Help! My girlfriend's a rage gamer

Dear Mother,

My girlfriend and I have been together for a while now. When we started dating, I was very open about how important games are to me, and she was totally on board! She told me about how she had played Red Dead Redemption 2 casually and finished The Last of Us on easy mode earlier that year. We have very different histories, tastes, and experience levels with games, but nonetheless I was excited to share my passion with her.

Since then, we've tried out a few different games together that I thought would be welcome entries for a fairly inexperienced gamer. We've tried Overcooked (low barrier of entry, high octane gameplay that she enjoyed), Monster Prom (fun dating sim and competing to see who goes to the prom), Pokémon (she got tired of random encounters), and then your usual array of party games. This year, she's gotten more independent with her playtime, borrowing things from my library to play on her own PS5, but we still try to play games together. This is where the problems arise.

See, my girlfriend is a rager. Not in a throwing-controllers kind of way, but in a seething, cursing, quick to get mad kind of way. Before it used to mainly be that she was swapping between consoles a lot, and since there isn't a universal controller layout she had to keep getting reacquainted with the controllers. Nowadays it tends to be the next step in the process: remembering what the buttons do, and to what extent they do them.

It Takes Two seems to tower over us.
