I’ve learned how to keep my hype levels balanced with equal amounts of realism over the years. So NMS turned out pretty decent for me.

I play overwatch daily and had no idea about this character. It’s very much a Forum driven entity. So “ A Huge” number is likely really denigrated to the few thousand that uniquely post on reddit and/or the Blizzard forums. If **Every** overwatch play was mildly interested then I am sure the secret would have been…

At this point it might as well translate to ‘Drink More Ovaltine.’

“Hyping something for too long can result in complete loss of hype.”

Question for all Sombra hunters: Why 5%? Why not 6%? or 10, or any other number. Why specifically 5?

I think the gamer adult is a new thing, but in time we’ll become a normal American family type. It’s a part of my life, its a part of my relationship and how we’re raising our son. You just have to find a person who “gets it” or even better lives it with you.

We have multiple tvs and we each have our own PS4 and earlier consoles as well. We do this to play our own shit, or play together.

My wife straight up embarrasses me in GTA. She can also beat Super Mario World for Super NES from start to finish in like 10 minutes.

My wife plays games AND I’m a game designer. I get away with a lot of gaming, but I find it’s best if I do some of her usual chores. For example tomorrow I’ve got a date with I am Setsuna, but not before i brush the dog (she’s a shedder) and vacuum.

My wife plays more than me. Sometimes, she makes me play her MMOs with her but as a mule to do all the tedious stuff.

That’s what I did, got my GF a DS back in 2007 so I could play more PS2, these days she kicks my ass at Mario Kart but mainly plays Pikmin 3 while I rock on the PS4.

Nifty trick: Have a girlfriend

Seriously this! My wife has played the crap out of some Witcher 3. I spend more of my time making games than playing them, but will often take breaks late at night to play some Overwatch with friends.

Step 2: marry her

Well, “get a job playing video games” kind of shortcircuits how many people this will be applicable for - a noble Adequate Man tradition!

I can confirm this advice is true.

I’m married. I just tell her “I’m going to my room to play games” and she says “ok.”

other option: Marry a woman who shares your enthusiasm for video games

STEP 1: Have your own apartment.

Nifty trick: Have a girlfriend who plays video games as much or more than you.
