Wholesome hexbear wife guy

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

“Wife guy” is one of the few phrases with the word “guy” in it that works for me lol

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lol yeah I thought about that after the comment but there's really no other way to phrase it. Also growing up in California where my sister and I just use guy/dude in an ungendered manner but I respect people not liking that.

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

Yeah I’m fine with that. My dialect is the same way. And it’s kind of hard to beat the wife guy allegations given the nature of this thread

If you love your wife so much why don't you marry her hyuck hyuck

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

No you have a point

How many hours straight do you plan on playing video games while she’s gone?

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I haven’t been able to get into a video game in a while. Any recommendations?

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Baldur's Gate 3 is great if you like narrative driven RPGs and turn based combat.

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I play DnD so maybe that’s a good option for me

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you’re into DnD you’ll definitely enjoy it. It’s definitely very much intended to be a crpg DnD.

Be warned: my completionist ass did a nearly 300 hour playthrough.

I think you could “blitz” through the game in like 70 hours if you don’t do every side quest.

Don’t ask me, I’m always late to games. Red Dead Redemption 2 is great. I’m interested in checking out the new Spider-Man and Star Wars game but afraid of getting hooked obsessive again. Maybe this upcoming winter unless we’re Mad Maxin’ it by then

Very few of these comments are questions, smh.

Would you rather have the lower half of your body become a slug tail or your arms turn into praying mantis claws? You maybe ask me 3 follow up questions before making your decision, if you'd like.

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Slug tail 100%. I’m an abomination either way, but all of my hobbies involve fine motor skills in my hands. None of them involve feet. Easy

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You should have asked more questions. The slug tail goes up to your waist and is constantly oozing a slick slime trail. Drying out too much could easily be fatal. But you have unlocked another question with your direct response.

Would you rather have the ability to turn invisible when you need to poop or have a magic raven companion that never leaves your shoulder, but will tell your the thoughts of your enemies when asked? You have 3 follow up questions still.

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

I still refuse all follow up questions. The poop one. It would stop my skin picking on the toilet because I wouldn’t be able to see. The raven sounds rad but I would want it to leave my shoulder when I was having sex and also at funerals (many enemies at funerals but it’s rude to know their thoughts there and I’d be too tempted)

nuh uh my wife is the cutest

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe we’re married to the same wife? I don’t claim to know these things

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

oh snap did we just polycule

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

I believe we did

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If there's anything your wife doesn't care for, but still respect, lean into it now. In my case it was making kimchi in a shoebox apartment.

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Good call. I’m making tuna noodle casserole tomorrow

Text her non-stop with "hi, hello, hey, hi, how are you?"

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Way ahead of you on this one

My wife left town for the weekend too

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Took my scooter to a local “Irish” spot. It’s honestly just kinda boring. Read a little bit of Governance Of China between Guinnesses

Have you tried getting drunk really really fast and then just doing borat impressions until she gets home?

what's your wife's favorite breed of dog?

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She likes tiny dogs whose eyes go opposite directions

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago

That's called a snail
