OAK PARK, Mich. — Terrence Glenn, 32, is a bit “high-maintenance” about certain items and traditions, reports girlfriend Whitney Davidson.
“Terry’s sweet, really,” said Davidson. “He just needs things to be up to a certain level to be comfortable. Like when he’s playing Super Smash Bros, he needs a wired GameCube controller for the Switch so the buttons don’t lag and he doesn’t get upset. I got him a wireless controller for Christmas, and wow that was a scene,” continued Davidson.
During a recent movie night at home, Glenn reportedly spent most of his time adjusting the settings of his television and sound bar.
“He was showing me Snake Eyes, which he called ‘underrated,’” said Davidson. “But I couldn’t really see the movie because he kept opening up motion smoothing, and HDR, and audio output menus that took up the whole screen. I fell asleep for a bit, and when I woke up, he was upset I wasn’t watching.”
Alexander Hessler, Glenn’s college roommate, insists Glenn’s habits aren’t anything new.
“He’s just sensitive and gets upset easy,” said Hessler. “Back in college it took forever for him to get ready to go out for the night. We’d all have to wait around for him to get the exact right outfit on.”
“I’m glad Whitney’s helping him speak up for himself about his needs,” continued Hessler. “And I’m glad he got a wired controller because his Ness play was struggling.”
When reached for comment, Glenn asked if the interview could take place over Zoom, spent 14 minutes trying to connect his USB microphone, then hung up the call with tears in his eyes.
