I do NOT reccomend the movie Perfect Days. It was traumatic. the director and lead actor have probably never done a day of actual work in their lives.the movie is just the portrait of man in an immense amount of pain while pretending to cope. literally me.
>>84477560>How are you doing?My life keeps improving, it's still shit tho>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?I had a new year resolution, already gave up on it>Any good video games you've played lately?I like Dante's Inferno, that game rules>Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation?I recommend the Necronimicon by Lovecraft
>>84477589This was my take on the movie too. I was surprised at so many people saying it was a love letter to simple living.
>>84477560>How are you doing?Wishing I never existed.
Hii I'm a 28 year old Latina femanon in South California can I post too :3
>>84478084only if you post your tittties
>>84477560ok so I haven't checked, to be a wizard I need to be a virgin?I'm not even a man, can I be a mage or something?I'm neither man or virgin but I'd like to talk to you all
>>84478093Please become my sorceress
>>84478101I can see why you guys are wizards now
>>84478102So you are more of a evil witch i guess..
>>84478105Do I hear time for burnieeess?
>>84477560Everything I like has been taken over by leftoids. I just sit in my apartment all day doing nothing
>>84478131At least do something, like me I'm watching Hercules The Legendary Journeys.
>>84478142Like I can go without talking politics but those people are so hardcore into their politics (it's their entire personality afterall) that when they find out you don't share their views they'll excommunicate you
Well I've been indulging into escapism since the beginning of the year and even though I was not fixing any of my problems I spent a bit over three months where I didn't feel bad, but that ended a couple of weeks ago around my birthday.I'm in dire need of a break from everyone and everything. I need silence and solitude.As for games, I've been playing Balatro and Spectromancer, card games are relaxing.If you're in for some relatable (read depressing) movie give Vinyl from Allan Zweig a shot.
>>84477560>How are you doing?great, actually. I wasn't even expecting to be doing anywhere near this good with all the minor bullshit the life throws at you, but I'm a stage where I don't give a fuck anymore.>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?didn't have any planned things to try out. which reminds to do some shit that is long overdue.>Any good video games you've played lately?not really. I don't even play video games anymore, not for a while.>Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation?nah. I can only ever suggest to drop the fiction and what/read stuff to learn shit. It doesn't have to be a dry 500 page tome without any humour. Gathering info and learning is a lot of fun.
>>84477560It sucks to be the only guy in all female team. Little do they know that Im a 35 khv.
>>84477560it's just too late, isn't it?i'm so used to knowing it's over i can't even conceive it not being over.
i wanna play the new tomodachi game but i can't find my switch anywhere and i don't want to buy a whole new console just to play this and maybe pokopia.. this time im really gonna do it
>>84477560I just bought a house, by myself. Taking on a mortgage by myself, probably 50% of my weekly income will go on repayments. The place is paradise though, for me. Quiet rural location, huge garden, solar panels, rainwater tanks, solar hot water and a twin shed. I'm going to build a food forest.
life just seems so bleak. and even though it's been more than 10 years I am still bitter about my career rejection
I just want to stop drinking for 30 days but I feel its a pointless challenge.
>>84477560>How are you doing?Burned out from school (more than halfway done) but I'm career switching from tradie work and killing all my classes compared to when I was a depressed aimless 20 year-old retard NEET, so I'm still highly motivated and overall happy. >Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?No! >Any good video games you've played lately?Sims 2+3 for sovl, 4 for coom. >Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendationThe Tartar Steppe - Dino Buzzati.epub
>>84478447it's not pointless if you still want to pursue long term goals. if you're just waiting to die it may be pointless
>>84478400It's over unless you somehow completely change who you are age will always worsen things
It's raining out, and my dad came over to visit me and brought me some HariboI'm eating them and drinking coffee. I became a wizard recently and also found out that I had autism. It's been an interesting year, but right now I am /comfy/.
