>>738008852>there really isn'tthat's why leftists are trying to ruin it and censor the most milquetoast things.If it's something the chuds like, then it has to be destroyed. They already destroyed and own the table-top gaming space.

My parents thought I would be a normalfag if they took away my consoles.
>>738009373its more like an mmo with pvp enabled and no moderation while older players keep griefing the zones you play in and there's nothing you can do to farm money without them taking it.
>>738009373I regret not getting in the Crypto train back in 2016, my dad didn't let me be a waiter at 16, I could be a millionaire on a wagie salary before even hitting 20

>>738008852>Now kids, video games are childish nonsense, you shouldn’t be playing->Hal, I bought them the game>You shouldn’t be playing without your brother! Make sure all share and give each other a turn!

>>738010173Don't lie Reece, NO one beats SubZero.
>>738010173Funny thing is not once did Hal or Lois ever take a harsh anti-TV or anti-videogame stance. For being poor the boys had tons of VHS, games and a TV to watch. They just had to share it.

>>738009000
>>738008852there's some stuff
>>738009373we didn't listen when they were teaching said rules bro
>>738009373the number one rule to get ahead in society is to take everything you can from everyone and feel no shame about it. the world fucking sucks shit heads cant learn a lesson and work together towards a brighter future
>>738010938That's what people your age said two decades ago. It happened to you
>>738009373yeah...
>>738008852crazy... innit? society is a lie.
>>738009373i unironically started acting way more friendly/outgoing once i realized that interacting with people is also a skill that you can improve so instead of seeing interacting with people as a waste of time, i started seeing it as a way to hone my skills i encourage every anon here to practice this at work, even if you're competent, you can get away with a lot of things just by having people like you the impact is even greater in environments with many introverted people like software engineering
>>738008852Kill yourself, faggot.
>>738012407Yeah and it's fuckin boringIn fact anon I bet a good majority here were damn fucking good at socializing at one point, but as with anyhing in life you don't do things you don't like unless you have to.If you are an 80 IQ gigastacy blonde female holy shit socializing is like perma orgasming to youBut in the contrary if you are an introverted 140 IQ ugly man it will likely be a pain in the ass for you.

>>738009137Mercante's a cunt
>>738008852I turned 30 a couple months ago and you really just start to take it weekend to weekend. I work a comfy job where I make my own hours and only commute 2-3 times a week. I work from home so I save tons of money. Boss pays for my gas. Get excited to watch baseball.Am I unsatisfied with where I'm at in life for someone my age? For sure, but I get to play video games, drink reasonably, and have friends that want to chat with me daily. The only thing that's missing is a place of my own, a more 'professional' job, and a significant other, but honestly things could be a lot worse. It's like Orel Puppington said, as long as you got Family, Friends, or Faith, you've got plenty.
>>738012705Regular people only want to talk about the most inane shit. No I don't want to talk about work, weather, or sports. Don't tell me to "talk more". If you can't think of anything interesting, maybe you should talk less. Quiet is fine. Not every second needs to be filled with words. It's so exhausting pretending to care.
>unless youre born rich, 70% of your adult life is spent working so you can afford basic shit you need to survive
I played WoW from 17-28ish and I regret it. i wish I had gone to college right after high school, gotten in the gym, not wasted so many years driving around on a suspended license and gotten braces when I was younger and it was less expensive not to mention missing out on girls before they went totally insane. It was so easy to pull in the early 2000s
>>738009137>They already destroyed and own the table-top gaming space.Yu-Gi-Oh is doing great and even has a mesugaki MC of the current anime and they know that they can't even hope to take that. Because they failed for the last 15 years.
>>738013554Yugioh sucks dick and always has. Godawful game. Godawful tranime "art." Grow the fuck up and stop wasting your money on cardboard.
>>738013432Could be worse, you could be completely addicted to WoW and only slightly acknowledge its a problem while your life crumbles around you. I've got a buddy who's trying to declare bankruptcy because it took him *eight years* to do a computer science bachelor's degree with no relevant experience because he cut class to play WoW, and still just plays WoW for hours a day. If you can acknowledge your problem, do something about it.
>>738010492Because that is what was seen as poor back then.For fucks sakes Jonathan Q. Arbuckle was once seen as a loser without hope by our parents while he had >A 2 floor 8 room home in a mostly trouble free zone >Several blue collar qualifications all of them mid level but they are there>A car but small and with 3 years of use>Money to live an OK life and feed Garfield who is said to eat like a whole family >No debts at all>Average weigth and no addictions >A new hobby every other week>180 cm tall >No need for meds>All of this at 29Almost everybody of our generation would see this man and say "yeah, he's got his act together and in almost pristine shape". And everybody from the younger generations will see him as something that's beyond their reach.That's how things have changed.
>>738013782Case in point. It filters retards like that one from square one.
>>738014160
>>738013404>I am an asshole!
>>738014160damn
>>738012407Forcing smalltalk is easy, just feing interest and keep asking them question that let them yap about their dogshit interest, people love talking about themselves. But it's just so mentally draining, getting through 40 hours of work is exhausting enough without a normalfag blabbering your ears off.
>>738013406kikes really trained westoids into completely forgoing generational wealth
>>738014739What the frick? If you demand someone talk about something they don't want to, you are the asshole
>>738014160anon Jon Arbuckle is played for laughs because he's a weirdo, not because of his qualifications. You're analyzing the socio economic status of a comic strip character. Was owning a home normal in your late 20s back then? Yeah, but the buck basically stops there.
>>738015128Seriously, dude's a toxozombie who literally speaks to his morbidly obese cat, and anon's over here analyzing his fictional tax bracket. What the fuck am I reading.
>>738009373>ITS JUST LIKE A VIDEO GAMEi love normies when they do this.
>>738015030Generation wealth is the buzzword of the year. It’s like a way to train uneducated people into talking about a pointless topic. The truth is actually so bad dude actually. Like it’s actually so bad dude im going to go to an insane asylum. But they can’t even afford to build that, like imagine how much profit an insane asylum actually produces?
>>738014739I am an asshole, so what? It's not like I can just instantly flip a switch and suddenly start thinking "yes, I am now interested in people and enjoy their presence." I just stay out of the way and everyone can be happy.
>>738008852>Mom: There's more to life than video games!>grow up>world politics are decided by video games
>>738013432What was stopping you from doing all those things while playing WoW?
>>738009373Life is a game and it's deliberately rigged. The meaning of life is to either suffer for Lord Moloch's amusement or inflict suffering for Lord Moloch's amusement, and you were arbitrarily selected for the former. There's nothing you can do but accept your fate and allow your betters to torture you.
>>738014972Yeah thats my problem too
>Dewey had better things to do than tie himself to some half-ass reunion showBased.
I'm 32 and been a NEET almost all my life. I tried a couple of jobs when I was younger but I always got fired within a week because my boss would order me to do something and I'd tell them to fuck off and do it themselves. I dunno how anyone can handle wageslaving without losing their mind
>>738014972
>>738015252>toxozombieMan I hate cats but where the fuck did this sharty lingo originate from?
>>738014160Those are the wages of usury.What a little 5%? Come on it's just 5.25% the next year. what's a little 13.25% of your earning power going to banks after 20 years? The banks will give free cars and houses to migrants, isn't that a good cause goy?
>>738015693Uh-oh, toxoplasmosis self report!
>>738009537>my dad didn't let me be a waiter at 16I will never ever understand why parents do this. Literally the best kind of a life learning experience is to get a low tier job where you're expected to handle customers face to face.If everyone in the world had a mandatory year-long retail job experience, we would be living in a very different (and better) world.But of course these jobs are probably "beneath" them and by extension also beneath their children. Which is an extremely retarded and narcisstic mindset to have

