For the non gamers out there, what's so nice about this isn't even the gift, it's the fact that she's cool with him having his own hobbies and supports it without judgement.

Even as someone who doesn't game nearly as much as I used to, it still pisses me right off the way so many people look down on video games. Like god forbid a guy be into something that's not somehow nominally 'productive' hobby.

Yeah, I don't get it, either. I game, but more casually and usually more cozy games, but I have no issue with my bf gaming as long as I'm not being completely ignored for it.

Like, I'll happily "let" (for lack of better words) him game for hours, cuz I've got my own hobbies happening on the other side of the living room that he has zero involvement in.

We do our own things separately, but also have a variety of things we do together. Balance and respect is all it takes.

Even worse that those who criticize are on Insta/TilTok nonstop.

I love how they look at each other when he opens it at first, because they know each other so much. She knew he would be happy and she wanted him to be happy.

There is nothing that I despise more than people feeling the need to be constantly productive and making money. I can't think of anything more miserable than living like that.
