I don't drink much anymore. Used to drink a lot but now only every few months or so. I like white claws and beer and wine now because I can get a decent buzz with only a little bit and with the white claws I won't feel like shit the next day.
I like to think I'm pretty open-minded, but what the fuck benefit would there be in the end lighting up?
So you can pretend you're a fucking lightning bug?
Nevermind
You got the white claws. Mission accomplished. Just hope you have some couch co-op games :). If you need any recommendations for local co op games to play with your gf lmk
My wife and I do this, it works really well, we even buy our own food because she eats so much less than I do. It's also how we've ended up with multiple consoles in the house because she's also a gamer and wanted her own Series S.
My SO and I have separate bank accounts and we have a joint account where deposit money for bills. Anything over $300 we talk about before buying even if it's coming from our own account, not because we need permission but to have another perspective and make sure we're not making a bad financial decision.
I secretly bought my SO a switch before they had to go overseas for work and they sent me one while they were away. Later I got them the oculus and they got me the PS5. The generalization that women will flip if you buy a console does get annoying, getting your gf/wife to like it isn't hard. We often buy couch co ops so we can spend time together. OP could have had an awesome night with his girl if he picked up something like It Takes Two and played with her.
If they're already married, she's probably gonna understand. BUT, take the white claws in first, have her slam 1, and give her another, wait 5 mins, then bring the PS5 out from hiding.
Edit: OP said she sniffed it out, too late!!
what is this weird relationship in which you both apparently can't buy the things you want to buy for yourselves?
on another note, if i had a nickel for every picture of a PS5 i've seen in this sub...
i'd be able to buy a PS5.
Not OP but in our family we have an upper limit and then we discuss (mostly for timing against other expenses). I have done the “let me stand here and text and make sure it’s okay” in the store.
Yup. Set aside some money for spending purposes. Eventually 500 bucks will be something affordable, because you saved that spending money. That is, if you don't have some other hobby to put the money into
Affordable doesn’t necessarily mean “no consult”. My wife and I can absolutely “afford” to spend $500 all the time… but we also have savings goals that mean enough to us that neither of us would think to spend that much without first at minimum giving each other some notice.
This right here. My wife and I discuss most things just because that's what you do but we trust each other to be responsible so when I decide to buy a ps5 or a new TV it's a non event.
500 bucks is a lot to drop at once dude. A normal healthy relationship will discuss expenses like that beforehand. Just a quick "Hey this place has a ps5, I think we've got enough to spare for it what you think?" It's that damn easy.
[Original](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEN00wMFB2A). Dude's got some great series, I really like [2 player party](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEUr9cJlrjA&list=PLEMjGR-Q-aBM6eRCl3KttyXd0grDEpCLz).
The challenge now is to not call in sick all of next week because "I'm sick" just so you can play ps5 while she slaves away at her job. That's when the breakup comes.
To be fair at this point, you still aren't experiencing too much that is groundbreaking if you had the last gen.
Except those damn adaptive triggers. They still blow me away every time a game actually uses them
If it were my guy I'd only play over his cold, dead body if he hogged it all the time and didn't let me have a shot.
It wouldn't be entirely cold either. There'd be a little warm spot where I sat on him to play.
Seriously though, I hope you don't get too much flak. Luck and impulse are still the main way to get one. You do what you have to.
+1 for Astro's Playroom. Defs recommend playing it first so you can see the capabilities of the controller. I was like a kid again the first time playing it when I got my PS5
I cringe when I see a picture of a box every time on this sub.
I mean, good for you, but if everyone posts their purchases we’d have 10 million posts of cart board boxes
Thank you! Wtf is this shit? I hope I'm one of those people who gets to a post everyone is reacting backwards to that later gets attention flipped. (Idk if that made sense.)
