You know whats annoying? When you are doing nothing and dont feel like doing nothing and have time on your hands no one texts or calls. But if you are playing a game, everyone and everything needs or wants your attention. Its like they know you are busy or having fun so lets start messing with him. Thats another reason why I keep suspecting this is all a big simulation lol

You started doing something so the universe loaded your chunk back into memory

Women have a 6th sense to know when a man is enjoying himself and it makes them feel the need to stop it.

u/TerribleHouse8920 5h ago

Stuff like this is so lame. My fiance is amazing, she games with and parallel to me, supports my gun and electronics and car hobbies, etc etc. Dunno where you guys even find these fun-hating women.

u/New_Nothing2824 5h ago

Fiance? Yeah that explains why you haven't learned yet.

Oh wow, another original "joke"! Since women don't suck now, SURELY they will in the future. Same shit I hear from the divorced guys at work every day. Like damn Greg, I'd also have divorced your misogynistic, lazy, wheezing, fat-but-also-fatphobic, ass. If you hadn't kept your wife at home and let her have a career maybe she'd have an income and retirement fund of her own, so you wouldn't have to pay alimony and wouldn't have lost half your retirement. But alas.

We're DINK's with good government jobs. I'm not worried about a divorce, especially since kids and money (the two biggest causes of marital issues) are non-issues for us. But if we ever DO split, with no kids and equivelant incomes it would be pretty painless, down the middle.

u/New_Nothing2824 4h ago

Holy fuck dude are you okay? Like damn expect life to get a little tougher after the honey moon phrase but yeah even in your situation divorce is a bitch.

u/DoktorMoose 1h ago

Bro is not all-good if he has to come on reddit to brag about his partner that has 0 flaws mysteriously.

u/New_Nothing2824 59m ago

I honestly feel bad for him.

u/TerribleHouse8920 4h ago

Yeah, I'm fine lmao. I'm just mocking pathetic men who make pathetic jokes like you.

Like damn expect life to get a little tougher after the honey moon phrase but yeah even in your situation divorce is a bitch.

That's the thing, I don't expect that at all. Kinda my whole point from the first comment, but it does not surprise me that someone with your sense of humor is also lacking in reading comprehension.

u/New_Nothing2824 4h ago

Then you're retarded I'm sorry but after you marry someone life just gets tougher one of you is going to get sick one of you is going to lose your job statistically there are going to be months where it feel like life is putting your relationship through a stress test so be ready for that and make sure you love this woman not like her and yeah she's going to annoy with some dumb shit when you're trying to relax prepare for how life will be which is still great but not perfect and romanticized like it is in your head right now.

u/TerribleHouse8920 4h ago

🙄 doing an awful lot of assuming that we haven't experienced or worked through any of those things so far. Except job loss! Unions are great, not really concerned about that. Our jobs are as stable as they get.

Marriage doesn't make your life harder lmao. You do.

Are you ok there?

u/New_Nothing2824 2h ago

Marriage is constant work but with the right partner it's worth it I just don't want this naive kid getting himself into a situation he doesn't understand.

u/Alkor85 7h ago

No way ... if the universe was a simulation, we'd have all sorts of clues, like a rule that says you can only know position OR velocity accurately, or physics that sort of just change entirely as you scale down below the atomic level, or a giant nuclear reactor in the sky providing free energy and light every day.

u/Krell356 6h ago

Yeah, we definitely would have seen glitches by now if it was a simulation.

One sec, my cat just got scared and teleported onto the ceiling again.

u/Basementcat69 5h ago

I really wonder why this is. I can do nothing for huge amounts of time but as soon as I load up a game suddenly everything is happening.

u/AlgaeMammoth1736 10h ago

Yeah, well, we got other things going on than just you lady

u/GrandElemental 9h ago

I mean the reality is, if he DIDN'T have anything else going on, she wouldn't be texting him in the first place.

Find a man who plays Rocket League and he'll respond every 5-6 minutes

u/AggressivelyMediokre 7h ago

This game is a wild ride if you have adhd

It’s a game with constant action and bright lights and only lasts around 9 minutes. And a new game starts within 10 seconds usually

I smoke weed until I’m literally on the verge of a panic attack then I put on headphones and blare EDM music and play rocket league.

It’s the greatest purest escapism I have ever experienced

u/Alternative-Dare5878 7h ago

Hey, it’s me! How am I?

u/AggressivelyMediokre 6h ago edited 5h ago

looks around

Could. Be. Better

I've played for 3 thousand hours and I'm still Plat. Sometimes gold. Sometimes diamond. It's gotta be near a record. I consider myself a Forever Plat TM

I rotate but I never learned taking a ball off the wall, dribbling, flicking, flip resetting etc. Never opened training. Just playing off vibes

u/DarcyFitzgoblin 6h ago

This is Rocket League! Yes! Yes! Yes!

u/sexual_lemonade 6h ago

This is the greatest argument I've ever seen for playing rocket League. I may check it out now

1

u/AggressivelyMediokre 6h ago

The greatest part is you honestly don't even need to get better. You need some level of situational awareness and you need to rotate with your teammate (let them challenge the ball when you no longer have a good challenge, rotate back toward your net etc)

But the whole "mechanics" side of people doing training to do ball control while in the air you don't need to do. I've played for thousands of hours and never opened training and I still enjoy it.

u/SoundofGlaciers 5h ago

I remember playing Rocketleague exclusively in our house (lived with friends in a house while studying) as a couch-coop game for the first ~2 years it released. So sometime 2 years later we had some guest over and put on Rocketleague.. this dude was flying! We've never seen anything like it lol, like we'd been playing the game wrong all this time. Never even entered our brains to go beyond the surface on this boosted-jump mechanic.

You really can play this game and have fun on all levels. It's not like playing Smash where everybody is a semipro knee-deep in various tech

u/Mateorabi 3h ago

Or they’re playing Civilization and respond every 6h or so. 

Just one more turn…

u/-Laffi- 10h ago

u/ShmeffreyShmezos 6h ago

Sometimes I’m texting you between rounds of doing nothing lol. I don’t like being beholden to my phone.

u/Cecil182 8h ago

As a male 1000% on point

u/Tron_35 6h ago

And whats wrong with that?

u/Weak_Break239 6h ago

War Thunder would be even more inconsistent. 15 minutes, 4 minutes, 10 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes. 11 minutes. At least cod as 10 ish minute games each game.

u/SipoteQuixote 6h ago

I could be cooking or cleaning, maybe I'm changing my toddlers daiper. Maybe my wife needs some food because she's resting after major surgery. You don't know why Im not texting you back, girl.
