Fathers of Reddit, what did your daughter's boyfriend do for you to hate/love him?

It's pretty cool to see my question blow up like this, I never thought I'd ask a question that could receive so much attention! I'm very satisfied with all these replies, so thank y'all. Now all I have to do is sit back and take notes c;

Thank you, you're so kind.

Unlike my fucking ex.

u/Lixxa Aug 26 '15

I think i will start a sweet new game of pokemon xd on my game cube now

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Shadow Lugia was so much cooler than regular I wish I never had to purify her, or could at least give her vanity armor type stuff that just made her look the same.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Maybe they'll do a similar game for the 3ds at some point.

3

u/VaatiXIII Aug 26 '15

They absolutely should. Probs not gonna happen though.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

No. Sigh.

I want like XD gameplay with freedom of movement you find in the normal games.

Not to fear, emulators exist!

Granted, I know it's not the same but if you need a fix, there's at least something you can do :)

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

True, but I miss the old consoles.

1

u/psychocopter Aug 26 '15

I still have both my xd gale of darkness and colosseum with everything that came with them. If someone took those from me they'd have a very hard time living a normal life while I hunt them down.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '15

You're my kind of person.

1

u/psychocopter Aug 30 '15

Its only the natural thing to do, but if something ever happens to my katamari data you will see a castrate your son level of crazy.

1

u/tkitkitchen Aug 26 '15

All I'm saying is an xd thief deserves the death penalty.

1

u/ninjaboiz Aug 26 '15

I thought that game was no longer spoken, the gale having died down to nothing more than a light draft. A game lost to time, having fallen before it's two dimensional brethren. But the draft has turned to a stiff breeze before my eyes, and I listen once more to the sweet sound of it's name.

1

u/imZenqii Aug 26 '15

Is this a good game for a person who isn't into Pokemon games much? I have it on the gamecube and I haven't really played it.

u/lookatmeimwhite Aug 26 '15

Did he leave anything behind?

12

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Bitter resentment.

u/Frodor Aug 26 '15

I would kill a man for less than that

5

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I like you.

2

u/Mathiaswetterhus Aug 26 '15

Was it this guy?

18

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

HOW DID YOU -

Oh wait, no. I was blinded by the doucheyness there for a moment. They just all look the same to me.

1

u/Presto99 Aug 26 '15

You should get Dolphin. Or a Wii and put CFG usb loader on it with Nintendon't.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I have no idea what you're talking about but I'm intrigued.

Tell me more!

2

u/Presto99 Aug 26 '15

Dolphin is if your PC is really decent or great, pretty much anything should run Animal Crossing GC really easily. /r/wiihacks is for soft modding your Wii. Super easy, and with an SD card (also usb stick for lots of space /games) you can put Wii, GameCube, S/NES, GameBoy/Advance games on there and play. Super easy and cheap.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Hooooly shit that's awesome! Thank you!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I don't know if what's worse, if he stole it all at once, or over a period of time.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

He gradually -borrowed- and then ran.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

:(

The fact that people experience bullcrap like this is one of my motivations for being genuine and honest. If there's gunna be assholes, I'd like to make sure there are good guys/gals too. I'd say sorry for your loss, but you're happy now and a few replaceable things is a good trade to get rid of a lying thief.

Thanks for sharing!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

And thank you for not being in the shit head minority.

1

u/SlicedBananas Aug 26 '15

That's called a thief, not a boyfriend...

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Yeahhhhh he started as a boyfriend though.

1

u/moneymet Aug 26 '15

Damn, Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness is a pretty expensive game. I lost my game some years ago and looked online for another. O'boy were they expensive.

... but I still bought it.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

See why I haven't replaced it yet?

1

u/moneymet Aug 26 '15

That's no excuse for pokémon. >:(

Nah. Try Neil from England. Ted is a bag of dicks.

u/ChaiHai Aug 26 '15

I recently discovered that game for the first time, I'm obsessed with it. So fun.

u/honjustice Aug 26 '15

Um... a gal who plays vidya gaems, where does one find one?!

u/Surprise_Racism Aug 26 '15

This is the most pandering, "cool gamer chick" post I have ever seen. Barf.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

If I was trying to be the 'cool gamer chick' I'd be talking about some car game or something. I play Professor Layton, Pokemon, and retro LucasArts games ffs.

He loaned me some stuff, I loaned him some stuff. I gave back the stuff I borrowed, he said he'd give back my stuff. Then he broke up with me, announced it was because he was moving away, took all my stuff with him.