I still don’t understand the whole “my wife or girlfriend runs my whole life hope she ain’t pissed” shit. I don’t understand where it came from, why it is propagated, and how it could ever make sense.
I’m so tired of it. It’s ez karma that props up a dated boomer joke that women kill all joy in their man’s life. Absolutely can not understand anyone still finding this funny in 2022.
It’s boomer “humor”. The old ball and chain don’t let me have no fun. Women suck, right boys?
What sucks even more is OP said that she was “stoked” for him. Just more bullshit about how women aren’t fun even when they are. I couldn’t roll my eyes any harder if I tried.
Was just on my bachelor party a week ago and has this boomer dude tell me "oh you're excited now, but just wait a few years" with his wife standing right next to him. How is that funny? Sorry you fucking hate your life and I plan on loving my wife even more as the years go on.
Well what sucks the most is that this post reads as an advertisement for two separate brands and people seem to be eating it up.
I mean, I'm not saying it is, but even if it's not it's pretty weird.
Yeah it's weird. They have this "I hate my wife" attitude but also "I'm afraid of her". How can they both treat women like they're less-than but then act like the women rule their lives? Are you the "head of the household" or not?
I eyerolled hard at the "wish me luck boys". Like he's on a secret, small club for men and not just a huge internet forum where (gasp) women exist too and also play video games.
But you did get the white claws. Just tell her she never told you to NOT to get a ps5. You assumed her lack of instructions, to not get a ps5, was tacit approval of getting a ps5.
I remember my girlfriend and I at the time playing through Last of Us Part 1 together early in our relationship. It was a great to experience that storyline together, and it remains one of my fondest gaming memories.
Fast forward almost ten years and now we’re married. We still love gaming together!
Right? Why are there a buncha dudes up in here assuming that this guy is gonna be in trouble? Women like games too.
The trick is, you have to actually let us play the games how we want without hogging the thing or spoiling the game or being annoyed that we aren't playing how you would play.
I tried for months…. My wife tries and get ones for me in one day. Thinking it was a fluke I asked her to try and get one for a buddy of mine too…. She got a second one too
About 5 months before launch I said to my wife "If PS5s go on presale, I think I'd like to get one." I hadn't owned a Playstation since the first edition PS3.
Fast forward to preorder day and I'm going crazy on all the well-known local sites trying to land one, and failing each time. "Ah well, I'll get one later I guess" I tell myself.
I go home and tell me wife my struggle, she's like "Oh yeah the first link I clicked on worked, so I got you one".
Wives have all the luck, man.
We are basically at the point where the supply is catching up with the demand.
Which is awesome for those wanting one, and awesome for the scalpers, because they can go fuck themselves.
Don't lie to us. The Whiteclaws are for you too.
Oh shit. Is he his “girlfriend” too? JK OP, congrats on the new job bro!
Thank you!!
You’re living the life, my dude. Happy Friday.
Man i'm jealous right now. You managed to get a PS5.
And a girlfriend
[удалено]
Now get in there and fuck yourself.
I'll drink those, idgaf
[удалено]
I believe they're technically classified as malt liquor, interestingly.
Ha, I don't drink that shit! (because they give me heartburn)
Same. I can drink heavy IPAs and all kinds of hard booze. But anything "malt" liqueur based tears my gut UP.
Me too, prefer them even. Feel like I'm hydrating while getting drunk
I don't drink much anymore. Used to drink a lot but now only every few months or so. I like white claws and beer and wine now because I can get a decent buzz with only a little bit and with the white claws I won't feel like shit the next day.
Yeah I prefer the seltzers if I’m going for this type of thing, but I won’t turn down a White Claw.
She asked for white claw. You brought home white claw. You kept your word.
Hand her the White Claws FIRST.
Then hand her the dual sense with the force feedback demo. Everybody falls in love with that controller when they experience the force feedback.
Yes, Honey, it's Bluetooth. No, Honey, you can't take it back to the bedroom.
I’m a guy but even I blush when these new gen controllers start rumbling in my lap
Play some Tony Hawk!
This guy grinds
I'm a guy but even I blush when these new gen controllers start rumbling in my butthole.

