00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: My boyfriend won't stop playing RuneScape. He says he needs

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: to work hard to become a level ninety nine made.

Speaker 1: was like yeah, okay, when I was out here, you know,

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: doing some some naughty business, one that I was obsessed

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: with was RuneScape. Yeah, back in the day. I think

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: I have told this story before. But I was obsessed

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: and played incessantly, and I was trying to become like

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: a major GET like level of ninety nine, get like

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: the best of the best, armor and shit. And then

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: it went into the forest, soone battled me. I lost

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: all my crap and then I cried. But I have

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: a story about a guy that was obsessed with a

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: video game. That video game being RuneScape. Oh my, why

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: help you in our relationship when I can upgrade my armor? Hello, dude, honestly, facts,

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: what have you ever done for me in this relationship?

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: Armor protects me? You have only made me sad. So

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: for some contexts, my boyfriend and I are long distance.

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: I am a female twenty two, he's a male twenty one.

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm curious as to how everyone else would feel in

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: this situation and if I'm just overreacting and being selfish.

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: My boyfriend is really into RuneScape, like really into it.

37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: He loves it, And most of the leveling up in

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: the game is like an idle clicker game, so it

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: takes hours and hours of twenty four to seven grinding.

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, grinding that Rune Escape. When I

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: came to visit for the first time for the first

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: time she's coming to visit for the first time. He

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: was very adamant on still playing the game because it

44
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: wasn't a distraction. He just wanted to make most of

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: the time RuneScape and chill. Bro It was just mindless clicking,

46
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: so why should it bother me? It did, because he'd

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: be staring at the screen and ignoring me. Every couple

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: of minutes he needed to go back to a different

49
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: part of the map to complete another task. When I

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: spoke to him often, it was clear that he was

51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: too lost in the game. He even insisted he didn't

52
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: want to just cuddle because he could be doing rune

53
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: Escape and getting and leveling up instead. I'm just imagining

54
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: like he's got his arms around her, and he's like

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: just still clicking, just has his laptop to He's like

56
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: clicking away. He's like, I don't want to waste time.

57
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: I need to be runescaping. I voiced my hurt. He

58
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: didn't listen. We fought. When I got back, he realized

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: his mistake. He missed me and wish he could have

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: spent more time with me. He apologized. I went back

61
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: to visit a month later for a weekend. He had

62
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: been burnt out of Rune Escape and hadn't been playing anyways,

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: so there's no worry there. It was nice and we

64
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: were able to finally cuddle because man didn't want to

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: cuddle because he was playing freaking RuneScape last time. We

66
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: were supposed to see each other over the holidays, but

67
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: due to the pandemic worsening in our flight getting canceled,

68
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't safe for me to go over. If things

69
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: start looking up, we're planning on seeing each other during

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: his March break and a week after that. Were both students,

71
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: though my program as a hole being not compatible with

72
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: online learning. I brought up the game again because he's

73
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: really gotten back into it. I'm talking like nine hours

74
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: a day of grinding, he said. He put the game

75
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: away while I was there, except for at school, so

76
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: we'd have something to do during breaks instead of just

77
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: sitting on his hands. What do your school? Yeah? Score?

78
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: Like just stop to other people. H I come with

79
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: him to campus and while he's in class, I wait

80
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: for him. He has really long breaks, so I was

81
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: hoping we could split the time between him and the game,

82
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: maybe playing like a co op together or something, or

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: watching a show together. Oh god, that's so sad, Like,

84
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: maybe we could just play it together. Maybe we could

85
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: play the game together instead of you just clicking away

86
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: and ignoring me, I come over and fly to visit you. Seriously,

87
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't mind him doing ten minute farm runs and stuff,

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: but waiting on a campus I'm not familiar with for

89
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: six hours. I just want to be able to make

90
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: the most of all the time we have together. We

91
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: both miss each other a lot, and I just I

92
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: just want to make the most of the two weeks.

93
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: And he got upset and called me selfish. How how

94
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: dare she distract from his RuneScape time? How dare she?

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if I'm in the wrong and I'm

96
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: not seeing the light, how would you feel if you

97
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: were in my shoes or in his? I don't want

98
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: to impose on him. I think break up with him

99
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: opening he is they no just kidding, bro? What Wow?

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: That's just like and also like she's even she's like

101
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: doing way too much for him. Yeah, like that's so

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: much consideration. Yeah, I hope he does not deserve that

103
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: way too much of a leash, Like just be like, listen,

104
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: you can't build a relationship. Yeah, you want the pie,

105
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: get off, RuneScape and pay attention to me. Literally, Like, honestly, dude,

106
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,000

Speaker 1: he I'm facts, bro, facts, and you know, I just

108
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,880

109
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: the position of the guy. One of my ex girlfriends

110
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: came to visit me while I was in Australia because

111
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: I was there for six months, right, And while she

112
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: was there, I bought a duck and I totally ignored

113
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: her and just paid attention to that duck and raised

114
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: it while she was there, and like, after a couple

115
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: of days, she pulled me aside, Like, dude, I flew

116
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: twenty hours over here to visit you in Australia and

117
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: all you do is play with this duck pay attention

118
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: to me. And I'm like, nah, but this No, I

119
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: did raise that duck into adulthood, same as Jasper. It's great,

120
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,400
