. Not even my soy latte can soothe me. Nothing works. I vented on Reddit but no one bothered to upvote me or engage except some user named "BuildWallsNotBridges88" who simply called me a "snowflake cuck".
Sorry for venting here but I had to get this off my chest.
I have never laughed so hard,damn
