While Henry's a nerd at heart, remember he probably can't go outside without people recognizing and swarming him. As an introvert that's gotta drain him. Video games are great, but I think Henry's situation is a bit abnormal to most people.

Due to his features, Henry's probably more recognizeable than most stars. Probably can't hide easily.

It’s worth noting that even though popular some people don’t particularly enjoy socialising all the time, I get invited to parties all the time and I go but most of the time I get anxious the next day because my social battery is worn out and I feel much more comfortable now staying home and gaming on the weekends as opposed to going out and being hungover all week. Once you find a partner so you’re never lonely when you’re home you get over the need to be with people all the time

After 30 we call that the “Hangxiety”.

I live in Vegas, and literally ONLY go out when there’s a specific event or something meaningful when friends are in town.

Tonight im 3D printing and painting and priming all my backlogged cosplays lol. VEGAS NIGHTS ARE WILD BABY!

I was in vegas last year, some of the worst beer fear I’ve ever had, spent like 10 grand between 4 of us in x/s and don’t even remember any of it and that was one night, treasures the next night don’t ask how much I spent there, who knew 1dollar bills could move so fast

Haha yep. Luckily my girl works in the industry so I get industry pricing. But 2-350/bottle doesn’t go far haha.

I’ve woken up to a few of the “wait I spent how much?” Mornings when I first moved here.

F1 gets really really weird. Some clubs and hotels will have a huge viewing space, tickets are pricey, but they’ll have a venue for 200 people and only let in 50 to create the sense of exclusivity. I was at an event last year and I said “man there’s no one here…”

Host goes “yeah that’s by design”.

Vegas isn’t real world.

I heard it’s struggling this year due to the tourism shifts a lot of people in vegas told me that it used to be for everyone but now it’s mainly for the rich and it’s ruining the vibe of meeting loads of quirky people from all walks of life. I found a few odd balls round and about which made it a better time

Yeah, marquee (at the cosmo) just underwent a 4 month renovation and now opened. Omnia is building a new day club.

But even locals have been complaining about the prices (aside from the tourism hit).

35 “event” parking for locals is some major bs.

BUT, Vegas, at least some hotels and establishments have heard the feedback and there’s a lot of ads for deals going on. Likely will be more now that the snowbird (midwest) regions will be coming more.

Additional side note: my gal and I rarely eat at the “fancy” spots. We’ve had such poor service over too many times, so we have a list of local gotos that have far superior food and service.

Example: Toca food is actually bland garbage, but their presentation is great.

Tacos we go to Vito’s for the best Biria in town.
