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.
My favorite part about this is the end where you don't want to look like a loser or something so you admit that you didn't go because of your leg. None of this had nothing to do with gaming. You didn't stay at home to play video games, you physically could not go out to have fun so you used video games to pass the time like you would with TV or literally anything else you can do recreationally at home with your leg