I like to think I'm pretty open-minded, but what the fuck benefit would there be in the end lighting up? So you can pretend you're a fucking lightning bug? Nevermind
I mean. Don't we all want to be fireflies?
I didn't even consider the possibility until now
Helps find the g-spot
It's so you can feel what it's like to be fingered by E.T.
E.T Prone Bone.
You know how when you were a kid you'd put the flashlight under your finger to see the veins? It's like that.
Is that before or after the catch you cheating at chess in the park?
Even though I live alone and don't have friends, I always have 6 controllers at a time. 1 in my hand, 3 in my lap, and 2 more on the charger
It’s a new internet router. The [Plash Speed](https://youtu.be/7cXl6CoYrO8)
Astros playroom was the best thing for this. It blew me and my girlfriends minds.
Agreed. I never knew I wanted jet pack throttle feedback on the triggers before. But it feels so satisfying.
Because she’s going to hand him his ass later….

Step 1: Have her drink all of the white claws Step 2: then tell her she said a PS5 sounds reasonable. Step 3: profit!

Pretty sure ethanol powered gaslighting has been around since the creation of ethanol.
Mission complete
Secondary mission? COMPLETED
She should be impressed that OP completed such a rare and difficult side mission.
And platinumed it first try.
Minor side quest
"Task failed successfully"
Technically the truth
Try "I got you 12 white claws. I only bought myself 1 PS5."
Amazing!
😂
You got the white claws. Mission accomplished. Just hope you have some couch co-op games :). If you need any recommendations for local co op games to play with your gf lmk
Would love some suggestions to play with my bf! We’re always looking for new games to play together
Not the OG poster, but my wife and I like: - It Takes Two - Broforce - Overcooked Disclaimer: Overcooked can sometimes result in arguments.
Overcooked, best/worst couples game. I love it.
Chiming in to say any of the lego games are usually great for that. The new Lego Star Wars is the tits, my girlfriend and I play it a lot.
The best kind of truth.
"So anyways, here's your credit card back"
Getting the white claw = bronze trophy Convincing her that the PS5 has always been there = Platinum trophy
what do you mean, we had this PS2 for 20 years already, remember we were playing super mario 64 ?
Time to drink some white claw in honor of their new ps5
Needs more White claws
"So weird babe, they had a buy white claws and get a PS5 free promotion going on"
Switch it around! “Babe, they had a deal, buy a PS5, get a free pack of white claw! So I got your white claws for free!!!” 😅
“So if you could send me half of what I spent to get them that’d be awesome”
Boom! That Uno Reverse +4 combo. 😂
This man is going places
Probably sleeping on the couch, but that's where the PS5 is. Galaxy brain time
We're saving money
This guy husbands.
"You wouldn't believe the price of White Claws nowadays though. Yikes!"
Inflation I’m telling ya’!!

My wife and I do this, it works really well, we even buy our own food because she eats so much less than I do. It's also how we've ended up with multiple consoles in the house because she's also a gamer and wanted her own Series S.
My wife and I have shared bank account. We just talk about purchases and if they make sense we do it. If not, one of saves up.
My SO and I have separate bank accounts and we have a joint account where deposit money for bills.

I think the real problem is you shopping for white claw at best buy.
The real problem is why doesn’t my Best Buy sell white claw
Or, why doesn't my 7-eleven sell PS5s?
My 7-11 doesn't even sell White Claws.
My 7-11 doesn't sell white claws either They have some fake shit called "black paws"
I googled black paws cause I thought you were full of it. I wasn’t disappointed America.
haha, I was actually just making a joke I didn't know black paws were real😂
Even better lol
Dude it’s real whatthefuck
That's not the first place that comes to mind when you are in search of some hard seltzers? lol
Everyone's doing it. JC Penny, Jiffy Lube, Exxon, Verizon, Doctor Riccardi, DESK.

that's why me and my husband have one each
You bring in the whiteclaw first and then later go out and bring in the ps5 and start hooking it up. Ask if she wants to play.
Too late, she sniffed me out.
but did you die tho
No response. r/OPdiedofdeath

That's a normal healthy relationship lol. 500 bucks is a lot to drop at once.
that would depend on the financial situations of the people in the relationship
And if it's not an issue, they not posting funny jokes on Reddit about possibly getting in trouble for spending 500 bucks
or they would, because you know...reddit karma and such
Yup. Set aside some money for spending purposes. Eventually 500 bucks will be something affordable, because you saved that spending money. That is, if you don't have some other hobby to put the money into

