A peculiar yet heartwarming ad has a senior couple requesting a compassionate video game tutor for PS4 titles such as The Last of Us 2.

The Last of Us 2 is cherished for its emotional narrative and exciting action-adventure gameplay. But its accessibility options also provide immersive adaptability that players can harness to adjust their playthrough, whether they wish to navigate a nonchalant pace through Very Light mode or a harrowing journey through Grounded Permadeath mode.

These options ensure that players receive an experience that works best for them, even if they are not comfortable or knowledgeable about how to play video games. Recently, a peculiar yet heartfelt advertisement has shown that The Last of Us 2 can be enjoyed by any age demographic, though some constructive assistance may be requested.

One_Eyed_Man had originally shared a Craiglist ad from a senior citizen couple who are looking for someone who can tutor them on how to play PS4 games, particularly The Last of Us 2. The ad does not state why they wish to learn how to better play PS4 Pro titles or The Last of Us 2 specifically, but it is surely an intriguing ad that seems too good to be true for many gamers. The ad's creator states that they are both fully vaccinated and urges that the prospective tutor would also need to be fully vaccinated and be able to present proof of vaccination as well.

Spotted on my local Craigslist. This warmed my heart. from PS4

It seems as though this ad takes the tutoring quite seriously, as they share that they are seeking "someone who is patient and can teach without judging us" or "getting frustrated or irritated." Perhaps they had experienced judgmental criticism beforehand that made playing games like The Last of Us 2 unbearable for them. This would be unfortunate if it was the case, and people have since wished for them to receive an appropriate and respectful responder.

DittoDat makes the fantastic suggestion for them to utilize The Last of Us 2's inclusive accessibility options to personalize their experience and assist with many of the game's more challenging moments. Indeed, there are many options these seniors could implement that would assist with any challenges or other detriments that they have, and make their experience playing The Last of Us 2 as positive and enjoyable as possible.

Peoples' initial reactions to the ad have regarded it as wholesome, with many individuals declaring that they would jump at the opportunity if only they lived closer to the target area. If it is legitimate, it has warmed many peoples' hearts to hear that these senior citizens have found this activity together. Of course, there are some people who have viable reservations about Craigslist ads in general and wish to hear reports back from any potential ad responder's experiences.