Not a wizard. Life is good, I have a well paid job and finding zoomettes to fuck is easy.
>>84478502Im kinda both at the same time.
>>84478547i thought i had a chance recently and then reality hit me like a slap across the face. i might have had a chance if i wasn't carrying 15+ years worth of trauma. the only way i can describe what happened is bringing someone back from the dead after mourning them for decades. confusion.
>>84477560>how are you doingexisting, in the last year alone I've had 5 friends die, with 4 of them since january >new hobbiesbeen playing with a 3D printer, everytime I use it something breaks on it so I spend more time diagnosing and fixing the issue, then I get depressed cause another funeral >any good gamesbeen playing CnC Generals again and other 20-25 yo RTS games >drop a movie/book rec I've been reading War and Peace, unabridged will watch Lepa Sela, Lepo Gore (pretty village, pretty flame) and Chistilische (Purgatory) both recentish war-films about world changing events: Bosnian war for the first and Chechnya for the 2nd
>>84478423Congratulations anon. I thought about buying a house with some land in the countryside but I'm not sure if I see myself all alone there, plus I don't like the idea of having to drive everywhere.
>>84478566well you need to make up your mind
How are you doing?Okay for the most part a bit lonely sometimes.Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?Well I'm building a habit bur otherwise I don't feel like I have direction so I'm not sure how I'm suppose to improve.Any good video games you've played lately?Been plat8ng Death Stranding 2. I enjoy it. Not happy I don't get to travel around with Lou.Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation?No.
>>84478685>well you need to make up your mindeasy to say
>>84478704eh, personally after facing blanket career rejection i have checked out of society and have zero intention of trying to "build a life". i was willing to do it 7-10 years ago but a man can only take so many nos. I'm just gonna enjoy life until i die
>>84477560>How are you doing?Shit, as usual. Looking forward to getting my four and a half cases of beer tomorrow morning. That'll get me through a week, maybe. I'm so perma-incel for cunt that I now cruise Grindr for feminine fags who would service me, and I still fail. It's the Black Pill beyond the Black Pill, only being desired by fags that I do not desire. I swipe on foids over 50 every day and I get hardly any matches and none of them speak or are DTF. FML. I just want to be laid without paying escorts. Been there, done that. I'll be 40 at the end of summer and I will never know the desire and 'love' of a woman.>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?No such thing. I started photography seven years ago and no-one gave a shit.My IG and my website to sell prints failed miserably. I still do it on the rare times I go outside, though it's just at the park now.>Any good video games you've played lately?Just my usual. Daily but brief play on Star Trek Online, and my weekly play on GT7.>Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation?After my childhood, I'm too nuts to get through books anymore.I love The Sopranos, and pre-2001 Star Trek. Also there's Twin Peaks. The Godfather, GoodFellas, et al.
>>84477560Found a lovely Christmas present for my mom completely by chance, hope she will still be alive to receive it.
I'm gonna get into pickleball this spring and hopefully lose some more weight. I already do disc golf and badmington. Curious about climbing gyms too now that maybe they aren't so trendy anymore they won't be too crowded. Also getting back into scrapbooking and art in general. This weekend I'm going to do some mixed media art with my mom
>>84477560Is anyone else feeling more impulsive the older they get? At 34 I find myself just doing or saying whatever more and more without caring about the consequences, because it feels like it doesn't matter.
>>84479789Yeah, same. Maybe I do care less as getting older.
my main worrry as i get older is how unlikely it is for me to find a fellow virgin wifeand it gets unliklier every year that goes by
>>84480707At 30+, it's basically zero. Might as well disregard 3D, embrace 2D.