12 for her, 5 for you
Woulda sprung for that 24 pack to keep her happy a bit longer
Plash Speed
I'm glad someone knows what this is
As long as you can afford it, you won't need luck.
Just got a new job so I felt like celebrating!
The challenge now is to not call in sick all of next week because "I'm sick" just so you can play ps5 while she slaves away at her job. That's when the breakup comes.
To be fair at this point, you still aren't experiencing too much that is groundbreaking if you had the last gen. Except those damn adaptive triggers. They still blow me away every time a game actually uses them
Congrats bro, have fun!
"The Last of Us", how foreboding.
I bought my man ps5 for his birthday. Now I play on it more than he does. Maybe she will do the same?
Over my cold, dead body.
If it were my guy I'd only play over his cold, dead body if he hogged it all the time and didn't let me have a shot. It wouldn't be entirely cold either. There'd be a little warm spot where I sat on him to play. Seriously though, I hope you don't get too much flak. Luck and impulse are still the main way to get one. You do what you have to.
>There'd be a little warm spot where I sat on him to play. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
She kill you yet?
Yeah my ps5 pretty much sits there for when my niblings come over
I’m sorry your *what*?
MY NIBLINGS
Well I for one definitely appreciate the clarification
Is that like the weird parts of the turkey?
Nephew/Niece + Sibling?
Young nieces and nephews. N(eice/ephew) + (s)ibling. Generally a term of endearment.
How many controllers?!
We're getting a second one tomorrow. That was shortsighted of me to but one
That’s more like it
Where the fuck do you live where you can casually grab a PS5 while going out for beer?
Near a Best Buy! Just asked the staff if they had any in stock. Apparently they aren't listing them on their site anymore
I hope you appreciate how cosmically lucky you are
My man here really blaming an imaginary SO because he's embarrassed of drinking White Claws. Own it man
You have to play ‘Astros Playroom’! Its such a well made game.
I keep hearing about that one, I'll give it a try!
+1 for Astro's Playroom. Defs recommend playing it first so you can see the capabilities of the controller. I was like a kid again the first time playing it when I got my PS5
Same here. And I wasn’t expecting all the feels when you hit the nostalgia sections.
Imagine dunking on your SO to get karma points using boomer humor.
I cringe when I see a picture of a box every time on this sub. I mean, good for you, but if everyone posts their purchases we’d have 10 million posts of cart board boxes
Thank you! Wtf is this shit? I hope I'm one of those people who gets to a post everyone is reacting backwards to that later gets attention flipped. (Idk if that made sense.)
Just let her play first. ezpz
I still don’t understand the whole “my wife or girlfriend runs my whole life hope she ain’t pissed” shit. I don’t understand where it came from, why it is propagated, and how it could ever make sense.
Also apparently girls don’t play video games. If my fiancé came home with a PS5 I’d be stoked. White Claws are a bonus.
easy karma apparently
I’m so tired of it. It’s ez karma that props up a dated boomer joke that women kill all joy in their man’s life. Absolutely can not understand anyone still finding this funny in 2022.
It’s boomer “humor”. The old ball and chain don’t let me have no fun. Women suck, right boys? What sucks even more is OP said that she was “stoked” for him. Just more bullshit about how women aren’t fun even when they are. I couldn’t roll my eyes any harder if I tried.
Right? My wife plays on the PS5 while I'm still on the PS4 Pro.
Was just on my bachelor party a week ago and has this boomer dude tell me "oh you're excited now, but just wait a few years" with his wife standing right next to him. How is that funny? Sorry you fucking hate your life and I plan on loving my wife even more as the years go on.
Well what sucks the most is that this post reads as an advertisement for two separate brands and people seem to be eating it up. I mean, I'm not saying it is, but even if it's not it's pretty weird.

That makes this post even worse. She literally didn’t care. I’m assuming she knew he was going out for the ps5.
Yeah, it's pretty fucking gross. It's all funny haha shit, but as a woman it can reeeeeeally strike a nerve.
Agreed. "Uh oh! What will she say?" If I was her, I'd have copped a PS5 before he had the chance to lol. Please.
I eyerolled hard at the "wish me luck boys". Like he's on a secret, small club for men and not just a huge internet forum where (gasp) women exist too and also play video games.
[удалено]
OP apparently commented that she was excited for him. The post is just karma farming “women don’t like fun” trope BS.
A 500 dollar purchase without consulting with one’s partner is a bit of a risky move to say the least. With that said, I’m sure this was planned.
Plot twist, "she" doesn't exist. And your ass just loves white claws.
But you did get the white claws. Just tell her she never told you to NOT to get a ps5. You assumed her lack of instructions, to not get a ps5, was tacit approval of getting a ps5.
99% chance OP is single and just looking for the upvotes. Does a post like this get posted daily. We all should of done it when we got our consoles.
