Zero mention on tv or books of any type of strategies being implemented to stop the pain. It’s like they’re all just weirdly totally satisfied with what this world is, they just want more buildings and more money, even the dying people don’t have any sort of input. Very strange, had me going for awhile. It almost seems like it’s a bad topic to even mention. You look outside and don’t see one thing worth keeping. Put me in charge, I know the answer.

Finally got a PS5 to play the 4 games I care about, got it in a week ago and all I've had time for is setting up and transferring PS4 data. I still play Overwatch every couple nights with some friends, but as far as solo gaming goes I don't think I played more than 80 hours last year and I don't think I've played a single game without friends so far this year. Hopefully going to play something and not regret buying a PS5.

I wouldn't trade my wife and child for the world but damn I don't get much more than 1-2 hours a day to myself and I got more hobbies than just gaming.

I've NEETmaxxed for 1.3 year now.
I'm playing a lot of video games. Last time I power-NEET'ed I felt so bad about myself that I stopped being able to play anything out of fear that I was never gonna work like an adult before the end of my 20s. But then I found a job when I was 27 and had it until the end of 2024. It feels like this is my "final NEET" moment, so I'm just taking it until I can't take it anymore, and then I'll find some shit-job, and hopefully not hate it, because working isn't so bad actually. And my boss was fucking awful, and I still don't hate the idea of going back to it. But a little less stress would be nice, because some days it put me completely out of business, and just weeks where I couldn't play anything from work stress.

I often fear the no parents situation with the sorry kind of life I'm leading. No girlfriend in sight, and I'm not going to fret about it. But I really hope I do something with myself if lose my mother early in life, other than just accepting it and being miserable until I'm gone. I'd like to meet new people if I no longer had a family, and get new beginnings.

I'm probably not gonna be a gamer nerd like this forever. I used to want to do several non-gaming things in life, and at some point I just succumbed to the addiction of it. I started modding games in 2020 and it was the perfect excuse with Covid and everything, but since the lockdowns lifted I've regressed and wasted my time. It's when I started going here a lot too. I never wanted to make 4chan a mainstay. I always thought of it as a shithole, but the "woke" situation and then the political situation became so dire since 2022 that this is the only place left where I feel like I can express my inner thoughts without Reddit moderators blocking and permabanning me.

Also my porn consumption used to just be my guilty pleasure, and then I got on with it, but with all of the internet crackdowns and anti-porn sentiment it's done a great number on my self esteem. I would show up at work functioning super well, but having jerked off furiously until 2am, wake up, shower and get in clean clothes. Now I feel like there's something wrong with me for having libido, and craving sexy content in video games.

At one point in life I truly thought things would just stay as they used to. But it's clear now that things are just changing and not returning to how they were.

>>736539886
It's give and take. When I was in school I was suicidal because I hated it so much but I could also play vidya "guilt free" since I didn't have to work a job. Now I'm technically happier but if I don't wageslave I'm considered worse than Hitler and Satan combined. I wish I could be a kid, playing with my best friend and then running home to his place after school and playing Red Alert over LAN or Crash Bandicoot on his PS1. Our dads grilling while we played football in the sun, ate popsicles and rode our bikes. Those were the days.

Start drinking after work. Not hard liquor mind you, just enough to put you close to BAC limit for driving for an hour or so. Work has a way of training your mind to look for problems to solve, so when you don't have any your stress level spikes. The booze quiets that part of your mind down so it's much easier to relax. Anything else with a sedative effect will do if you're not down to drink, even a hot shower will help a lot.

I just quit. When you're fed up enough, telling the boss is like the easiest thing ever, and felt like I couldn't do anything besides that.
You have to make sure your timing doesn't fuck over the current project that the work is counting on, and we have unions in my country, so I called them and asked about my situation and potential NEETbux benefits if I quit rather than getting laid off, and they looked at my data and assured me that there would be NEET-bux on Day 1 if I lost my job tomorrow, and that's when I locked in and decided it was time to become a NEET. But be careful 3-4 months doesn't turn into over a year, because it has for me, and I'm not improving myself.

I was the same way. I would literally wake up near 9 am when I was supposed to get on at 8. Answer a few emails and finish critical tasks, then sleep for two hours. Wake up and get all my tasks done and work after hours to make sure I was good for the next day.

No one gave a shit until one bitch karen got the slightest promotion in my work group and decided that allowed her to send an email and cc'ing our main HR manager reminding me about what our work hours were.

Well she doesn't need to worry about things being done improperly anymore. After a regional conference that went south for our department me and the only other person on our team quit without notice. Now, after being a micro-managing cunt, she gets to do ALL our jobs by herself, so she can be sure that they will be all done perfectly while she reports to that same HR manager by herself. I hope she fucking chokes.

Except when waiting for specific games to come out, found myself playing comfy games or old favourites (dungeon keeper, carmageddon etc). But yeah, getting back at 7pm, workout, dinner by 9ish takes a toll on gaming. Barely find an hour or so.

