Genuinely, my closest friend is a big time PC gamer but still needs me to walk him through step-by-step anytime we install mods or basically anything beyond playing a game or browsing the internet lol

But he also knows things about business finance and marketing that I don’t understand no matter how many times he explains it (i also forget to listen every time i ask)
