I've been annoyed since multi-player became a paid service since the ps3, but it's nice to finally have some validation. Only took 20 years but...

E: and we can't forget the rootkit fiasco either

They enshittified long before the PS5 came out. I think it's been about two decades since the music CD rootkit scandal, for instance.

Bit late to the party. They got caught infecting their customers' machines with rootkits back in 2005.

That's a frown that says: "Fucking console peasant, go cry about getting no physical media".

Feathers so soft...

I can see how it would be very annoying to genuienly be trying to sleep, and someone is playing video games in the very same room.

Maybe move the console to the living room, use a headset?

If he's got too much energy to sleep, and she wants sleep now... this seems mutually agreeable?

Maybe I'm an odd duck, but what's always made sense to me, as a very light sleeper, is that a couple would each have their own beds, where they could sleep in the same bed when feeling more cuddly, or seperately when truly exhausted.

Sleep is for the weak. Now be my medic and cover me.

Protip: you can set that beep as your phone's notification sound.

What's the fun in that?

Can you turn off the stupid BEEP BEEP BEEP so that it doesn't yell at you for unplugging it when the actual problem is that it just wasn't in the mood to run anymore?

yeah but then he cant whine about like people requiring sleep at night like it is some sort of insult and pretend hes a victim to her rudeness for not slogging his dong.

we cant be having respect and consideration in these adult relationships!

Can you turn that off on a PS4? I know you can on a PS5

that beep is a horrible sound too, sounds like a microwave. like they couldnt program something better than a basic beep?

There are some pretty serious boomers on this site lol, just fewer than elsewhere.

You don't have to share every hobby. You just need to not shame each other for enjoying different things.

Sometimes you just don't discover everything out about that person even years after being with them. This is especially true when you meet at younger ages. Also everyone changes the older you get. The person you marry can absolutely change over a decade as everything becomes a never ending routine and you each find things you can no longer tolerate as much as you used to when you dated and tried harder (for some reason) to be like the other person. Knowing this now I wish it was mandatory for everyone to wait 5 years before getting engaged and 2 of those years has to be living together. Even then you never know who they will be 10 years from now. The worst part about getting older is wishing you knew all of what you know now but 20-30 years ago so you could have actually applied it when it mattered.

I used to love playing video games and now it feels like a Soul sucking waste of life to play anything. So sometimes people change.

how do we know the person who posted is not just being extra about reasonable boundaries?

This is the way, I game with my wife nearly everyday.

Sometimes when we come back from an obligation (visit parents, friends, shopping etc) we stay up later than we should and get a couple rounds of ARAM or whatever crafter builder we’re playing before we sleep because the day feels wasted if we didn’t get a bit of playtime together.

I’ve dated people who weren’t gamers and it is so pointlessly painful to regret doing one of the things that brings you the most joy in life.

My SO and I don't share interests that much, but we share values and are similar/compatible in so much regards. When we start talking it is hard to stop. We have been living together for 20 years.

I don't think having shared interests is as necessary as you seem to suggest.

Society told us straight guys that you have to get married and they told straight women they need a husband to have kids so the business transactions happened.
