My significant other made me feel like it was for kids and I just got this overwhelming feeling of guilt any time my SO saw me playing them. My SO just doesn't understand video games because for my SO they are frustrating.
I rebounded in COVID and no longer give a fuck. I like em so imma do what I do.
No offense but your SO seems toxic
Sounds like they are bitter and fragile ego. I have a brother like that where he played and got frustrated. He tried playing a Few games but lost and then called them shit for the rest of his life he refer to people as wasting their life with them.
I think deep down they like them but can’t stand that they lost at something with a bit of challenge so they get bitter at those who do take it on.
Meanwhile I have plenty of relatives who just don’t care about playing games but they don’t have to get all ‘you’re wasting your life’ nor do they have an unhealthy hatred towards games. They just aren’t into them and have a ‘to each their own’ attitude which I think is a healthy approach to it.
So there’s a difference.
