hahaha wtf
Show is Days of Our Lives which is a popular Soap I believe.

They couldn't pick any of the multiplayer games available lol, long RPGs aren't exactly something you'd pick up and play at any random moment with a new person

Good choice!

Shes really feeling it

The way he said Xenoblade made it sound like the actor has never heard of the game before...and it makes sense why. The writer probably had to think of a game and probably ask their kid what game they were playing on the Switch lol.

According to some more backstory in the comments:

So something to note here-- Aaron is pretty goofy and likeable but awkward in some ways, so he's trying to be nice and be friends with Ari since she's going to be in their neighboring dorm at college, so I don't know that it's really supposed to be a 'pick up line' exactly. They're definitely going to be chem testing these two as they build out the teen landscape for Days over the coming months.

It's also basically unheard of in soaps to mention a specific product or service by name unless it's a product placement, promotion, or a property that the network owns, so this is all the more unusual. In another recent episode, Aaron's best friend (and now college roommate) Tate mentioned he was bringing his Switch to college and offered his PlayStation to his little sister to try and make her feel better. Again, very strange in Soap Land!

Hope that provides a little fun context for anyone who maybe cares!

lol interesting

Is he going to break out the "I love you... and all you guys!"

Ive never understood the appeal of soaps. I also hate the way theyre filmed >_>

Persona 4 reference lol

Such great acting.

I thought he would use an actual line from the game, definitely wasn't expecting that lol