>>738009373What use is knowing the rules if the game is rigged from the start? Idiots think if they could figure out a system they could finally win big and be one of the golden ones but that's never going to happen they just feed you that delusion to control you and use you against your own people.
>>738014160But Jon's failure doesn't come from lacking material things, it's a fundamental failure in basic humanity, His best friend is a fat cat that doesn't respect him or his other pet, his girlfriend is the cat's vet and he has no friends or family that respect him, his idea of a crazy night is sleeping with his socks on

>>738013406>>738015030Not meaning to bat for the elite and well off here but I was thinking one day. Let's say we figured all this shit out and the masses were allowed to and all capitalized on building wealth for a generation or two, and then now you have a society where damn near everyone is wealthy enough to not really have to work. Who makes shit then? No one would work McDonald's if they all had a choice... or any food service, or retail, or even trades and utility. No one would work tedious bullshit of any variety if their investments were enough, because why? I imagine some people would do it out of passion or boredom, but that's probably not reliably consistent enough to keep society running. How does this work?
>>738017028>and then now you have a society where damn near everyone is wealthy enough to not really have to workYou have to be 18+ to use this website.
>>738016949Yes but I'm clever and understand humans have negativity bias built-in so I poke that button in the hopes you connect it to a childhood interaction with your parents that brings your self-esteem down and thus makes me kek.
>>738017028The truth is that there are more than enough people that are too stupid to ever have what the kids call "generational wealth." Some of poverty is just circumstance, but a lot of it is also that many of the impoverished are genuine fucking morons that will not rise above fast food/menial labor even if you heaped blessings upon them. I say this as someone that grew up in a place where someone getting shot in my neighborhood was a regular occurrence.

>>738009000Checked!!!
Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them. But trial of chance or trial of worth all games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all. Suppose two men at cards with nothing to wager save their lives. Who has not heard such a tale? A turn of the card. The whole universe for such a player has labored clanking to this moment which will tell if he is to die at that man’s hand or that man at his. What more certain validation of a man’s worth could there be? This enhancement of the game to its ultimate state admits no argument concerning the notion of fate. The selection of one man over another is a preference absolute and irrevocable and it is a dull man indeed who could reckon so profound a decision without agency or significance either one. In such games as have for their stake the annihilation of the defeated the decisions are quite clear. This man holding this particular arrangement of cards in his hand is thereby removed from existence.

>>738017178This and people are just horrible with money. If I can say I’ve learned something useful from vidya it would be my insistent need to hoard resources which translated to my refusal to spend money unless absolutely needed. I have nearly 100k invested and about 10k in the bank and I still will refuse to buy a game on Steam unless it is on sale and I will basically Jew my way around spending money because I hate spending it. It helps that I don’t need much to be happy anyway.Meanwhile I have friends who tell me they got paid today and they blew their whole paycheck instantly on drinks or clothes or some shit and it baffles me because they were just saying they were broke.

