Well for starters it's likely fake or exaggerated,remember these stories are made for getting engagement out of you. Look at you, OP makes a thread about this, you don't go, "ok?" and then go to another thread, you stop and gave a reply on what you think and in turn I responded to what you think, but in the end the guy in the OP isn't real, or rather he is only as real as what it takes to get you to reply.

This guy is going to be mad as fuck if he skipped out on specifically RDR2 because from what I've seen in 6's gameplay, they're using that type of controls mechanics for on-foot navigation. Coupled with long as fuck animations like 'refueling your car' and shit like getting an item out of the fridge, I'm putting money that he's going to feel frustrated as fuck as to why the game is resembling his current reality instead of the power fantasy he actually wants to play

GTA 6 is going be to the biggest vidya release of all time, normies everywhere are gonna take off for it like the Japanese used to do for Dragon Quest.

The good news is that the holiday discounts this year for other games will probably be very good since they have to compete against GTA 6 this holiday season. Black Friday is 7 days after GTA 6 comes out, good luck getting any normalfag to care about your game during that period without heavy discounts.

I was browsing LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Google Jobs and Indeed this morning, doing my weekly job search, and this was the front page article on LinkedIn.

To me it really shows people the true normie state of video games and entertainment industry. GTA 6 is gonna sell TONS of copies just to normies alone. I do think long term GTA 6 online will flop, in many ways this could be the final GTA. But yeah I want everyone to know just how normie coded GTA 6 is like the Nintendo Switch is tendie coded.

>Most of them were serious about dating in a way most their peers weren't
A relationship being serious doesn't mean it's actually any good. Some get lucky, but a good deal of those tend to crash and burn right after school. There's not some specific age where happy lifelong marriages just happen if you're serious enough. but as you get older the pool of people your age who are capable of sustaining happy lifelong marriages definitely decreases, people who are good at being married usually don't have to do it 3+ times to get it right, and you're probably kidding yourself about which category you fall into

>A relationship being serious doesn't mean it's actually any good.
You are missing the forest from the trees here, serious about dating doesn't mean they just committed to the first person they saw, they look at it as someone they are going to be with for the rest of their life and had the courage to not stay in situations that were serviceable but not ideal, that's where many people fuck up, they either don't try at all or just hang off of what they got first rather than keep looking.

> There's not some specific age where happy lifelong marriages just happen if you're serious enough.
Your spoiler is touching more into what my point was. Trying to date when you are 30 is like shopping for an item that came out ten years ago and was discounted: you might still find it new or at least in good condition, but the money and luck needed now, would have been easier to get the item when it was on shelves ten years ago but you weren't looking for it then.
