[@Raijinslayer] I wish I could help. I had very restrictive parents throughout school who thought gaming was going to ruin my life because of the weird stigma around it. I never did manage to convince them that it was just a harmless hobby that shouldn't be undervalued as a 'waste of time' in their words. They've only stopped bugging me about it because I earn my own income and pay for my own studies now. As far as they're concerned, as long as I respect their house rules and pay for things myself they don't really care what I do anymore.

Plus I think I managed to push mum away from the stigma back in High School when I bought Persona 4 back in like 2012? I think. I could be wrong. At the start when I played it she was all like "Oh not another one of your silly games", but because the ps2 was in our family room and I loved that game so much I played it any chance I got, she was often in the room watching it. Like not even a quarter of the way through she's just as invested in the characters and story as I am. It was surprising. Turns out weaboo trash is genetic.

EDIT: If you thought you were happy about Persona 5, then you didn't see my mothers reaction.

I've never had that issue. My mother was a gamer. She was gaming for a long time. Gamed even when I was in her belly. I was taking when I could pick up a controller. Maybe a year or two old. Failing. But gaming. Good times. I was told I played sonic as a baby/toddler. Always tried to get the rings. And would get sooooo mad at that game, I'd throw the controller in my anger.

My dad also gamed a bit back then. When I was older, we cooped Dynasty Warriors. I'd mostly run around on a horse while he actually did it, but ya know xD

Good times.

Yay for Gamer family.
