He asked some questions and I went out to talk with them as they were getting ready to go out. He said I could be learning other things with more value than I was playing the game. Like I was wasting my time. Which I am. I told him that I was a little addicted and that It was a good distraction because I am broke and it's free fun. He told me I was being irrational for using a financial excuse. Huh? And then I told him that learning piano or languages (his examples of a better endeavor) would cost me money, but that this didn't. He obviously thinks I am a fool. Lovely. Just what I need during my friday night unwinding.
That's just plain rude.
In Oz or anywhere else.
That would be totally unacceptable here as well, in any remotely civilised group.
I suspect his friends are like him.....awful boundaries and social finesse.
He probably HAS been saying you guys are unfriendly dorks, though.
Such is life in a poorly functioning household.
