Couple's gaming setup with a LOUD partner?
My husband and I love gaming, and while we will occasionally play cozy coop games together (Minecraft, Bokura, etc), he plays a lot of games with his friends as well that are very competitive (also league, Tarkov, etc). He can get REALLY LOUD when he's gaming with his friends to the point where I definitely get overstimulated while playing my own games, and need to leave the room.
Currently our setup is our work/personal desks in our bedroom due to having roommates prior, but now that we have the whole house to ourselves, we are thinking of moving the desks out of our room. I want to be in the same room as him when we do coop games together, but also have my own peace and quiet when he's raging (I don't want to silence him!). My noise cancelling headphones cannot fully filter out his yelling LOL. We have one empty room and one empty living room that we are thinking of furnishing.
Does anyone here have a similar situation? How did yall do the setup?
(Edited to add) I get overstimulated pretty easily with my senses, so even when he's not being loud sometimes I like retreating to my own space! Even though we share a bedroom, I still have my own as well and it's kinda like a little nest for me. I enjoy my own personal time regardless of noise :) (we are also happily married, just trying to find a good middle ground with our hobbies)
