Today I let my gf get the Sims 4 to play because she loves that poo poo, customizing life builder etc. Within 2 hours she killed her Sim because it started a fire cooking eggs and she couldn't figure out how to put it out. She then saved over the file because she thought it was dead forever. I love her dearly

the last game i saw my dad play (other than just dance) was arcanoid on the pc. him and my step-mother would compete for the high score and when one would come out of the study bragging the other would storm in for revenge

My Mom saw my Dad doing the casino in Dragon Warrior 3 on NES and became obsessed with it and later became a scratch off addict (the kind that scratches at the counter of the store)

My dad was better than me at every game when I was a kid and as an adult he doesn't play anything you could really fail at. So I've never witnessed it OP.

Dad would get really motion sick from video games. Both my parents were pretty religious when I was growing up and very sensitive to me playing games with anything they perceived to be sacreligious. I bought Black and White in middle school and my dad walked up like "watcha playing?" and I knew he wouldn't be cool with it when he realized it was about being God so I just immediately started spinning the camera around as fast as I could and he instantly had to leave the room

hard to relate. my dad got so into goldeneye that he unlocked most of the cheats himself, including invincibility lol. my mom used to play dr. mario for nes for like hours at a time and would get up to higher levels than anyone else in the house. apparently they used to play a lot of atari together when they were dating. my brother used to be able to beat tyson in punch-out while playing upside down as a party trick, like years and years ago before speedrunning and blindfold runs and poo poo like that were really a thing. we used to do gaming marathons together over the summer too like trying to beat mega man 1-6 in one sitting. good poo poo. i play co-op games with my gf pretty routinely and she also plays a lot of stuff herself and will call me in to help with difficult sections, which is cool because they're also usually the most fun parts of whatever she's playing. all fairly win tbh

the biggest fails i can think of: - right after modern warfare came out, i was playing local multiplayer against my best friend (RIP) who didn't realize that the radar wasn't just some decorative part of the hud, so i was basically just spawn-killing him over and over until he figured it out. he was so pissed that he went home - my mom infected the family PC with a virus while trying to pirate Jewel Quest 3 by herself instead of asking one of us for help - my sister's baby daddy received an unexpectedly large tax return one year and immediately used it to buy an original xbox and Legends of Wrestling instead of like, supplies and formula for his newborn child. both his family and ours guilted him into returning it all lol. dipshit.

My dad was mostly into flight sims and would leave them running in real time while he did other poo poo, and no one was allowed to touch the computer during these times. And sometimes he'd do some psycho poo poo like setting the option to "no surrender" on Red Alert, and just leave his massive army outside a single enemy barracks & walking away. Picking the enemy infantry off as soon as they came out, just because he wanted a higher score.

My friend’s single dad left the house a total wreck and in the middle of the living room on stacks of phone books and miscellaneous portfolios and poo poo, as late as like 2009 this guy had a old rear end yellow CRT with a Red Alert game running on it that was, I was told, several months old at least, and that this poo poo was a regular thing and absolutely off limits and he was like showing me around his dads map but looking over his shoulder scared he might come through the front door lmfao. And putting the screen exactly back and poo poo to cover his tracks. Red Alert dads ftw.

My friend got me Cyberpunk 2077 as a gift even though I was pretty sure it would be really janky at launch and it's not my kinda game. I still appreciated it, so I put 10 hours into it but it really didn't run well on my computer so I stopped I got him a year of PC Game Pass as a return gift, set up the subscription for him, and only later found out that he never got past the installation because he "didn't want Microsoft to access his data"

I've told the story before but my parents bought me Counter-Strike: Condition Zero for Christmas when I was like 9 or 10 and one time I came out of my room after doing homework to find my dad attempting to do a bot skirmish. He had no armor and just the USP so after watching him lose a round I said 'you know you can buy better equipment' and he leaped up from the computer like I caught him jacking off or something. Didn't see him even look at a game for the next couple years lol.

My dad tried to play Super Mario Bros. and he wasn't very good at it. But every time he did manage to get to the end of a level he would always jump for the top of the flag pole and every single time without fail he would land and hit the very bottom instead. Apparently this is a speed run strat so he was actually ahead of his time. He's also a huge Beatles fan and used to play the drums so my brother had Beatles Rock Band and the whole family was playing and of course he was on drums. We played The End and when it got to the drum solo part I think he hit one note correctly in the entire thing.

I had just prior to that been so dumbstruck by Sephiroth’s unforgivable act that I fumbled to even put the disk into the tray lol after like 15 seconds of looking at the big Mog or whatever telling me to insert 2.
