Ireland/Éire

So look, I am quickly approaching middle age and I have three sons who love gaming. I have no idea about anything at all to do with gaming. I know that this sounds like something I should be posting on my facebook along with a minions meme or something, but here I am.

I think about 5 years ago, my older son was 5 or 6 , he is autistic, and at the time wasn't talking much. He was really into video games and I tried to keep up, but I hadn't a clue. So I went to my local Game Stop, and I was so mortified, and felt like an absolute auldwan.

I explained and then asked the fellas for a bit of help, and they could not have been sounder. They helped me pick out the best present possible for him (A Nintendo switch)and he was absolutely MADE UP. Anyone who gets autism, and special interests, will know that when I say made up, I mean absolutely overjoyed. I can not stress how successful this gift was, and now every year I make my annual pilgrimage to Gamestop, with a list of random words I have overheard excitedly spoken between my three lads, and they help me find them the best presents.

Last week I was away from home and went into another Gamestop and there was a woman in the same situation as me buying for her nephew, and the staff were equally as sound as my local one.
So anyway, I just wanted to say it somewhere. If you work for GameStop, thanks for being so sound, and non judgemental and helping us non-gamers make our kid's Christmas brilliant.
