“How did the game help me and my boyfriend understand and bond?”

We often hear a lot of stories of getting to know each other, falling in love and then getting married through games. The couple in this story, although not familiar through the game, but thanks to the game, they found the harmony in their souls and understood each other better. Below is the female friend’s share in the story that Emergenceingame.Com has summarized and translated.

“There are things people call ‘Fate.’ When I first started dating my boyfriend in 2016, games weren’t my concern and I never expected it to have such a big impact on relationships. so much ours.

At that time, like many others, games to me were simply a waste of time and brought no benefits. I’m busy making money, getting promoted, I don’t have any mind to think about the game. By chance during a meeting with a client, he and I met. Just a few months after we started dating, we decided to move in together. Before that, I knew him as a player of the game Counter-Strike, he made money by participating in tournaments.

“One thing I want you to know is that I love playing games. But my priority is always you,” he called and told me. It sounds funny, but before we live together, we want each other to respect our preferences. I laughed at the fact, a few years ago, my job was as a reporter for a game newspaper.

Currently, my work is quite busy, I have to prepare for many events in the evening and often travel for work. Alone at home, he will play games on Xbox. It’s a sci-fi shooting game, the player will control the character to fly around, destroy enemies and collect items. I joked with him that I would never play crap like this but it’s true that life is unpredictable. “It’s fun, I think you’ll get addicted to it,” he said while creating me a character with his account. I also tried playing for about an hour but then forgot about it right away because work was too busy.

At the end of 2016, my boyfriend decided to buy an Xbox One S, his old Xbox he hooked it up to a monitor in our living room: “In case you ever want to play games with me again.” The long holiday at the end of the year has come, I have more free time. He asked me if I wanted to play Destiny with him, I agreed and didn’t expect that during that time, I spent 200 hours playing this game. After that, I continued to play other games like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Dead Rising 4 but Destiny is still our favorite.

We really had a good time together. I do fan-art for the game and for his birthday I drew a picture inspired by Destiny. Although it is not very beautiful, the painting still hangs solemnly in our living room now. After that, we wait for the day Destiny 2 released and together again immersed in the world of the game.

In 2017, we celebrated Christmas at his house and prepared a gift for him. I kept it a secret, intending to give him a surprise, but even more surprising than the gift he gave me was the same – a Destiny ghost model. Out of a million things, how magical it is when we both choose the same item to give to each other.

With the Forsaken expansion, where we had to witness the death of Cayde-6. I even fantasized about holding a fantasy funeral for my favorite character and he listened patiently. His support motivates me to go back to gaming as before. I play games and write articles all the time but still, Destiny is an attachment we don’t want to let go of.

Right now, we don’t spend as much time on Destiny 2 as we used to, but I will never forget how the game helped us understand and bond with each other. Without it, we could just be carried away by work and not care about each other. Destiny has helped us a lot and I know it’s not just us but many other couples who are also blessed with the game.

Destiny is “destiny” and we know that each other is each other’s “destiny.”

And you, have you found your destiny yet?
