(also don't date guys that seem to play certain games performatively like they saw this post and went out to match it) (a friend dated a guy that brought a modded gameboy to social functions and played it sometimes but he never really talked about gaming and i'm pretty sure the gameboy was more about the aesthetic for him than actually playing games)

I like to play mmos, arpgs, and chess. Should my girlfriend run? (joke)

MMOs? You're a lost cause, sorry.

(Unless she also likes MMOs, then you're meant for each other)

(Also, /s ofc, but remember to take breaks to spend time together)

My friend's brother and brother's wife play WoW together. They have their living room set up so they can play side by side. It's nice they have a fun hobby they do together. (They also engage with real life, but they live far away so I rarely personally see them)

We did this for a while, but now it's hard to find the time and harder to justify the price.

Instead, we find coop games to play on the couch with Steam Decks (unless she's busy playing Silksong).

Nice to be able to play a few rounds of Unrailed before bed

I've always refused to pay a subscription, so I relate to that. I'm a big fan of Guild Wars (1 and 2) for not having one, and not having a power treadmill. It's nice to hop in after a while away and still be competitive.

I did get an old partner to play Path of Exile for a while. We still laugh about how that was kind of an anomaly - they don't normally like that sort of game at all, but somehow we spent like 2 months hammering on it together.

Always looking for good couch co-op. My current person isn't much of a video games person, but Cat Quest II has been good fun so far. The Binding of Isaac was a little too much for them.

Yes, straight into your spindly little arms

Literally any suggestion of a type of guy who isn't a basic bro will be followed by a suggestion that they're performative within days if not hours

What is 2k, other than a game publisher?

Only game installed on laptop: OpenMW.

(Ok ok I have an NES and an OG xbox with select titles and a GBC with a flash cart and every game for the GB/C too.)