>>84477560>How are you doing?taking a break from purging/packing. moving is so much fun!>new hobbiesno new hobbies! part of the reason why I'm moving is to re-engage with an old one (mtb/gravel cycling) that I stopped doing because I couldn't stand the longass drive to decent trails>video jamesnah no real time for that shit anymore. sometimes I'll play some bullshit like megabonk where I can have fun for 15-30 minutes without having to sit thru a bunch of bullshit cutscenes or whatever>movie/book recI'm finally getting around to reading The Three Body Problem and it reads like 3rd rate Asimov, so maybe read some 1st rate Asimov instead>>84481415or hope that affordable chinese waifubots become a reality soon
>>84477560>How are you doing?Hungover from wine. Which is annoying since I wanted to be physically active today>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?Guitar.

I feel like the world I grew up in no longer exists. Everything is different on every level. I feel like I'm phasing in and out of reality, I don't fit in anywhere not even my home. I thought I'd feel this way at 65 or 95 not 35.
>>84481852>born after the sexual revolution>born before the invention of waifubotsit never even began
Found out my one and only ex got engaged after a few months of meeting her new guy. He is tall, attractive, has a great job, well-travelled, etc. Weird thing is that I was the one to end things, it was kind of shitty on my part but I didn't have the certainty or conviction to tell her "I don't want to be with you romantically again/ any more". She is a single mom from a third world country, here on a temporary visa. That isn't a criticism or mockery, just a fact. I felt bad for her and her kid and tried to be good to them, but ultimately she needed a decisive mature man who knew what he wanted, esp. in regards to her, and I guess that wasn't me. At first I fell for her, though a part of that was feeling sorry about her situation. But it became clearer over time how different we were. She told me she knew she wanted to marry me within a few weeks of knowing me, and at first she asked me a bunch of questions, had similar interests to me, etc, but over time her curiosity disappeared (when we started dating) and I noticed her personality and mine weren't exactly compatible. I guess she is a Type A personality or whatever: very ambitious, quite materialistic, loves novelty, loves high intensity experiences, but also quite rude in a way I couldn't digest. Sometimes I think it was just cultural, and her having grown up in a tougher environment, but I started to feel (and play the role of, stupidly) a passive nice guy who had no boundaries. Within a year of knowing each other she told me she wanted to move in together the following year and get married (again, her visa situation necessitated this) but she also openly said (while laughing) that she would never have dated me ten years ago, and also separately said that if a guy walked into her workplace the next day and asked her to get married for the sake of getting a visa she would probably do it. I didn't know how to react, but I became a little cautious after that.
>>84482083>anon discovers a 3rd world woman wanting a visa
>>84482106Yeah, it was a weird experience overall, but it wasn't all bad or anything. But the way in which we last saw each other, by her invitation, was pretty cruel and unclassy on her side I felt, which I suppose has made it easier for me to move or at least not look at things through rose colored glasses. It didn't surprise me either, which again is probably a sign we weren't meant to be.
I've been picking up an emulator with the ROMs I played back when I was in school, in an attempt at experiencing some of the feelings I had back then. It doesn't really work, unsurprisingly. There's a little bit of nostalgia but a lot of the enjoyment from these games came from the lack of stress and worry I had. It's not the same. I play a jRPG and am aware that I'm older than even the oldest party member now. I see an NPC mocking me for being a kid and realize that IRL I'm older than that NPC. I can't get into the game very well. I don't bother picking up treasures because I know they're useless or useful but I won't ever use it. I go on an adventure with friends but unlike back then I know I'll never experience such thing IRL anymore. Female party member has a crush on you, as a teen this made me flustered, but now I know it's nothing but a bunch of pixels with dialogue written by some greasy japanese developer, not an actual girl. I should care about saving the world but I know that even if I do so, nothing actually happens. Not even a sense of accomplishment. Everything is so ugly now.