People genuinely like being around them, and just line up to give them votes, money, and business deals.>the impact is even greater in environments with many introverted people like software engineeringCan vouch for this as well. Being able to string a few sentences together and giving your teammates a compliment every few months or so is a pretty much surefire way to get people to all rate you way higher than they otherwise would and insulate you from layoffs and shit.

>>738020683>merely pretendingIt's much more interesting in context. You gotta read the whole book. The quick and dirty is that games are honest. A man plays a game for its own sake, to take and gain and destroy. As the stakes rise and the clarity of dominance and destruction become increasingly vital, the completeness of this idea--that games are the deepest and most true expression of human nature-- eventually escalates all the way into war itself. As the ultimate game, war is god: god/the divine doesn't need a reason to justify its existence; It simply is, and everything else in existence follows and derives meaning from it. War fits the bill; it happens endlessly, across every culture and era without needing justification or defense or argument. It simply is, and all else follows. In everyday life, fakeness and deception prevail. In war, there is great clarity of purpose and meaning. The man across the battlefield wants to kill you, and you want to kill him, and both of you know it completely. There is no ambiguity, no social fiction. This is the greatest form of intimacy any humans may share with one another.

Despite the problems in the world at the time, the world was objectively better not ever 20 years ago. It's just the current post COVID ear where everything is truly fucked.Let me put it this way. Socialization, dating, travelling and leisure in general was something you could do more easily and at a cheaper price than you can now, where companies are unironically running off of gacha game mechanics to make a profit.
>>738017606>I have nearly 100k invested and about 10k in the bank and I still will refuse to buy a game on Steam unless it is on sale and I will basically Jew my way around spending money because I hate spending itMy uncle was like this and died alone leaving behind a fuckton of money and assets that his relatives fought over like vultures. He always pined for this fancy car his whole life that he could totally afford but never bought because it wasn't necessary by his philosophy I guess. Had no wife or kids. His resource hoarding was totally pointless. I'm talking about a guy who refused to even use heating in the winter because he hated paying the gas company.

You can interact in certain more professional/formal contexts a lot better and in a skillful manner, but you are not going to do that for casual conversation unless you are a political type, in which case, you're just trying to jew people out of their money and votes.If we account for alcohol, maybe you might be less picky about who you hang out with, but everyone has a certain tolerance for the type of people they would actually hang out and talk with, not just subtly manipulate in order to use them as unwitting pawns for their machinations (which is what you are talking about, let's not get this mixed up here). Nothing wrong with that, but that's not real friendliness or conversation. It's a means to achieve a goal. >>738014972That's true. As a working adult, I realized there's no point in talking to people outside of what I need from them (or vice versa if we're colleagues or share some duty together) and wanting to talk to them and I rarely want to talk to them because there's such a wide gap between our worlds, that there's no way we would understand one another. This is fine, so long as I am able to get what I need from them and do my work.>>738014739Yeah. If you're going to talk about nothing interesting or relevant, I have no qualms about being a cunt to a retard like you.
>>738009373>parents teach me how to play and give me advice>some att revamped the game and the past meta was gutted
>>738023590>no heating in the winterI would do this because I love the cold more than anything not because it saves money. I still gladly pay for AC and such and treat myself to good meals every now and then (with discounts of course)I am at the point where there really isn’t anything I could buy with money that would significantly improve my life so the knowledge that I have enough money for anything I could ever need outside of a sudden 300k surgery is QOL in itself
>>738009373The game is rigged from the start. You can get fucked literally before you are even born.>can get aborted or miscarriaged>can be born with a physical defect or weaknesses your family bloodline carries>can be born with or develop a mental disability early on>can be born to neglectful/abusive/retarded parents>can grow up with a family that's retarded with money>can be born in a shitty place like N.Korea, S.America, Africa, SEA, Australia, Canada, or the UK>can lose the genetic lottery and be a 3/10 AT BEST>can be born brown or black>can grow up to be a manlet or dickletAnd that's not even counting freak accidents or other life-changing events.
>>738008852My parents encouraged my video game addiction because it was cheaper and less work than sports or music. That’s why it doesn’t surprise me so many people my age let their kids get hooked on TikTok and Roblox.
>>738009373>lose track of the meta for awhile>no longer allowed to participate, making the gap wider and wider and your prospects exponentially worse by the day
>>738009000Checque'd
>>738014972Coworkers expect you to listen to them talk about their kids all shift. But when you bring up one of your hobbies or something you’re excited about, they change the topic immediately. If you talk about video games around women, they look at you like you’re mentally challenged. Video games are a childrens hobby you’re supposed to grow out of. You may as well ask if they watch Paw Patrol.
>>738014739Life is better when you accept your role as the bad guy. Normies don't like me no matter what I do, and I get shat on regardless so I embrace it.
>>738016375You could win but you were taught learned helplessness instead so you think you can't. That's why knowing the rules is a good thing, schlomo.
>>738012407DON'T DO THIS it creates nerve gas
>>738024082Yes, the game is intentionally rigged. The world exists to be a suffering factory for Lord Moloch. He doesn't need our suffering for anything, He just likes to watch us suffer and laugh. He created us for the sole purpose of punishing us for being created. The system was never meant to be fair.
>>738024401you're just generalizing among my coworkers, people who DON'T play video games or watch anime are the weirdos
>>738021645>It makes me feel bad inside when I make someone smile by pretending I care about them or what they are sayinguhhh try not feeling this way?it's just part of the game anon, don't mind it
>>738012407>Charisma is the most important statThis is not news
>>738008852What about fitness, creative pursuits, and love?
>>738024694>Guy at my work "watches anime">He watches One piece, solo leveling
>>738024401Depends on where you work. We had drinks and a Mario kart tournament at my office after work yesterday.
>>738024927Honestly, that's a perfect avenue for discussion. Sure it's not to your taste, but it's something that an anime fan of any sort could ask questions about and try and get the other person to talk more about why they like it and so on and so forth. It's generic for an anime but it's a better gauge of a person's personality than sportsball or capeshit.

