7 Dilemmas Only Married Gamers Will Understand

[@joeldfisher]

nice of Rob to finally admit that Dave is his work husband

[@lyledal]

I'd never shipped them before now. But seeing it on screen? It's perfect!

[@brettgretter4185]

Really just a matter of time

[@joeldfisher]

@@coyoteartist what do you mean? that's clearly Rob's actual mother

[@coyoteartist]

[@nairilee]

The return of Friday Features, with old running jokes AND Delsin, is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

[@ShaunCushley97]

I know how you feel. I missed these so much. They used to be one of the highlights of my week. I'm so glad they're back.

[@AllanIsumiTV]

We're back, baby!

[@darknesswave100]

It was okay when the other person was doing it but this is how the Friday features should be

[@colinspeirs]

Delsin is the Access we watch for. We thought it was the metal gear solid board but no, it is Delsin

[@mortaeus7274]

These videos were the breakout success for this channel in my opinion, it was a huge blow when they stopped making them. I stopped watching a lot of their videos back then. So glad to be back!

[@SplattyEggs]

One I expected to hear is the spouse talking over important cutscenes, ones that can’t be paused but you aren’t 100% sure. “If I press pause will the cutscene pause, or will it skip it?”

[@alexdavis-mann8513]

It's like a 6th sense, not a word for hours , soon as a cutscene or important dialog... blah blah blah

[@honah47]

One of the most relatable Friday Features to date. “Oh honey I’m tired. I’m going to bed early.” (Perfect) “okay good night!”

[@ShadowofPince]

Midway of that sentence I usually have turned on my PS5, controller in hand, scrolling through menus picking a game and going "Ok! I'll stay up for a while longer." Then about two hours later, the phone rings "When are you coming to bed?" 'I'll just need to get to a save point."(which are pretty much nonexistent in games these days, but that excuse gives a few extra minutes of gaming.)

[@ryanschroeder5200]

Yeah, I am lucky in that my wife crawls into bed pretty early so I normally have 2 to 3 hours of playtime at night.

[@darknesswave100]

My girlfriend and I have almost opposite sleep schedules cause of work so say if she goes to sleep at 10am I'm up doing stuff till 8pm or so before I go to sleep. So I can usually get 6 or so hours in before I do stuff around the house

[@bigfootwalker5399]

Divorced Gamers don't have these problems 🤣

[@madalindragan9569]

This is me right now. Stop for a smoke break and saw the video and here you are!

[@Jraice]

Married my husband who I met while playing Final Fantasy XI. We both still play games. We have our own ps5s, our own TVs, and the added benefit of setting up console sharing so we can access each other's game libraries. We have one PS extra subscription so we can share that too. 👍

[@Mechalindsay]

This is my exact situation! We can play online together, side by side. Or one of us can watch a show while the other one plays and also watches the show. Having dual full time incomes and no children makes me feel truly blessed 🥹

[@robertlipinski3598]

Number 7 is a genuine choice between extra two hours of sleep time or playing for a couple of hours at night. A choice you will regret in the morning and promise yourself not to repeat it anymore... until next evening comes.

[@TheClyde1993]

Every time😂

[@spencerrugg7704]

Yup, that one's for everyone.

[@AlextheSuperfly]

Always the same decision, always the same regret, always I learn nothing. 😅

[@tomboyraider1015]

I felt this.

[@vegaspowerlifting]

My wife surprised me and bought me a ps5 and when she came home I screamed in such excitement, can’t remember the last time I was that happy. I got injured on the job as a firefighter and now disabled and gaming is my sanctuary.

[@Adam_U]

Is your injury permanent?

[@vegaspowerlifting]

Yes, it made me disabled.

[@vegaspowerlifting]

The good thing, the only good thing, I’m now retired and can’t play games morning, noon and night.

[@thilobraun3440]

Wow, what a treat. With everything else, I wish you all the best.

[@stephaniesojovelazquez3324]

Sorry about what happened. I'm an EMT. I do envy you just a little bit. I wish I had more time to play. Happy gaming though! You've more than earned it.

[@emmatrigg9855]

My husband and I are both gamers, and one dilemma I find is trying to avoid spoilers when we're both playing the same game but at different times or one is getting further than the other. We also have two children, our eldest who seems to have been born a gamer and never stopped lol, so we're basically a gaming family. I personally would never have got with a non-gamer because gaming has been a love of mine since I was about 4 and it's amazing to share the hobby and talk about it together. If we go on holiday, we always take a portable with us such as the Switch or Steam Deck so we can play occasionally.