>>84482083you dodged a bullet, bro she married is going to get fucking fleeced when she decides it's time to go home
>>84482195Nah, I don't think so. She doesn't want to go home, her life would be shit-tier there in comparison. And like I said, the guy is chad-tier, especially compared to me. Either their personalities matched to an insane degree, or there's something wrong in me that caused me to not do the same as he did
>>84482215you'd be surprised. I've known several guys, all engineer types, who married a turd-worlder from some SEA or slav shithole, only to get rekt when she returns to the shithole with kids in tow and a nice chunk of his money. even though their home country is a shithole, it's where their family and people are, and with their ex-hubby's money, they can live high off the hog
>>84477560>How are you doing?i dropped out my uni course and am back to minimum wage, living with parents.freaked out a little at the realisation im forever stuck like this now but part of me don't care, i could be a crackhead or worse scumbag.my parents love me, i love them, once they're gone i think i'll shut down completely but till then i'll just cope-maxx.>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?i have a list of boxing gyms i plan to attend>Any good video games you've played lately?i replayed pandemonium on the PS1.that game has really good music !>Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation?read doestyvsky.
>>84482215>that caused me to not do the same as he didI don't understand. You think there's something wrong with you because you didn't get as scammed as someone else?
Well this was fun
Wah wah wah life only gets hardereveryone itt should an hero right now including me
was talking to a woman on discord but now she ghosted mehadn't talked to a womanwish i had stayed ignorant, now i have had a slight taste of paradise, just enough to know what i'm missing, and life became even more unbearablei also know i'll never get anywhere due to physical appearance, i feel completely doomed
>>84477560How are you doing?Terrible. I feel like my body is falling apart. It will not work properly and being depressed and stressed all the time is not helping. My hair is falling out from it all. Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?No! I work all the time and am constantly fatigued and bleh feeling. Any good video games you've played lately? Good? I usually play war thunder, Fortnite with my brother and sisters, and DoA6. Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation? I was wanting to watch perfect days but I will wait until I get paid this Wednesday. However, I see some anons in the thread upset about it or whatever but I wanna see for myself. Pic related is my pupper. He sits in my lap when I play.
>>84483462Are you saying you've never spoken to a woman irl in 30 years?What weird sort of botschizo is this shit

Got a date with a girl, absolutely gorgeous. But I worked out she's about 22, so I'm probably gonna call it off.
32, hot wife, healthy kid, and starting to see paradise just at the end of the tunnel. Finding out this upcoming week if I won the bid for this house. Wish me luck niggas!
these threads are ass, just a sea of posters talking random shit and you never get any reply to your post, very low dopaminergic effects hereoverally I think these are shit, no wonder they diethese are not for me, gonna keep making single threads about my life blogs and predicaments, this is overall very not fulfillingsee you in hell niggst. pushin 40
>>84479789>>84479794me tthree
Loser mode. Cracking at the seams.I keep having dreams every night about me leading some type of elite task force or some shit, some real Metal Gear shit going on in these dreams, I can only guess these are lucid because the amount of control is crazier than a normal dream, kinda feels like I'm participating in a game in my dream.I'm remembering details like chambering rounds and digging around the ground looking inside mags to see if they're loaded.I hope I have another one.
>>84483462i find talking to women really tedious because most of them don't have the same interests i have, however they are really soft so touching them feels really good.
>>84484115srslyneed to get boner pills so I can jerk off
life was purposefully designed to torture meit wants me to end myself
>>84485250Suicide is usually a bad idea. Many people have chosen a life of suffering to pay off karma, it's better to suffer as an old man, then to suffer twice as much in 2 short lives.
How do you guys deal with regret?I'm 35 and doing anything drastic or risky seems pretty pathetic and pointless at this age. I spent my 20s in hermit mode, angry and miserably wasting my time at a job where I was a good boy hardworking wagie, and I've pretty much gravitated back to that role. I feel as though I'm assigning myself a destiny to be miserable. I keep hoping I'll meet someone and it'll all work out, almost as if I'm waiting for some girl to fix my life, which is obviously offputting and probably wouldn't work anyway.My big problem is: how do I figure out how how to life the rest of my life authentically without being crushed by fear and misery?A few years ago when I was 28 I quit a pretty well-paid WFH home due to a couple of reasons, one being a colleague betraying me in a psychotic way, partly because I felt the job itself was kind of shady and partly I think because I wanted to punish myself in some way by sabotaging my life. During this period I had some money saved and planned on buying some travelling gear and travelling aimlessly for the extended future. Instead I spent six months paralysed by depression and then worked the shittiest job available in my area. Looking back I wished I had just travelled and allowed life to present whatever opportunities it may have done. I have a daydream of going back to that time and maybe even travelling around meeting people from /r9k/ and going on brief adventures with them partly to entertain the board or something. I don't know man, I'm flailing and I feel the guillotine is about to drop.
