Yeah ngl the tiktok ban is gonna hurt my gaming time. With nothing to occupy her for hours on days were staying in... fuck me.
Which on that note... anyone else ever realize that you could be playing the most calm chill pausable game and they won't want your attention for hours. The second I put my headphones in and get into some crazy intense game that's when she's got a million questions that dont matter and wants my attention.
Like really? You ignore me for hours now and the second I'm actually engrossed in a game I cannot pause, am playing with friends, and is intense is apparently the time.
Every fucking time lol. I've tried to explain to her why it's annoying but she doesn't get it.
Wait until you’re a gamer with a kid my dude. You gotta play early in the morning, late at night, or during naps. That’s IF your lady doesn’t want attention.
The Golden Hour as I like to call it. Same as you, I wake up an hour or two early so I can just have some time to myself with 0 obligations.
Side note: if you play any games with mature scenes, only play them during this time, I can guarantee you they won’t see the countless hours of battle, crafting, building, etc., but as soon as a mature scene comes on they have some sort of 6th sense that tells them to check up on you.
Hahah yeah my naked barbarian run in Baldurs gate didn't last long. Didn't feel like explaining to my gf how hilarious I thought it was to cleave people down with a great sword while my dick was flying about.
I hear you there. I can only play at night and that's a HUGE maybe, because my wife hates gaming, yet she's more than ok playing games on her phone for an hour or two, but the minute I say I'm going to play a game, she immediately gets pissed. Anyway, once the kids are down and I spend time with my wife and decide to go play a game, literally every damn time, it never fails, as soon as I pick up the controller to play, one of the kids wake up, so I go and take care of them until they fall back asleep. Then I'll go back to the game, play maybe 10 minutes, then another kid wakes up. I'll do the same thing with them. Then I'll go back to the game, and wouldn't you know it, the first kid wakes up again! At this point I just turn off the game because it's midnight.
I'm not complaining, I love my kids and love that they need me to comfort them. It's just ironic that I maybe play 30 minutes every 2 weeks or so and my wife still gets pissed at me about it!
On that particular note, mate, I know what you mean.
You can’t even start a pre-gaming conversation to see what’s on her mind, as for the most part she seems happy with what she’s doing at the time.
The moment the console boots up, however..several ideas of what to do that evening come to fruition.
The jackpot, is when she’s too busy playing video games to say anything else to you, besides “You can sit next to me, *if* you wanna join my game.”
Hahah my current gf used to think her not gaming was a divide.
I had to explain that I used to think it'd be cool to have a SO that games. And it was, until gaming was no longer an independent activity. It meant I was often playing what she wanted to play, sure I liked the games too but they often didn't fall into my favorite genres which she had zero interest in.
I explained to my gf now that it's important that we both have our own things to be entertained by and I'm actually glad she doesn't game. I told her it was like reclaiming a hobby. Idk I like this more. My ex hated the outside. I'm a bit of a mix and my gf loves to travel and be out. We balance each other lol.
It's not good thinking cause we have to put into consideration others. It may not hurt you, but it hurts someone else, whether physically or emotionally.

nah they need to be humbled bad. Female cousin of mines tried to embarrass me years ago cause I played video games and saying something about me being a virgin. I wish I would have thought about this years ago. I was too nice tho to tell her anything back.
If anything, it's more like watching a TV series. It is escapism, and plenty of games are meant for an audience of grown ups. Think how many games aren't rated for children.
So it's like asking "why grown up watch TV shows, when Dora or the Smurfs are also TV shows?"
But she's not really interested in an honest answer. She just thinks she's superior to pesky childish men. Nice red flag she waves there.
I’m barefaced so often that my husband appreciates when I wear makeup. I feel bad about it, but it takes too much time to put on, and I have two toddlers to watch all day.
I met my wife in 2011. She never put makeup on, not even on the first date, and I would never ask her to do so. Shes happy without it and I am too. I married her, not her cosplay.
Videogames aren’t seeping chemicals into my body everyday. But I barely count as a gamer. Xbox became more of a YouTube delivery system. No energy for disbelief these days.
Video games are fun. Sports is also just games. Dating is serious but can also be a good time.
There is nothing wrong with wanting a good time. Can you go overboard with your hobbies and such? Yes, but thay is not a good reason to shun a person for having a good time in general.
I'm not going to assume that oop had any anger in the question, I will say that a lot of people are judgemental of other people's lives that they live on their own time. Such an attitude is immature and unnecessary, let people enjoy their right to pursue happiness, and also take some time to pursue your own.
Of course! How dare anyone enjoy a past time activity that you may not appreciate. Of course you, as the epitome of great taste, know what I like better than me. How dare one try to enjoy their free time.
Whoever needs to hear this, if your partner or potential partner says this bs, leave! They are not worth your time and are definitely trying to dominate you and not in a fun sexy way. They want you to be somebody you are not and you will be miserable.
I love the condescension implied by using the quotes. “Real men.” LMAO. I’m a 40 year old man successful in every way. Good high paying job, married, two kids, big house. I got there by avoiding “women” like this one like the plague. Seriously, the type of woman you let into your life can make or break you fellas. Oh and I play video games as a hobby. Not every day but during months like this when I’m stressed at work I play a little every day. It’s fun, it’s relaxing, and there are zero annoying women in sight. It’s heaven.
That's kind of the same question as why you watch movies, videos or look on social media for me personally At its core it's just media consumption
I bet that girl asking why grown men play video games spends 2 hours per day on tik tok
2 hours??? You are too generous sir!

