My (at the time) girlfriend and I were playing Minecraft and we both were hanging out showing each other the houses we had built. I jokingly sneaked up behind her and poked her (in game) with a bare hand, something we occasionally took turns doing.
But this time we had dogs, I didn’t realize that her dog would turn aggro. Her dog started attacking me, and my dog, in turn, attacked and killed her dog.
We’re now married and over ten years later she’s still “mad” (but not really) about it.
My wife doesn’t play, but I like to think our experience with IRL dogs would have instinctively precluded this. We can’t even raise out voices about an external topic we agree about without our Heeler barking at us to calm the fuck down.
Still, I also understand. I play solo because it’s relaxing, but if anything happens to Rusty or Blue, I will take a vow to obliterate that mob and its entire genetic legacy.
Still better than when you’re playing VR and accidentally hit your dog…
Have a pack of 30 dogs
Accidentally hit one
Wipe out pack
Start over
