Yes, she's back in school, has bi-monthly visits from her son, takes great care of her cats, does a little charity work, hangs out with friends and all while subscribed to Final Fantasy XIV, which she doesn't play very often. I'm proud of her.

Is it okay to ask what server you played on? I used to be on Hades and played with a few couples. Some left suddenly, at least thats what it felt like at the time. Reading your post thought puts some good perspective as to why.
 
If by Fallout you meant the original Fallout, then I would say all is good and let her ride out the addiction.

Fallout 3?

The only solution is to introduce her to Fallout 1. If she likes it, then you propose. If she doesn't like it you drop her ass.

also stealth "i have girlfriend" brag thread

Best advice given in this thread :p
 
I dunno, when I'm stoned I prefer oldskool NES games and stuff... wasn't too crazy about Fallout 3 sober but maybe it's better when you are stoned?

We played on Cerberus.
 
I had this exact same shit happen to me, its really fuckin sux guys do trust. I copped a mutated and stronger strain later on, can't play fallout games as a result anymore.

This girl I dated went from non-gamer to fallout 3 OBSESSED. Its as if she found god except it was fucking fallout 3. It was great to start with, gaming marathons together on the lounge etc, then everything became about Fallout. Meals were fallout themed, conversations lead back to fallout, months of days and nights of nothing but third person view fallout 3 (UGH), it was a nightmare.

Pretty much after that relationship broke (we had a "falling out"), I moved into a share house of 4 other people right when new vegas released. Day and night, there was fallout new vegas, every screen, upstairs downstairs everywhere. Plenty of bongs too but that wasn't so bad. The "click" sound of vats is burned into my brain.

Cool story bro, except that its not.

Months is pretty extreme to spend playing one non-MMO, how many months?

I remember her having 200 hours at one point early on. Then it kept going and going. Once the 360 version was exhausted, then came the pc version, DLC etc etc. She wasn't a "gamer" at the time, but she branched out eventually I guess. She really identified with that game, thinking about it now I was probably jealous of that gaming innocence.
 
Just reading the OP i don't get how some people jump to "stealth brag thread" in a second. He didn't post a pic of her and a gf just gaming all day every day isn't the most attractive/loveable thing i could imagine.

If the roles would be turned and a girl would describe the situation i bet the thread would turn out a little different.

And although this is a videogame forum with alot of hardcore gamers, GAF has thousands of people with a partner and a normal job so saying the fact that you have a GF and she plays alot are points for a brag thread?

To the OP: if this is not a joke thread: just talk to her. Probably a phase. Some games are pretty addicting. Would be way more worrieng it it was WoW.
 
I hope your speech skill is at least 80 or higher.


In reality you should ask her what's going on. If she has been okay. Take her on a fun date. Make her realize that she can have a better and fun time with you then playing games. Talk to her about how you understand that you feel a little neglected and I can see in your point of view whenever I play games on my free time. Tell her you enjoy that you understand the games I play because that's something you guys can talk about and relate to.

I don't know OP just something off the top of my head. I hope your Charisma is high too.
 
Bleh @ the pot smoking women over here, they smell horrible and do things that even the dirtiest men won't do while not influenced by alcohol or drugs.
I fell sorry for OP.
 
I've never seen sharing that hobby as something desirable. I think a couple needs to have their own interest and hobbies so they can have time away from each other. Give themselves a chance to miss one another. I'd never date a girl that played videogames as much as I do. And I don't play THAT often.
I'm not sure if I agree with this entirely. Most of my friends at work are women that sre into games and orher nerdy (comic books, movie) culture. Everytime we go out to lunch we always have fresh gaming related stuff to talk about especially these few months with the next gen consoles. My girlfriend albeit not at all into gaming culture/industry ownes like 5 consoles, she can kick my ass in some fighting games (my favorite genre) like Soul Caliber V and DoA 5. And honestly I don't think I can have it any other way. She is also waay too much into GTA V online right now, but she is a well rounded person, and only limits her gaming to like a few nights of the week.

Guess what I'm trying to say is, I like having SOs that share my hobby, there's nothing wrong with that, if not lots of things "right" as long as we both enjoy our hobby in moderation.

There's a lot of sad, lonely people here.

Let them dream.
 
I want your girlfriend

OP: Any updates on the situation?

Hahaha what the fuck is this post. What does horrible things even mean? What imaginary land are you living in filled with female potheads running around getting bukaked and double analed for a zip of weed? But I guess I'll have to tell my 60 year mother than she smells horrible and does terrible things not even the dirtiest man would do when she's high. Like read books and go swimming and bake cakes and listen to Joni Mitchell. That whore!!! And damnit I always knew my pothead sister was just pretending to be a respected and hard working career woman in a loving and commited relationship. And I guess I'll have to tell my friend that all her dedication to charity work around the world is clearly a cover to hide her mass dick sucking activities when she's high. You didn't build that school in Nepal because you are a kind and caring person! You did it so you could go somewhere, get high, and diddle children! Shit, and all those other females I know who are potheads! All those married women who work their asses off at both their job and families! All those young ladies who put themselves through college and grad school while smoking weed! All those friendly, kind, thoughtful, hard working, and dedicated women who I admire and consider good friends. All dirty dirty sick fucks doing indeterminate but horrible things while high!

If the stupid sarcasm didn't make it clear, your post is absurd and you should feel bad about yourself for posting it.
 
Saw that siddx was the last poster. Came in expecting a great rant. Was not disappointed.

Lol I had my rant meter near full all night, I had to get something out. I'm glad someone enjoyed it!

I also have to say that the idea that merely stating you have a girlfriend somehow means you are bragging is hilarious to me and sounds like the kind of thing kneckbeards who can't remember the way out of their parents basement without a map would say. People date other people, it's not unusual or a thing to brag about for the majority of even semi normal human beings.
 
Yeah, if she's playing Fallout all through the holidays then shit just got real.

Of course, that is what I plan on doing. Fallout 3 is like my warm comfort blanket. If I'm feeling down it's time to nuke Megaton again.

Calm down, wow.
I live in the Netherlands, I have some experience with women who smoke that stuff over here in my small hometown, probably more than you but that's obvious as this is the Walhalla of drugs.
One stabbed my friend for 10gr, that stuff made her mental, and others behave like infants on the streets and bug old people, 2 killed cats in my neighbourhood. It's a small group of women who do that type of stuff here because of their bf's and they also have a pretty fucked up life that's why I said:

I don't think it's the pot that make them do these things though (at least some of them). I'm not talking about your mother, or your sister, or your friends, not even some of my friends or other women who are "potheads" no one but those types of women in my city. Maybe I should have made that a bit more clear. my apologies for that, I'm horrible at English, I'm just not offending the users, let that be clear. That attempt of you to post a snarky comment failed miserably, if you feel that I've offended your family with my post just say it in a normal way and don't post an uneeded rant.


But I'm not going to derail the topic anymore. PM me if you have something to say, if not, good day to you and merry christmas.

I can definitely see the appeal but its simply not for me.

I'm a gamer. I have a podcast, got a ps4 at launch. But I still think this hobby is a giant waste of time. I just know that at some point I'm going to stop playing and I doubt I'll look back on it and think "I'm glad I did that". There are simply better things to with your SO in my opinion. I'm really glad it's working for you though. Not knocking your situation. Just not something I can see for myself.
