If "friends" or even "girlfriends" tell you it's cringe, it's them that's cringe. Worker-bees with sticks up their arses. Get away from such toxic people.
I get it, I'm gaming for 40yrs now, and i know how it feels to be ridiculed for it. Fuck them. Especially when it's coming from people who spend their time watching TV or mindlessly scrolling fuckbook et al. They really should STFU. Gaming always was an art-form, now more than ever. And adults have a right to, nay, the freedom to enjoy their passions guiltfree.
Drag plays video games with drag's partner. Right now @HonouraryDragon@lemmy.nz is playing through Deathloop. We only have one copy, so unfortunately drag can't invade its game and kick it off a cliff as Julianna, but it's still fun to watch it play through the early stages. On its first loop after unlocking infusion, it got the Strelak Verso AND the Sepulchra Breteira! Only cooler thing would have been getting the Heritage Gun.
Anyway drag can't imagine having a partner who isn't into games. Luckily, everyone drag has ever fallen in love with enjoyed a variety of entertainment media. Probably because boring people are too busy watching broadcast TV all day to hang out in the cool places.
If the partner is enjoying games, and especially the same games, it's awesome. My wife isn't as fanatic as i am, but has her own share of game-love. Couldn't imagine a partner that wouldn't at least get it either.