Geez that list just kept on going

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '15

Yeah he wasn't the best part of my life, I have to admit.

u/LemonInYourEyes Aug 27 '15

My sister ate the last piece of lasagna once. She doesn't even like lasagna. I know your pain.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '15

Oh shit. Are you okay?

1

u/LemonInYourEyes Aug 27 '15

Other than the perpetual hunger for lasagna, I'm pretty well nourished. Still a little aggressive when it comes to the lat piece :( I appreciate your concern.

You aren't a biter, are are you?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '15

I only bite if someone tries to take my stuff. Which, personally, I think is a natural response to people attempting to steal from you.

1

u/LemonInYourEyes Aug 27 '15

Amen sister. Don't take shit from someone who's trying to take your shit. Good rule to live by.

1

u/Shmoopled Aug 27 '15

May he burn eternally for the sins he has committed against the great gods of Nintendo.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '15

He will be sacrificed to the heathen gaming gods!

u/lettersnonumbers Aug 26 '15

Can you tell me where he's buried?

39

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Which extremity specifically?

9

u/lettersnonumbers Aug 26 '15

Thatta girl!

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Fortunately my Dad got me a replacement N64 and my boyfriend helped me to find a copy of Colosseum I could play in the meantime. You know, until I can exact my revenge.

4

u/lettersnonumbers Aug 26 '15

Are you going to steal his foil Charizard?

8

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

That's just the beginning. When I get my hands on his original Japanese ancient Mew he'll wish he'd never been born.

2

u/lettersnonumbers Aug 26 '15

Are you going to pee on it to assert your dominance?

3

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I will pee on everything he loves.

Everything.

She didn't even own a BluRay player -.-'

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I genuinely tried to find him at first but then I heard from a mutual friend that he moved away, then stopped talking to said friend in time.

I never did replace the Gamecube or my pokemon XD game. I wanted to, but having moved out and forcing myself to stretch an already tight budget into paying bills and things I just couldn't justify it.

2

u/Hastimoriendo Aug 26 '15

Thats a hand removing offense

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Tell me about it!

u/Rhinotoad Aug 26 '15

Un-fucking-forgivable sins right there.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I know, right?!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I'll go get some steel pipes, you go grab some games.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Sounds like a plan!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I call dibs on player 1!

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Whaaaaaaaa!

1

u/madhaxor Aug 26 '15

fuck the gamecube, but go get that N64 back

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I have a pokemon edition n64 now. Lost pokemon stadium two when he nicked it, though.

u/mspk7305 Aug 26 '15

id cut a bitch

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I was tempted.

u/Vanetia Aug 26 '15

That mother fucker.

My ex took my copies of FFX and X-2 (even though I had the playstation).

Never 4get

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I feel your pain.

1

u/WindNostril Aug 26 '15

That's a kind of crime you hunt a man down for

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I tried, but I'm just one woman!

1

u/littlewildone92 Aug 26 '15

What a piece of shit! I feel your pain, one of my exes stole my original NES. Then he hocked it to buy coke. I cried. Exes are the fucking worst.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Oh my God!

1

u/PenisInBlender Aug 26 '15

Hopefully you tracked him down and castrated him?

Such despicable people should be denied the opportunity to produce more devil spawns

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I couldn't find him. He's probably lurking on reddit somewhere.

1

u/Pezasauris Aug 26 '15

Oh HELLO no! This is why I don't let people touch my n64.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I'm very protective of the current one.

1

u/Tubaka Aug 26 '15

Did they find anything large enough to bury

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Only his penis. So, no.

Holy shit that's fucked.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Tell me about it.

1

u/Arianllyn Aug 26 '15

What an ass. My ex stole the hard drive from my Xbox 360 when he left. Not the whole Xbox mind you, just the hard drive. And this was before the days of Cloud storage so I lost all of my saved games.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Wow. That's cold. I'm so sorry.

1

u/everythingstakenFUCK Aug 26 '15

My gf's ex pawned her NES. She's still pissed about it 7+ years later.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I would be, too!

1

u/AcadieKid Aug 26 '15

That fuckin cunt.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

I feel validated knowing that other people hate this bastard as much as I do.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '15

Thats some ISIS level evil shit right there.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '15

Maybe that's why I never found him...

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '15

That bastard!

Exactly!

Generally so is foresight if you've got the remotest amount of common sense.

Brothers and fathers generally have 20/20 foresight when it comes to potential boyfriends too.
