Someone: Oh, he's a brat?

*Written By Andrew*

Its no surprise me and Mina are massive nerds when it comes to video games. We like our own types of games but our favourites are the ones we play together (Dead By Daylight, Counter-Strike: GO and Team Fortress 2 to name a few) Though I don’t want to brag when I say this but I would say I am better than her at these games. Although she can hit her shots better as Sniper on TF2, I can get more kills and play the objective with a more aggressive and skilful mindset. But its always sweet to have your girlfriend watching your back. Same goes for Dead By Daylight, although she isn’t as skilled as me, it's always nice to know she has my back when I’m in a spot of bother. 

At times, I worry about when I express my skill and knowledge of these games, I suck the fun out of it for her. She plays these games more casually than I do and telling her all about how to win at these games with the most effective loadouts makes me worry that she’ll lose interest in these games and not play them anymore because of being exposed to all these high competitive loadouts instead of playing it how she used to play it. But in other situations, I notice her struggling to try to keep up and get good at the game, and I wouldn’t be doing my job as a boyfriend if I didn’t help her out. 

The reason I bring this up is that of a VERY long text I sent her of an effective Dead By Daylight Blood Point farming build that I use when levelling up my killers. I went into so much detail that upon reading it back, I was even blown away myself. I know so much about the game that the skill range is very wide when comparing us. I knew the perks inside and out, I knew which killers this build this would be effective on and I knew how much BP she would be getting from using this build. But I can guarantee that she would just do her own thing. And that's fine by me. Cause I often remember my innocent times of playing Dead By Daylight. 

In conclusion, I value our time when we play games. There are times where I lose my patience with the game, but I know not to take it out on her. It would be flat out wrong to do so anyway. If she’s on Steam and I need a player 2, she’s my first call. (Mostly because she’s the only person who still actively plays the game) She’s sweet, awesome and always a blast to play games with.
