She’s judging the husband for using a Sony product now that they’ve enshittified.
I’ve been annoyed since multi-player became a paid service since the ps3, but it’s nice to finally have some validation. Only took 20 years but…
E: and we can’t forget the rootkit fiasco either
stares lovingly at my PC
Same!
And yeah, getting 2 free games for compromising all user data, months before they launch PSN plus with rotating free games… Felt odd…
There were 2 games compromising user data on the ps3? Which ones were those?
No, users were offered 2 (I think?) free games as compensation for the PS3 data breach.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_PlayStation_Network_outage
On May 16, 2011, Sony announced that two PlayStation 3 games and two PSP games would be offered for free from lists of five and four,† respectively.[75][76] The games available varied by region[75][76] and were only available in countries which had access to the PlayStation Store prior to the outage.[76]
You had to pay to play online on Xbox a decade before that. It was free on PlayStation. When they changed it I just stopped playing online.
Yeah, I had an Xbox for one game (Midtown Madness 3), and played through the trial for live, but never subscribed. I’m not sure if I paid for a month of psn+ during the gta5 launch, but if I did that would have been the only time I’ve put money to play multi-player. Didn’t take the bait for Games for Windows Live garbage either. It would take until the pc release of Halo 3/ODST/Reach/4 for me to play them, even though I badly wanted to play in their prime. Principles and all that. And I was pissed that MS shelved their windows gaming division to milk the Xbox.
They enshittified long before the PS5 came out. I think it’s been about two decades since the music CD rootkit scandal, for instance.
Bit late to the party. They got caught infecting their customers’ machines with rootkits back in 2005.
I still cannot believe that no one went to jail over that.
I mean I can, corporations are only people when it results in a positive outcome for them, but still. A fucking rootkit.
I still can’t believe NO ONE AT ALL GAVE A SHIT
Very boomer/wife bad/facebook meme. Surprised to see it here.
There are some pretty serious boomers on this site lol, just fewer than elsewhere.
Wife bad huh huh huh funny
To me this reads as “look how dysfunctional we are! I don’t know how to communicate! Lol!”
i heard “WAAAA BOUNDARIES!”
Why bad? Both husband and wife have something to laugh about. This is one of them and it happens subconsciously. It is worse, when you can’t acknowledge it and take offense at such “life situations”
plot twist wife is pc master race
That’s a frown that says: “Fucking console peasant, go cry about getting no physical media”.
The straights are not okay
played videogames for years without a problem, had a PS4 for a year and I swear that little beep gets mapped as a pavlovian reaction for being pissed the fuck off. Started more fights than being hungry.
Can you turn that off on a PS4? I know you can on a PS5
Not on PS4, but PS5 is much louder. They programmed the PS5 so that the startup sounds and music must be played through the TV, even if headphones are plugged in and settings are set to push all audio throigh headphones
that beep is a horrible sound too, sounds like a microwave. like they couldnt program something better than a basic beep?
I’ve heard the exact same beep from AC units.
Should have asked what she wanted to do instead
“Whatever you want to do.”
“I have a headache.”
“I’m fine!”
Try having more money and those excuses vanish
Just buy another wife?
Wtf
So you’re saying that … a woman’s partner having more money … makes them… decisive?
Like, inherently?
… or because women only want to do things that cost a significant amount of money, and give noncommital answers when such money is not present?
I am genuienly trying to follow the logic here.
I respect that you’re the only person to actually dig deeper into my remark. I think it’s both and neither of those at the same time.
Love and appreciation cannot coexist with squalor, misery and poverty that is present in today’s common marital home. A wife (or husband) would be more receptive if we all didn’t had to work vast amounts of overtime to live in our tiny houses.
I broadly agree with that, but phrasing it as you originally did… leaves open the potential of many interpretations, and is thus… well in this context, inherently inflammatory.
Such as the interpretation of basically ‘all women want only money or expensive things/experiences’.
I would say that love can exist amidst squalor, but certainly the poverty makes it much, much more rare and difficult achieve or maintain.
I’m not going to tell you gold diggers do not exist, or that many women are not broadly financially illiterate, irresponsible, or that many women are not vain.
But many of them are none of those things, many men are.
Qualified statements are probably a better plan with uh, high conflict topics.
It has nothing to do with money. This is something people will struggle with sans agriculture and in a perfect gift economy utopia.
Only boring people are bored (and depression is not boredom).
Yeah, that’s totally how it works.
It is in a healthy relationship.
No. In a healthy relationship you understand when the other one needs their me time and support them with it. That includes video games.
That another way that healthy relationships can work, yes. But yours is not the only way.
She wants you to know what she wants so she doesn’t have to do the work figuring it out, because she wants to be a child again.
My wife hates that she “always has to pick the restaurant,” when we go out. I cant make her realize she shot down my first 3 suggestions before asking what she wanted. Yes you pick because everything i suggest you dont want tonight and ill eat everything.
I listened to the “I don’t care just get whatever” response once. So, I did. It uh, didn’t well as I knew it wouldn’t. I wasn’t being a dick about it either, just got what I know she’d want from a restaurant we frequent… She wasn’t happy about it because I didn’t read her mind and know that she didn’t want that kind of food at that moment… Sometimes there’s no winning.
