no regrets
Nothing you ever do or could do would mean anything when you're dead.
>>740195356no matter what you did you ended up in the same place anyway so what does it matter?
>>740195356>i am glad i am the AAA audience
>>740195356It is kind of real though, isn't it?Like, we're wasting the best years of our life on experiences that don't really exist, some people here are spending thousands and most of their life on video games.Video games don't make you any smarter, you don't get anything out of them. In the time it takes you to play any video game you could be learning a real skill, you could go to school, you could learn a language, but instead that time is being wasted on these toys.
>>740195458Based
If those games were good, then it wasn't a bad life.
>I'm sure glad I spent my entire life making my boss millions for thousands!
>>740195458holy based
>>740195626Real life is not very good, specially after the coof killed everything.I managed to effectively escape silent hill for a big city, but it's everything dead, it's too late to enjoy IRL now.It's all dead and unfun.

>>740195356This but unironically.
>>740195356Yeah same
>>740195356Unironically yeah. I'm just here on my free time
>>740195626We don't live in a time where there's anything much better out there, though.Everyone is choosing experiences that don't exist over experiences that do exist. Not just with games, even things like half the news being about twitter posts, online replacements for relationships or friendships, doing virtual activities instead of gathering in real life, having AI answer all their emails, etc.It's not because everyone has suddenly become retarded or morally bankrupt in the space of 20 years. The real world just became worse than it used to be, and the imaginary world is better than it's ever been.
>>740195743>it's all dead>i'm depressed and everything is badNo, it's not. You just need to find the right people to spend some time with.
>>740195356me too
>>740195356oiii ojisan gachas are not actual videogames
>>740195868The "right people" are just shoved in phones now.
So glad I raised a family and left them in hospital debt after I die ACK!

>>740195626>Video games don't make you smarterThis is far too broad a generalization. There are games out there that definitely offer nothing particularly enriching, but this isn't true for everything.>you don't get anything out of themAgain, this kinda depends. On the person, on the context in which you're playing something, there are multiple factors that can determine if something is gained from playing a game.It kinda sounds to me like maybe you just don't see the value in fiction.
>>740195356I'm sure the woman you settle on after fucking half the town/village/hood you came from will be super satisfied and content with a close-minded retard like you.

>>740196084This isn't how that works. US Healthcare is dogshit but it is individual based unless you are a child then it is your guardian. This isn't some Asian country where you inherit the debts of family.

It's okay, I think OP is coming up on his mid life crisis and when he checks in on /v/ he sees people having fun and has to cope. Don't worry bro, there's always time to sit down on the couch and play some games.

>>740195356this but unironically >>740195458third post best post
Yeah, I enjoyed experiencing the art, technology and culture of the people on earth while I was alive, what's wrong with that? Don't get mad at video games because your life has no meaning.
>>740195458based
>>740197125America isn't #1 for childbirth mortality, but I don't think you should be celebrating being below Lebanon. For other countries:>#137 - Russia>#141 - Canada>#144 - United Kingdom>#149 - South Korea>#150 - FranceYou're beating China I guess?
>>740195626I am going to school and I have a girlfriend and im going on vacation experiencing life ect. I still absolutely love videogames. I get that this is bait but its genuinely sad some people truly think that enjoying yourself is somehow bad
>Another demoralization threadThere are probably millionaires on /v/ who have done more for society in a year than OP's done in a lifetime. Judging people by their entertainment is silly because people naturally get bored and pursue other things if they're not zogged out golems. Judge them by their fetishes instead
>>740198309>has to imagine other people being successful lol
I'm sure glad I worked 80 hours a week and chased pussy and got divorcedWhy are young people dropping out of society?
>>740198172This. I love the art, technology and culture of Blue Archive.
>NOOO YOU CAN'T JUST SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE ENJOYING YOURSELF, YOU HAVE TO DO SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE THINGS LIKE SLAVING AWAY FOR BILLIONARES AND UH, GROCERY SHOPPING, AND UH, TIPPING 30% AT RESTAURANTS lol.
>>740198337I'm surrounded by successful people. Stop projecting; that misery is going to give you an early death.
>>740195356>I'm sure glad I worked for globohomo for 40 hours a week for 40 straight years
I've been through "normie" arcs where I've done drugs regularly drank with normie crowds, had 3 gfs in total, gone through NEET arcs, currently employed and more of a shutin work x gym x gaming and I've never been happier, if you're a true gamer you never regret gaming, I'll never forget beating my favorite games for the first time, if you're such a faggot about it go join a course and do a phd or something and leave us alone
I'm glad I got to experience gaming in it's prime.80s thru to the 2000s.Now I get to sit back and watch it all burn. Which ironically has been more entertaining than playing anything.

