It's a good thing the shirt didn't day "I turned my game off to be here." She might not be ready for something that serious.

I have kids, they don’t turn their games off. They leave them running on one screen with YouTube playing nonstop on another screen while they’re watching ticktock on their phone in a different room. This is not an exaggeration.

That's just because their parents didn't teach them to value energy conservation.

No, no… it’s the kids that are wrong. The kids!

It's never too late, buddy

If any kids think they're pulling that shit with my OLED monitor, they're in for a rude awakening.

Screen burn-in, that's a paddlin'.

That's your fault for not using a Screensaver dude.

Windows95 has some sweet ones built in if your using that.

I also used to just keep my computer running like that. 5,400 RPM SMR HDD is something (why did HP think that was a good idea in 2020).

For real, they'll leave their phone farming in Roblox and wonder why their battery is always dead.

Online games: I went AFK to be here.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I left the match. There was no pause button. I love you.

A bit anti-fem though, unless "darling" can be used disparagingly at men too. Which I guess it can

Everyone in the server is pissed.

"How is this dude pausing Fortnite? Hacker!"

I will ditch an online match for instant nookie

You just need the resolve

I once left my char in LOTRO auto running to go have sex. Came back to having gone offline from afk, but still alive and far from where I started, and a bunch of annoyed friends on Ventrilo. Would do again.

There is another time to play and win a game. There is a better game to play.

Should've asked what game.... It really changes the context

Online games dont pause, but sometimes love still wins.

Or a pause that comes during an intense fight in a single player requiring complete attention (e.g. Cuphead, Hollow Knight). That takes love ❤️