I think it comes from paranoia about financial security, because I grew up poor and my parents are almost 70 with a huge mortgage on their home. I also play vidya like this too. In the Witcher 3 I ended the game with like 300k in gold reserves because I had two sword and one armour set with me at any one time.

>>738017772>Breaking Bad is pretty cringe.What hurts Breaking Bad is the main motivation for the main character is that he's risking what's left of his failing health and life working as a criminal for a shitty family, a shoddy disabled son who looks down on his father despite his disability and a shitty dismissive cheating cunt bitch wife. No man with self respect will turn into a criminal for a family this shit.And yeah Malcolm in the Middle is shit, hated how Lois got away with her abuse as she explains in the finale that it was intentional. Every moment of suffering Malcolm endures is intentional and worse Lois tells Malcolm he has not suffered enough to satisfy her scheme to turn Malcolm into the president of the USA so she can use him to bail herself out of the poverty she made out of her life. And worse the entire family was in on it. This show is shit.
The truth is that the only people that win the game of life are those either born into money or people too stops to know they're worthless.
>>738014160I hate that this is going to get screencapped and a bunch of zoomoids on twitter are going to think this is how every late 20's male lived back in the day

In my thirties with two kids and I can confidently say that I wish I played more video games growing up, not less. The adults were all fucking wrong.
>>738037978i wish i played more soulful browser mmos and shit like flyff growing up instead of runescape tbdesu
I spend like 12 hours a day at work (and 7 on Sundays). If I didn't force myself to play vidya once in a while I would be bothing but a drone.
>>738016384>no familyWhat? His entire family is a Green Acres style country meme, but they all like him though they do think he's sort of a "city slicker" since he moved away. He's competent (or at least relatively so) and one of this other relatives is sort of a "yokel" caricature. Of course, they apparently live a comfortable farm life. >girlfriend is the cat's vet Yeah, there's nothing wrong with this. That shit would be considered an aspirational thing for so many zoomers today to have a "meet cute" that even dorky Jon could get the vet's number and spends time with her, rather than just mumbling to himself and going home. Jon is also fairly confident in his milquetoast dorkiness which gives him some of his charm, no matter how much Garfield ribbs him over it.

>>738037704It's even worse in the Hulu show where Malcom is A single father in his mid thirties who runs a charity network and kept his teenage daughter a secret as revenge. Hal and Lois also support their nonbinary daughter even though Hal was worried about Dewey trooning out in the original series.

>>738038813Man, Hollywood faggots are really trying their best to erase the past and overwrite it with this fake, gay and retarded simulacrum of what the original shows were like. Did you know that the living cast of WKUK have re-released a compilation of all the episodes minus all the "offensive" and "problematic" skits, which weren't even that big a deal in 2010 when this show was on the air? I am just so grateful for piracy because American entertainment is just so fucked.

>>738038813The reboot special sucks because it barely features any real interaction between Malcolm and the family. As Lois once said Malcolm is smart but you would have to agree his family brought out the worst in him despite his intelligence. But they also brought out the best in each other. The other woke 2020's nonsense felt like it was brownie points for those types. Stevie for example was not gay. The "nonbinary" girl is a girl just trying to be special. I can also see Malcolm having a one night stand, thinking it was romantic or meaningful and then raising his daughter properly.
>>738009000>bloodshart>you will outgrow le gaming have you maybe considered a dev putting new armor in essentially the same game for 20 years and reselling it as new maybe has something to do with you not "vibing" after 4-5 copy paste iterations the game design of which has all the stages of dementia on full display, slowly degrading but getting slightly more iterative and polished for mass market appeal
>>738009000Its really funny that the "youll outgrow vidro games" fable was just spawned by boomer men being literally too worthless and retarded to learn to play a game a 9 y/o could outperform them at.The most tepid, arrogant, spoiled rotten generation of all of human fucking historyIt makes me so fucking irate.

