When my partner and I sit down to play Final Fantasy RPGs together (one person driving, one person navigating or commenting), sometimes about when one of us gets bored/fed-up, the other one will be quite interested and eager to play. So the controller gets handed over and the driver/navigator roles switch. And sometimes, when the new driver gets bored, the navigator will be keen to drive once again.

Occasionally, like tonight, this role swapping will go back and forth several times, causing video game sessions hours longer than they would otherwise naturally be if only one person was (sensibly) playing until they were bored and then stopping.

It's not like FFn is particularly riveting, it's just kind of got that scratch-an-itchiness about it that suggests that just a couple minutes more might be nice. And then it's an hour past your bedtime.

It's okay, we're adults, we can stop any time.
