Sucks to be you, Cheetus
It's great. My wife took over soldering of RGB mods and region free chips. She's still bad at fighting games and gets blocked in RPGs with meaningful inventory management once in a while. It's really comfy to have a live-in buddy and a wife in one person, though.
But, aside from that, it gets normal pretty fast. Makes you realize having a wife you like spending your hobby time with is normal and not some grand achievement. That being lonely and not having nearly all interests in common with your significant other is for people whose personality is too foul to be really loved and that way of being is sadly too common. It's harsh, but true.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 22 04:34:13 2018 No.5238367 >>5238320 Pretty gud. She's really picky though, always plays the same few games over and over. Mostly Lemmings and the Tomb Raider series. Strangely enough she doesn't like Zelda either. I thought it was a given for gamer girls. She finds it boring.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 22 05:35:59 2018 No.5238440 It's nice, though we don't have the most overlap with retro things. She likes a lot of roguelikes that I don't care for that much. At least we both like id games.

This.

Anyone who still fondly remembers the NES, SNES, Genesis or anything before N64 as a part of their childhood is too much of an old fart to date pic-related and that's assuming you don't creep her out at first.Only Zoomer Chads can date her. Just a harsh reality we have to accept.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 22 05:55:23 2018 No.5238468 A girl I dated years ago asked if she could borrow FF7 so I let her. When she complained about the difficulty I came over and noticed she was still using all the starting equipment a good ways in. She had somehow never figured out the equip menu.

That's a common complain against one of the dullest series of all time. Seriously each episode following the boy "adventurer" and his pals from Hyrule as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the cartoonish imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of repetitive puzzles, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Nintendo vetoed the idea of a third party producing the games; Miyanoto made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody- just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for their annual "party games". The Zelda series might be antiSony (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Spyro series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement.

>a-at least the platforming elements were good though

"No!"

The writing is dreadful; the exploration was nonexistent. As I played, I noticed that every time Link went to "explore" a largely empty world, Nintendo shoehorned in some repetitive puzzles to pad out the game. I began marking on the back of a Nintendo Power magazine every time I came to the same rehashed box pushing/lever pulling puzzles. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Nintendo's team is so governed by cliches and milking tired franchises ad nauseum that they have no other style of development. Later I watched a lavish, loving Let's Play of The Ocarina of Time by some YouTube manchild. He said something to the effect of, "If these kids are playing Ocarina of Time at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to owning a Nintendo Switch." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play The Ocarina of Time you are, in fact, trained to play the same dull Nintendo rehashes decade after decade

My GF still has her N64, occasionally plays Podracer on it, in which she fucking owns, also she is a huge Star Wars Geek. Other than that, we mostly play last gen.
Relationship wise she's very easy to handle, we never had a real fight, she enjoys the sex and we also share the /tg/ and /tv/ interest.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 22 06:57:42 2018 No.5238574 >>5238556 You have the preassumption that people only play old videogames nowadays because they were a part of their childhood. That is not the case.

I knew a girl that said she played pokemon. She proceeded to get tattoos and fucked every nigger in town. Video games and anime are not healthy hobbies and lead to mental illness and being a slut. western women are a mess they only play games for attention. you ever seen a girl wear one of these pokemon outfits? shes the town whore.

This girl isn't a gamer, she's a selfie tramp. Hear me out, if she were a gamer, the gameboy would be facing the other way so she could play it and see the screen, not pose with it like a necklace.

A true retro gamer gf has actual gaming skills like pic related.

I don't know how to tell you this anon, but you gf may be a lesbian. She just likes looking at Lara's ass. You might get her into Zelda titles by showing her Link's crossdressing section in BOTW.

western azn women act just like slutty spoiled whites and most are mutts anyways. No girl wants to be with a manchild thats only hobby is video games and he still lives with his parents in his 30s. But its also hard to find a gf thats not a crazy soul sucking bitch thats hit the wall.

congrats but you probably should stay away from children.
