You have no choice, move out or go to war with him. Make his life hell. Or I guess you could try bribes, buy something for yourself he wants and don't let him use it until he stops.
>>
>>34487256
yup
it's move out or war

consistently fucking up your sleep is damaging your health
"next time you harm me by waking me up, I'm punching you in the face"

Stick some foam padding in the door frame so it doesn't slam so loudly. Oil those hinges while you're at it.
Teach him the forbidden art of the piss bottle so he doesn't have to leave his room.

I'm not sure about unethical solutions. Most will be context dependent and have a chance of backfiring.
>>
>>34487182
You should leave him stay neet and comfy, you fag.
>>
>>34487182
Two options:
>One night when he wakes you up with his stomping and noise, get up from bed and beat the shit out of him. Beat him with a belt or whatever you have on hand. Smack the shit out of him (open hand). Crack his TV. Pick up his gaming system and slam it against the wall. Give him the months of correction he needs all at once, and make it known you will do so again. Put a fear and respect in him that he clearly doesn't have and doesn't instilled in him by your parent
>Move out

How can you be NEET and have some school obligations?

If you had beat him into a pulp since young, he would never dare
>>
>>34487182
You should join him
>>
>>34489237
Yeah technically he's not a NEET but in practice he is which is why I called him so. The goblin has to do 1/2 things per week 'online' for like an hour max
>>

Most rational advice IMO; don't know if parent's allow any form of modificaiton though (they are autistic af (guess i got the 'tism from them))
>>
>>34490470
Stop calling your brother a goblin
>>
>>34489231
genuinely considering option 1
option 2 is already in motion, just 5 more months of this shit
>>
>>34487182
Stagger when you're at mom's house and dad's house when he's not there.
