    My gf does this too. She will buy me a game just to watch me play it. Although sometimes it’s to keep me distracted while she plays The Sims.

    I used to have a partner like this. She would comment on my face as I’m being serious in a part of a game haha.

    She was sweet however some incident caused us to realise it was no longer working on a romantic level. It’s a very sweet feeling though.

      One of my exes made decent money, would bring me flowers to work occasionally, really sweet girl. She would go way out of her way to try to find common things between us like down to the point of eating the same condiments on food even if she didn’t like them.

      As she approached her twenties, She started getting riskier and riskier in her extracurricular behaviors. Hanging out with people that were getting her blackout drunk, possibly having their way with her (per her own admission) still want to do hang out with them.

      I poked around some years later to see where she landed, at some point she was dating an IT guy and decided to throw an IT party for him. The whole thing just burbled with sweet, and cringe. Which was pretty on target.

      Glad I moved on and I’m glad it looks like she landed somewhere comfortable for her.

    My wife does this for reasons I don’t understand. Maybe I’m some kind of famous streamer or something. But I still have to choose good cute games like Mario or Kirby.

          I sometimes wonder what happened to all the boxed mattresses - Casper, Purple, Helix. They all just seem to have vanished into thin air.

            Purple went expensive, with hybrid mattresses that include coils. I think they do still sell the cheaper all-foam original too.

            We have an original purple from several years ago and still love it. I have no idea what we’ll look for next. It could very well be another purple.

            Everyone went out and bought knockoffs of the ones that spoke to them. Bought a knockoff extra-firm Casper “with Cooling Gel” five years ago. No regrets.

      If this is truly supposed to be a sexual innuendo she has no chance of him ever getting it. She needs to learn to communicate her wants and needs, at least more.

        Sometimes communicating your fetishes can be tricky. I mean, how do you find the right words to say “Honey, I’d like to open our relationship. But just for me. You’ll still remain faithful. But I will be seeking 149 other full time women. That way, I can see 5 of you a day, once a month. And none of you will orgasm, unless you’re with me. So once a month, each of you will compete for the chance to orgasm against 4 other women who ALSO haven’t orgasmed in at least a month, but more likely far longer, just as yourself. That way, everyday I can host a mini sexual olympics with a rotating cast of competitors. And I’ll stream it online, and charge people to watch. And then the users can also pay an extra fee to watch the reward orgasm for the winner! And an even higher tier to watch the 4 losers punishments! 2nd place is my personal driver for the day. 3rd place has to cook dinner for the day. 4th place is the maid for the day. And 5th place gets tied down to a table and tickled by the other 4 women.”

        It’s really hard to communicate that to your partner and not have her get all…judgy.

      Quit the game before I said goodbye to the deer (who is the first person if I remember correctly) because that game is too damn sad. Like it’s great, well written and I love the art style, but fuck man I’m playing games to have fun and that was not doing it for me. One of those games I’ll recommend but probably never finish.

        When I played with my kid I inadvertently read Atul’s lines like Robin Williams as he seemed like a jovial kind of person. But hoo boy that hits hard afterwards. And what is sadder is it’s based off of what happened with one of the dev’s family members.

          I was surprised at the sheer quality and variety of this game.

          It’s fun to play with either my kid or my wife.

        A couple couch co-op games i like personally are:

        • hyper light drifter
        • Rain world (with the downpour dlc) (incredible game)
        • Just shapes and beats
        • Crawl
        • Binding of Isaac (pretty sure some dlc is required)
        • Snipperclips plus
        • Duck game
        • Pikuniku
        • A hat in time (I haven’t actually played myself but my friends have)

        There’s also:

        • Battleblock theater
        • Towerfall
        • Samurai gunn
        • Distance
        • Human fall flat
        • Rocket league
        • Ultimate chicken horse
        • Enter the gungeon
        • Almost any fighting game

        You can also still play a lot of old couch co-op games through an emulator or get couch co-op mods for newer games (another commenter mentioned Minecraft). There’s a lot of options.

        The trine games! The first two are a little dated (while still being very fun) and the third one is pretty bad, but 4 or 5 are accessible and great!

        Don’t know about others, but you can barely call Odyssey co-op. Cappy mostly just watches Mario play.

      it takes two was pretty good, also I forgot if portal 2 multiplayer has split screen or not but that would be fun too
      edit: you can also mod Minecraft java edition to have split screen and controller support, haven’t personally tried it, but I saw a YouTuber do it lol (iirc bedrock edition has it built in but bedrock requires windows and is worse imo)
      edit 2: I forgot ibb and obb. Its good, but was too difficult to play with my (at the time) 10yr sibling. Not sure how it compares with adults.

        Bedrock could also be played on a console split screen.

        I’m bummed that Mario and Luigi brothership isn’t co-op, it’s in the name, TWO people!

        There are some other cute switch games that are co-op. Yoshi’s crafted world was fun.

        It indeed has about 10500 couch co-op games listed of which around 2500 work on PC.

        Saying there are none is just plain ignorance.