[@mid_life_crisis13]

God forbid I interrupt her watching an episode of General Hospital from 1987. But, just when an incredibly emotional cut scene comes on like the one with Arthur Morgan, sitting at the train station, talking to the nun, she HAS to know at THAT very moment if I can take the trash out

[@mallagallabumbum8209]

That does not seem like a healthy relationship. 😅

[@Mohawk_Productions]

Sure after the cut scene. I don’t interrupt your time so don’t interrupt mine

[@maguszeal5818]

I've had this very conversation. But me and my wife are exceptionally understanding of each other.@@Mohawk_Productions

[@mommalion7028]

That’s rough! There’s downsides to marrying a gamer woman though. I am not as tidy or well dressed as soap opera women. I know every guy wants the magical unicorn cosplay girl who is a gamer and perfectly versed in feminine wiles but they are rare. There simply aren’t enough of them to go around. 😅

[@steventhompson4840]

Nothing lasts forever, I know, but having regular Friday Features back is a glorious thing.

[@krishnaattili6015]

After a particular age trying to enjoy gaming even for an hour(if you’re lucky) feels just divine

[@RyuujinLetum]

Lol yep with a 2 and a half year old & 3 month old. So for me @ night so all 3 are a sleep

[@gmanz5]

Or sketchy…..what did you forget to do?

[@Nudgeworth]

Without even watching the video yet, I know I'm going to laugh and cry 😭

[@lornemacarthur4304]

The trick is not having kids 🤪😎

[@Emerl18]

It has nothing to do with age. It's two particular decisions, and you know exactly what they are, that determines how much free time you have. And those are two decisions I made my choices on almost two decades ago. I'm 32.

[@masterrk7298]

Omg, how i misswd the old friday feature videos, and now its like a reunion, with the jokes and the stageplay, its amazing

[@Moori2163]

I married a gamer, we solved the problem by having two PS5's linked to two TV's in the front room. And her dad is a massive gamer too so when the in-laws come over we play something together or he watches / gives tips or watch KZbin playthroughs. It does get tricky when you both want to play the same game but you can't get to it but your wife can so you have to avoid the front room for fear of spoilers.

[@nix2939]

[@sebastianalhares]

That’s kinda pay to win.

[@madalice5134]

[@KatyWhitekavkj]

My husband and I did this! Monster Hunter World didn’t have a couch co-op mode so we had two consoles and 2 tvs and listened to our games with headphones ^_^. These days we usually pc game together though - there just aren’t enough couch co-op games out there as we’d prefer to play on one screen together if we could on the console anyway …

[@persephonekore7738]

Same :) it also works when the kids wanna coop games 😂 we set it up in such a way you can’t see each others tv

[@gregorybrandenburger9457]

I generally have the instance where I get the go ahead to play a game and as soon as I sit down and turn the console on, "Can you come here?" or "I need help with something."

[@thilobraun3440]

Don’t we all know just that…..

[@gregorybrandenburger9457]

This is a great modern list with all the nostalgia of the classic Friday Features. Delsyn rodent, Rob's mum and just classic gags, expertly written and presented. Bravo Rob and team!

[@ubersky7029]

This one is a classic. “Games, ALL THE TIME - ME ME ME ME ME” I feel seen.

[@connorking3980]

"You can call me dad if you like" made me spit my drink everywhere.

[@44Quantum]

Reminds me of Hazbin hotel.

[@pepergirl001]

Although I think this one is more universal: Ask if they need anything, get told 'no', sit down to play, instantly get called to 'come here a moment' or 'I need help with something' every single time without fail

[@joeri2499]

I saw your 107 hours in Final Fantasy 7, so apparently you still found the time

[@theotherandrewowens]

I recently got engaged myself, and these all speak to me! Nice to see the Friday Features back again!

[@princessthyemis]

Congratulations! 🎉

[@sirprintalot]

I've been single for a year or so now after being in an out of relationships for a decade, and I can honestly say I've never done so much gaming since I was a teenager.

[@goose7926]

Love this! Dave feeding Delsin, the return of Rob’s mum “Robert!” and relating to the last one lol

[@WillBrooksPSX]

I’m loving this Friday Feature renaissance. I watch everything Access put out, but these are the videos that made me a subscriber all those years ago. Rob is doing an amazing job. Keep up the fantastic work. 🎉

[@Rimopuchi]

lovely to see your Mum is alive and well Robert. one thing you missed is the request to "pause the game" when you cant...... like in Diablo 4 when you are in the middle of a boss battle

[@Ryan_Hogan]

The occasional bit of game rage? Occasional? Classic Rob.

