In this episode, I’m trying something a little different.

Since I don’t have listener submissions just yet, I went through some Reddit stories about gamers and non-gamers in relationships and picked a couple to talk about.

I share my thoughts on the situations, what might be going wrong, and the kind of advice I’d give. If you’ve ever felt like gaming was causing tension in a relationship (on either side), this one’s for you.

At first, we thought this episode would be a rant against people who do not respect the passion of gaming. But it turned out to be a cry from the hearth to all of you that are unjustifiably affected by those people. Listen to our personal insights about how it could be possible for you and your close ones to overcome this issue.
