I want to have a serious discussion about this. Why do we like video games? What point do video games serve in our lives?
why are you stupid
>>720984969They are a highly sophisticated form of computer entertainment. The serve many different functions depending on who you ask. For a better explanation than what you are likely to receive here on /v/, I suggest asking GPT.

>>720984969>Why do we like video games?Because they are enjoyable and there is a large variety. Not just a large variety of genres but even within a genre.>What point do video games serve in our lives?Why do video games need to serve a purpose in someone's life? People play them because they like them. I swear video games are like the only hobby where normies need some "philosophical reason" for people playing them. People never get like this over retards gorging themselves on chicken wings and drinking beer while watching football on a TV. What point do sports serve? What point does luxury reading serve? What point does clubbing?

>>720984969>A surrogate activity, a concept popularized by Ted Kaczynski, is an artificial, non-essential activity pursued for the sake of fulfillment and a sense of accomplishment, rather than for a necessary practical outcomeIt's even worse nowadays since feminism killed marriage and relationships.Average guy remains single well into his 30s, so video games are the only way to feel a sense of accomplishment.It's also why isekai is extremely popular these days.

>>720987362>someone who is not only alone, but expects they’ll always be alone
>>720984969Video games provide constant goals that are designed to be somewhat challenging but definitely achievable within a reasonable time frame. Real life sucks because you often need to do things but you're not sure how to do it or the road there seems insurmountable, the amount of positive feedback you get from activities is usually small whereas in video games there's usually always some low-effort activity you can do that results in a big +180 XP popup, a steadily filling progress bar and then a big show of fireworks when you level up, at least if you're playing RPGs. At their very core video games usually stimulate some desire for exploration, organization or progression, and they make the road there very easy to travel unlike similar ventures in real life.
>>720987353>books are mostly used as a medium to teach
>>720987362These look mostly fine? I prefer laying on an actual couch personally, but still. Dude must be well off if he can afford all this shit by himself
>>720984969Its just a bit of fun. You can be someone else for a little while, do shit you can't do in real life, be the star of a great adventure or action movie.I pity the retards who look down on video games, for their imagination truly is dead.
>>720987362Just sleeping on a mattress is probably shit for your back, since you don't have a headboard or sideboard for it you should put up some cover against the wall that's in contact with the bed, after a few years the wall is going to be greasy as fuck and discolored.

>>720984969>What is the point of video games?it is an alternate form of entertainment like watching TV and reading a book. nothing more.The sad part is loser believe it is a hobby, which it isn't.

Why do Americans, and I guess some Europeans, love carpets so much? It is genuinely kind of disgusting, smells weird and feels like a health hazard. I'm a southern hemispherefag so I can appreciate it's colder up there, but some nice hardwood floor should get the job done
Woman hate video games because its takes time away from the man they could be spending en entertaining her.Unfortunately many women have bean raised to not have hobbies and passions of their own only caring about having a husband and family so they literally dont know how to consume any form of entertainment other than social media and the husband being her own personal Cort jester till they have kids.

>>720988756anon it's perfectly fine to have your bed in the corner, especially if it's not backed by a window. You want a proper nightstand at least though.
>>720984969I play them for fun no different than other hobbiesstop being such a fag OP
>>720987964>>720988023Extra likelihood of having spiders and centipedes crawl on you
>>720984969Not sure. In hindsight most games aren't very good, but on the other hand being a wagie (and other aspects of life) suck as well so what can you do other than kill time? But from a pure dopamine point of view drugs and jerking off is superior.

>>720988490>>720988756If you're a bachelor it's completely fine imo, it just depends on which corner you're using and why it's there. For example, a loft bed over a desk is about as comfy a small-space arrangement as you can get and that basically necessitates being in a corner. You lose out on executive positioning but it's great for taking advantage of vertical space.>>720989047Not an issue if you're not flush against a window and have some space between your bedframe and the floor.
>>720988774it's cheap and you don't have to invest in better sound dampening/insulation. Americans in general are actual dogs that don't give a shit if they wear shoes on carpets too so go figure.>muh cold floorsinvest in a rug you savage

>>720984969Chasing a high you felt from your childhood days. Thinking that the next new title or remake of a game you once loved playing so much will replicate that exact feeling you had when you first discovered it. Only to find out that it's impossible to recreate that very same feeling. That's why you are never like: "Oh well, I've already played 100 different games I think I will quit vidya since I had my fill." You will never be satiated. And your next game will not be your last game.The ride never ends.
>>720989067Satisfaction and happiness come from being part of something greater than yourself, doing good and being healthy. Games should be second

>>720984969Playing games is a critical part of who we are. We use games to learn and to socialize. Our friends are nothing more than the people we play with.This is why if you are shut in, and the only thing you do is play games...alone...forever...you get fucking dpressed, because you are not making good use of your playing capacity.We are the homo ludens, the monkeys that play.

What I find much worse about his apartment is that he has so much fucking shit cluttering it up despite living alone.I'd lose everything except the bed (and replace that with a futon if he wants to sleep on the floor) and the desk. Throw out all the stupid decorations. And the bed should have its own room.
>>720984969>vertical monitor on the leftSchizo-coded
>>720987362he needs to sell most of those guitars and buy an actual bed. What the fuck.
>>720989650>>720989250Acting like this is some absolute is a blatant sign that your knowledge of the US comes from internet memes. 1/2 to 3/4 of households in the US report they take their shoes off indoors.

>>720990347>no earbuds or headphones on public transporthe deserved having a picture taken to be mocked
To be honest? At this point I’m well aware they are simply a pretty distraction.So when I don’t have time to go out with friends, or organize something sports related, etc., I just hop on a game for an hour or so if I feel I need a break.Over the years, there are less and less of them I consider “art”. I think the MGS3 remake highlighted this perfectly: as a teenager it was a game I considered great. I thought it was deep, emotional, and thought provoking. Now, I have a hard time watching it without cringing at parts. It’s still a fun game, but that’s all it is.

as you can see by this thread turning into a "let's judge this guy's bedroom" thread? there is no point. /v/ has long since subconsciously realized that video games cannot fill the need for significance in their life and thus slides ever deeper into crabbucketting as a way to prop themselves up in the absence of any mental health education

>>720991313For someone who isn’t concerned with material wealth you sure do act like a seething bitch about it.>>720991319His apartment merely suits his own minimal needs, so odds are that he has a fair sum of money if I can afford to indulge in his hobbies. Doesn’t make his environment look any less poor. Optics may not be an accurate representation of reality, but 9 times out of 10 it’s pretty close to the truth.
>>720984969Distraction and a waste of time I engage in because I got fucking nothign better to do. I am a 32 years old, kissless virgin neet, and my life is essentially over so all I have left is just playing games until I kick the bucket.
>>720991760>You must be secretly jealous!Yep, female-brained.
>>720991760his needs don't seem minimal, his apartment signals that he spends way too much money on junk he doesn't use and ignores things that would be good for him, like a functional bed. Anyway based on the title he is unhappy with the setup so I am not sure what the issue is.

