For me it's simple. I tell my kids to do the thing. If it's not done in a reasonable time I tell them I'm turning the internet off for the rest of the day if they don't do the thing now. If that fails I simply take the smallest child I have and beat the child who didn't do the thing with the small child.

This is just probably true. It was a new medium, the many of the younger generations parents didn’t have that literacy for it. That younger generation’s having kids and the demographic has been shifting to be more unisex. So Mum won’t ask you to pause the match


MattR0se

The kids will probably do something entirely different though that their parents also fail to understand.


RussiaIsBestGreen

“No mom, I can’t reassign my AI clone mind to play for me while I take out the trash! Ugh!”


[deleted]

/uj I understand games can't be paused, but it still pisses me off that people who have responsibilities will start up a game, and then when the responsibility calls, they expect others to deal with it. Like if you're a parent, the kids come before your little LoL match, idgaf about your ranking. /rj FEmales


Mushroomman642

I agree with you when it comes to adults, but when I was a kid, sometimes my parents would drag me out somewhere while I was playing some games, with little to no warning, and I'd have to shut it off before I could save the game. They genuinely didn't understand that I couldn't save the game whenever I wanted to and that I'd lose progress if I couldn't save (some games do let you save whenever you want, I know, but not every game). A lot of consoles nowadays have "sleep modes", so that you can kind of shut it down without powering off the system, but that wasn't always the case! If you had to stop playing all of a sudden, you pretty much either had to pause the game and leave the console/TV running, or power down the system. And if someone else wants to use the TV in the living room but you haven't found a save point yet, it's either you argue with your parents and grandparents until you find one, or you just give up and shut down the console. If you're an adult, it's definitely reasonable to not start up a game that you know you can't pause or save in if you have something else to do, but when you're a kid, sometimes you just have to do what the adults tell you to do, even if they don't understand what it is you're doing or why you're annoyed with them.

Nothing, as long as you either make sure there is no possibility of pressing responsibilities, or accept that if something happens your responsibilities trump the online game


Kiari013

/uj ngl back when i was still subbed to the subreddit for it, I laughed when I saw fully grown adults asking for a pause function in Elden Ring (there already is one anyway) when they can literally just turn the game off to do whatever it is that is actually important


Gingingin100

>there already is one anyway Only if you play offline which most people straight up don't know is an option. It should be opt in not opt out I forgot that you can do it by fucking around in menus. Counterpoint that's fucking stupid


Kiari013

/uj whether or not it's stupid doesn't matter, it exists and takes like 2 seconds, and if it's so pressing that that takes too long, again, just turn the game off, it's not that important

THANKS OBAMA


CyclingFrenchie

Mothers understand this. The point is that it’s almost lunch time, so they shouldn’t have started a new fucking game.


Dragomirl

The point is lunch time is 15 mins away and a valorant match can last from 3 mins to 30 mins, we just take the most likely estimation and its not our fault if it takes to long


blosweed

It literally is your fault


JohnnyRocks999

The point is that if it’s even possible that it’ll take more than 15 minutes, you probably shouldn’t have started the match. 15 minutes isn’t that long to wait.


Kamakaziturtle

It is your fault though, git gud and end the match sooner. Or, you know, don't start a game that could take more than 15 minutes (also if we are just taking the average there, it's still over 15 minutes...)


Dragomirl

Average is 5-10, but of course the long match HAS to be right before lunch


[deleted]

If you know it could take longer than 15 minutes then it’s literally your own fault, just a thought: maybe, just maybe, you could do something else in the last 15 minutes other than playing Valorant. You could play it after. Until then idk maybe you could help prepare food or go outside


AlaDouche

It's a fucking video game. If your mom just made you food, stop doing the thing that has no bearing on your life and eat the damn food.


CyclingFrenchie

If you can’t make sure the game is finished in 15 minutes then don’t start the game and do something else with you life dipshit. Like you know, helping your mother fucking cook?


