>see engagement clickbait slop>three dots>"not interested"
>>730661315Doesn't work, you need an external addon to filter it for good.
>>730661214i played the girl game of doing well in class and tests, it was all fake, i'm dumb
>>730661214I realized it was all going to be in vain and I was going to be happier playing video games than participating in the corporate rat race to feed an empty home
I have dopamine issues. I used to really be into art but wasn't at all interested in putting in the actual work to improve, I couldn't coax by by being an autistic savant so I gave up.
>hello retard sla-I mean, fellow video-ya anons>isn't playing videogames CRINGE and CHILDISH?>give up your hobbies and interests right now>why don't you join our culture war ranks and help fight the culture war by posting bullshit on 4chan dot org and pretending it does anything but ruin the quality of the site????!!!!
>>730661315FPBPOP utterly fucking destroyed.
>>730661214Currently playing Pathfinder.Nothing happened, that's the problem. I was okayish in school, peaked in college, got MA, but there are no jobs for me and when there are I'm competing with 30 other candidates for a slightly above minimum wage position. I am forced to NEET because I refuse to go work in food delivery in Germany. There's nothing else to do but game.
Niggas that completely obssess about video games have absolutely nothing else going on in their lives
>>730662496Nice try op
>>730661214What went wrong is that you were never smart and were actually just the Dunning Kruger kid
>>730661214I don't
>>730661214I was never the smart kid, get fucked.
>>730661214I’m not actually smart just great at following directions and above average at writing.
>>730661214I never developed a tolerance of failure or a work ethic. Anything below perfection was seen as a failure and inadequate because I could get As by doing jack shit. No, I'm not Asian.My parents never pushed me to do anything either. They let me sit in front of my computer all day, because "he knows what he's doing because he's getting good grades".
I'm an oldfag. I was in those gay ass gifted classes for elementary and middle school because I took some standardized test in 2nd grade that scored me as "Post High School" on reading and math. I was never even that intelligent, I just played a lot of old text based games and CRPG as an only child so you had to fucking study autism tomes to be able to play the game at a basic level.I hated those classes so badly. In middle school they threw 6 kids in the class, 4 of which were asian fobs that barely spoke fucking English and then they had us build model airplanes and play Chess like there was going to be some kind of magic Good Will Hunting epiphany that happened if you let the Rain Men mash together blocks long enough.i started deliberately tanking all my tests so they put me in remedial courses instead of gifted about 7th grade, and the remedial math course was so fucking fun I cannot express, just a class full of kids scream laughing at each other while we took turns playing Tetris on the projector. I remembr the fattest, gayest seeming English teacher/counselor in High School confronted me 1 on 1 at one point trying to have his HIllary Swank moment after reading my transcripts and said "You were really smart...what happened?" and just wondering when the last time he had gotten pussy.
>>730661214despite asking my parents how I could earn videogames I wanted, because of financial stuff they'd never actually let me WORK for something and I only ever got things as giftsso I ended up never developing an understanding of what work is worththen other shit happened and I'm actually disabled now, so gaming is mostly to keep my red-hot burning jealousy in check somewhat while I foolishly fear something as simple as even trying to write a small fantasy book or learn to draw or even take baby steps towards gamedevthen again even as a child I also felt more like an animal observing the world than anything else, but explaining this while young was virtually impossiblesome vidyer gaems are still lots of fun though. vidya should be fun.
>>730662465I have a cs degree and now I scrub floors with mexicans
>>730661214Nobody who watches youtube as an adult was ever smart.
>>730662923The way I saw the world was like overgrown children playing games and messing around. Like cops and robbers in the case of the judicial system. Dumb criminals do drugs and drive fast and break laws while cops feel like they're chasing down criminals and playing like they're Kojak or a Chuck Norris character. In America there's a lot of working up to an image thing that makes every action Americans make seem artificial or forced or the product of a manufactured culture. Lawyers just seem to be having fun playing in the middle of the cops and robbers game played by overgrown man children who cannot for the life of them stop doing drugs or killing Jamal; the lawyers just play in the middle of that game and lie and bullshit people.There are just too many people in the world to get a word in edgewise and the games people play are like they're fighting against the hands of time to make an impact for good or evil and all they provide me specifically is mental and physical exhaustion. So I don't play and shitpost on /v/ and play video games
The world does not reward smart people (as in, within one standard deviation to the right of the average). True geniuses often get rewarded at least a little.If you are a midwit and unsuccessful, you likely lack discipline and blame environmental factors out of your control while doing nothing to change the factors you do control.
>>730661214>PLEASE PLEASE BUY MY COURSE PLEASE IM GONNA STARVE PLEASE BUY MY BOOKS
>>730661214autism closed many doors for me. Now I'm pushing 40 and it's time to give up on my dreams.
