Kelp Me! posted::scoff: you want me to intentionally play a bad deck, just so my crybaby girlfriend will actually enjoy herself and not feel intimidated and belittled every time I make her play against me? It's a turn based strategy guys, even if the decks are imbalanced there's a bunch of optimal ways to play you internalize that will just naturally give you an advantage. Think of literally any other game where it's player vs player, if someone has much better fundamentals than their opponent it doesn't matter if they pick weaker characters or use weird strategies they haven't tried out before they'll just win with better technique and decision making. This is made worse because it's turn based, there's not a good way to "play more casually" when your options are "make the right play" vs "don't make the right play". They can just play gimmick versions of the game like crap stack or 2hg or w/e, but if it's just 1 v 1 with normal rules it's probably not gonna be a fair fight even if he gave himself every handicap reasonably possible. I dunno what's so hard to understand about this. Also didn't we drop this for like 2 pages why are you so insistent about dragging it back out?

nobody cares about how you're too pro at magic:the gathering to let a casual win or how the correct card choosing instincts are just too strong in your blood for you to ever lead a normal life or whatever. tyvm for this true r/relationships guy story, it deserves a history channel-style reenactment A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 18:24 on May 31, 2017 |

Hey lets talk about video games instead of MtG! My wife [25 F] wants to divorce me [25 M] because she thinks I like playing video games more than hanging out with her quote:My wife and I have been together for a little over 2 years. At the beginning of our relationship I can admit that I did play a lot of video games. Once we started getting serious I started playing less and less. We both work full time but she makes way more than I do. When we go out to eat or something we usually split the check but sometimes when I am low on cash and she wants a burger she will pay for it if I pick up. I would say that she wears the financial pants in the relationship. Every so often if we are both doing nothing I will tell her that I am going to play 1 game of LoL or CSGO which usually takes about an hour. Sometimes she is ok with it but most of the time she will get pissed because she thinks I prefer to play video games than spend time with her which turns into a fight. Right now we are trying to get a house and being in the area that we have to hit the top of our budget to get a house. quote:At this time she does not have any hobbies. She has some podcasts she listens to or some tv shows. She said she would be more ok if it was a normal hobby like basketball or something. She thinks that I am a loser and a child since I like video games quote:The thing is that there is only one show I hate that she watches which is Teen loving mom. I hate the show but I dont hate her for liking it. quote:Most of the time I have to watch it with her or she will be upset. quote:She has tested me many times before this by saying "if you really love me you will stop playing for X amount of weeks or months" which I have happily done. There are dudes who pay good money for this kind of treatment.

Ya'll nerds should have tapped more kegs and less manna in college. My [30 F] Dad [53 M] and his wife [40 F] have decided to open their relationship (fine). She is dating my ex-girlfriend [30 F]. quote:First off, I'm a gay lady, and this ex is from 2 years ago. We dated for about a year. I don't know if there is any actual advice for this issue. I'm mad at both my "step-mom" and my ex. It's their life, and their business, but I just feel like there are plenty of women out there if she just had to try women. Did it have to be someone that we spent Christmas with as a family as my girlfriend in the past.

This ends with instead of him divorcing her, saying hes going to take up basketball and then be out of the house more and more for longer and longer until either he stops coming home or he gets photographed buying 4 nintendo switches to throw a mk8 tournament in his hotel room.

i once got shoved so hard i fell over by an angry pokemon league dad because his son claimed i "cheated" (was actually just butthurt i built a kickass deck that exploited some pretty basic and well documented edge cases) people were more angry that i was "cheating" (playing too 'mean' against kids) than about a grown rear end man assaulting a 13 year old tldlr: card games are serious business

I have lived with my fiancée (she was my GF up until a year ago) for 7 years now, we are home together a lot, and we often do our own things. If every moment I was home, she felt we had to be doing something together, I would probably go insane or we would have broken up a long time ago.

Couples need different amounts of time together and activity focus and all sorts of stuff. That said, if someone tells you "dont do something for x amount of time to prove you love me" you should go ahead and saunter out of there because its over. Either you truly are an addict and theyll resent you forever or, vastly more likely, they are controlling and your happiness bothers them.

I wouldbt be upset per se if she went into another room to watch a movie without me, but it would just feel... off. It's all awful. Video games are just another way to look at a flashing screen for entertainment. If you are super outdoorsy or into really active hobbies like building/making poo poo, yeah it can be an incompatibility, but if you are watching tv in one room, and your partner is playing a video game, you have 0 ground to stand on calling one or the other out unless they are dedicating unhealthy amounts of time to it. Any time I have lived with a woman, we gave each other space at times. You just work it out. Some nights you spend all the time together, other times you do your own thing. People hardly ever have identical tastes in say, movies, so if a partner wants to watch something I'm not into, I let her have the tv and i go play a game or watch a different movie or go for a walk, or whatever.