>>740195356vidya is the least problematic part of my life. Autism and other mental disorders, the rising cost of living due to greed. All of it are far greater concerns than me playing some vidya james.
>Fortnite...heh, now THAT was a game...*beeeeeeeep*
>You're wasting your life unless you work for billionares who hate you and don't even know your name, and spend all your money buying slop from billionare companies like mcdonalds, and uh, starting a family so you can give all your money to some bitch who will probably divorce you statistically speaking or cheat on youLol.
>>740195626>learning a real skillSome skills are useful and can be applied practically at work or home, most won't be.>you could go to schoolI'm 40 and working simple jobs, if I wanted higher education that would've happened 20 years ago.>you could learn a languagePointless if no intention to use it in any genuine capacity.>time is being wasted on these toysSo be it, I'm at least choosing to.Do things because you want to, not because someone told you do to it.

>>740195458
>>740195356I did all the things I was supposed to>good job>house>wife>kids>mature, skill-based hobbies like music and sportsBut honestly the most fun shit in life is still videogames
>>740195626The really important thing is you should be doing things with friends and loved ones. Whether that's videogames or something else.You'll be just as much of a lonely sadsack if you spend your time learning real skills by yourself.I learned this lesson the hard way. Don't be like me. Hold onto every friend, it has never been easier to stay in touch.
>>740198716Rather be sent to hell instead if this world was his image
>>740198716Well i didn't "just played video games". i spent my life inside the machines, even before the internet.The plans for me were to be some sort of cyberwizard and i did follow the plans and accomplished it.
>>740195626I play games because it's fun and I enjoy them. I don't need to compare my accomplishments to others to judge my happiness. (:
>>740198913>t.
>>740196084Am I mentally ill if the thought of dying surrounded by loved ones in a hospital seems repulsive and pathetic to meI literally unironically want to die like Ryan Gosling in Bladerunner 2049 (literally me)

>>740199032The prince of this world is lucifer, the world was created in God's image, perfect, immortal, full of bliss, then the red faggot convinced humans that that shit sucked ass and we could become God instead, humans broke the only rule there was and got kicked out and had all privileges revoked.Fast forward and you have what we have today, a world originally designed to be perfect but now in the hands of an asshole that has hated us since minute 1 and whose goal has always been making us suffer and then die and suffer forever in hell.Humanity chose living this shitshow, and you are choosing and even bigger shitshow in the after life.
>>740199728cope
>>740197183Yeah it just kind of got grindy and repetitive, and the dev added too many impossible achievements
What a retarded mentality. Why should you care what you did with your life when you're going to die anyways?
This, but unironically.
>>740195356>I'm sure glad i toiled in the fields all those years >I'm sure glad i attended all those boring meetings>I'm sure glad i made all that small talk with strangers at the sportsball dome
>>740199269And the people who claim this the most are the ones corrupting it while pretending it is somebody else, the church, the billionaires who pushed religion as a control mechanism for millions of years etc. Nobody is more spiritually dead than an average American Christian good goy slave. You think spirituality is a false feeling of moral righteousness and obedience to your masters, no connection to anything outside of yourself.

Life is short. Spend as much time as you can at computer. Seriously. The outside world is bad and also boring, the internet and video games are all you need.
>>740197183FROGPOSTER MOGGED.
everyone is gonna die, but that's not all. every star in the universe will die. every nebula, every black hole, every possible thing you could imagine will be snuffed out. then the universe will be a cold, dark, empty place void of any energy. this will go on for infinite. there will never be life again. we are going to die and we will never wake up ever again. for an infinite amount of time.
>>740195458I kneel.
>>740195356So what should I be doing with my life
>"I sure am glad I spent all those years playing vidya">Dies and all his memories and experiences get cast into the voidor>"I sure am glad I lived my life to its fullest">Dies and all his memories and experiences get cast into the void
>>740195356It's unironically a very unique experience that the untold billions that preceded us never got to experience. We're genuinely lucky to have lived (at least us uncs) in the early to late periods of game dev, so many experiences, worlds, stories and what else manifested into reality by conscious beings in tangible form.It's likely no other living being is experiencing anything similar in hundreds of millions of light years around us.
>>740195356>I'm sure glad I chose to have fun in my lifeYeah - why wouldn't I be?