>>720991913>32 years old >still giving a shit about being a kissless virginThe NEET part I can understand being ashamed of, but if you’re already that age and still whining about shit 19 year olds whine about then maybe it’s time to seek therapy for your arrested development.
>>720992103THIS, SO MUCH THISThis is how he ought to be living >>720989910
>>720992150You cannot be an adult and also be a virgin regardless of what you tell yourself
>>720992150I don't think it is abnormal to be unhappy about lacking any connections to other people, love and physical intimacy because those are basic human needs one doesn't suddenly lose as they age. Besides, there is no real reason to give a fuck about the future if you are never going to have a family of your own anyways. Without children, nothing you do in your life matters, and you might as well just die the next time you go to sleep and nothing in the world would be different, because there is nothing tethering you to other people or the future. Also, therapy is a fucking scam. I've been trough the whole shitshow of mental health circus, randing from taking pills, therapy, psychologist visits and even had my brains electrocuted all in vein attempts to help me and my depressive retard brain. Nothing worked, shit's irredeemably fucked for me.

>>720984969Unironically i had a pretty bad drugs and alcohol problem and i started playing a lot of No Man's Sky and got so into the game that i just stopped drinking and doing alcohol bc the game provided a good source of keeping me busy and happy so i was satisfied and didnt need the substances. not even joking. they even have NMS in psychwards for patients to play because the game is so "relaxing" in terms of its beauty and the surprise of exploring and that "suspense of not knowing what you'll see next thats screenshot worthy" gaming to me helped me overcome what literally kills some people in life. drugs and alcohol are the big bad. gaming basically saved me.

Vinegar, baking soda, dishwashing soap, water, sponges, microfiber cloths, a few generic empty spray bottles, a mop, broom, bucket, rubber gloves, and some kind of sanitizer (Clorox + bleach does the trick fine) costs you maybe $40 and I wouldn't doubt you have some of that already. If you've got shitty airflow or few windows, get a respirator too for another $20. Glue traps and a bug bomb for whatever you've inevitably got crawling around in there aren't too much either.Fixing the house is another matter, but depending on what's wrong with it you can DIY a fair amount for far cheaper than you'd have to hire a contractor for. Furniture can always be thrifted or bought for cheap on secondhand marketplaces and estate sales if you're in a populated area too.The main thing you need isn't money, it's elbow grease.
>>720992409>What causes them to think everything has to have a purpose related to professional growth, making money or having relationships?Because anything that doesn't directly correlate towards the production and maintenance of wealth is meaningless. If you aren't actively producting for yourself or someone else you might as well not exist.

>>720987179>>720987254>>720987307>>720987362This is pretty basic single male living. I wouldn't expect more or less. Uncle and this guys family need to get off his back. Meanwhile I have anime tits all over my apartment.
>>720992497that's legit impressive (minus that block with the sink in the middle)
>>720992824>I wouldn't expect more or less.I would expect far less given the current economic climate. People can barely afford to live in a car that isn't theirs over a one bedroom unit that has virgin vibes written all over it.
>>720992345>30 years old>not an adult That’s not how it works in the real world.>>720992402>therapy didn’t help >pills didn’t workWorks on my machine.
>>720992924Exactly. Guy is doing pretty good for himself. Don't know what he's upset about other than, I guess, disappointing his family.
modern men are all trannies>eww whats that decor>wow who the hell wears those shoes?!>you don't have an iphone?! ewwww>really? THAT brand????it's unreal
>>720992543Not quite the same situation but I got into the bad habit of drinking nightly after a bad/sudden breakup. Just recently I've been playing SF6 every night and I don't have the habit to reach for that can of beer or whiskey bottle while I am doomscrolling or watching baseball. Obviously videogames can be detrimental to your life like many other things, but they can also be beneficial and break you out of bad habits or focus on something that is less harmful than what you are doing.
>>720992497>all the dust and shit that will accumulate on top of the shelves>the trypophobia lightsI envy the idiots with more money than sense
>>720993061>disappointing his family That shit can really mess you up if you don’t have a way to ground yourself. Family members really know how to make you feel worthless if you don’t measure up to their standards, though more often than not it’s because they refuse to either understand or accept who you are as an individual.
>>720993221or, his uncle told him something he already knew deep down was true.
>>720992931>That’s not how it works in the real world.Yes it is. Tell any normalfag that you are a virgin at 30, they will consider you to be less than an adult regardless of whatever the other circumstances of your life are. Clearly not a child, but still not an adult either.

CRTV is nice but to anyone currently sleeping on just a mattress, do yourself a favor and get some sort of frame. Even if it's just a platform to raise you off the floor a bit, your back will thank you
>>720993221>>720993358So what's a man to do in this situation? Redecorate with love, laugh, love signs? I will say the plants and maybe a window would help.
>>720993506They want you to find a partner, or alternatively, stop wasting oxygen

He can even keep the terminator and conan posters (although they're a little too high).
>>720993506what is it with live, laugh, and love signs with you retards. adding it does not change the shitty furniture layout of the apartment
>>720993667If he's alone and no one likes people who are alone how is he supposed to stop being alone? That makes no sense. I swear people just luck out with finding a partner and suppose the same happens randomly to other people.
>>720993358>deep downUsually shit like that hurts because it *isn’t* true but there’s no way you can explain that to people who don’t “get it”. >>720993394Anon, people in their 30s have got a lot more to worry about than who is or isn’t a fucking virgin lmao. The only thing more immature than being a virgin at that age is giving someone a hard time about it. By the time someone is 30, they should know that life doesn’t work as ideally as you’d expect for 99% of people.
>>720984969It's art and entertaimment, like movies, tv shows, paintings, music etc.
>>720993506>what’s a man to doLive his fucking life and not care about what his uncle thinks unless he has something useful to say about it.
>>720987254>>720987362>no bedframe, mattress just directly on the floor>single person recliner in front of the tv instead of a couchI agree that this place basically screams "I'm not expecting to have company over"
>>720990554Yes, listen to a sociopath, this will end well for you.
>>720994018I mean his uncle is kind of right. That layout is shit. But hey if you want to eat yourself to death or get shot by cops then you're free to do, you're an adult anyways.
>>720993902Normalfags are cruel, and if you fail to measure up to what they deem to be the "standards" of normality (which does include losing your virginity & having at least some romantic experience before you turn 30), they will judge you for it.
>>720994089He was a rich. Come to think of it a surprising number of rich people act like socipaths.They must be doing something right.
>>720994153>you're free to do, you're an adult anyways.Right, that’s exactly the fucking point. Unless the OP in question is genuinely miserable because his ridiculous consumerist lifestyle feels completely empty, then he’s got no reason to feel bad about it.
>>720994295he does feel bad about it. He posted because he wants to change his living situation

Not one single person I have interacted with has ever wanted to know about my sex life except for my closest friends. 99% of normalfags are polite and cordial because that’s how everyone who wasn’t raised by literal psychos is trained to act by everyone around them.

single people introduce a fundamental anxiety and dread in married people for some reason. particularly bachelor men make people uneasy.
>Why do we like video games?My favourite games usually have some management or logic aspect to them, so I think a big part of it is that I really enjoy the mental challenge of optimizing logistics and solving problems of that nature. I also tend to enjoy RPGs and horror, I think this is where my enjoyment of good stories with specific themes come into play. Because I find an overlap between those games and the literature I usually enjoy. I don't enjoy movies much, but love literature and vidya, I quite like model kit assembly and board games, so I think I have a preference for hobbies that let me indulge in my thematic preferences in a hands-on way or by stimulating my imagination, vidya is very good at that.>What point do video games serve in our lives?Unwinding after work, fun things are fun, and human beings need fun times in small doses to get through the tough times. On a more personal note, I work in trades, it's a very physical job, the mental aspect to it is not demanding even at its most complex stages. I think a game that genuinely stimulates your head to find solutions for new problems is a necessity for someone in my position. When I had an office job, I felt the need to constantly exercise, so it's the same dynamic but reversed.