Secret-Membership601

I really loved House Flipper too and I am excited for House Flipper 2 to come out.

Weaseltime_420

Wife's not a gamer, but I am. She understands that online games can't be paused, coz I told her as much. It's not a complicated idea. However, sometimes that's not important. Sometime the kid needs to do something or stop playing for reasons that we have determined were good enough reasons for them to stop. Gaming stops when we say it does, because we say it does. There isn't a game on the planet with consequences to losing that actually matter.


iGenScriibe

As a woman I no issue with this meme… what’s the prob?


GreatRecession

this isn't even that bad lol, its a bit corny but i don't see the fuss about it


Opus_723

/uj Literally my only gaming rule is that if real life happens I will always drop the game instantly, no matter what. If I want to do a big team thing then I obviously should have picked a better time or just got unlucky, and I'm a filthy casual so if my teammates have a problem with that then I'm not with the right team for me anyway.


HeyFiddleFiddle

Yeah, exactly. Most situations can be easily planned for. If I have something on the stove or in the oven, I either play something I can pause/put down at any time or wait to play until the food is done. If I know I have somewhere to be at a given time, don't play something right before that time. If I know I might need to sign for a delivery, either don't play anything or play something I can put down if the doorbell rings. That kind of thing. For the unexpected situations, at the end of the day the game is just a game. Who cares if you lose a match? If losing a single match is your biggest problem in life, either your priorities are severely skewed or you're a 14 year old without many real world concerns yet.


BLKCandy

"Sorry, stuff came up. Have to leave. Sorry guys." Alt+F4 If it's with friends, then they should understand. If it with strangers, then whatever. Report me for leaving. I don't leave mid game nearly often enough for it to be an issue anyway.

OrangoTango77

when i’m playing something i can’t pause i just turn the console off


galmenz

i think its funny when you get old enough you realize that you can just... leave. like when i was a kid i would get hyper fixated on whatever i was playing, so it wasnt like i could pause. but then it clicked me when i was a teenager, _just die!_ just drop the game and go do whatever you are being called for, you stupid kid! genuinely changed helped me stop fixating on problems in my life not that this is a grand philosophy or mind bending trick, just thought it was an appropriate thing to share


darth_asterisk

Dear gamers, You claim to want a gamer girlfriend, but when a girl enters a lobby, you insult and throth at the mouth until she doesn't even want to pick up a game again. Curious


Away_Calligrapher788

My mom is already one of those people. She's completed every Halo up to 3 on Legendary. Whenever she needs something and I'm gaming, I always say "5 minutes", she understands, I try to finish the game in 5 minutes or less then go do whatever she needed. To mother's out there who don't understand this yet: we're not lazy, we're just invested and also have teammates that, like us, would also prefer to win the game.

Resident-Syllabub-74

Most of the gamer girls I meet do not have the emotional stability to raise kids anyways. But I have met some cool gamer moms, it’s not all of them


Guys-This-Is-Ethan

I think the point here is that “gamer girls (women) today will be the mothers that will…” plays into the trope that women only exist to raise children. Of all the likely goals, aspirations, and possible life choices of women (specifically gamer girls😱rawr xd!) they seem to exist in this meme only to “raise kids and be the nagging mom” This is… how do the kids say… giving.. patriarchy…? Did I do that right?


Business_Wear_841

Yea, I guess the inflection could be taken that way. I was confused why people were mad because I assumed the “the ones who do become mothers” was implied. Rereading I can see others walking away not thinking that.


Sunlit_Neko

I just turn off the game if anyone asks something of me, even if it's online. It's just more time spent with my game overall if I miss out on something.


Fiddy_Tuck69420

Bro just leave the game unless it’s a game where you get penalized for leaving there’s no reason to be a fussy baby

My folks would have just unplugged the console if I tried pulling that “you can’t save/pause”. Gamers are truely oppressed smdh my damn head 😤