I read a German study about Japanese elderly, and why they live so long. Apparently, the elderly who lived to be over a hundred have three things in common. Exercise, Community, And creative expression.
Exercise is well and done. Community is only you fags (good enough imo). And creative expression is the game I'm working on. No one will ever play ig besides me, im too self conscious for that. But it's been a great exercise for my brain, and it helps me stay out of this horrid nightmare we call reality. Even for a little while.

I have a bunch of money (at least for the average joe where I live, burgers would probably laugh at me) saved up, what do?

i thought the same thing when my parents died... make sure you force yourself to do it. I can tell you now. losing parents is hard. losing parents when you don't have your own wife and kids to come home to is even harder. you grt used to it though. most humans just cope and survive until death

that's life brother. I saw a vid on /wsg/ that said "you can go back , but no one is going to be there" which resonated with me. i've been stuck in the past for so long and watched everyone else pass by in life with their normal milestones - family, career, mortgage. i got left behind, but i did it to myself. now i realised those good times when i was younger are gone and just live in the day and take each on as it comes.

Definitely lacking in all three areas. Exercise and creative hobbies are doable (I've got some game ideas I'd like to put work into), but I don't even know what community I'd fit into. Everyone like me is, well, like me. They aren't in voice chats or game stores. They're shut-ins who keep to themselves. If there's a woman out there who's right for me, she will probably never know I exist.

I play games in bursts, and this year has been fuck-all playing. Was playing some old (PS1-2) games and replaying some Dark Souls 1. But fuck-all other than that. Every time I look at what's new it's just garbo all-round. I'm tired of GaaS and whatever else is out there. I've been meaning to replay Einhander, that was cool. Might go and try Shadow Tower as I played STAbyss a while back. These games have soul and modern shit just doesn't. So much money and design, but all falls flat. Too much GUI and busiwork, but no substance.

A part of me still yearns for the exploration of games, where they used to be made with care, and there's something to do and explore. Hell, even arcade-esque games are good where you keep replaying over and over, something modernshit is allergic to where they're bloated as all fuck for a one-and-done experience. But on the other I've picked up more shit to do so it's been easy to let go a lot of vidya (been into cars and reading way, way more than usual which have both been great).

Sad to break it to you but genetics is still the no.1 factor in longevity.

Look at your family tree for a diagnosis on how soon you'll probably die.

Not saying it's the only factor and that environment and habits don't help, but it's the biggest.
Most of the supercentenarians on the planet lived a completely shit lifestyle which would kill a regular joe halfway down his 50s.

It's sad that I can go back to old games, whether I've played them before or not, and immediately, it's great. It's beyond nostalgia. I do not love every old game, but games these days are far too bloated and full of shit everywhere, from the ground up, down to the engines, optimisations, the philosophies/logic/attitude of the artists and developers.

I dunno how to put it, but you can feel it constantly when playing between the two. I still try, I still look at what's out there, try to keep an open mind but man it's hard. Early access as well is something I'm surprised hardly gets mentioned. Financially it's like a soft-scam to the players and developer as much of the financial incentive is gone (they already have the money, so who cares now right?), but also I don't like experiencing the 'process'. I've worked in the process, and being the player of the work (that you pay for EA) is miserable. What happened to making a good game and releasing it completely with passion and without constant spoilers; of which, is damaging regardless of whether you buy into EA or not.

Forgot to mention but I still play some BallisticNG here and there which is very nice, very rare and niche racing. I would like to find some arcade-esque games, like Ubermosh, where each round is no more than 60 seconds but it's immediate violence and gameplay. Games used to respect the player and their time. Now? Get fucked give us top dollar for bottom barrel.

most of the people i know that complain about getting old at 30 are real doughy types that have spent the last 15 years sitting at their computer eating frozen pizzas, and now they attribute the sum total of their atrophy and nutritional deprivation to "old age". a bunch of my friends started moving onto standing desks, vertical mice, and whatever other setups to make up for their skeletons collapsing, but they STILL refuse to lift a fucking dumbbell instead. 1 guy has spent the last 15 years eating junk food and getting drunk on cheap beer, and he's starting to look like the norf fc guy only more red. and he's the most vocal about "ahhh the old age its getting me its so over bros"

>My grandma died when she was 67, the other when she was in her 30's before I was born.
1 grandma died at 67
1 grandma died in her 30s before you were born
the implication of
>before I was born
is that your mother was pregnant, so how old was your granma and your mother when they got pregnant
or are you saying she died before you were even conceived?

I suppose but playing video games has its ups and downs just like a job for me. Its not always "fun" to be the one pressing the buttons and it makes sense that people make a living out of it.

Take for example the Poppy games, that shit dont look fun to play but I am cool with inhaling the lore. On that note I also have considered a youtube channel but it just drives the idea of how playing video games is work(practically comission work at that) even further for me.