>>740195626People run to escapism because the real world is truly terrible, now more than everVideo games are not the only form of escapism, people have been partaking at lower rates in different ways all throughout history, but we're hitting a very high level of escapism that everyone is participating in as a part of our era>>740195868>"the right people">look inside>have to be a fake person

>>740195356
>>740195356as opposed to what exactly? gaming is a hobby. nothing more or less.
>>740198172>Yeah, I enjoyed experiencing the art, technology and culture of the people on earthI find myself wondering about the devs, localizers, programmers etc...whenever I finish old games and stuffI'm working through Armored Core and I wonder about all the devs and localizers and stuff like that, it was a quarter of a century ago after all
I simply refuse to die.
>>740195356Stop doing these threads faggots this should be bannable.
>>740200572Would do anything to take the life force from one of these pathetic, ungrateful faggots sitting in comfort whining that they are too weak to do anything. Instead I have already lost everything that makes being a human worth while, I am so weak I just fell on my face on the pavement outside and fucked my eye up because my knees gave out when I bent over to pick up my dog and I am only 35 a nd only getting worse, when the steroids stop working and the pain comes back I have decided I am done.
>>740195356Should I not feel glad?
>>740200859that's an ice troll from wc3 they don't say that
>>740201172Pretty sure they do.Jabutay.
>>740200840My perspective doesn't come from a place of superiority, I'm just saying that finding genuine people is very difficult and I've seen people put on the fake persona for shitty people and suffer for itNo need to project
What's more memorable /v/, the video games you've played or the life experiences you've missed out on because you were playing video games?
I will convert to Catholicism one second before the lights go out. All my sins will be forgiven and I will spend the rest of eternity in video game heaven where gacha and remakes don't exist.
>>740201247no way
>>740195356As opposed to hoarding + gatekeeping land and houses you purchased for 2 bags of lentils, one jar of raw honey and a handshake in the 70's while your children and/or nephews get ritually humiliated and raped by satanists daily?Just asking.
Doesn't matter in the slightest because "life" is predestined bs anyways, we are all playing someones save file apparently.
>>740195356Going into my mid twenties, my greatest regret is not playing more video games.I spent much of my formative years scrolling social media and sleeping all my free time away. To think I could've spent that time cleaning off my backlog, enjoying more adventures while they could be colored with youth...Now that I've got more energy thanks to cardio+better diet, I'm gonna be gaming like the devil
I switched to gambling on sports for fulfillment.

>>740197183>Skipped the tedium, only enjoyed the best 20%Good on him.
>>740195626Gaming is a leisure activity. Look at normies who don't game: they fuse with their couches and watch slop on TV, or browse the internet all day (facebook for boomers, shorts for zoomers, etc). The more outdoorsy types might sit on a rock and drink, possibly while talking about work or drama with likeminded losers.Not having a hobby won't magically make you twice as productive, you'll just waste time a different way.
Sometimes I fear the dying process because obviously that's scary, but other times I don't really care about it. I just don't want to be awake and aware for it.
>>740201251>finding genuine people is very difficultno shit thats why that guy used phrasing you completely bypassed i.e the right person

Leisure activity is downtime. As long as you have uptime too, it's fine.
>>740195626> learning a real skill, you could go to school, you could learn a languageI went to college and graduated from medicine. I learned english as a child and am learning japanese. I tried violin and guitar but didn't stick, I trying flute but don't know songs. I'm equally dissatisfied with life.You shouldn't "get a job", "study hard" or any of that shit. You should have fun, dick around and aim for acceptable at work. You should pick friends wherever you go, commit to some and filter the rest. Sharing that fun and liveliness is the only real skill that bears any fruits in this hell.Also, life is a cliff you fall off from. You're all still falling, you choose whether to surf on your feet or take the hits headfirst.

the realest shit in life is love and connection to other people...its the only thing that TRULY feels good...not in a dopamine hit kind of way but in a soulful way...gaming is fun but being with someone you love is even more fun...