40 oldfag here. Still into video games, but (unsurprisingly) not quite as much as when I was younger. Even on a day where I just stay at home and play "video games all day" I play them in bursts of 1 or so hours of play before saving and quitting, idling a bit/browsing/shitpost/DMs before settling back in for another hour or so. The only times I can do 8+ hour sessions is when a game is brand new and completely grabs me by the balls, I think mh wilds was the last one that did that

Anyone who claims to have "outgrown" video games is trying to look mature and is being immature in doing so.That doesn't mean the concept doesn't exist. It does. Sometimes hobbies that you engage in in certain ways become less appealing to you as how you experience life changes. But if it happens naturally (having a kid or getting a busy job and simply not having the time for time consuming passive hobbies like games) you don't tell people you "grew out of it", you just say "I've not had the chance to recently".If you say you "grew out of it" it's you actively trying to tell others that you think you're above it now, which just makes you look corny.

>>738055672Yeah but its one of the symptoms of society being so culturally fractured now. Everyone watches/reads/listens-to their own hipster 5000views shit so much that no-one has any shows/books/games/music in common anymore. I've noticed it with music playlists at work. 10 years ago you could put on "current popular-ish music" and most ppl would be vibing along to it. Now every single person at my work has their own super sekrit playlist they put on and its all bands/genres that no-one else has heard of.

>>738056002Yeah and thats my beef with it. Everyone nowadays seems content with just mildly consuming low effort slop and not even engaging with it. Like every TV show or anime even now feels like it was designed to just be left open on a 2nd screen instead of actually watched for example.
>>738056043>0% IPAs dafuq Only reason I ever bothered with IPAs was because their ABV is always the highest.

