- And I just witnessed the saddest moment of introducing my wife to gaming.
|
The binding of isaac is what got her started in gaming due to the graphics of it being cutesy. This was about a year ago. (PC gaming but Ps4 is more active than the ds3 pc board)
Starts off horrible at most games to start with but keeps trying due to her wanting to see more. Kept watching me play dark souls 3 then got started on her own character. i explained dueling and about how Pontiff's area is a designed spot for her. She tried her hand at it and kept getting destroyed of course but after being summoned she got killed and the player did the (point at the ground) gesture. She asked "Why did he do that? normally they bow or wave" in the most innocent (or ignorant) way possible. I told her that he was showboating over having killed her and then she did it again, asking "Why?" once more. I just looked at her, forgetting she didn't grow up with online gaming and experience all the ass****es. I told her how he was rubbing in the fact he won and she shrugged, saying it was just a game. But after that she didn't seem to be having as much fun or laughing after the duels. We booted up Mario Cart on the wii for a change of pace afterwards but that moment really stuck out, how she realized that a lot of online gamers are wieners. Made me sad. |
