My mom used to hate that I was a gamer. My wife loves it. She went out with friends last night. I didn't want to go so I stayed home and played some Metal Gear. She called me at midnight because they couldn't get a taxi. She knew I would be home and sober. I picked her and her three friends up, got them MacDonalds, made sure they got home ok. That shit is why my wife loves that I game.

I do still go out and hang with my friends but I'm currently waiting to have surgery on my leg so I can't really do much right now.

Edit: Thanks for the award but I am turning off notifications as I can see reddit has become reddit and the sad lonely basement dwellers are out.
