Maybe hook him up with a nice girl, so that they can get married and one day have little Toadlets who can carry on the great works. Should be simple enough, just lock two dwarfs people in the same room, drop in food and booze once a month, and watch them grind their social skills to legendary!
Of course, we don't know his sexuality or possible lack of, whether or not he actually wants any social contact beyond his bro, or whether he wants children or not.
Or, y'know, one could actually
read the article all the way through to the part where the author quotes Toady addressing those very issues :
I asked him whether he wanted children. “I don’t mind the idea of never having kids,” he said. “I want to stay focused on the game, and if I had kids, I’d wind up paying attention to them instead.”
He expressed similar ambivalence about finding a romantic partner. “If I were in the supermarket one day and someone came on really strong and it was a mutual thing, I’d probably get pushed along, but it’s not something I’m anticipating,” he said. His interest has dwindled. “It’s easier not to care about that stuff when you’re in your 30s.”
And there's nothing wrong with his nocturnal sleep pattern, tons of people work the third shift. Nothing harmful about it. Frankly it's better for his work - the graveyard shift generates fewer distractions.
Getting to the point where NOT drinking soda gives you a headache is definitely bad news. That's the cold hard truth.
It's caffeine dependency. It's entirely common and not really harmful to one's health in the least. It's no different than somebody who needs that cup of coffee in the morning to get going. As far as the "one-meal-a-day rule" he follows, there's
support out there for it being a viable eating pattern with distinct
health benefits, especially if you're trying to
lose weight.
I mean, frankly, he's living the spartan lifestyle of the artist who devotes
everything to his work. And it works for him. Who are we to second-guess his method?