>>84477560>How are you doing?i am voidmaxxingi dont really feel anything anymore>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?ive been playing the piano for 2 months, its a nice time waster after work. i stopped going to the gym after achieving my body goals because it didnt change my mental perception of myself at all>Any good video games you've played lately?slay the spire 2 maybe>Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation?malazan book of the fallen
>>84485344did you just start to play the piano? do you feel yourself making progress?do you actually try to become good at it? what resources do you use for that?
>>84485357I've been playing guitar for 20 years, but I always felt more attached to the piano.I bought a Roland FP10, and I am using Faber adult piano book with this series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8hZtgRyL9WRy-z3v-Pp70ze1wMCeS5KSI can play the stuff in the book so far, it's nice.>do you actually try to become good at it?I put 1 hour of practice into it daily, I doubt I will achieve much but it keeps the darkness at bay.
>>84485340TL;DR reason: risk aversion and anxiety>How do you guys deal with regret?by being intelligent enough to look into the future instead of the past and knowing that I'm better off than ever before and that I can do whatever I want. Question is: do I really want to?TL;DR: You just did not find yourself yet, as females say, and you're anxious and unsure of what you want. You have no set goal so you aren't moving towards it. Simple. And risk aversion is the big part of it.
>>84485368i tried to get into it but don't have any other instrument experience. sort of gave up. i also need to deal with the void
>>84478105I'd rather be a mage actually, I just want to talk to you people
>>84485375maybe try drawing next, or creative writing. keep cycling until you find a good void repellent. remember the goal is to avoid the darkness, not to git gud.>>84485385*casts ray of sickness on you*
>>84485369How do you recommend I move forward in life?I agree I have been hugely risk averse. But at this stage in life, I struggle to see any goal I want to aim towards. For example next week I have an interview for a slightly better job which involves autistic computer stuff, which I find boring and likely will find unsatisfying, but I'm doing it because I feel pressure to progress my career. I'm scared I'm forcing myself in a direction against my will for the sake of money and an improvement in my perceived status. It feels deeply humiliating and wrong not to have any direction otherwise. Truly in a bad place.My ex gf (described earlier in the thread) actually told me after a year that she didn't want to be with a guy who doesn't know what he wants, and as different as we were she did have a pretty good insight into my personality.
>>84485397>not to git gudit's boring when you suck and just adds fuel to the fire when something you hope to be an escape ends up solving nothing. but i don't want to whine. just feeling particularly bad in the past two days and need to vent
>>84485398You let her get in her head. Women are always wrong. You obviously know what you want and what you don't want. Not wanting things is not the same as not knowing what you want.
>>84485340>How do you guys deal with regret?i let it corrode my soul while i sit in a dark room drinking alcohol and listening to radiohead
>>84485511True, but she was right in a lot of ways. I've struggled for a long time with knowing what I want, which causes immense turmoil because I feel like I'm sitting in a car whose wheels are spinning but I can't take off the handbreak because I don't know where I want to drive.
"anything is better than annihilating yourself with drugs and alcohol"
i literally just wanna be dead
>>84485385then talki'm gonna take a nap thoman my sleeping schedule is fugged
>>84485709This is why the recent "red button vs blue button" thing upset me when people said to press the blue one. Leave the blue button for people who want to die, please.