>>720995365It is kind of strange how it seems that being in a relationship changes the way the person acts towards his single friends.My friend who got into a relationship last year has begun preaching all this self improvement and "encouraging" shit towards me, outright telling me that I ought to find a girlfriend to get some structure in my life. He fucking knows that I am loser incel so a lot of his "advice" feels like just thinly disguised mockery and yeering at me.
>>720995725>My friend>I am loser incelYou are a normalfag in denial. Only the friendless can be incels.
>>720995725In all likelihood he’s probably just so exhilarated with his life that he wants to share his happiness with you. Unless he’s a genuine sadist, it’s unlikely that he would be interested in making you feel like any more of a loser than you already are.

>>720995725married men do a lot better than single men in a variety of metrics relating to income and health. seems like having a woman and kids to provide for triggers something in the male lizard brain that causes him to IMPROOOOOOVE, at least most of the time.
>>720995808Nothing about being a kissless virgin means that you can't have friends.>>720995870That is the cheritable interpretation of his actions.>>720995973Well, having a woman in your life and thus the prospect of family does give you some actual reason to give a fuck about your future beyond base hedonism and ensuring the basic comforts of life.
>>720995973I mean, being healthy and wealthy are usually pre-requisites to being a candidate for marriage. It’s unlikely for someone to break the habits involved in reaching that point to begin with.
>>720991242>this looks like the apartment of somebody who never has sex>REEEE why are you afraid of loners?you are just agreeing with the uncle
>>720988305And that's a bad thing? Fuck parasites, if you're not bringing women over why the fuck would you bring cocks over? No thanks
>>720996075>Well, having a woman in your life and thus the prospect of family does give you some actual reason to give a fuck about your future beyond base hedonism and ensuring the basic comforts of life.i agree, most men need the pre packaged reason to live that is a family. few are strong enough to truly flourish flying solo.
>>720996075>charitableLike I said, most people aren’t assholes to their friends on purpose. It’s because you already have a toxic interpretation of reality that you would assume your friend expressing his happiness to you would be a dig at your character.

>>720996262>expressing his happinesEven if it is that, I still don't really care to fucking hear about his happines let alone his advice towards me given that he has no fucking perspective to my life and the lonelines I've felt troughout my entire existence. Unlike me, that dude has had previous relationships, and during them he didn't act like this towards me so I don't get why he has to bring that shit up now.Him telling me that he wants to make me the godfather to his future children just feels like a gutpunch because I sure as fucking hell don't want to be in that role especially if I'll never have kids of my own. I'd rather just cut off people with families out of my life than sit at the sidelines as the childless loner, the thought of it already makes me sick.
>>720996342I find it hard to believe that such a thing is possible, but assuming that it is, I’d have to say that it’s either that the person in question 1) overestimates their wealth/health, 2) has an insufferable personality that not even a gold digger can overlook, or 3) is very unlucky. Might even be a combination of those things.It’s hard for women to ignore a man who is healthy and wealthy.
>>720995640Thank you for reading my blog friend
Let's say the guy does do something about his place, or worse, gets married. He goes from having a whole place for himself to getting the cuck closet.
>>720996682Maybe you should tell him that? Tell him that you find his happiness to be a dig at you and that you’d rather he doesn’t mention it.
>>720987362The carpet is ugly and furniture is looks like any random trash that he happened to find for free on craigslist rather than any consistent theme. No bedframe. It's technically "decorated" but it's just looks cluttered, too much stuff on wall in boring configuration, not a single shelf. Doesn't look like he ever opens any of the windows. No plants, at least put a fake one somewhere.I'm a 33yo virgin and my house looks better.
>>720984969>What is the point of video games?Entertainment, you dense idiot
>>720996786more like man nook lmao
>>720996786His house is already like a giant cuck closet. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.
>>720984969Once upon a time, it was a fun nerdy way to escape the bullshit of reality Now it's a serious heckin art form for casuals and specfags
>>720995725Sounds like your friend wants you to suffer with him.
>>720994502There was a YouTube video with a guy solo traveling in a van showing off how he plays games on his Asus Rog. The loneliness was so fucking palpable it permeated the space.
>>720996829I don't think that there is a way to voice my gripes to him in a way that is not offensive to him or damaging to our friendship.
>>720984969Honestly? Because life can be very mundane and boring at times, even if you are winning in life. On the other hand, win too hard, and you are bound to end up having a heart attack, broken body, stds, be in jail, or found dead in multiple places.Vidya is a safe powerfantasy trip that allows you to explore things you cant actually do in life

>>720995365>enkidu gambitIt's because society and woman need men, men do not inherently need either and if enough opt out society collapses which is very, very bad for the GFP, banks, government and financial institutions
>>720996682Sounds like you're a jealous little bitch. The more common complaint about friends getting into relationships is that they become a boring drag to be around. Not your situation, you're lashing out because your friend's happiness makes you feel wretched, and instead of solving your own problems, or just being happy for your friend, you choose to interpret his actions in the worst possible light. He is not a bad friend, you are, and you deserve to be alone.
is this battlestation thread?
>>720997292Demoralization thread.
>>720997064NTA but just going "I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm in a bit of a rough place at the moment and I feel pressured by/stressed about the advice you're giving since I'm not ready to take those steps" is the usual way you go about that kinda thing. You can't really get around implying it's temporary even if it isn't, but you can get the point across decently enough.
Because they’re cool. That’s all there is to it. I can’t even adventure and kill monsters with giant nuclear swords, what’s the point?
>>720997064Yeah, maybe you’re right. But it’s also your duty to establish boundaries in a friendship. If he gets upset about it and you two can never recover from it, then you didn’t have much of a friendship to begin with.I’ve severely damaged a lot of my friendships with being selfishly, brutally honest while drunk to them without provocation. And sure, I feel bad about it. But the ones I really care about and who care about me as well have stuck around because they understand that it isn’t *them* that has a problem— it’s *me*. It took me a while to come to terms with that, and I’m still picking up the pieces. But I’m a better person for it. Sounds like you’ll get there one way or another. But just know that establishing boundaries is a very important part of any relationship, friendship or otherwise. Your friend would rather you speak up than you slowly growing to hate him due to your cowardly nature.

