    I think she might be misunderstanding the problem. The problem is if he asks if she knows about it and asks if she’d like to talk out hear about it. And TBH if you’re not (both) able to half-listen to the other ramble, and not cool with the other doing that, you’ve got some skills to master before you’re ready to commit to a long term relationship. Because I guarantee you, there will always be stuff each of you likes that the other does not. Listening without going crazy is a skill. Just make sure you listen enough to know if they’re ranting like a maniac, or you might wake up one day married to a Trump supporter or something.

    I thought I was safe because none of the boys I dated even knew what 40k was, then I dated a girl and SHE taught me about 40k. You’re NEVER safe.

    I’ve never kissed a boy but at this point I might need someone to get me started on Warhammer, it’s scary how big it’s gotten & how I don’t have any time for even much simpler things.

      I give it two weeks before you’re randomly musing about your desire to die along side Sanguinius in defence of the Eternity Gate.

      I remember when they were doing Lord of the rings Warhammer. That was like 20 years ago. I bought a set, it’s still on my shelf unpainted

            True, but I guess I miss the days when you walked into GW and saw the big 3: WHFB, 40K, and LotR. I mean of course there was Blood Bowl, Killteam, etc on the sidelines, but now it’s sad to see LotR on the sidelines too :/

        Yes, this sounds reasonable.
        I can understand this.

        I couldn’t relate, couldn’t even understand, not even imagine if you said you read all 500 books, went on two cons each year, and made costumes. Totally unbelievable if you would have made friends & found time for them.

        All great things, but I assume some superhuman capabilities are necessary (or, just more life options in regards to financial-time situation).

    “Hey babe, come over, we can watch a scary movie for Halloween.”

    “What movie?”

    “Event Horizon.”

    “Oh, I’ve never seen it, what’s it about?”

      I’ve been waiting for my kids to be old enough to watch this movie. Once they’re all like 16, I’m just gonna hit them with a casual “hey, let’s watch this old sci-fi movie” and give them no other details. Mwahahaha

        I’ve done something similar…
        “What are you watching?”
        “An old animated movie from my childhood. Just started, want to watch?”
        “Sure, what’s it called?”
        “The Secret of NIMH”

        I still can’t get them to watch The Last Unicorn.

          I don’t know if it was intentional or not but I do know SOMEONE involved with the script has a favorite Space Marine chapter.

          What was that story, there’s a creepypasta about the moon or deep oceans or something that was basically “We explored somewhere new, only two crew came back, they refused to say anything besides “don’t go back.” They were found dead the next day by their own hands”

    Only reason my GF knows anything about 40k because of me is because I used the Mechanicum not knowing the actual technicals of how anything works to set up a joke about me being a software magos because all I do is write endless canticles of the endl semicolon

      I ensnared my partner by describing the mechanicus as “Evangelical Transhumanists” and then giving her the Flesh and Steel audiobook (which is just a genuinely great piece of scifi all on its own WHEN DO WE GET THE SEQUEL GW PLEASE). Now she’s color-coordinating the paint job on her Trayzen and Orikan minis and drunkenly holding court on how the Drukhari are the ‘only moral faction’.

      help me what have I done

        If she’s defending the morals of the Drukhari I’d start worrying about how much time she spends on certain parts of the internet if I were you.

        Specifically the parts of the internet that involve giving her ideas for very not safe for family television things she plans to do to you.

          I’m just worried because it’s a bad take. I’m pretty sure they take great pride in being immoral.

            I could see them being defended as the most moral faction.