She can’t figure out what she wants and wants you to solve it, exactly. She has to pick because she wants to want the answers you give but she doesn’t. What’s it like for you to have to go through this repeatedly, does she know or care?
Ive gotten over itnas best i can. The worst is when i cook something, and she decides thats not what she wants, so she cooks something else for herself.
But she also gets upset that she does most of the cooking. Like yeah no shit. I dont need praise from you for everything i do, but less negative reinforcement would go a long way.
Therapy is helping though. I can hear it in the way she talks to our kids about life and how to treat others. So the realization is coming through
Rooting for you too
Sounds like the world isn’t meeting her needs and she’s bitter she has to meet her own. Sounds rough man, I feel for ya. So many men deal with wives and girlfriends like this.
Yall live with a high level of privilege and entitlement.
If that’s all you have to complain about.
Relative to what? Why does men sharing difficulties mean those are the only ones? You sound like a wife trying to gaslight her husband about how good he actually has it while she abuses him…
More patient than me. I just got the divorce and now my ex and I are both happier.
Man I remember telling her one day when she came downstairs and I was feeding our newly diabetic son pancakes with syrup for breakfast and hearing “what are you doing? His blood sugar will go high?”. I stopped told her we would give him more insulin and then gave up and told here it was why I asked for a divorce. At no point was there a good morning. It was right into what I was doing and how it was wrong. God forbid we parent different.
Long story short I’ve put a lot of work in with the kids and they have every other week with me and I am doing my best to correct the issues created from our 10 years of marriage. Is she aware? I don’t think so. Even when she has the kids they still come to my house and I still have them for sleepovers. They don’t do the same with her.
In a way I feel sad for her.
No shit they don’t do the same with her. You give them freedoms she doesn’t and she has to be the parent. Any kid will go to the less responsible parent for being more “fun”.
The example you gave, we will presume it’s the worst of your complaints, And it’s such a non complaint it seems ridiculous you’d use it as an example. You gave your diabetic child pure sugar and you’re blaming your ex for giving a shit about that?! You can’t be real. You can’t seriously think doing shit like that then expecting a constant smiling happy wife to come thank you for doing it! Go get yourself a trad wife who doesn’t work if you want to weirdly abuse your kids or grow the fuck up before you trick another woman into dealing with a man baby.
Oh sweet Jesus a few things.
- A child is allowed to enjoy waffles and syrup once in a while.
- I have more rules in my house than she does in hers
- You’re completely talking out of your ass making assumptions off of a single Lemmy comment.
Jesus Christ talk about taking a comment from 0 to 100. Do you feel better driving the car off the edge of reason?
You’ll just give him more insulin? There’s a lesson that could shave decades of his lifespan.
Um you realize a T1D can’t produce insulin right?
Maybe they should have expanded on their ‘nah’ then
Sleep
Happy wife, happy life.
ok boomer
I wish donald duck was my wife so bad
Feathers so soft…
The real shitpost is always in the comments
The amount of people taking this meme seriously is mind boggling. Literal Reddit behavior.
Oh no you didn’t phrase your meme in the exact format my therapist told me to communicate, you are the asshole and deserve to be divorced.
lemmy users only like memes that make them feel superior to other people.
this one fails on that account, so it must be shamed.
Listen up liberals my wife left me
Is this terriblefacebookmemes. We get it boomer you hate yer wife haha
Boomer ass meme.
Brother you can’t start with sex and expect to get good results, she’s not your right hand.
Different relationships have different standards, and some are fine with being blunt all the time.
Sexy time? No thanks
Movie? No thanks
What do you want to do?
Sit on the porch with you, have a drink and talk, go for a walk, sleep, whatever.
Why not just ask? Or:
I’m gonna watch Hot Fuzz, do you want to?
OMG you are so hot I want you right now.
Not that it’s someone’s responsibility to know how to ask things, but I think it does help to you know, know your partner. Someone asking “sexy time?” wouldn’t make me want sex, and I might want to watch a movie if I know which one.
Even better - "I’m gonna play Genshin, unless you wanna watch a movie, is there anything you want to watch? "
Like, there are probably a thousand better ways to approach this. Maybe it’s in the delivery not the suggestions.
I’m gonna watch Hot Fuzz, do you want to?
(Racks shotgun) "You’re off the fkin CHAIN!"
“Cock it”
Wait wrong cornetto movie.
Guess I’m lucky, my gf and I look at each other and just ask “wanna touch?” And 9/10 times touchy time commences. Literally zero bullshit nuance or mind reading. We have great communication and neither of us dance around what we want. Best relationship I’ve had.
We love sex and do it everyday, and generally do compromise up (if either of us want to we do) but I so love me some nuance, too. Often, approach does matter and it’s nice. “wanna fuck” because I am bored is less likely to land than if I approach my husband physically, I know this. He knows me too, and how to get me started.
Again - I don’t think it’s necessarily a requirement, just good to know how to ask, and to be aware of how your partner is feeling at the moment. Likely better results if you care to.