Playing helldivers atm, its ok but I dont think i can enjoy it fully without being drunk and maybe playing with /hdg/

>dumps me a year later
>loneliness hitting even harder

And thats why im going to drink this shitty bottle of cheap wine after work today, boot up hd2, collapse, hopefully after feeling slightly better. Hell i dont even like drinking actually. Might play ds2 if I can get a cheaper key when hd2 gets boring.

I'd argue saying "before I was born" implies there was a chance of being born while that person was still alive and using the adverb "even" would emphasize the gap between death and birth in a way that highlights the impossibility of meeting

>Having her with me only makes other women more relaxed and open to small talk so we evidently look like we're dating and no one has said shit.
women have kinda caught up to how men tend to turn out in their young adulthood when they have no female friends (or none at all) so a lot of time i doubt they think you are dating, they just think you are normal enough to have 1 (one) female friend so they are more at ease

based on talking to some female friends and gfs, it turns out a lot of guys are just barely concealing wacky psycho tendencies that tend to come out when they feel emotions for the first time. like unmanaged bpd shit, control freak behavior, random rage and so on. and of course if it's a man from some third world culture then they're going to think the woman is property, and women naturally hesitate to acknowledge the connection, so they think all men are like that. but i digress

The US doesnt need more houses, theres already too many houses. The problem is policies allowing banks to mass hold shit and the shuffle and dance of moving section 8 housing to neighborhoods to make people move to buy another house somewhere else.

It sucks I only can play on weekends because I'd happily waste my life doing rally all day. It's such a joy learning how to drive.

I got my PhD, I'm happily married and currently I'm looking for jobs since I left my lab.
I'm also miserable, daydrinking and don't enjoy doing anything since my dad used to instill in me that only if you're working you're doing good, so while I enjoyed vidya as a pasttime while I was doing research, now that I have freetime I just feel like a fucking bum and I end up self-loathing all day, not gaming, not doing shit I enjoy and just shitposting, reading newsarticles and skimming linkedin. Looking forward to this comment getting reported and deleted for not being vidya, but I needed to vent. Also my wife is being hyper supportive, which makes me feel even worse because I'm just disappointing her.

Mentally, extreme anxiety brought on by absurdly low vitamin D levels over a long period of time. It's annoying because even though I don't actually feel scared/anxious/nervous, my body goes into maximum fight-or-flight for something as innocuous as walking out the front door of my house. The most crippling part is that it causes a feeling of imminent pants-shidding when it strikes, and even going to the toilet doesn't solve it. It only goes away when my subconscious calms itself down, which is very hard with the negative feedback effect of getting nervous because I feel that I have to shid, which makes me feel like I have to shid even more, etc.

>>736541929
the housing market is like one of the main 3 pillars that allow wealth transfer from the young to the old. there's no real way to convince a 25 year old to buy intangible assets like stocks or gold ETFs, because they're not that useful, but you need a house to live. therefore, if houses are assets, then you are able to tie them into the asset market and siphon money away from working age people to elderly asset owners.

if houses were depreciating assets like cars or something (like they should be), then it'd be much harder for boomers to maintain their wealth or reverse mortgage their house and other gay shit like that. we would likely see stocks and assets drop in general

however it's all quite myopic since what we are currently seeing is young people not buying houses anyway, because their values have inflated SO massively that they'd rather live at home, rent at some shitbox or literally move elsewhere. it is causing an economic kerfuffle because people can't live in the area where their skills are needed, and increasingly more time and resources are used to manage these fairy tale values instead of just building more houses or something. so they try to keep the scheme going with 50 year mortgages and other shit like that.

“Higher Clerical Assistant” which basically means I do the bookkeeping for local council and make sure that money goes from them to care homes for old people.

I also take calls from customers and have to chase down details that the social workers teehee forgot to fill in because they’re fucking wank and I have to operate a system that we’ve been using since the 90’s that if the slightest mistake is made I have to apologise to the service user by sending a fucking letter that they won’t read all whilst being chased by my supervisors who do the same job as me but for more pay.

If you do pull exercises you should probably do push exercises. Twice a week at the gym doing a simple dumbbell and plate loaded machines routine is enough to fix a lot of health problems before they come up. I haven't been to the gym in 5 years though. I'm more interested in walking at my age.

I dropped everything and started making a living from my art.
I only make around $1,500 a month, though, but I don't mind, and I probably wouldn't trade this income for $10,000 a month if it meant going to an office to work like I used to.
Since I became an artist, I have plenty of time to game. I play about three hours a day, according to my Steam stats.

Honestly, the sitting pose you naturally assume tends to be the most comfortable for a reason. It puts the least amount of stress on your spine. So you're basically already sitting correctly. What's unhealthy is quite simpy the amount of time spent doing it, so that other positions become uncreasingly uncomfortable as your muscles atrophy and your joints lock in place. That's why consistent exercise and regularly getting up and walking for a bit is so important.