>>84485748A blue button presser that I like, it was inevitable
>>84485650I just cannot bear the boredom hence I drink.
>>84479789Not really impulsive but overall I care way less about what people think of me. That includes like you said doing or saying odd shit, or going out dressed like a hobo because I don't care.
>>84477589>the movie is just the portrait of man in an immense amount of pain while pretending to cope. literally me.just like any movie he gets the girl in the endreality, or literally me, is suffering and nothing but
>>84481852>I can have fun for 15-30 minutes without having to sit thru a bunch of bullshit cutscenes or whateverThis is my main problem with modern video games.Fuck cutscenes and story, I just want to sit down and play something.
the only thing left that could give me purpose is to create art to express my horrible life experience except i'm not good at iti hope to die in a car accident
and i have to keep a straight face around the normies at my job too, everyone around me has partners and friends, they can all sense i'm offonline too i see people getting together, still i am alonemy existence is one big mindfuck and i think i've lost my mind
>>84483476Cute dog anon.Give Perfect Days a shot. I do think the whole movie is a about cope but also a slight hope. It's also a beautiful movie.
>>84485398>How do you recommend I move forward in life?I honestly don't know. It is completely up to you. Set goals and move towards them. Nobody should or could tell you what you want or should want. The choice is yours.If the risk-aversion and anxiety are counter-productive up to the point of being detrimental to the qol, then I don't know who could help you with that, maybe a doctor.
>>84486134Yeah that makes sense Anon. I think I need to see a therapist, I am absolutely miserable.
>>84485398>but I'm doing it because I feel pressure to progress my careerThen don't. I really don't know what I really want from life but I'm really sure about many things I don't want and that includes making my career/job a core part of my life. It pays the bills and as soon as the clock strikes 5 I don't give a fuck about it.
>>84477560I'm learning Japanese because I've got a two week trip booked for next summer.I am very aware it's a hard language to learn, hopefully I will know enough to ask for directions.I'm pretty depressed on the whole about aging. Starting to feel like I'm on my way out.
>>84486575I think I'll do the interview and see how it goes.
>>84486590next summer is in a couple monthsi don't think that's a lot of time to learn japanese

>How are you doing?coping hard with having to work again. had 3 months to neet it up after getting late off end of january, but found a new gig pretty quickly that will start tomorrow. its a lateral entry, so no idea really how this is going to turn out. i just hope the job is at least not boring and i hope i can move up quickly>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?not really. wanted to get into drawing these 3 free months again but procrastinated again for the most part.>Any good video games you've played lately?yeah i really liked nioh 3, fatal frame 2 remake was also pretty fun
>>How are you doing?Turned 40 last week.I'm currently expiriencing the joy of a midlife-crisis.No wife or children. I'm kinda living on auto-pilot: wake up, go to work, sleep.No joy or sorrow. Just existing as a robot.I really dont know what to with the rest of my life. I want to change things, but dont know in what direction I should go.Also, time seems to move faster and faster.>>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?My hobbys are woodturning and scrollsawingHave been into woodworking for 20+ years now.>>Any good video games you've played lately?Played some starcraft:broodwar out of nostalgia but I cant really get into it anymore.Currently thinking about buying Pragmata.
>How are you doing?I turned 37 last month, living life on autopilot. Wanting something else from life yet unsure about what that is.People keep talking about taking it slowly and building habits but I feel like I need to do something drastic.The dread of not having a gf/wife is hitting me hard, but what I really long for is an honest relationship with someone, where I don't feel the need to wear any kind of mask.>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?I've been reading more than usual and working out regularly so that's good.Thought about getting into writing but never really started.Also I might start studying philosophy on my own just to put my brain to work.>Any good video games you've played lately?Not really. I downloaded a bunch of PS/PS2 games a couple of weeks ago and I haven't played any.>Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation?For a movie, some anon suggested Vinyl, I enjoyed it too.As for books, I'd recommend any robot to give Oblomov a read.

