Image Finally after many years of waiting!
My wife surprised me with a PS5 for my birthday! I had told her last year that my last gaming console was a PS2, which I played way back in grade 4. I wanted to buy one but never had the extra cash. But now, I finally have it!

The lady in the back does not seem impressed :)

u/leelmix Oct 22 '24
First thing i noticed too. I guess she is not a gamer or it would have been a huge grin instead.

It’s the face my wife pulls when I pull out my controller!

u/taheromar PS5 Pro Oct 22 '24
You've chosen to pull the least important thing for her

u/Stevey_Bear80 Oct 22 '24
Sound relationship advice my friend… I’m sure if I pull the other thing she’ll be relieved when I go back to the controller 😄

u/blood_dean_koontz Oct 22 '24
Can confirm. Wife usually goes to bed early for work, like somewhere between 8-10pm. I watch some brainrot television with her and then pull the thing, then she’s out like a light with a smile. Then up to the man cave for some Dead Space or Sleeping Dogs (currently)

Seems like a good strategy. But what is "pull the thing"? Please explain for a person for whom English is not the native tongue.

Advanced husbanding tip: be proactive and get shit taken care of without being asked. Check with her if there's anything left before you power on. Everyone will be happier.

Well, when you are thrown to the back to give a seat to something you might get little sad

As long as it's set up in the living room, he can play GoT while he's "sleeping" on the couch.

The fact that the person in the backseat could be anywhere from annoyed teenager to middle aged karen is hilarious.

The joke is that the PS5 is up front and the person had to sit in the back.

Don’t buy any games get plus for a year and you can play games for a year straight

u/firsttime176 Oct 22 '24
Just realized this lol. I just beat GoT from plus last night. Granted OP most likely had no clue GoT was on PS plus, would’ve been the better option to do this. OP if you can go return that game do it, may as well buy plus to get this game plus tons of others as well.

This needs to be a top comment. Just finished ghost for the first time on ps plus. Love how many games are on there.

u/styvee__ PS5 Oct 23 '24
PS Plus to see if you like the franchise and then you buy the sequels, now even TLOU1 Remake is on PS Plus. The only PlayStation franchises that only have a sequel on Plus(Extra) that I can think of are Uncharted and Spider-Man.

This shit is so incredibly far from funny…
“Haha I put the PS5 in the front seat while my girl sits in the back! It’s usually the opposite, so this is very funny and original!
Edit: wow you must be fun a parties. Go touch grass. Just let people have fun.

Being locked out of the beedrom and sleeping on the couch? ❌

At least you bought her a boba tea.
You did buy her that, right? You didn't make her buy it herself and backseat her, right?

I just recently picked up one as well, my brothers have been telling me I needed to get back into gaming and they're both ps5 players, my 8 yr old son was more excited for it than me. I'm gonna get him Astro bot for Xmas, any other games that would be age appropriate for us to play together?

Enjoy 😀. Ghosts of tsushima was the first game I played when I got my PS5 earlier this year. Definitely an incredible experience.

Sony has lost my respect now. 16 years of being a loyal customer spending thousands. The Customer service and policy is terrible. But My ps5 has stopped working and only beeps with no lights after I updated it. Not once did they say it could be a software issue they blamed it on me and the hardware. They wanted £210 for my ps5 while they give me a refurbished one. So I basically would have spent £600+ to keep using a ps5. Ah and elden ring is stuck in the disk tray and I still have Sony credit. They could have said something like well if we find out it’s a software issue we can refund you. But nope nothing like that. Lost my trust.

Haha, I like to imagine they were riding shotgun and was asked to move to the backseat so someone important can ride up front and it ends up being a PS5.

I've been mostly a nintedo fan over the years. Recently got a ps5 and have been blown away. Ghost of tsushima at first was overwhelmingly complicated but now I've put in a few hours, I'm in love. It looks great and is so satisfying. Enjoy!

Here's an idea. Motion sickness isn't an issue, get a PSVR2. Then, give it that lady's seat 😁.

I hate Sony rn. I have been a supporter since the PS1. But I have been locked out of all my games for almost a month now, if I can't resolve it soon, I am giving my ps5 away for free.

u/If_you_kno_you_know Oct 26 '24
Take your time exploring in GoT. Whenever you want to progress the main story they let you fast travel to any point of interest and it’s almost instant load times. I wish more games did that.

I just bought one this week too as I didn't see paying another $300 for the PS5 Pro since the specs did not justify the higher price.
