I wouldn’t call him desperate, I would call him time constrained with money to enjoy. He probably won’t actually use it for that, he’ll probably dive into his video game addiction more.
Plus, he says that virtual ladies can’t betray him like the dumb fuck of his ex wife that pretty much ruined his self confidence and self esteem to the point where he doesn’t actually think he could experience the required vulnerability in other people ever again, and it’s been 5 years since the first time she cheated on him.

Dont engage the gestapo. That is the only way they can fight, through confrontation. Bullets, fists, crowd control.
