What makes you laugh uncontrollably while gaming?

I need to know more. I've spent time in Fairfax, and this is a total mismatch with what I experienced there. 

Well Stacey, it was the Merrifield section of Fairfax and I was working at a Target store that was probably one of the largest ones in the whole U.S.  It also had some of the biggest d bags in the whole U.S. too.  This was 2015.  I was a 31 year old long haired guy with a vandalized '03 Impala.  I struggled big time at that job, but they kept me on I guess because they liked my attitude.  I liked a lot of people there, but some were just trying to change me.  They would threaten me because I wouldn't change every  aspect about myself.  I was even given a sneak attack haircut and told to get the rest cut off.  As the guy was running away, I said "fuck you."  I feel like I was justified.  I quit that job out of intense fear four days shy of Christmas 2015.  I have Asperger's for what it's worth.  Virginia has calmed down a lot, it's not scary, but it's not the place for an Aspergered out metal head.

My memories of Fairfax were largely of affluent suburbans, many of them defense contractors/ex-military. I always thought of it as a fairly sugar-coated place--toxic in its way, but usually by being kind of repressive? It sounds like your workplace was really messed up!

I'm autistic too, by the way, and also enjoy metal 🙂

Well, you don't want to be a one trick pony, I get that.  But perhaps the gaming industry isn't doing enough to keep us engaged anymore.

Gaming companies are more or less 90% after their own pockets with the game they make. It's up to us to find a way to get satisfied from whatever they made for us.

The game makers giveth and we use as needed.

I'm into pre1990 British metal, but I can branch out to many other things.  And yeah that work place was messed up.

Yeah - That's a fact and it's not like we have any other options to fall to. If you don't like it, you rest because you can't even make one.

Your only other option is to find hobbies besides gaming.

When it comes to shooting video games, it's really funny to me which makes me laugh when and how opponents slumps whenever a headshot take out is done.
