He's a self described man-child. Possibly the only person who would willingly describe themselves that way. Except the adult baby guys I guess.

And god drat, he sure lost every roll of the genetic dice.

My girlfriend and I call that way of speaking "performance voice", and we hear it mostly from autists (no joke). It's the voice of someone who knows (or thinks) they're on stage and knows that you are supposed to do something interesting, and have never taken a second to review what that might be. Their effort is good enough. For some unknown reason all performance voice sounds exactly the same, whether coming from young or old, man or woman.

It's like attention-seeking easy mode.

I guess I'll follow that up with some related AUG.

My DnD group basically disbanded because of a guy with insufferable performing voice. Our DM worked in a psych clinic and one of his non-violent patients had a pretty bad case of Asbergers. Our DM saw that he loved tabletop games and thought to socialize him a bit by inviting him to our very casual group. This kid was the living embodiment of powergaming, and of course said everything in-character as though he was delivering the world's most tone deaf Royal Decree. We could live with that for the most part, but then it got really awkward. Turns out the kid is gay and has fallen madly in love with the DM. He chose to express this by being unrelentingly mean to the DM's wife, who played in the group. Just non-loving-stop. He also considered us his only friends, so my softy DM didn't have the heart to kick him out.

We all slowly stopped playing, while the kid managed to round up a group of autists just as bad as him, keeping our DM. Now the poor guy runs campaigns for a bunch of assholes, and every time he has to leave a fun gathering to do so he dies a little more inside.

This is basically the same trajectory that every group I've ever played with has taken. Except for the small part where someone was actually being treated for their mental illness.

I linked sword guy to my friend saying he talked exactly the same way as his "roommate" (who I'm pretty sure is a legit autist, he's always rocking back and forth in addition to his social problems) and his response was eerily on topic.
