When was this magical time where big companies didn’t make dog shit games (with exceptions)? We always remember the good ones not the 10000 single player shooters that were 6 hours long or the movie tie-in games we got because as kids we thought they must be as good as the movies.
Heck, I remember reading about Spiderman 2 seemingly being an open world game (in a time where that wasn’t widespread or you even called it that) where you complete tasks and swing around an open New York City, only to buy it and recognizing that what I was reading about was the PS2 version, not the PC version. The PC version was a soulless husk of a movie cash grab game. I can say that about dozens of games I played back when I was a kid.
Not every game we got was some timeless classic like Ocarina of Time.
Well, that seems unhealthy as hell as well. This is the whole stoic to a fault bullshit for both partners now. I’d say vent to your partner and let your partner vent to you about your shitty days. Why live your life together but not be able to share your burdens? Just my two cents though.