>>740195626"Real" experiences are mostly not enjoyable
>>740202732Learn to truly love yourself, and you can experience this every single second of your life.
>>740202732What about gaming with someone you love?
>>740202678you probably didnt actually like video games to be honest, I know too many people that were complete losers in school but latched onto gaming for a way to have access to friends, they grew out of it because they never actually enjoyed it and it was merely a conduit for socialization, youre also probably below like 25 so youre still naiive enough to think all that shit is real
>>740202836i hate myself but my gf likes me...which is the best feeling in the world..
>>740195626>experiences that don't really existhow do you figure that though? how is the fun I had raiding molten core with 39 of my bros any less valid than the fun someone else had visiting rome or a third person had going to a nightclub? or should all three of us have been learning to code?
>>740202839that sounds like a nice way to spend time together as long you both enjoy it..
>>740202871You are the person who makes your gf happy, so you should probably be pretty grateful to that guy and take care of him. You already jerk him off all the time so you could at least show some affection too.

>>740196084I wouldn't want my family to see me in such an undignified state.And my mom said me the same thing, we'd rather die quickly than slowly agonizing and shitting and pissing ourselves for days while being a nuisance for our family.

>>740202660What would that accomplish?>"Hey anon, how have you been?">"Well, since you last saw me I spent 10 years unemployed and living off my parents until I got lucky enough to get a job at fucking Dominos, then I tried to join the military to have a future and got a mental health discharge before I even got out of basic, then tried to kill myself and spent time in a nuthouse, been working at gas stations ever since. Oh, and I had a job working tech support at the community college I graduated from for about 3 months until budget cuts happened and I got the chop since I was the new guy. Haven't been able to get a job in tech since, and now thanks to inflation and stagnant wages I'm back to living with my parents, except now it's only a matter of time before they die and I'm homeless."All I could do for them is bring them down or depress them, and they deserve better than that.
>>740195356i used to laugh at these threads 5-10 years ago but now i don't.I've been a NEET for 20 years (15 to 35) and I wasted all my youth playing video games and watching shit. never went outside at all.im now 35 and i don't enjoy anything and i have nothing in my life.I would sell everything i have to just do something, anything else and to have someone beside me.

>>740203208Shut the fuck up mom I'm playing Skyward Sword you don't understand me
>>740203170video games didnt ruin my life you retarded teenage minor. my peers rejecting me did. go outside? okay where? where i can see people who were accepted by their peers pushing baby strollers and taking their screaming brats out or going on dates to places that were considered gay or lame whenever i suggested them? Seriously kill yourself sadist and do us all a favor before your fellow shitskins do. Video games were one of the few things that brought me joy in life. My peers were the ones who ruined my life by refusing to talk to me and invite me into the fold. I stopped putting myself out there to be a target and you disingenuous fucks used to rightly get their lights knocked out for even posting stupid ragebait like this.
>>740203336jeez, you must be fun at parties

>>740199030been there done thatit's not like I was my friend group's pariah or anything but I just don't see the point of going back to having them
>>740195626>Video games don't make you any smarterthey dont need to make you smarter>you don't get anything out of them.you get fun out of it, plus it's proven to be cathartic in multiple ways, for example it's been postulated that video games are a reason massive reduction in youth violence. video games are only a problem if your entire life revolves around it. like if you're a neet with no job, education, etc. it's not a problem if you have a balance life, as with anything. it's far better than doing drugs, drinking, fighting, rotting on the couch, etc.
>>740203551Internet friendships are not real.
>>740195626I only liked about 4 girls in my life. 3 of them completely broke my heart, the last one doing everything she could to destroy me. All this with me now being 32yo and having never even kissed anyone.The ''real'' life isn't for everyone, I rather spend my days happily as a gymcel and playing games when im not there or at work.
>>740203189holy baseeeeed
>>740202952You are too, dumbass....
>>740202972anon that is literally mental illness. you need to find the RIGHT people/person. I did the hermit shit for like 10 years because I felt the same way and all it accomplished was making me more dependent on games and media, i was literally only surviving and hiding from my emotions which in retrospect was terrible for me and my life generally speaking
>>740199728Gods fault since he knew about it from day 1 and didn't stop it
I don't mind wasting time playing video games because as the saying goes >Time You Enjoy Wasting Is Not Wasted TimeBut the problem I have is that I've wasted a considerable amount time bed rotting and doom scrolling instead do anything that is actually productive or would bring me joy.
>>740203336I feel this 100%. If people throughout most of my life werent such assholes then i would have had a better life. I would have had a good sex life and maybe a gf right now along with a kid or two. But guess what? They all told me to go fuck myself and im so fucking tired of it. To the anons that actually have gfs amd kids and all that shit, be grateful for it.
>>740195626i know this is bait but i love getting preached on by a larper who is definitely wearing piss stained underwearwhy is this the one hobby that has bitches like you? do you also post this in /m/, /mu/, /a/, /fa/, /tv/, /co/, /pw/ and /sp/?Genuinely what are (YOU) doing here? be honest for once in your life.
>>740199030my high school “friends” reached out to me recently and I’ve hung out with them twice so far. The last time I was with them I had to hear someone call jk rowling a conservative unironically and the only woman in our group sperged out after a guy talked about a date he went on with a 19 year old, saying 19 is still a teenager. He is 23.I brought this up with my parents just to make sure I’m not the crazy one, but they just agreed with her. These are the same people who complain about johnny somali type tourists in Asia and then call me a racist for applying that same logic to illegals and “refugees” flooding western countries.I think some people should just accept that most people aren’t worth keeping around or taking chances on. Just fucking cut them off.

