So!

You might have some neurodivergence. I was diagnosed with ADHD (Inattentive-Moderate) and I recognise this situation.

You are happy and fulfilled by ‘parallel play’ where you are with someone but you are each doing your own thing.

It sounds like your partner is asking for dedicated quality time. With active interaction.

So here’s what you do: Buy LEGO.
Nothing major (at first). The Botanical sets are lovely. Then you pick an evening, put on some background music and sit across from each other building your own set and talking about stupid garbage.
Once you’re done, order some food in and cuddle on the couch with a comfy movie. (WALL-E, Spirited Away, Hot Fuzz. Something like that).

Maybe, if you’re a giga-chad, you sneak some fancy dessert into the house earlier in the day.

What’s the saying?

Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen and football is a gentlemen’s game played by thugs?

You’re not wrong, but F4 felt particularly unearned.

Maybe I was spoiled by things like The Witcher.

Maybe it’s because 3 was the first one I played, but 4 seemed much more shallow.

Worse mini games and you show up on an organisations doorstep and 10 mins later you’re running the place.

Given the downward trend from 3 -> 4 (and from 2 -> 3 from what I hear) this is a game that will really need to impress before I consider picking it up.

Quoting your own message, “This guy makes a good point!”
