This is the best one. Well I feel like any game I could turn the corner and find a Stargate and it wouldn’t really be that out of place 😂

Honestly feel like this works 😂

Yeah I’m excited about it. Dubious and skeptical, but excited too.

I’ll always remember you Ralph. Though, I can’t even remember what I had for dinner last night. I wonder what I should have for dinner tonight…

Oh shit Demon Slayer x The Ascent. I’m imagining Ghostrunner but you fight 'borged out demons

This is hilarious, I thought it was just me 😂

I’m trying this with Truff sauce the next chance I get

So, Timmy, what games you playing?

From my parents, my wife, and her parents I definitely got a, “Oh you still play games, like you’re a kid. That’s cute.” vibe. But they we’re pretty accepting once they realized it wasn’t some hold over phase from being a teenager and a legitimate hobby with a community that increases technical knowledge, too.

That being said I still feel like a kid in one respect. You know that meme, where you’re playing an online game and your mom comes in and says “Pause it and come to dinner.” I get similar comments from my wife. And she’ll get annoyed sometimes. Like, “I needed you help on something but I guess your game is more important.” But I just sunk 45 mins of effort into a match of CS:GO, my rank is on the line which I’ve spent a lot more time on, it’s actually pretty rude to ask me to drop that because you want the trash out. Not to mention I’m tanking my teammates ranks. Like if my hobby was soccer, you wouldn’t walk out onto the pitch during a game holding everyone up and expect me to have a conversation about repainting the bathroom. But because they can’t see the game, they don’t get it.

So in that respect it can be difficult as an adult. You do have more responsibilities and relationships you need to maintain. So you need to be clear about setting aside time for your hobby. Communicate well with those in your life about it and what you need from them.

A phone without the actual phone part. Just SMS/MMS. Maybe a notification that someone tried to call