>>740202978Hyperinflammatory disorder that I haven't found a way to get rid of without constant steroid use, and a drug and food hypersensitivity that makes most foods and almost all drugs cause increasing pain. So far I lost 3 teeth from neuropathy, my urethra collapsed and has to be reconstructed surgically and now the scar tissue is being hypersensitized by inflammation so I can't ejaculate or anything anymore without burning and seizing for a while after, my stomach ripped open from all of the problems with it so I have a hernia and tears in the lining, my brain tissue is hypersensitizing which is the most hellish thing that could ever happen but at least the steroids get rid of it while I take them. Just everything has been destroyed and it will take a miracle to fix any of it, it's a long story.
>>740195626really nothing matters when you are dead. like maybe having some kids to keep you company before you croak is good, but otherwise you carry nothing over when the lights go out

>>740197183Nah, this shit is an MMO. You're like Sisyphus; every time you get close to 100% completion they add more tedious shit. It's never worth it to get completion in MMOs. Just like life, one day the game will go offline. Your descendants can't even appreciate your juiced up character. My saves on the other hand? They will be passed down in my family until the universe's heat death.
>>740203275The sad part is the most I've managed to accomplish is very meaningless shit.>was one of the 25,000 banned permanently off of Napster for downloading Metallica MP3s(I didn't even know it was an unreleased song, I was just downloading shit)>added some ROM and RAM addresses to datacrystal.org>figured out cheats for the JP PS1 port of Wizardry 4>helped a small romsite build their collection and audited it against .dat files from no-intro and redump, maintained the MAME romset for the site for a while>created emulation packages for 86box for DOS and Win3.1 loaded with tons of games all pre-configured and ready to playWhee.

You people are such fucking pansiesIf my present is enjoyable, I have no regrets even if I were to die that day, no matter whatWhy the fuck do you care what type of life you lived once it's already over? It no longer mattersWhat's with the arbitrary 'milestones' you "should've" accomplished during your life? You're not taking any of that with you. Your legacy does not matter, in due time, even that legacy is gone, humanity will be gone, there will be absolutely nothing left of your achievements, and you're still worried about things beyond the grave?We all live in the present, past and future don't exist, enjoy the here and now. Positive nihilism. Keep yourself healthy, be a good person for your friends and family, and have fun, fuck off with this "Wahhh wahhh, I wish I'd done more" TOO LATE RETARD, should've thought of that in the here and now
>>740195356>look back at my life>try to figure out if i have any regrets >i did exactly what i wanted to do, when i wanted to do itYeah, i'm glad.
>>740205718>figured out cheats for the JP PS1 port of Wizardry 4Care to share them?
>>740195356This but unironically. Imagine falling for a grift making you waste your life away instead of enjoying your hobby.
>>740195626>on experiences that don't really existMaybe the experiences that do really exist shouldn't suck so much ass. Real life is boring as sin. I've done the travelling meme, i've done the nature meme, i've done the urbex meme, the sports meme, whatever normoid shit you can think of, i've done it, and it's all boring as shit. Only video games, music, and painting are fun.Also i find the insinuation that my experience "isn't real" when i'm playing a video game to be utterly retarded. Everything in life is just stuff that happens before my eyes, there is quite literally no difference in the "real-ness" of me observing shit.

