    The amount of people taking this meme seriously is mind boggling. Literal Reddit behavior.

    Oh no you didn’t phrase your meme in the exact format my therapist told me to communicate, you are the asshole and deserve to be divorced.

      lemmy users only like memes that make them feel superior to other people.

      this one fails on that account, so it must be shamed.

      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

        Same!

        And yeah, getting 2 free games for compromising all user data, months before they launch PSN plus with rotating free games… Felt odd…

            No, users were offered 2 (I think?) free games as compensation for the PS3 data breach.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_PlayStation_Network_outage

            On May 16, 2011, Sony announced that two PlayStation 3 games and two PSP games would be offered for free from lists of five and four,† respectively.[75][76] The games available varied by region[75][76] and were only available in countries which had access to the PlayStation Store prior to the outage.[76]

        You had to pay to play online on Xbox a decade before that. It was free on PlayStation. When they changed it I just stopped playing online.

          Yeah, I had an Xbox for one game (Midtown Madness 3), and played through the trial for live, but never subscribed. I’m not sure if I paid for a month of psn+ during the gta5 launch, but if I did that would have been the only time I’ve put money to play multi-player. Didn’t take the bait for Games for Windows Live garbage either. It would take until the pc release of Halo 3/ODST/Reach/4 for me to play them, even though I badly wanted to play in their prime. Principles and all that. And I was pissed that MS shelved their windows gaming division to milk the Xbox.

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

        I mean I can, corporations are only people when it results in a positive outcome for them, but still. A fucking rootkit.

    played videogames for years without a problem, had a PS4 for a year and I swear that little beep gets mapped as a pavlovian reaction for being pissed the fuck off. Started more fights than being hungry.

        Not on PS4, but PS5 is much louder. They programmed the PS5 so that the startup sounds and music must be played through the TV, even if headphones are plugged in and settings are set to push all audio throigh headphones

    Have… Have y’all considered not marrying partners that you don’t share interests with? Like, I know I’m an edge case in that I’m 35, gay, and have never had a live in partner, but it’s really not that scary being single until you find someone you actually enjoy being with. Either it’ll happen or it won’t, but I’d rather be single and able to enjoy my hobbies and passions than be with someone who shares none of them.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Why bad? Both husband and wife have something to laugh about. This is one of them and it happens subconsciously. It is worse, when you can’t acknowledge it and take offense at such “life situations”

        That’s exactly what it is. Unfortunately, a TON of people are in boats like this everywhere. Encourage them to seek help, is what I think would be the best course of action for literally everybody in the entire world.

    Sexy time? No thanks

    Movie? No thanks

    What do you want to do?

    Sit on the porch with you, have a drink and talk, go for a walk, sleep, whatever.

    Why not just ask? Or:

    I’m gonna watch Hot Fuzz, do you want to?

    OMG you are so hot I want you right now.

    Not that it’s someone’s responsibility to know how to ask things, but I think it does help to you know, know your partner. Someone asking “sexy time?” wouldn’t make me want sex, and I might want to watch a movie if I know which one.

    Even better - "I’m gonna play Genshin, unless you wanna watch a movie, is there anything you want to watch? "

    Like, there are probably a thousand better ways to approach this. Maybe it’s in the delivery not the suggestions.

      Guess I’m lucky, my gf and I look at each other and just ask “wanna touch?” And 9/10 times touchy time commences. Literally zero bullshit nuance or mind reading. We have great communication and neither of us dance around what we want. Best relationship I’ve had.

        We love sex and do it everyday, and generally do compromise up (if either of us want to we do) but I so love me some nuance, too. Often, approach does matter and it’s nice. “wanna fuck” because I am bored is less likely to land than if I approach my husband physically, I know this. He knows me too, and how to get me started.

        Again - I don’t think it’s necessarily a requirement, just good to know how to ask, and to be aware of how your partner is feeling at the moment. Likely better results if you care to.
