My one and only time to play sneaky shooting games with my then husband. I walked right up to his character. He was so confused he didn’t notice I put a handgranade on the ground behind him before I sauntered back to my part of the grounds. 3-2-1-BOOM! And he never wanted to play that game with me again 🤣🤣🤣

I'll play on easy. I'll play on hard. It just depends on if I feel like a challenge or just want to relax. Hard has a purpose too, but I tend to only use it when I have the brain power to actually plan and take my time.

Ex husband worked for the Bitmap brothers (remember them?), part of the reason they folded is because the publishers created terrible contracts that meant the IP for a game belonged to them if someone left the team/a milestone was missed/you looked at them funny. But the kicker was, the game developers didn't get any royalties because once the publisher had recouped the cost of getting the game made and out there they sold it just over cost. Kind of hope it's better now, but I doubt it...

The second comment, while maybe true (and even that is debatable, because it's literally in the definition of a TRAUMATIC event), is a stupid take. Most people usually just don't recognize PTSD issues because 'we' as a species are *still* saying it's a taboo topic.

When I played Pokémon Sword, I got really annoyed after losing to Leon once, so I pulled up to the fight with an OP gifted Melmetal (the level 100 one you get from transferring from Go to Home) and handed the switch to my boyfriend, who had very little mainline Pokémon experience. It was really funny.

I remember playing Battlefield 2, two decades ago. I was a part of an "army" (basically a guild) and Ventrilo was still a very new thing. Voicechat wasn't exactly universal back then XD I was the only girl in the entire army, and not a single guildmate believed I was female, since girls didn't admit to playing FPS games back then. In Ventrilo, they decided that, because my voice was high-pitched, I had to be a 12-year-old boy. Good times XD I know "girls don't play video games" is a trope now, but back then, guys would get really píssed when they found out "a girl" had blown up the tank they were driving XD