>>720992497This shit reminds me of the kitchen in a friend's house. The previous owner thought he could design it himself and did things like putting the breaker box behind the fridge, which he then framed in to a specific size that would require only custom installs at any later date. So not only did they need to buy an extra expensive custom fridge when the first died, if they need to kill power to a room they have to pull it out.

I'm lonely as fuck and I don't need reminders of it every time he invites me over to drink or whatever. Cutting out people from my life that remind me of my own loneliness is the only way I have been able to solve this sort of issue in the past.>>720997387>>720997432Disguising the resentiment I have towards him under diplomatic platitudes would probably not really work. I am however too cowardly to just tell him to fuck off.>>720997547He keeps inviting me to do shit. On some level I would be probably fine with just fading out of his life but he seems to like me far more than I like him at this point. I am ultimately very introverted and prone to hermit behavior, he is the person who kind of dragged me out to socialize with him and other people and it is trough him I have my little social circle.When I turned 30 I kind of just conceeded to the reality that my life was over and there was nothing left in this world to me so my friend's recent "encouragements" of trying to get my shit together and find a girflriend etc is not really appreciated.
>>720987362the posters, no bedframe and the single person couch are the biggest issues, also the choice of decoration, WHY the fuck is there an anatomy poster above the pc? and a fucking map on the kitchen? but despite that the place looks cool, lacks color and the mentioned before but its not unsalvageable
>>720984969The same as TV or movis or books or hobbiesIt's fun!Don't you enjoy the feeling you get when you finish a game? or then the one you get from having a good time playing with your friends or family or just by yourself?The gameplay could be addictive or you could really enjoy the characters and world or maybe you just really like the way it looks!I get that it's hard to grasp for some people but games were meant to make you have fun on a summer afternoon playing games on your CRT from the comfort of your living room!And that hasn't changed.

>>720984969>you're a virgin if you don't cover your home in useless dust collecting decorationsAnd here I am considering throwing out my tv and sofa because I never use them
>muh mattress on the floorit's a futon retards.
>>720998225If you’re jealous then stop being a faggot and try to get a girlfriend. You sound like a depressed bitch and quite pathetic desu.
>>720998662>AstolfoOh shit, you're right.
>>720987362>>720987307>>720987254>>720987179literally all he gotta do is paint the walls and get bed slats and maybe change that ugly metal-looking drawer next to his old TVI like the posters and the instruments on the wall tho they give the place personality! the main issue here is just the lack of colour really otherwise... cozy home!
>>720998739>If you’re jealous then stop being a faggot and try to get a girlfriend. You sound like a depressed bitch and quite pathetic desu.I'm 32 years old kissless virgin m8. It is fucking over for me already and trying to find a gf at this age is far more pathetic than just giving up. There is more dignity in resignation to one's fate than in a desperate and futile struggle to obtain something you'll never fucking get.
>>720998692that doesn't make it better.it's not good to sleep close to the floor
>>720998854Women these days aren’t even worth it. I’d say you dodged a bullet.
>>720998854nota and haven't read any of your repliesjust literally b urself
You’re supposed to roll up your floor futon every morning because that’s how you get mold
>>720998859>it's not good to sleep close to the floorIt literally is. Especially if you're a back sleeper.
>>720985562MOMMY MILKY
>>720998930Thank u mr bee
>>720998937why do japanese beds mold when western ones don't
>>720998225Just cut all contact. You've obviously given up on being a friend just like you've given up on everything else.
Why do we exist? What is the point of doing anything in life? Nobody knows. Shut up and play videogames.
>>720998930>notanta*>>720998980np man
>>720998854The recruiters love a lost cause. They don't even need to bury let alone retrieve you for postage.
>>720998854Just hire an escort and stop worrying about the past
>>720998854I don’t know what is more pathetic, that you think of yourself this way (you’re probably just a normal guy with a really bad attitude) or you think of women as these unattainable goddesses you are not worthy of.
>>720984969They used to make time go by quickly when I was a lonely depressed teenagerNow I'm an adult and they help to make time slow down and remove the anxiety of leading a successful busy life Time is zany like thatI think most people get lost in the change and think they are jaded because they can only play for 20 minutes at a time before calling it, but those 20 minutes feel eternal and that's a blessing they don't yet understand
>>720998692I don't think it is. I'd be willing to accept he's a weeb and doing that on purpose if there were any other indication it's meant to be a Japanese style room, but there's none.Also >>720998937 I'm pretty sure you are supposed to hide them and futon is largely a space saving thing.
>>720998961whatever you say floor-sleeper
>>720998692A futon is still a mattress and you're still not supposed to put it on carpet.Futons are designed to be moved off the floor during the day and regularly aired out which the guy in OP definitely isn't doing.>>720998983Western ones do.
>>720998854>trying to find a gf at this age is far more pathetic than just giving up. There is more dignity in resignation to one's fate than in a desperate and futile struggle to obtain something you'll never fucking get.Cuck mentality
>>720998526It's a canvas print of the Jaws movie poster.The little blanket under my fan came from my mother because apparently if it has sharks then I fucking love it....Which happens to be 100% correct.
I honestly don't believe an uncle would give a shit about the decor of a room. That's a woman brain thing.
>>720998854You're seriously 32 and acting like this? Well, it's no wonder you don't have a gf. You sound like a complete asshole lmao.
>>720998983Because bed frames provide airflow to the mattress so it won’t happen
>>720999121>Futons are designed to be moved off the floor during the day and regularly aired outnot if you live somewhere dry. i used to sleep on a futon and never bothered. i live in nevada though.
>>720996673enjoy roaches crawling all over you at night
>>720997921the question is where do you think YOU are. you've convinced yourself that everyone here is as much of a loser as you, and so you don't need to try. In reality, many of us have good jobs with loving wives and families, and still have time to play vidya everyday and shitpost on /v/
>>720987179>>720987254>>720987307>>720987362Other then the carpet, seems pretty cozy
>>720999128NTA, but at that age the options are some roastie single mother and that would really be a cuck move.
>>720999234Clean your house and don't leave food around you disgusting mong
>>720999141they dont actually give a shit about the designthey just know he gets no game and will probably die alone if he keeps living like this

