Today, my best friend excitedly told me all about this new video game she'd just discovered that she thought I'd love. It was her Xmas present from me 2 years ago. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a birthday present from a friend. It was the very same gift I gave to her for Christmas. FML
Today, it was supposed to be a big date day for my girlfriend and I. She really loves a specific video game, so I did what I thought was special on it. I learned the hard way that doing so ruined the entire day for her over the video game. FML
Today, when I tried to play my new Switch, my girlfriend yelled at me to "put down the damn video games." I've barely had five minutes to use this thing without her bitching at me. The worst part? She gave it to me, for Christmas. FML
Today, I received more affection from my wife in a video game than I ever have in real life. FML
Today, the girl I have a crush on posted on her Instagram story: “Best present ever from the most amazing guy ever!” One of my friends gave her the same item I got her for her birthday last month. When I gave it to her, she nonchalantly said, “Cool, thanks.” FML
Today, I found an old toy that I gave to my daughter several years ago. It was still unopened, and long forgotten, so I decided to re-gift it to one of my friend's children. My daughter immediately remembered her "favorite" toy and started crying inconsolably. FML
Today my mom, bored lover of games and mysteries, bragged about outsmarting scammers by burning all the post and gifts they have been sending her. For a special birthday / Christmas, I'd splurged on an expensive, interactive mystery game where you are mailed clues over the course of 6 months. FML
Today, a friend and I celebrated our birthdays together with our mutual friends. I bought them a game from their favourite series, commissioned a sketch, and chipped with others to get them various other presents. I got a mug and a hentai t-shirt. FML
Today, I woke up to my partner showering me with love and gifts. Confused, I asked, "What's the occasion?" It was our anniversary. Not only had I forgotten, but I'd also scheduled a gaming marathon with friends for the entire day. FML
Today, it's my birthday. The present I received from my best friend was the exact same necklace which I gave to her for her birthday two months ago. It had been unwrapped and re-wrapped in the same paper. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

****! It’s getting worse, not better!!! Just when we think the end of the Christmas 2018 stories, we have to dredge up Christmas 2016 stories?!?! How far will this go? Today, I had to give birth in a manger, while three, weird foreign dudes looked at my hoo-hah. FML.

Unless she tossed OPs gift aside 2 years ago and just recently got the game herself.

That's a little awkward.. but at the same time, she loved your gift so that's good!

Was it Amnesia?

I love that game! It’s even better when you have the cheat codes. I forgot where I got them, though.

I don't find this all that surprising. I often have games that I get one way or another and then don't get to play for months or years until I finally get to them. Sometimes you just need to be in the mood for a game to begin and enjoy. At least you know you gave her something she enjoys.

To be fair, I have Blu-rays and games I received for Christmas many years ago, that are unwatched/unplayed not because I'm ungrateful, but because I just haven't found the time. It could be that this was the same, but with the time that had passed, she forgot who specifically gave it to her. At least she's really enjoying your present OP, even if it is later than you expected.

I'd like to imagine the OP gave her friend the present, and then NEVER EVER EVER EVER asked about it, if she enjoyed it, or what she thought of it, until now, just to post this FML.
