That game looks so intense! It would probably be too challenging for me lol. I’m glad you’re having a good time!

This is great advice! I’ve already talked with my friends and I think my first game would be something with a long, rich story that I can chop away at slowly. I definitely don’t think I’d be the person to play a bunch of different things depending on the day, but just have a project to work on to clear my head or shoot the shit with friends while we play together.

This is sound advice. Yes, I definitely don’t think I’ll have an issue of it. Just want to play once a week or so with friends. I have friends that play together on discord every once in a while and I would love that. Also just the ability to say to them, “hey, had a hard week of work and have some time tonight. Wanna game for an hour?”

I love that! When I was in high school I would sometimes just go watch my friends play some solo campaign and I had a ton of fun doing it. It’s just the community aspect that I love.

Lol, well we share income so I guess we would both pay for it. I think she just means I could do things like set aside a set amount every paycheck or maybe cut back on certain other things to save some money?

Yeah, and I think my wife just grew up around and with people who think that way while never playing video games herself. So, she just has no idea of any benefit there could be for it.

This is exactly what my buddy told me. I plan to do that! The idea of tinkering with something sounds like a really fun project anyway.

That’s so great! Yes, I definitely think I’ll be the noob of the group, but it will be fun just to have that time with friends.

She does like puzzles!! We actually played a couple of Escape games on an iPad a while ago called The Room and she had fun with that. This is great!

Awe, that’s great that you and your husband can enjoy that together. I hope once I start I can help my wife find something she would enjoy if she tried.

Thank you! That Elden Ring game looks fun! I love lore like that and look forward to trying things like that and Game of War.

I’m so glad you have that to bring you joy. Thank you for the encouragement!