>Any good video games you've played lately?I really can't get into most modern games. Someone gifted me Shadow of Mordor on steam last xmas and I finally tried today.After the intro tutorial, cutscenes I'm thrown into an open world map with your usal bloatmax shit of side quests and lots of stats then the combat starts and the gameplay is absolute shit, literally mash and buttons for combos and press another one to parry/counter with a time window big enough that probably an old lady could do it reliably 100% of the time.
>>84477560>How are you doing?OK I guess. Turning 40 in a few months and having the interesting experience of going back to school for a trade program. Most of my classmates are less than half my age, though I'm not the oldest either. One funny thing is the 18 year olds try to be all mature and serious while me and the 50 year old dude in my classes are constantly being Beavis and Butthead. What is kinda depressing, though, is that it's my first real social experience since moving to my current small city after a lifetime in LA, and I'm realizing that fucking everybody here is married by like 25, and it's not a shock because the younger girls I interact with here are WAY more chill and friendly, I actually feel like I could've gotten a GF/wife easily if I'd been here at that age, instead of in LA where everybody's a stuck up cunt and all my friends were single at 35-40 even if they were chads. >Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?I bought my first motorcycle last year, rode it a bunch last summer, but I'm sad to admit it hasn't been out of the garage since I put it away last fall. It's just not quite fast enough to go on the highways safely around here and I'm bored to death of the nearby riding. At least some of the cool mountain roads are opening this week though. I really need to upgrade to something a little quicker but I don't have the money for it and won't until I'm done with school and working again.Also got a new guitar last fall and I've been neglecting that badly too. I'm looking at getting a cheap mountain bike, tons of good riding around here and I really need the exercise, I don't want to die alone and being fat isn't helping my case. I think I'm more likely to actually stick with that too because I like being outside and I can throw the bike in my truck easily to take it to trails. MTB is a big deal here too and apparently one of the best ways to make friends and meet girls.
>>84487522>Any good video games you've played lately?I'm pretty much over vidya. I mostly like RPGs, especially first person open world ones, and there hasn't been anything that I really got into in ages. I've been too busy with school and related stuff as well, and when I do have time I'd rather do real shit, unless I'm completely exhausted and then I don't even have the energy for vidya.>Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation?I recently read the whole 40k Ciaphas Cain series and it was great. The Infinite and the Divine as well. I wish more of the 40k universe was on the level of those instead of being 100% depressing grimdark.
>>84487537I actually started reading the Ciaphas Cain series as well. Currently at vol2. Found out about cai-cai-ciaphas cain after watching some youtube videos+ songs about him. Im surprised how many fanmade warhammer40k songs there are on yt.
>>84477560Thoughts on Pragmata? Does it tickle your paternal instincts?
>>84477560>30+ thread - Wizardry edition>How are you doing?I feel cursed because I keep circling the fact that we are all going to die and nothing matters in the end. It's stupid because there isn't a piece of advice out there in the multiverse that is going to smooth over or cure the human condition. Nobody really knows why we are here or what it's for. I try resting in the fact that I don't need to study to bee when I already am. I don't need to understand in order to breathe. It helps soothe some of the ache from the netherese in between the shyknees. Every wizard knows what I'm talking about.>Are those new hobbies you wanted to try this year coming along?I want to learn mandarin chinese, common lisp, guitar, drawing, telepathy so I can call someone a nigger through the sheer force of my mind, etc. I am completely fine with them just being a diletante interest however. I don't need my hobbies to be anything more than a way to pass the time and keep the negative thought loops at bay.>Any good video games you've played lately?cncnet red alert 2diablo 2 rotwpokemmopokemon showdownstreet fighter 4 ultraJust older games for now until new games stop with the faggottry, crazy prices, and mtx.>Would you like to drop a movie/book recommendation?Book Of Disquiet by Fernando PessoaMetamagical Themas by Douglas Hofstadter