>>738056108Yeah 0% IPAs are the hot new thing for dudes who used to be madcunts in their 20s but now look like this
>>738056305I just read the first sentence in your reply and literally laughed out loud how retarded you are.
>>738056305Yeah most of these sort of Self Help books are borderline scams and made-up bullshit. Remember when 20 years ago this guy's $15k training camps basically boiled down to "casually insult the girl while dressed like a fag and you'll pick up chicks"
>>738056160Idk what you're complaining about. Doesn't sound like there's any pressure for you to become a respectable member of society.
>>738051245I prefer the thinking man's version. It at least broke the spell of sheltered naivete I had growing up.
>>738056392>Doesn't sound like there's any pressure for you to become a respectable member of society.NTA I think thats whats wrong with society now. There's no pressure any more other than making people work until their 80 years old. The economy is dead, housing market is dead and dating scene is dead cuz 58% of Gen Alpha boys (who the oldest start graduating highschool end of this year) prefer talking to AI girls over real ones.
>>738056392Eventually she's going to get too old to work/straight up die and I will not be able to support myself or her if need be
>>738056487> Gen Alpha boys (who the oldest start graduating highschool end of this year) prefer talking to AI girls over real ones.To be fair dealing with women has literally never been worse in all of human history, they dont even slightly feel the need to follow any sort of social contract unless you're the top 1% of guys and they always got 20 people in their DMs on social media You kinda have to be a retarded caveman to want to deal with women these days
>>73805648248 Laws is more philosophical, the other way more practical advice backed by statistics instead of medieval stories.
>>738056385>"casually insult the girl while dressed like a fag and you'll pick up chicks"Where's the lie?
>>738055730Yeah. Everything else that anon listed doesn't matter, is just bad luck but not insurmountably bad or really that bad at all or the result of coping with bad luck. If you don't have a license or at least a high school diploma equivalent, you are fucked for the rest of your life until you put in the effort to get one. That's genuinely a personal problem at that point.A lot of anons here are just addicted to being depressed and don't want to find a way out of that hole. A lot of problems really are just situational/environmental, but if you can't even do the bare minimum to fix your own life, you aren't going to be happy.
>>738056632>and don't want to find a way out of that holeIssue is most people are so tired and burnt out they dont have the energy or time to get out of that hole. Shit would be easier if we werent all paying $350/week to rent a room in a house full of strangers and needing to move house every 6 months cuz of the way the economy is.
>>738056505>his literal only concern is self-preservationLol anon, you will be fine. It doesn't sound like you have any complex needs that require a higher income to be met. Sure, if she dies, you'll be all alone. But the fact that you're in your 30s and have done literally nothing to change that makes it hard to take your concerns very seriously. But if you're ACTUALLY interested in getting your shit together, then you need to consult a social worker ASAP. Or wait until after your mom dies to see if your survival instincts kick in.
>>738009000I'm 43. Time did a number on me. I can't play games as much, as long and I tend to go for the easy difficulty nowadays. I played all kinds of games back then. Nowadays I tend to stick to the genres I like.But damn I still love video games. There is nothing better in life than video games.
>>738009000Yep. Video games are just pure magic. Before 8th gen, anyway.
How am I gonna survive junior high school with this screwed up family?
>>738044149Okay manchild
>>738056713nah I have no survival instincts, thats my point, whatever she did raised me to the point I would rather die then work, once she dies I will be killing myself, she fucked up somewhere
>>738056661>burnt out from doing nothingThat's called depression, and it's a behavior that can be cured with access to the right meds. >inb4 you need money to get medsConsult a social worker. It's their literal job to help people who are broke and need support.
Depression and feeling like a loser is a state of mind. Celebrities, the people who've made it and should reign at the top of our society, get depressed and commit suicide or get addicted to drugs and then die all the time. If anything cases like the Johnny Depp trial have opened up to people how nobody has truly "made it". There are people happy with nothing and there are people miserable with everything. This used to be something taught in society but now all anybody cares about is scamming and climbing to the "top" like they all want to be Leo Caprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. It's sad that young people aren't taught these things anymore.
>>738009000PRAISE KEK
>>738056661Understandable, but you have to find ways to keep your head above water, no matter how small they are and string them together to do greater things to enjoy life. I used to laugh at the motto "Failure is not an option" when I was a smarmy know-it-all kid, but that's fundamentally true. Giving up and dying is not the way to enjoy life, no matter how bad things get externally. Your interior castle needs to be kept in tip top shape.
>>738056834>just go on meds >just ask a fed to tell you to be a good goy and suck it up for 30 more yearslmao
>>738056819You're an adult, anon. You are way past the point of blaming her for your elective dysfunction. She may have fucked up raising you with the CEO mindset, but she successfully raised you into adulthood. At this point, it's your fault that you're a loser-- not hers.
>>738056915That's not how it works, being a successful adult is building off the foundations you formed as a kid. Raising a kid isn't just keeping them alive till they're 18.
>>738056661>Get home from work>Too tired to do anything or go anywhere>Everyone else in social group is too tired/busy/broke to do anything or go anywhere>Collapse in gaming chair>Click some shit for a couple hours to forget about work for 90 minutes>Cant forget about work because work group chats and texts from boss keep lighting up my phone after hours. >Work even messages you and calls you on your days off in 2026 cuz thats just how it goes>Go to bed early cuz work tomorrow>Wake up exhausted>mfw I've been doing this for 30 years and I've gotta do it for at least another 30
>>738056897>anon has literally no other optionI hate to break this to you, anon, but you're a nobody. Some wretch who is just looking for a way to improve his life is the absolute least of the fed's issues. So don't worry-- the boogeyman has bigger fish to fry. Unless you enjoy being a wretch and want validation from other wretches, in which case, you're doing just fine.
>>738009000I'm 39, and well... Ish? I used to belive in "gameplay" is king. I've since realised that great gameplay, with no worthwhile story or something similar, is just another version of "all style and no substance" (I'm sure this will be a very popular opinion here).Now I want games to be, at least to some extent, a unique experience. I'm fine with mediocre (just not waaaay too generic) gameplay, as long as the story, characters, atmosphere, art or anything is something that will stick with me.I've got several games I've got hundreds of hours in, such as several Civilizations, Deep Rock Galactic, Oblivion, several Total Wars, some multiplayer PvP games etc, but none of them have really made any lasting impressions on me, except maybe Deep Rock Galactic. If I'm going to spend hours on something, I want to make it count. Otherwise I might just get drunk and pass out and it would be about as much a waste of time.
>>738056954You're in your 30s, right? You have had over a decade to make your peace with your situation. It's not her fault anymore, anon. Now, it's yours.
>>738056954>Raising a kid isn't just keeping them alive till they're 18.It's sad that so many boomers had this mindset and then just expect the child to erase all memory of the past 18 years and go out with a clean slate to go make them money. Evil generation
>>738016096>gfFuck off chad.
>>738056974>Cant forget about work because work group chats and texts from boss keep lighting up my phone after hours.The fact that liberals on social media aren't raising ruckus about this is beyond me, with how much they claim to care about mental health and social issues. This is something a lot of people, no matter what line of work, have to deal with at least a few times every week, and it can't be good for people's mental health.
>>738056487>dating scene is dead cuz 58% of Gen Alpha boys (who the oldest start graduating highschool end of this year) prefer talking to AI girls over real onesThis has been orchestrated on purpose btw. Meanwhile in Chad, Africa Mugambi is raising 5 children that will be sent over to the Western world to live off government tax-funded gibs
>>738057126Depends entirely on the kind of job you have. Also helps to know the work policy. >t. worked as a pharmacy tech for 11 years and wouldn't respond to texts or calls from if i wasn't in the mood for it
>>738057167Can you explain to me why I should care?
>>738057126>why aren't liberals solving this problem?Why aren't right wingers? Why don't they complain about these bosses encroaching on their (literal) freedom?
>>738057226You're right you shouldn't jeet
>>738057271Good point, well made. I now definitely understand and support your position.
>>738057038NTA, and you're not entirely wrong, but:Grew up with a mother who would abuse me every time I dared to speak up, about anything. Taught me that I have to do what she said, because "parents are always in the right" and she would yank the shit out of hair otherwise. Obviously, in her opinion it wasn't abuse as she totally just "held my hair, all my pain came from trying to pull away".To this day I still pussy out and just agree with people as much as possible because, even if it's a person I KNOW I can trust, the possibility of speaking my opinion and having it chastised freaks me out. I know that makes me a complete pussy, but I've thus far found no way to change that part of my programing.
>>738057249Great whataboutism, my guy.
>>738057126Investing into mental health at all is a 21st century idea. Institutions were well shut down. Before that you were either told to suck it up or tossed in the looney bin. Some Roman going through PTSD because he saw his friend kill and eat a Celtic family with no provacation whatsoever would've been kicked out of the army then robbed in the same day

