Oh. My. Gods. You gaiz. I got this in the mail yesterday as a Christmas gift from my partner's mother. I intend to wear it as much as possible.

Does anyone wish their S/o shared in the hobby of playing games? Heard the guest on the giantbombcast this week and just realized I never really met any girls that I know that really like games. It's just kind of a weird bummer my current girlfriend isn't into games at all. Just wanted to ask
Nah, I'm happy with the way things are. He'll sometimes watch me play something and get confused as hell, though. I was playing Atelier Escha a while ago and he was on his iPad and glanced at the screen from time to time. He'd ask things like, "How do you read that so fast?" or "How did that little girl take down that dragon with just a book?" It was cute. Also, he grew up building houses so he'll help me design shelves, storage units and/or containers for my goods.
My last ex was a huge gamer and collector.
Oh wow, that hoodie is so cool!
My boyfriend is a gamer, but a PC one, while I'm definitely a console person. We do play some games together from time to time, but I sometimes wish it was more often. I'd settle for him watching me play, but he often finds that boring, unfortunately
Nonetheless, he's also very proficient in handiwork, and I definitely enjoy when he helps me with/makes me things. Having different hobbies means I can discover a ton more things that I would have otherwise, so I'm glad we're not 100% the same
My ex was a collector as well (he actually got me into collecting) and it was fun to game together, but our hobbies were way too similar and it kinda became boring.
I have a question for you guys:
In my new house, my game room is out in the garage. It's winter now and it's getting pretty cold, but it is dry out there. It's not freezing, though, I'd say it gets down to the 40s and 50s Fahrenheit. Once in a while into the late 30s. (I have a space heater for when I'm actually out there, so I'm okay, just worried about the consoles when I'm not in there.)
Do you think that my consoles and games will be okay out there? So far, it hasn't been a problem.
Cold air has a tendency to make water in the air condensate and stick to electronics. If you don't play the systems while they're cold it's fine because the water will evaporate again, but if you play while the systems are cold you might run into problems later (short circuits and the like). I don't have further details, but I do know that using cold electronics can be bad for them.
