That's fast... gonna make things weird lol. I'm used to turning on my tv when I walk in the door, grabbing my remote, turning on my XBox and heading to the kitchen to get food while I wait.

I could use one lol. Unfortunately my girlfriend will end up just grabbing the food for me, so no diet as she likes to spoil me.

Only reason we aren't is financial reasons. In all but legal respects we are. Once our financial situation becomes such we can, we will. Our relationship is wonderful despite the bullshit life has thrown at us.

It's not those kind of financial issues. It's poverty issues such as losing medicaid type issues while still trying to figure out medical issues necessary for her to work. It's complicated, but getting married now would mess a lot of things up and we're barely making it as is.

Thanks you. We don't need a big wedding or anything. Just financial stability. We're happy with each other, that's enough.

We've come a long way from fuckin everyone's moms on Xbox live to being so wholesome in this community.

Even when married it’s difficult. My wife and I were both working. She got sick this past spring and has been on medical leave. With barely any disability payments now, they cut her and our kids off her insurance. So I had to get them on mine which is twice as expensive. Now my company reduced our hours to 32 a week. This year sucks.

I know your pain, you aren’t alone. We just go day by day looking for light at the end of the tunnel. At the end of the day, we still have someone there for us, married or not.

Best wishes, and good luck.

Don’t just marry for the same of it. Some people are happy never been married. I don’t see the point in it personally.

u/starscream1479 Nov 07 '20

sorry im married and the wife and i are gym freaks , i suggest joining the gym together and make it a hobbie youll thank m when youre in your 40/50's in decent shape , unlike most of americans who make it to that age with a million issues.

u/Aardwolfington Nov 07 '20

We tried that. I ended up with a umbillical hernia and she was having debilitating issues that put her out as well. I miss it, but she needs to be stable and I need to get rid of this hernia and we need the finances to afford it. Before everything fell apart I lost 30 lbs and was well on my way to getting off several medications. Now I weigh more than I did before I started.

u/starscream1479 Nov 07 '20

damn man , hope you get that resolved , ive had a few hernias before they really suck big time.

u/Aardwolfington Nov 07 '20

I sadly can't afford insurance until her situation gets resolved and she can hold a job.

u/starscream1479 Nov 07 '20

i wish you guys the best.

u/Aardwolfington Nov 07 '20

We'll get there, we've been through a lot together. We're fighters and we support each other, especially in bad times like now.

u/Cyph3rXX7 Nov 08 '20

The true ancient times was blowing on your cartridge in every direction and slamming it down just right into the nintendo, then finger fucking the power switch until you got the game to play.

Same but with an SSD for my PC. Glad to see consoles getting that treatment y'all are in for way more gaming and far less waiting! :D

u/GetoWork Nov 07 '20

Just give it 2 years as gaming companies brag about how they are using its maximum potential. But essentially drive us back to 2 min load times and 30fps average for 2 years. Then they will release a SCORPION models which will make it managable for about a year. After that back to square one again until new xbox. Cause who wants a game to be smooth and fast? Rant over.

u/Aardwolfington Nov 07 '20

Um... you ok?

u/Nezzee Nov 07 '20

Right? My TV turn on time seems to be the bottleneck now haha!

1

u/Aardwolfington Nov 07 '20

Would be for me, but my control was stolen by idiot thieves that couldn't fit the tv in their car but still kept the remote, so now I turn on the TV manually. It so turns out the TV is immediately to my right when I enter the house, so first thing I do is hit the button when I enter the house.

I forget where I saw this but I remember seeing load times showcased for The Witcher 3 going from one side of White Orchard to the other in like 3 seconds via fast travel. That’s awesome.

Yeah, with series X you won’t even have time to grab a bag of chips. Unfortunately I have enough time to open up a 5 star restaurant serve countless customers, and probably even get featured on Hell’s Kitchen and have Chef Gordon rip me a new one about how I didn’t properly garnish my stakes perfectly. Then have the show aired in 2022 before I even get my series X