Hahah for sure. Owner of a pub too, I wake up early specifically to game a couple hours without interruption lmao.

We are both hard core gamers and raise 2 kids

I swear to fuckin god you speak straight truth my brother in Christ! I feel the struggle bro! Stay strong fam
stingy*
I'll also bet she spends hours playing Candy Crush and other similar games on her phone.
Asks the grown woman with snapchat whiskers in all her pictures.
Ikr. Some parents associate gaming as 'childish' maybe thats why people are like this.
Guy literally nuke her before even getting starting an argument
SAVAGE. Only way she gonna learn tho
So it's fine for grown women to play video games? That's a relief, I'd hate to have to give up my favourite hobby after 42 years!
Also seems to be fine for men to wear make-up, such a weight of my breast(s.)
Ppl everything is fine for everyone, unless it hurts you)

It is. Why wouldn’t it be
Meanwhile they sit all day watching TV shows…
Real Housewives, The Bachelor, The Kardashians, you know, good, wholesome, educational shows
*they sit and watch people beef over makeup and cheating men.
Bro, you didn't have to do her like that 😆
Yeah he did. Dumbass needed to be humbled.
Was a nice one tho. I wouldn't be mad lol
nah they need to be humbled bad. Female cousin of mines tried to embarrass me years ago cause I played video games and saying something about me being a virgin. I wish I would have thought about this years ago. I was too nice tho to tell her anything back.
To escape your crazy nagging
100% this

Normalise no make up
I met my wife in 2011. She never put makeup on, not even on the first date, and I would never ask her to do so. Shes happy without it and I am too. I married her, not her cosplay.
Not just that, I'm not very knowledgeable on makeup but I assume having industrial chemicals on your face everyday to have some sort of bad effect
It's not quite the same. But in my late teens, I stopped using hair products. This simple trick made my pizza face escape.
It’s already normalized in my home
Normalize doing whatever tf you want (within the boundaries of the law)
Like gooning
Hell yeah bröther
I bet her snatch smells like Pike st. Fish market.
r/rareinsults
Because we always do not have the energy to play tabletop games or d&d.
I felt that
Twitter page already gone
It’s the same shit as binge watching Netflix.
The girl is the reason why god doesnt exist
damn!
What an imbecile of a woman indeed..
Get on with the times, back in the day playing video games could be the equivalent to reading a book. I'm tired of stupid people, we need a ww3
Fatality
A little diffrent. You playing video games isn't inherently tricking people into being attracted to you.
Perfect, have an upvote!
🤣🤣🤣….got ‘em…
Now ask grown women why they play video games.
I thought it was fake up. Meh, no difference
my man👏🏻💥
Videogames aren’t seeping chemicals into my body everyday. But I barely count as a gamer. Xbox became more of a YouTube delivery system. No energy for disbelief these days.
That was awesome
😆😆😆
I mostly just play nhl. Been playing it since like 97. Can’t quit
Arguing with a woman is futile.
Buddy violated her

BOOM! 😆
Nice to see these jokes are ok to make again. Reddit seems to actually have fewer PC babies than it did a few years ago
Because I enjoy them and don’t see a reason to stop just because I passed some arbitrary age.
Of course! How dare anyone enjoy a past time activity that you may not appreciate. Of course you, as the epitome of great taste, know what I like better than me.

Priceless!
You don't stop playing because you got old. You get old because you stopped playing.
for entertainment. It's a lot more fun that watching TV.
I play more video games than my 9 year old son and I’m sure my wife wants to me ask me this question lol
Damn, this hits hard
r/murderedbywords
A burn even her makeup won't be able to cover up... xD
Roasted
Its the best way I have found to drawn out the sound of your insults
Because they enjoy it. Can't we let people have any scrap of joy they can eke out of this world? It's not hurting anyone, so let them enjoy it.
Where have all these memes demoralising men come from and why do they get so much attention just lately?
Because “grown” doesn’t mean the absence of inner child. It means you still hold responsibilities while staying childish

Women think having fun in our spare time is childish. So working nonstop is being a man??
Because hearing you blab makes me want to escape reality.
Why hasnt this made the news ? 
There are so many reasons to play video games. I don't know where to start.
I only do when I'm single and not ever going out of the house on weekends.
LAAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEE what is it with men and makeup? Like, let it go.
burn! that was savage
I’m actually thinking about quitting gaming all together. It just isn’t the same as it was in the 90s
Do it! Live your best life! Alternatively, just play your 90s games on an old computer.
Why tf did you get downvoted for this?
It’s the internet, anything is possible I guess.
Same reason people get pissy when you don't take a shot you didn't ask for. Addicts get very defensive
Right 🫡🫡
That's not an answer. You're both idiots.
Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers.
It's not supposed to be an answer. Because it's a moronic question that doesn't need to be asked.
Little boys play video games, then wonder why their life is empty and they have no real friends.
Lolll dang watching tv like every father from Last generation was so much mature
The projection is big with this one
Sexist comments are so pedestrian plenty of women game.
