Gaming is more than a hobby in the internet era.
Gaming has become a lifestyle. We both count ourselves lucky to find a partner that is passionate about gaming. We are actually PC gamers, we both own high-end computers with potential much greater than that of even the next gen consoles. A family that plays together stays together is a turn of phrase that has been around for ages. When it comes to our relationship we never forget that phrase. That is not to say we play everything together all the time, just like any healthy relationship we have different interests.
When we aren't playing together you can catch me playing Stardew Valley and you can find TheBiscuts (Spelled wrong for branding!) playing Counter-Strike:GO. I don't enjoy the super competitive environment of match making that is CS:GO so if I want to play Biscuts is always willing to change over to casual or co-op. I think that might be the real key piece of gaming as a couple, wanting to play together and being willing to play what your partner enjoys.
I know you are all wondering what Biscuts gets me to play for his choice...Dungeon Defenders 2!