I hate women so much
>>720987179>>720987254>>720987307>>720987362This is literally peak as long as you have a bedframe. It's pathetic but it's peak.
>>720999270>32 years to build wealth >only options are single mom I would kms
>>720998512Maybe women should get off their high pedestals and talk to men.
>>720999308>they just know he gets no game and will probably die alone if he keeps living like thisSociety can foot that bill. One more for the paupers grave.
>>720999268The carpet is pretty bad, it's ugly and it makes it look old.
>>720999308If you have a place of your own and a steady income it's so fucking easy to get laid. At the very LEAST you can hire an "escort" online.
>>720994854Bullshit. How?
>>720999270You dont know what your options are if you never go lookingTheres a lot of people in the world anon
>>720999198>NevadaThat'd do it.
>>720999140Handsome!
retarded demoralization thread
>>720999464It's never about getting laid. That's femoid reasoning.It's about love.
>>720999018I don't live in muttistan, and I went trough conscription already well over a decade ago.>>720999028I don't give a shit about sex, I can satisfy my sexual urges by myself just fine. I'm lonely, not sexually frustrated. The idea of paying for sex disgusts me.>>720999042My experience simply is that women are not interested in me romantically. Every time I have though that there may have been a budding relationship between me and a chick, I have been proven wrong or rebuffed or I have somehow ruined the moment. It would be easier to understand if I was hideous or some turbo fatass but that has never been the case. My guess is that I am just too socially awkward and spergy.
>>720999268oh yeah carpet and walls idk which one would be easier to change tho you'd have to move stuff regardless
>>720999594>It's about love.
>>720999403Men who are afraid of being humiliated aren't allowed to have sex because sex in and of itself can be humiliating. The fact that this barrier of entry is so massive for most guys makes it so that it's like shooting fish in a barrel for shameless men.
>>720998854>>720999270>giving up at 32Anon...
>>720988114yea 20 years ago
>>720999549Y-you too...
>>720999234>Admitting to having roaches.Wtf
>>720984969they are (sometimes) well-crafted digital toys that have a lot of care and effort put into them. Interacting with such a product and getting the neurons firing and almonds activating is a pleasant pastime, but ultimately one must take care to not fall into a black hole of wasted time with little enjoyment to show for it.I only play videogames for the mechanical stimulation nowadays, when I want to take my mind off my projects. I've been playing PlateUp solo recently. I'm having a good time but my wrists are beginning to hurt.
>>720999668Having sex is only fun if you're good at it.Or you don't care about being bad at it.I'm the latter.
>>720987179how much does he pay for that apartment(?)
>>720999669Why the fuck shouldn't I give up? There is no recovering from missing out on all the formative steps of adulthood. What waits me in the future is nothing but a lifetime of continued loneliness until I finally perish and am freed from this existence.
>>720984969>GuitarsVirgin? Do they serious think that?
>>720992497>So from right to left are the cabinets you can use while standing, and here at the door are the cabinets you need a small stool for, and the cabinets just to the left of the door you'll need a ladder for, and for the cabinets above the stove, here's the phone number for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar so he can grab whatever you need from there.
>>720999836Grim
>>720984969I can't speak to this as a basic truth but it's my own experience. It's escapism. That's the only reason I've played and beat more games than any human being I've met. It wasn't about fun. It wasn't about addiction. It was about putting my mind on anything other than the rumination loop I was stuck in for over three decades. Thankfully I don't need it anymore. It's just a behavior pattern at this point. It's easier to play games than to not. I have never met a mentally healthy person that beats a lot of video games.
>>720994854sleeping on the ground is guaranteed to correct everything wrong with your back and hips
>>720999836You should live out of spite and endeavor to make the lifes of all normalfags forced to deal with you as miserable as possible within your control
>>720999836Spite.
>>720999594>loveNot that I don't appreciate that, but love is something that takes years to cultivate. Anon has no reason to bitch about sexual inferiority if he's got the resources to just get it over with. >>720999645I have a pretty similar view to yours and a lot of it stems from oneitis. But if you have money and a place of your own, then the bottom line is that you aren't putting enough effort into meeting women, which is like shooting yourself in the foot considering how obviously it affects your general disposition.
>>721000009>Sleeping on the ground is guaranteed to correct everything wrong with your back and hipsThis is 100% correct.I slept on a tiled room with only a blanket under me for 9 months and my back had never felt better.
>>720998692Japs really sleep on the floor and see no issue with it lmao, buncha savages
>>720999515there are no optionsmy brother has had to settle with a roastie with and her atrocious kids (they are quite the cunts)all that effort and struggle to build a business, become the big boss and for what? here's your reward - used goods
>>720999836get a hobbymy reason for wanting to live is to make more things with my own two hands. it has never been easier to get into the act of creation than in current year, I suggest you pick a lane and see what it feels like to bring something to life.
>>721000316>all that effort and struggle to build a business, become the big boss and for what? here's your reward - used goodsBecoming a better man was never meant to be a rewarding experience.
>>720999397>>720999515Normal people are not single at that age. People marry late but that's because they stay engaged and cohabitating for years until they finally organize the wedding. Decent people are long locked down in a long term relationship. What's left is failures who couldn't hold down any relationship and/or were dumped and have some sort of baggage.What's left for man failures is woman failures. It's just that woman failures look different because usually someone will be willing to put up with them to fuck them so they aren't virgins or stay single for very long.

The only person I truly hate is myself, I don't really have the energy to be spiteful towards random strangers.>>721000228I have tried to find a gf in the past, I even used fucking dating apps but the common experience I had across all of my attempts is that the bottom line is that women just don't find me romantically interesting. I may qualify as a friend and an acquitance but no woman I have ever met has actually had even lingering crush on me.>>721000357I have hobbies, I play videogames, draw shit and collect miniatures. Nerd bs but those are the few remaining joys I have in my life.
>>721000407Your entire worldview is based on optics lmao. It's like you don't have an actual sense of self.
>>721000474>that game will never become a realityI've stopped giving a shit at this point.

edgy 16yolds in my boomer board
>>720984969I think it's different depending on the individual.For me, it's because I've always been mildly depressed and I like mentally escaping into immersive fantasies where I actually have control over what happens. In video games I get to immerse myself in a world where I'm actually important, and the things happening are exciting, or at the very least make some kind of sense.In real life, I'm nobody. Not only am I disgusting peasant, but so is everybody. Even the richest man on the planet is a fucking manchild. Everyone is ugly, inside and out, and in addition to that everything is also completely pointless and absurd.When I play video games the alarm bells in my brain that tell me how fucking horrible the world is stop ringing.This is why I prefer immersive sims and RPGs. Whatever the fuck can maximally take me away on a journey is what I like. If I can forget for a few hours that I'm on Earth, that's the ideal.
>>721000716You are not broken down yet. It does not matter what you think. This is not about you.
>>721000634>women just don't find me romantically interestingDo you have any idea why this could be the case? There are a lot of traits a man can have that would make him interesting to a woman, even traits that make no sense to the average person. Do you do anything at all that could be described as "attractive"?
>>720999836>I've tried nothing and im all out of ideas!kwab
>>720999836My mother turned me into a misogynist (well almost) and convinced to never marry. I don't care if she's sad.My sister (who I quite like, this is the almost) was also affected by my parents' shitty relationship and she would be sad though.
>>721000828It's all about me tho for I am the center of my universe and honestly it couldn't be more awesome
>>721000684With GPT there's basically no excuse except a lack of initiative. I've got a few ideas that I've been dragging my feet on executing for some time now, and GPT helped frame them in a way that makes them seem entirely doable. All I have to do now is buckle down and get a demo released.
>>721000905My guess is that I am too spergy and socially awkward. I don't know how to flirt or go with the flow of situations, my socialization tends to be stilted and kind of cold because I probably am genuinely fucking autistic or someshit. >>721000931Who the fuck said I've tried nothing? It is the past decade of all of my attempts at course correcting my life failing that finally led me to giving up.
>>721000407Where do you live to have such coping experience. I would kms if I’m living there
>>721001010>GPT helped frame them in a way that makes them seem entirely doableanon...it was most likely just gassing you up. coming up with a plan and actually executing on it are two entirely different things.
some of you are in the need of a mid-lif crisisgo to a club, dress up funny, learn music, get a bike or join a band or something
>>721001010You have no idea how spiteful GW is when it comes to IP protection. AI sloppa is not exempt from their faggotry and I wouldn't give the angloid cunts the satisfaction of sending the letter out.