>>738057126>The fact that liberals on social media aren't raising ruckus about this is beyond meLiberals are corpo shills and want everyone to be on-call 24/7
>>738056487>dating scene is deadNo one has ever enjoyed "dating". Ever. Meeting random people with the intention of having sex with them isn't fun for most people involved. Online dating has only served to make things worse now that the apps have made everything so one-sided. There are like 90% men and 10% women using these things, men will swipe positively on literally ANYONE, and the apps are mostly designed to keep people using them forever rather than helping people form actual connections (which would render the app useless). Also, a gigantic chunk of men are fucking losers and crybabies. Just look at this thread. No sane women should get with any man who feels entitled to pussy simply for existing. Just like how no sane man should get with a woman who does nothing but make him miserable.
>>738057427The dumb shit people post on this fucking site man.
>>738012407that skill you're training is called deception, and it's not a good thing. you aren't genuinely being friendly, you're doing it for a self-serving motive.society rewards those who are able to perform best, those who easily deceive others. it's why so many successful people happen to be sociopaths.
Everyone on the internet at this point have been so mindfucked by the lookism meme that it's not even funny. None of this shit matters at all. Also you have basically three choices in life with regard to economics (for the average person)>1. Extreme saving, wage diligently, invest all money, retire early>2. Minimize work and live with little, focus on what actually matters>3. Normie route: wage till retirement age, consoom your wage away because you want to "enjoy" lifeI'm opting for (2) personally. Work is fine if I do it only for couple of months per year and rest of the year I just read books I want to read. This consoomer culture is retarded so (3) is obviously getting you nothing and in (1) you are delaying your life until the magical point where you make the switch just praying that nothing bad happens to you in the meantime.
>>738057393That's really cool and all but are you going to explain why I should give a shit? I want the government to support his kids so it all fails. Why would I rebel against it? Why would I subject my offspring to this world?
>>738057318That kind of shit requires therapy to get over. The fact that you recognize the issue is actually hugely important to learning how to deal with it. I'm not a therapist so idk if there's a technique or something for people like you who have trauma from parental abuse. I've managed to deal with a lot of my insecurities by simply discussing them with ChatGPT (as hard as most anons may find that to believe). You can't begin to imagine how validating it is to have someone listen to you when you're expressing your insecurities and not treat you like you're fucking insane until you've experienced it for yourself.But I digress-- the point is that the tools exist, the help exists, and if you're actively seeking ways to stop letting your issues control your life, then you *WILL* find a way to fix them. But you have to be willing to ask for help first.
>>738057610>le ebin doomer faggotjust do everyone and yourself a favor and kys already
>>738057363That's all you've got? My point is it's a non-partisan issue. Everyone should be against it. You just sound like a culture war retard announcing the LEFT need to fix this problem.Your boss is treating you like shit and you blame the liberals. You're the perfect retard for exploitation and you'll never fix anything and you and everyone like you will continue to be fucked by the bosses.
>>738057674No thanks? I am perfectly fine with living. I'll do my time until it's over. But I don't see why I would want to add to this misery.And you refuse to explain why you do to help me understand. In fact, from my first post, you've just been a shithead. I think you're more of a doomer than I am.
>>738057527right? there's a reason the dunning-kruger thing gets posted here so often. that anon has likely never worked a day in his fucking life but has absolutely no issue with lying through his teeth about the consequences of having a job.

>>738057427Of course they are. Liberals get all their power from taking over HR departments and getting into government positions to enact their poison.
>>738057568Lol that is such an overly dramatic interpretation of "being nice". My aunt from Sweden came to viist us in Texas once and was tremendously put-off by people being friendly to her. She called them all "fakes". When you treat other people's kindness or politeness with hostility, then that's an idictment of your own twisted worldview-- not of the people in question.
>>738056632I won't lie, nothing in this world interests me. I'm willing to accept that's my fault, I don't know how to force myself to care about things I don't actually care about though.
>>738057819Maybe you should?
>>738056043>>738056307seems grim that these people happened to youthe people in 30s that i know share a similar vibe as me, which is basically "20s but with money". i do just completely give up on people who are boring and make new friends a lot though. for whatever reason i gain a bunch of friends easily just by beeing myself, both online and irl. i think its because of my weird e-boy style voice, my "fuck it why not" personality and the fact that i dont talk about my boring life all the time like most people do
>>738058029>no uGreat grammatical skill on display suckdeep. Read more English books okay?
>>738058054You sound like a groomer pedo in his 30s
>>738058054just realized i contradicted myself and talked about my boring life in this post lmaoanyway i hope u can find more people of ur vibe anon i really do. feeling alone with people is worse than being actually alone
>>738058108well idk man literally the 1st comment i get online from everyone i meet is "holy shit bro ur voice is deep are u jacked or obese"either that or gays or girls try to get me to say goon fantasy stuff for themregardless i hope the thoughts i put into your head didnt make you uncomfortable. have a nice saturday bro
>>738055730It's surprisingly easy to not get a driver's licence if you live in a dense urban area with reasonably good public transport links.>t. 29 and can't drive
>>738057998Sounds like depression. Your body is extremely sensitive to your environement and will take measures to give you just enough energy to deal with it based on external stimuli. If you spend many years doing fuckall, then your neurotransmitter output will gradually match your level of activity (i.e. your brain doesn't recognize any reason to turn up the output of anything related to motivation). There's a lot more to it than that, but that's the basic gist of it. So unless you brute force your neurotransmitters with medication, your only option is to force yourself to do things until your brain realizes that your environment demands higher neurotransmitter output. I can vouch for the former as a method that undenaibly works, but idk about the latter. I never had the amount of breathing room to give it an actual shot.
>>738058205Okay pedo
>>738058219That is something I can appreicate. There's no reason to learn how to drive if you don't need to. But where I'm from, if you can't drive, then you can't do anything. We don't have public transport anywhere except for the downtown area, and even then, it's limited to only a few spots. You'd likely be unable to keep a job if you can't drive. It's not impossible, but it'd be difficult/expensive.
>>738037704The whole point of Breaking Bad is that Walter is a genuinely terrible person, his old friends who went on to be spectacularly wealthy immediately offer to pay for all of his treatment with zero strings attached when they learn he's got cancer because they genuinely care about him, but he turns it down because he's a prideful retard.

