I consistently lose and always fail the vibe checks. I have given up on trying to win and now I sow chaos for fun when people insist on playing them.

It's a fun trick to enjoy the game even if winning is off the table.

Yes, but they are primarily social games with deception elements so it's no surprise that autism makes them hard or impossible. Going for the chaos fun is a valid strategy. It's perfectly acceptable to fuck with everyone else as long as you're not actually hurting people.

I don't have autism, but do fuck with leaderboards in games sometimes. I hate competitive stuff, but winning specifically to trash the fun of people who take that shit seriously is hilarious. Sure, it's mean, but they don't have to be bitchy about losing, so as far as I'm concerned, it's a them problem. Tldr, I don't care if I win so long as they lose.