>>721001151chatgpt aint for gamedevif you really want ai to help you then just ask claudehe actually explains you what each thing mean so you can actually learn instead of just having it do it for youtho ofc if you want it to do it for you... you can... but it could be messy.
>>721001109Do you work out? Do you have money? Are you funny? Do you dress well? Do you have good hygiene? Are you tall? Are you handsome? Are you educated? Do you have a place of your own? Do you have a car?You don't need all of these to be attractive, but having a few of them can make a world of difference. If you have none of them AND you're socially inept, then yes-- you have quite a lot of room for improvement. Giving up means you have no fucking excuse to bitch about your misery and should seek therapy ASAP.
>>721001109I can tell you can be a very good manipulator if you are willing to catfish online. If close relationship is what you only want.

>join a club>learn an instrument>go to therapy
>>721001530Broad shoulder fixes 99% of the issue you presented
>>721001151>gassing you upI already know this, and frankly I don't care. Whether it's blowing smoke up my ass or not, having a vote of confidence that also helps me organize the scattered thoughts that comes with gamedev is about all the help I could hope for. Also, it helps you with the step-by-step process of literally everything. That doesn't mean you can rely on it to get the job done for you, but as a supportive companion when you don't have one elsewhere, it's indispensable. >>721001273I have no idea what you're getting at with this.
>>721000664I don't know a single 30+, single woman without "mother" following it. I don't know any guy of that age range that is not in a long term relationship.Maybe this is my social class/bubble but even in a "nerdy" industry everyone has families. Normies gonna normie and loners and "incels" are actually pretty rare to see in the wild.
>>721001583or join a band

>>721001630I got those but i'm still super skinny and that's the main issue
>>721001512Nothing I said is even remotely profound-- it's just par for the course. If you can't compete with any of those things, then obviously no female is going to take you seriously.
>>721001801Good thing the healthcare system is shit so I won't make it through the first night.
>>720999836death is like sleeping without dreaming, you wont even know about it. your fear of making people sad wont even exist after you die because you wont be alive to feel fear. do you understand the nothingness on the otherside after killing yourself?you wont float around like a youtube watcher seeing how others see you or shit like thateven on a scientific level and even if there was a soul what the fuck is keeping the soul on earth? you know the earth is constantly traveling, right? you know our solar system is too constantly traveling? even if there was a soul by the time you fucking registered you died the earth would be so fucking far away since gravity isnt a thing for you anymorei say do it
>>721001770that's literally the spirit, anonyou got it!
>>721001767Anyway, going to the club won't change anything.The cliques are already formed. You are set dressing.
>>721001371>Do you work out?Not anymore>Do you have money? State gibs and alms from my folks as I am a jobless neet.> Are you funny?Probably not. I am not much of a jokester.>Do you dress well?Decently enough I guess, it's not like I go out in rags. I plain, simple clothes that fit me and fit the season because beyond that I don't really care about the look of the clothes I wear.>Do you have good hygiene?Yes, I'm not some troglodyte or a smash player. I shower, wash my teeth, shave and what not every day, and cut my hair every other month.> Are you tall?180cm aka king of manlets.>Are you handsome? Im average. Some people have commented that I look like the dude that plays frodo in lotr but I don't really appreciate the comparison.>Are you educated?University dropout. >Do you have a place of your own? I'm a rentoid.>Do you have a car?No, but most people here my age don't have a car because the public transport works so well. I do have driver's licence so the lack of car is more of a lack of need for it thing.>>721001437What?
>>721001640The thing is that you're letting these observations of yours cloud the fact that they basically have nothing to do with *you* as an individual. What worked for others didn't work for you. Considering yourself to bea failure because of it is... well, it's just stupid. Plain and simple.
>>721001906the idea of ceasing to exist is still scary, dummy
>>721001962Well it will change one thing, entrance isn't free and you're certainly not staying there without buying anything.
>>720987179I don’t understand why people willingly use these bright ass hospital vibe light bulbs. This guy just needs yellower bulbs and 90% of the problem is fixed. A light with yellow hue instantly makes any space feel more livable and comfortable. White lights are a drain to the soul and anytime I visit someone who uses them in their homes I sense they’re a sociopath

>>721002045>What?it's an ESL tranny trying to convince you to groom kids on discord.
>>721001314And it was wrong, a very stupid thing to say.
>>721001962whats so bad about going to a place full of music to drink and enjoy said music?Sounds like you just don't want to do it and therefore nobody else should do it.
>>720987179I kinda like that stove It has a sort of charm
>>721001906I know that once I die I won't be able to give a fuck about the pain my suicide would cause in my folks. It is the knowledge that it would cause pain for them that keeps me from doing it because I do not want to hurt the few people in my life that actually care about me.
>>721000634>Spite towards whom?Everything and everyone. That will in turn open your mind to reality of the fact that people that you idolize are just as fucked up and miserable as you, if not more so. The more spiteful you will become, the more entertaining everything else will seem. All will become a cause for celebration whenever you feel like it, and every misery or loss, yours or someone elses, a cause to laugh.
>>721001962I'm going mostly because the entry is cheap. Two hours of listening some dudes blowing brass for half the price of a movie ticket. Can't even get a toothless blowjob from a crackwhore for the same amount spent.
>>720984969Almost identical, just a better tv and replace all those guitars with two small book shelves,
>>720985856>Why do we like video games?>Because they are enjoyable
>>721002187Because I've been there. I've been everywhere.
>>721002062yeah, its baked into out genetics to fight to stay alive. but one day you will run into financial trouble on top of not having much reason to stay alive.humans live to what, 65ish years on average?18-22ish of those years are spent learning40ish of those years are spent workingand if you are lucky, get 5-10 years to be free after your body and mind is used up>>721002217that wont exist once you goand two, love does not last forever. most parents are happy their kids get out because holy fuck they gave up 20+ years to raise someone when they coulda used that time for themselves in some form
>>720984969Human beings strive to waste time, just because we can. The idea of work is just as much a spook.
>>720984969Why not?The older we become the less important everything else is. Once you realize you're here to have a good time, the kind of hobby you do doesn't matter. Golf, stamp collecting, video games; doesn't matterIt does matter though if it interferes in your daily life shit. If you're broke and borderline homeless because you spend too much time on vidya, then yeah
>>720984969If you let gaming be a platform for socialization (ex: going to LAN tournaments/parties, cybercafes, conventions, even just standard couch co-op or versus) you are objectively doing better and having more of a valid reason to do it as opposed to someone that uses it to substitute a lack of socialization.I think the point of it is to experience it but there are a lot of people that use it as a coping mechanism for lack of other experiences, and that's when you get into the "waste of time" aspect of it.
GUYS I GET ITBUY A BOAT!!! GO SAILING!!! thats kinda my dream... like a little sailboat is fine but i always wanted to have a cool small ship-house to sail about! I'm only 21 but I already know that's where my retirement money is going for sure!!
>>721002245Hope you really like music.Bring some ear plugs, those brass pipes get loud even without amps.
>>721002045>university dropout>i am a jobles neetThen that basically makes you a low-value male. No conventionally attractive woman with any sense should be dating a guy who is a jobless NEET, regardless of whether he's physically attractive or has a great personality. Your best chances are with women who have very low self-esteem and even then, they're likely to jump ship unless you can provide them with warmth and comfort they can't find elsewhere. I'm amazed that you'd have the gall to expect anything else lol.
>>721002507I didn't have any luck with women even when I was in university. Me being undesirable to chicks has been a constant troughout my entire life, even since I was a teenager.