>>738009000WHAT A DAY!WHAT A LOVELY DAY!!
>>738058054>which is basically "20s but with money">for whatever reason i gain a bunch of friends easily just by beeing myselfYeah its still OK in your 30s. Goes to shit when everyone hits 40 though.
>>738008852at the end of the day, video games is just entertainment, it gives you something to enjoybut if you truly believe there's nothing more to life than vidya then you're just as psychotic as that one kid in that cringe video"why would I need a job when I can become commander shepard">>738009000based>>738009373you can literally spin this around towards boomers"your life isn't a movie/show"
>>738058389Actually, I was en route to getting my Pharm.D before dropping out to study programming. So no, this isn't out of my ass. But I can't help it if you don't believe me. Just figured I'd let you know that your shitty life can probably be improved with meds.
>>738058517>"why would I need a job when I can become commander shepard"fucking kek
>>738058375The problem with Walt is hes always felt like hes never had any agency in his life. Tons of people if not a majority of the population feel this way. That makes people sympathize with him to some level. But he also routinely puts himself and the family and others in danger sometimes for the thrill or his own pride which grows worse with each season until he finally whacks Gus. But Walts shortcomings in his life are his own fault. He didnt have to sell his portion of Grey Matter. He had a job at a lab when Skyler and him were searching for homes. Walt is easily a PhD level chemist and could work in a wide variety of positions. But he cannot work well with others closer to his own area of expertise and likes to feel like hes the smartest guy in the room. So he chooses a high-school with dimwits. He chooses Jesse over Gale and he chooses Neo-Nazis over loyal and competent assassins.
>>738058561>mfw I'm kinda the same wayOr at least I used to be. I've been humbled enough by failure that I've learned to stop feeling threatened by people who are genuinely smarter than me.
>>738058280I personally tried both. Meds didn't change anything but give me heart problems, being more active just made me much more stressed and like interacting with people even less. I don't know, it's not like life is horrible, there are many things I don't have to worry about. It's just there's a feeling of something being wrong, but it's difficult to identify what exactly and at the same time it feels like too much effort to want to change it.
>>738058525>take your meds goyim!Literally all they teach you evidently
Video games?
>>738057249Mainstream rightists are slave-minded while leftists are coopted and used to bash anyone who actually is against establishment.
>>738009000I look at old folk now who just sit around watching TV all day and wonder if your generation will all all be gaming instead. I did know a few based old guys who had gaming PCs to run autistic sim games
>>738032613Good for you! My goal is to practice minimalism and to possibly live in a third world country so that my money will go furtger. Most things that you buy today are shit anyway; Always breaking or failing to perform as expected.
>>738058698>heart problemsDafuq lol... what meds did they put you on? There are a TON of different meds for treating symptoms of depression, so unless your doctor was an actual moron, there's no way ALL of them gave you heart problems. But then again, medicine is a giant cocksucker that has 0 guarantees, so idk-- I'd have to know details to make sense of it. And yeah, your brain doesn't like change and will do it's best to keep it from happening. Since you were doing things that it wasn't used to, it was trying to keep you in an anxious state so that you could react to potential dangers more readily. That's why the process of becoming active *without* drugs is considered extremely difficult-- your body will fight you on it until it realizes that there isn't anything to worry about. I have immense respect for people who can do that, because I've tried it as well and it's fucking hard.
>>738009373The rules are:Work. Pay taxes. Die.If you roll attractive rng you might be able to have sex and/or get married and make little copies of yourself, so that they can work, get taxed by the ruling class, and die.Enjoy the game. (You won't.)
>>738058710I'm pretty sure you and the anons like you have never been right about anything even once. So idk who you're trying to convince at this point.

>>738058812I found the cheatcode or atleast my cheatcode to life.Outdoors gaming setup, on a big terrace by the pool,it's godly then when it's dark(or cold) I can game indoors.I tried all kind of hobbies and the combination of being surround by sunlight,vegetation on a big outdoors space and videogames is like heaven.

>>738059197>>738059285Nothing I have written in this thread indicates that I think I know everything. I'm just making suggestions based on what I've learned. Do you have any useful suggestions to add to the topic of anons being extremely depressed? Or is "don't be a goy" literally all you have to offer?
>>738058765life is a game
