Y'all haven't convinced your wives to exclusively watch BBC dramas like I, Claudius and Smiley's People?

On the one hand, Bravo programming is her guilty pleasure which gives me leeway to keep gaming. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure her brain gets a little smoother with every episode of Real Housewives...

This is my dilemma.

I put the kids to bed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so she can watch the newest episodes of Real Housewives free of interruption. This seems fine, as this allows me to negotiate for a Thursday/Saturday/Sunday night of watching football late without bedtime duties.

BUT, then I realize that I'm not sure if I'm okay with her watching Real Housewives free of interruptions, because of the psychological damage it likely causes.

I’m guessing I’m lucky my wife watches vampire shows instead of the reality garbage??

Nuh uh... she is downloading new ways to manipulate you. Bravo shows are literally PhD level courses in managing husbands.

It seems to appeal to the female lizard brain in the same way that football and violent video games do for ours: forming and breaking alliances, policing the social hierarchy, using one's sexuality to maintain material security, etc.

Really glad I'm not a woman.

Tony Hawk 1&2 is significantly harder than the og games, and it’s not me getting older or this or that bc I played 1&2 recently in the build up to this one. It’s harder.

I enjoyed it playing with friends and everybody on Discord, but did not enjoy it playing with randoms online.

Seems like that sort of game. I'm having fun watching twitch streams and enjoying the memes, but its not my friends' thing so I know I would just be throwing money away.

I mean, I'd be willing to play with y'all randos. It'd be fun to begin most games by ejecting Wiz

I don't play on PC because I'm not a nerd.

I play on Nintendo because I'm a Grown Man.

Among Us is fun, it's even free on mobile apparently and you can play with those on PC Master Race. Let's get a game going

It's alright for a shitter game, but I've got better things to play otherwise. I did pick it up on Steam, but only so I could give my daughter the phone so we can tag team the competition and play something together.

I bought Shadow of War for this winter when I have time. It was on sale for $11.

For the first time ever, I've gotten bored with an Assassin's Creed game. Trying to play AC: Unity, and France looks gorgeous, but the gameplay itself is blah.

Thinking about switching to Shadow of Mordor... which is still Assassin's Creed, but not.

My brother-in-law got me Dark Souls 2 for my birthday. Not sure I've ever hated a game more than this one.

Anyway, I got my hand full between Tony Hawk, Madden, The Show and CoD,....