>>720995016????
>>720984969For me its an escape from this shit world and keeps me sane.If it was not for the games i would be out killing people left and right like a serial killer.

>>720987353No, most books are womens smut. Out of Non-fiction the majority of that is get rich quick scheme stuff, and the minority is heavily fictionalized thriller stuff. Only a very small 2% of book sales is anything substantive, and that's including highbrow nonfiction, and required reading for courses.
>>721000474DD2 turned out to be shit. New Tony Hawk games vary from good remakes of old games to bad remakes of old games to shitty sequels. The only good new Resident Evil games are remakes of 20 years old games, and I'm still not convinced 9 will fix anything.Bully 2 never ever. Half-Life 3 and E3 never fucking ever, and I don't give a single fuck about Half-Life without Laidlaw anyway.Supergiant hasn't made a single game I liked as much as Bastion, and Hades 2 looks more like an AI-generated LGBT+ propaganda joke than a real game.New Quake, if it will ever be made, will be as shit as nu-Doom games. And so does new Doom games.New Dungeon Keeper? Are you not horny enough yet?Silent Hill made by Team Silent and without a big publisher exclusively for japanese market?Warcraft game not made by Blizzard?Beyond Good & Evil 2 made by Ancel but not by Ubisoft?Oni sequel maybe?What "game" will be released someday? Some Northern Journey or LocoRoco sequel is the most fucking realistic thing of all those games I listed.There's nothing. I'll stick with >>720999836 option.
Society is so fucked, I'm a 35 multimillionaire and I still live with my parents because I want nothing to do with society anymore
>>721002575You had a chance to make yourself desirable by finishing your degree and getting a respectable job. Failing classes isn't a good look, anon. Women in the academic setting aren't attracted to the underachiever who never shows up to class.

>>720992497I hate americans.

>>721001231while you are right i got depression for longer than i remember >already go to the club>already dress up funny>want to learn to make some dj shitbike is too expensive but i got my license 8 years ago so i could drive oneonly thing i'm working is a book and my youtube channels but both things are hard to do just like anything i must do for myself
>>721002750That's the spirit
>>721002507>>721002575Also, where did I say that I expect any woman to be interested in me especially at this point? I said that it was fucking over for me didn't I? I've given up because rationally, there is no point in trying anymore, the race is over, the train has left the station. If my life was a game, I'd be rebooting/rerolling the character now.>>721002779That is not how shit went for me in the university. I did attend classes and almost finished my degree however mental health issues, chiefly depression fucked me over, along with the pandemic which made all the lectures etc over zoom. I just lost the will to keep up because it all seemed utterly pointless and caused me nothing but stress for no gain.
>>721002062Annihilation is scarier than eternal hellfire because an eternity of pain can be rationalized with universal concepts. An eternity of pain can be imagined, rationalized, and understood. However annihilation, true nothingness, total ceasing of existence, is completely incomprehensible to a living mind. Nothingness cannot be imagined by a being which exists as something, so anyone saying it the idea comforts them is a normie idiot who probably hasn’t really ever pondered it. The concept of annihilation is what truly puts the fear of God into someone. Annihilation is not akin sleep, it is not akin to slumber, or rest. It is the END. of EVERYTHING which the mind and universe is born from. Annihilation is a cosmic horror.

>>721002901>Filipino womenI'm sorry.
>>721002054I genuinely don't understand what you are getting at. I'm saying dating prospects after 30 are shit. Like okay I used pretty negatively charged words, but even if you reframe the situation that being a wizard is not bad and you are walking your own path in life or something the conditions are not actually going to change. You might be happier not thinking of yourself as a loser and that's fair, but if you still want a partner you will have to confront the market in the end.
>>720984969Should just move the bed to be central focus in the room. But I’ve known many absolute sluts with this layout.
>>721002779Not that guy, but I have two STEM degrees. Neither helps the assburger.
I'm a 31 yo khv and I literally never talked to a woman in my entire life. I'm not even being hyperbolic. But I'm not feeling that depressed anymore these days so how do I get a gf?
>>721002763go live in the woods? thats what i would do if i could
how the fuck does this thread get posts? Are you all really this fucking retarded that you need validation by answering the dumbest questions ever asked? You all need to kill yourselves.

>>721003029bed in central zone of the room means less free space
It's really just the mattress. women will fuck anywhere if you get them horny enough but without knowing you and looking at your room, a lack of a bedframe screams "I don't expect anyone else to sleep here"everything else is fine, kind of bland desu, guitars are cool assuming you play them
>>721002625with retirement money duh
>>721003037The reality is that being on the spectrum just inherently makes you unattractive to women and there is almost nothing you can do to get over that obstacle. Women hate spergs, even spergy women would rather be with neurotypical guys than autistic men.
>>720988114That underage teenager has amazing tits! I'd love to hold them!

>>721003000>studies show
>>721002740I would argue that, with rare exceptions, men shouldn't go near anything (((published))) today. It's for women and gays primarily. A tiny bit for old boomers (Tom Clancy shit). Luckily there are more worthwhile books out there than any one man could read in a lifetime.

>>721003270why tf would I want (You)s from people I genuinely want to kill themselves? A (You) means you haven't done it and that is the opposite of what I want.
>>721002980Then go see a fucking therapist, get put on some fucking meds, and get your shitty life together. Sitting around feeling sorry for yourself is the absolute WORST way to handle your situation right now. I dealt with the same shit you're talking about. I dropped out of pharmacy school in 2018, went to study programming in 2019, shit kicked my ass and got even worse when the pandemic started, and my life has been a nonstop series of blunders ever since. But I've been actively working on getting my shit together since then and have managed to fix the parts of my life that needed fixing (stopped drinking, started seeking help, got myself a new psychiatrist and meds that work, etc.). Life has been stupid and unfair to me more times than I can count. But I'm 34 and I need to get my shit together and wrap up my degree so I can get to the next chapter of my life with my dignity in tact. It WILL happen, because I have not given up. I WON'T give up. Quit acting like a little bitch and coming to this website to seek sympathy from teenagers. Seek help and get your shit dealt with.

