She's been saying for years she wants to expand her gaming horizons. She literally only played either Xbox Arcade games based off of board games (Catan, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne) or Civ Revolution and Peggle 2. This was the entirety of her gaming experience.

So she committed, I mean really committed, and decided to start playing Forza Horizon 4, her first ever racing game. She sank months, and I mean 5-6 nights a week. She got up to a level 110, finished a majority of all of the races. I had the settings pretty much on the lowest possible overall to ease her in, but she never managed to finish any race higher than 3rd.

So I was gaming on something the other night, and I heard a scream from the other room, I thought she saw a spider or something. So I went in there pretty quickly, and she finished first place in a race. Finally. She was completely thrilled, and then told me "I can't believe I got first place against people online!"

That's when my heart sank a bit, and realized that she had no clue that drivatars are just AI, and not real people. She thought she was online this whole time racing against other humans. She won a race on the easiest difficulty and thought she just won online. I didn't have the heart to tell her, and did my best to act excited with her.

She said she wants to try one of the Marvel vs Capcom games on gamepass next. I'm gonna have to sandbag so hard and not beat her ass constantly.
