I've been annoyed since multi-player became a paid service since the ps3, but it's nice to finally have some validation. Only took 20 years but...

E: and we can't forget the rootkit fiasco either

They enshittified long before the PS5 came out. I think it's been about two decades since the music CD rootkit scandal, for instance.

Bit late to the party. They got caught infecting their customers' machines with rootkits back in 2005.

There are some pretty serious boomers on this site lol, just fewer than elsewhere.

To me this reads as "look how dysfunctional we are! I don't know how to communicate! Lol!"

You don't have to share every hobby. You just need to not shame each other for enjoying different things.

Sometimes you just don't discover everything out about that person even years after being with them. This is especially true when you meet at younger ages. Also everyone changes the older you get. The person you marry can absolutely change over a decade as everything becomes a never ending routine and you each find things you can no longer tolerate as much as you used to when you dated and tried harder (for some reason) to be like the other person. Knowing this now I wish it was mandatory for everyone to wait 5 years before getting engaged and 2 of those years has to be living together. Even then you never know who they will be 10 years from now. The worst part about getting older is wishing you knew all of what you know now but 20-30 years ago so you could have actually applied it when it mattered.

That's a frown that says: "Fucking console peasant, go cry about getting no physical media".

How do you know they're straight

I can see how it would be very annoying to genuienly be trying to sleep, and someone is playing video games in the very same room.

Maybe move the console to the living room, use a headset?

If he's got too much energy to sleep, and she wants sleep now... this seems mutually agreeable?

Maybe I'm an odd duck, but what's always made sense to me, as a very light sleeper, is that a couple would each have their own beds, where they could sleep in the same bed when feeling more cuddly, or seperately when truly exhausted.

What's the fun in that?
