My son introduced me to a mobile game, and we've been playing non-stop together (lemmy.world)

My son is 19, he still lives with us while going to culinary school. We have a great relationship, but I still miss spending time with him because he likes to mostly stay to himself when he is home.

He introduced me to a mobile game (Monster Hunter Puzzle), and we have been so addicted together. Checking in on each other’s islands and quests and such, it’s been so much fun!

I am super grateful for this extra time with him. I know he will move out soon and start his life in earnest. But for now, we quest.

It can be hard to connect with parents at that age. I hope I can be lucky enough to keep a little fun between us when he gets there.

That's really cute and nice of you both to make the effort and try to find common activities ! Something like this that worked with my much younger brother was cooking desserts. He's not a very talented cook, and very rarely tries a recipe on his own, but whenever I tell him in advance that I wanna do a brownie or a crumble, etc... with him, he gets really excited and we end up having great results (even though he does maybe 10% of the work lol)
