And this ladies and gentlemen, is why we play games at 1am and fuck up our sleep schedule
I especially hate this because it’s often after like 10 hours of staring at a wall doing fuck all. As soon as I start doing literally anything, all of a sudden I’m in high demand.
This hits so much.

Yeah, I’m right here with you. 2 kids under 6, and a wife who’s love language is ‘acts of service’. Fuck. Me.
Conveniently enough (at least in this case) “everyone in my house” boils down to just me.
Every god damn time. Whether it’s sitting down to work on something or to play a game, the wife needs something. Hell… even my work is the same. It’s an easy job with random amounts of downtime but the moment I decide to start cleaning or just scroll lemmy on my phone suddenly everyone needs help.
On the rare occasion I decide to do a group dungeon in ESO, I feel like I get a text from my husband “wanna go to the store.” Every. Time.
And it’s hard to explain that I can’t just quit right now, it wouldn’t be fair to the nice little people in my PC.
Just tank the dungeon.
No one will notice you’re gone.
This, but always during an unpausable cutscene.
I use to wonder the same thing with the GF when it came to Zelda. It always seemed she was in a part of the game she couldn’t pause.
One day she showed me the game play and I couldn’t believe the amount of loading and dialog scenes that modern games sit through these days.
What she hasn’t told you is the Switch can go in sleep mode and pick up right where she left off at any time