[@jmacosta]

That intro was a rollercoaster of emotions, that culminated in euphoria with the "Hello, you've caught me..." Can't believe this is back! That non-gamer dude trying to marry Rob's daughter is going to have a literal hell of a time.

[@YARDIECRAY_GAMER]

"You can call me dad if you like"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😮

[@44Quantum]

Alastor moment.

[@joeri2499]

I'm just glad he didn't say "daddy"

[@jmorgmate]

Absolutely sent me

[@stampsu]

Married and a dad of a 10 month old baby here: I can game pretty much exclusively during evenings while sacrificing sleep or during nap times, online gaming is no-go since I need to be able to pause at any given time and there might be days or weeks without any game time at all. Still I'm pretty happy I can still play games even though my life has massively changed over the years

[@deathbykonami5487]

At least you and Rob get it, when you have children to take care of, you can't spend your time frivolously. You'd be surprised how many people consider being married with children (cue the iconic theme tune) a life prison sentence with no chance of parole.

[@stampsu]

@@deathbykonami5487 I'd say it's not that bad. Sure you'll have less time to play but there are still some moments for it and you also appreciate those moments a lot more. And when your kids get older they become perfect gaming buddies

[@finlayshuttler7412]

Life got busy and I drifted away from PlayStation Access over the past couple of years, but recently with the style of videos and the Friday features I find myself eagerly awaiting every upload.

[@CJBooks4]

"Video games all day me me me me me" That is such a relatable mood honestly Rob😅😂

[@RecurringRob]

You cannot imagine how joyful it was to hear “ROBERT?!” again after so long 😂❤️

[@nothanks6549]

My favorite married gaming thing is when my wife asks questions with super vague descriptions "what's that game called you played with the guy and the guns?" or sometimes it's so specific you forgot about the one part she saw you play. "What's that game where there's a space shuttle with monsters?" (After asking several questions I realized she meant Prey 2017.)

[@Anime-Doom]

Leblanc's law truly never fails, THAT minigame is emblematic of every randomly erotic non sequitur in gaming.

[@MrLouieLizard]

Absolutely had me (and my wife who could hear this video from the other room) howling 😂 1 to add to the list is how blimmin' long it takes to get through a game like HFW. Took me about 5 months to get through 84 hours! And I tried really hard to play whenever I could! I was recently sick off work and when I realised it meant I could play games all day, I pretty much jumped for joy!

[@saterdei]

Having Rob as my father-in-law and watching old Friday features together is my new goal in life! As for my hardships with a significant other: they always say how they want to play video games with me and how they beat Halo when they were six years old, but now they're clearly not interested in ANY game genre and can't move a 3D model up a ladder.

Thank goodness for two tellies! I game on the one upstairs in the bedroom, leaving the rest of the fam to argue over the one in the living room :D My personal dilemma, though, is working out what's a 'reasonable' amount of time to play.

[@Becka_Harper]

I have literally stayed at home and gamed for a solid week rather than go on holiday. And I mean solid, no tv, no movies, just me and first playthrough of Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen on PS4; and my wife supported me in that decision. She didn’t want to listen to me moan about lousy internet service, it being too hot/bright/early for a week, and I didn’t want to go. She also was fine with me turning 30 square meter shed into a bespoke gaming space, complete with log burner, wood panel walls, and a truly RIDICULOUS sound system. Folks get yourself a missus like mine and the gaming worlds can be yours.

Even though she wasn’t used to playing games I enjoy, she’s always approached them with a “If you like it, I’m sure I will” attitude. She’s recently finished Red Red Redemption 2 and since she has developed an obssesion with the game, leading to oh so so many amazing fanarts of Arthur and Dutch she’s made, hillarious tiktoks of the game we’ve spent hours laughing at together, amazing references she’s made. The other she’s texted me after visiting a friend, “the hang was great!” was the intended text, which autocorrect changed to “the gang” Which then she corrected and immideatly followed up with “I was never in Blackwater, I just have an unfortunate face!” And I have spent that entire day in tears of joy I am so so sorry for rambling here but, Rob, THANK YOU, for making me have this moment of reflection on just how lucky I am.