I went to weekly therapy, I ate some fucking anti-depressants, I had my brains electrocuted (and as a result there is an entire fucking year I barely remember because it fucked with my memories). It was that shit fucking FAILING to cure me that led me to relapse into depression and my life unraveling in 2019.>Sitting around feeling sorry for yourself is the absolute WORST way to handle your situation right now. IIt is the only fucking thing left. There is no point in trying to fix my shit again when at a drop of a hat, my fucking retarded depressive brain can just fuck everythign up and no medication seem to be able to help.And good on you for managing to keep the spirit of struggling up, however I cannot. Every experience in my life during the past decade and a half has just reaffirmed the experience of "no matter what you do, or how much you try, everything is going to fall apart and there is nothing you can do to fix it".To me, the struggle feels utterly futile.

>>720994502Living out of a van sounds like it would get old fast.But as a corporate wagie, sometimes I do daydream about what life would be like to live freely like that. Ya know, having a small camper van that I could live out of for awhile if needed, but mostly just drive around the country and find some quiet, little town somewhere to stay at for awhile. Pick up some contractual or seasonal work to make enough money to rent an apartment or stay in an extended stay hotel for a couple months before packing up and moving on to the next adventure.Or saying "fuck it" and getting work visas and living minimalisticly out of small apartments to travel the world instead. But then reality kicks in and I realize that either option would be a huge hassle and it is kinda nice having my roots planted somewhere.

You normalfags love to do everything you can to make it the losers fault for everything around them when that's really not how the world works. It's brutal and some people lose. Some people are born with brain eating parasites that annihilate their existence shortly after. None of your just world shit is true, we live in an unforgiving competitive world where people only pretend to be nice to get what they want.

Observations of a loner kissless virgin are not of interest for anyone outside the theology department.
>>721003984Unlike you I'm actually knowledgeable enough on the matter to get accurate information rather than assume everything I don't understand is just a boogeyman trying to rob me. >>721003996I've had unfortunate circumstances as well. Lots of unfair circumstances. Most people have, because life is inherently unfair. The difference between me and him is that I haven't given up. I've made every effort to figure out what's wrong, fix it, and proceed from there. I *enjoy* the process of dealing with challenging situations because it has made me stronger and more knowledgable. It has made me more competent. That other anon seems to think he has it worse than everyone else, and he revels in his misery. He probably gets off to it-- all people like him do.
>>721004183Yeah they burn the pathways in your brain, which may heal or create scar tissue.Any positive effect is placebo and from getting any social attention at all.
>>721004417>smartass faggot dumps his chinese fortune cookie tier wisdom into the thread

>>721004408>Observations of a loner kissless virgin are not of interest for anyone outside the theology department.LolPlenty of people who get laid are completely vapid, anon. You being a virgin has little to do with your lack of self-awareness.
>>721004321>now you have a girlit's just your turn
>>721004417The difference between you and the people you claim to be better than is nothing more than luck. Objectively. That is the reality we live in no matter how much you try to post-hoc rationalize the successes you've found beating unfair circumstances.
>>721004501It was never an argument, you're just a fucking retard.
>>721003061Delete all you Pokemon related media for starters
>>721004465Whatever it was, it didn't help in the long term because in the following year my depression came back with a vengeance, and never left. It along with the pandemic basically made me drop out of university because at that point I was fucking done with it all.
>>721004491I accept your concession. Educate yourself, shithead. It may save your life one day.
>>721004465I'm sure the resident sadists who clamping him in with the jumper cables were having a ball. Just because he lost brain tissue doesn't mean that the lives of others weren't marginally improved by the experience. A true society looks out for the many over the needs of a few.
>>721004593Of course it didn't help.You were never sick.
battlestation/living space threads on /v/ always bring me a strange kind of joy.
Why the hell do people put guitars on the wall. Like what the fuck. It's an instrument. You're supposed to play it.
>>721004559It's a matter of giving up and not giving up. When you give up, you have lost. Luck determines how long it takes to get yourself back up. I'm not saying I haven't been lucky, but it's not like the opportunites came to me of their own accord. I followed the guidlines set by people smarter and more experienced than me, and their suggestions, more often than not, worked. Anons have more agency than they give themselves credit for. They'd just rather do nothing and bitch on 4chan instead.
>>721004668in the 'like watching alien lifeforms trying to understand normal people doing normal things that come naturally' sense, yes
>>721004543>it's just your turnfuck you
>>721004668Never a dull moment when someone uses it as an excuse to blogshit.
>>721004649> the lives of others weren't marginally improved by the experience.tranny.
>>721004417I don't think that I have worse than everyone else, there are plently of people who have worse circumstances than I have. I however, reached the limits of what I can bear, which may be lower than it is for some other people, because the amount of resilience people have to adversity, hardship and suffering also differs between people. I reached my limit, and could not deal with the struggle anymoe especially with the knowledge that no matter what I do, my depressive tendencies are prone to just sabotaging and undermining me at every point and that there seems to be no way of fixing this core mental health problem I have had since I was in my teens.
>>721004194>MonogamousDo not look up history and their kings.

>>721004909This isn't about prostitutes anymore, is it?
>>721004737You also have a breaking point. All of these types of sayings are more of a mantra for you types than a factual reality. If you look at the world overall, hundreds of millions of people are all trying exactly like you are and in the end you have a distribution of results. The ones like you who luck out tend to jeer at the ones who fell short without even fully understanding the situation they were in. You end up making assumptions to make yourself feel worthy of your successes. It's really predictable and annoying.
>>721004947Thanks, though opening the door for hope at this point feels scarier than just resigning oneself to doom.

>>720984969The man needs to invest in a bed frame, and if we're trying to improve things he could benifit from some matching furnature, or painting the grey cabinet to match the desk, and rotating things so they are together (Possibly putting the amp on it if it's long enough, and you don't need the space atop it.) I'm not sure about the anatomy poster unless you have some sort of medical, or art profession. It's a bit odd, and the curtains are cheap, something warmer would be better given the white walls. >>720987179So this is a big problem area. We have this washer/dryer set, all of these necessary kitchen appliances, it's tricky. You might be able to cram that microwave next to the stove, and throw a board over the side two burners for the air fryer. Is that a pill organizer? Hide that.You might be able to mount the pans above the stove, or on the inside of a cabinet. A napkin holder on that little tray is a must. >>720987254Now the living room, a lot of people will hate on the records, and guitars but if that's what you're into that's fine. I'd get those ones on the floor off the floor. Maybe some hangers off the speaker mounts, or a shorter curtain with them bellow the window. The couch? It's gotta go unless it's really sentimentally. If you don't have anything to hide the vacuume cleaner like a closet you need to either take that stuff in the bedroom, and tuck it behind that. With the extra room from removing the couch, we need to improve the seating situation. You have a few options, I'd want to take some measurements. You could shuffle the little bookcases, and put the TV over that wall, or the TV on the couch wall. Put the shelves on the side wall, and spend some time getting a big couch (Maybe a L couch) over that entire corner. Now the big sticking point, the chair. For now, when expecting company slide the chair off center, possibly partly in front of the end of the new couch.