I DONT WANNA DIE SOMEBODY FIX THIS, DO I NEED TO GO TO CHURCH? HOW DO I HAVE MY CONSCIOUS/SOUL STAY ETERNAL. I HAVE HOBBIES
>>740199116It IS repulsive. I'd want to die away from my family and kids, just have my passing be like an eternal trip somewhere. I don't feel like it's good for anyone's mental health to be forced to see the person you love draw their last breaths in front of you. Leave a good image of them, not one where they're in a fucking casket.
>>740195356Video games are one of the few forms of entertainment young people can still afford and they're trying to stop that as we speak with $70 being the new norm for new AAA releases.
>>740199116my dad was told by hospital he needed indefinite care and he said fuck that and walked out. went home and died within a week without telling anyone. still not sure what to make of it.
>>740195626You could have done any of those things you listed instead of posting this fucking word vomit, you stupid nigger.
>>740206257don't worry, there's probably more to life after death. it would be extremely retarded for you and everything in the universe to just exist for no reason, and for life to just abruptly end. you'd don't have to be religious, just don't stress about life after death. just try to be a good person and you'll be good.

>>740205802Currently working on a 86box pack for DOS monochrome and CGA games for the original 4.77mhz 8088 IBM PC, supposed to use a dual monitor setup that switches between the two depending on what a game needs, and uses the other screen for instructions/maps/helpful info. Been a slow slog though, since there is no real good source on video standards DOS games used. Mobygames will generally say if a game supported Mono or CGA, but it doesn't tell you if it supported something better until you click on each game and check the specs. Even then it's missing a shit ton of info and games. I've been forced to create my own autistic spreadsheet and manually check every single game myself. Got about everything released up to 1984 properly ID'd and indexed, but there's still a few years of games that couldn't do better than Mono or CGA to dig through.

>>740206408Demiurge here: Uh about that, sorry I didn't plan that far ahead um you just cease to exist it's like all of creation before you were born except after you lived um sorry no point to anything lol whoops.
>>740206408The only thing that makes me think life after death might be possible is that 30 years ago I suddenly started being alive after not existing. And when I die I'll go back to that same non-existence. If it happened once, why couldn't it happen again?But I don't know if this idea is comforting or horrifying.
>>740195626Wow you’re telling me instead of having fun I could be working? Why didn’t I think of that
>>740206959the way i see it our bodies are basically just compatible vessels for whatever our souls/consciousnesses are...its some real crazy shit that we can just come into existence and experience things while also being able to reason and think and love and hate.

>>740195356That's nice, I'm happy for you that you don't regret the way you lived your life
>>740206962working is good for you, you can still play games for 6-8 hours per day weekdays and 18 hours per day on the weekend. I don't understand people who don't have jobs, it must be such a shitty life to have zero money and arguably no future at all outside of sitting in a chair and watching pixels change. People call porn addiction bad but it's literally the same shit as gaming, just massive artificial dopamine hits and time spent for make believe accomplishments and experiences. Being a NEET is literally a dogshit life

>>740195356Relevant?
>>740205498He created our time, he should have his own time.
>>740195356Doesn't matter, I spent years trying to get good at music. Wasn't good enough to be good. I regret all of it. Gaming hasn't disappointed me nearly as much.
>>740206341>AAA releases.there's your problem
>>740207291NTA but I'm having issues finding a job after losing my last one.There are way fewer listings than I remember (which doesn't surprise me) and I was mistreated pretty badly during my last job which sorta revived an anxiety disorder I thought I had under control.Being a NEET is indeed a dogshit life. I wish I could make money without an employer, but I'm not sure where to start. My degree is collecting dust anyway.
>>740207178Thanks for sharing. I knew about the HP manipulation and the monster editor but that's way more than I thought. I will have some fun with these for my next playthrough.
>>740207523keep applying anon, I had the same struggle this year, ended up finding something after several months of embarrassing unemployment, hiring is almost a volume/social game now it seems as opposed to credential-based. I just got lucky, having a degree of any kind definitely helps even for unrelated jobs.
>>740207523I'm in that situation right now. Some guaranteed passive income, enough to cover the bills. Enough left over for groceries and that's about it. I need some solutions.
>>740207643Statistically, I can confirm that it does help to have a degree.That is all the use I'll get from my degree today.I promise to apply to more shit tomorrow.
>>740207535Have the inventory control.300C7176 000000XX300C7178 000000XX300C717A 000000XX300C717C 000000XX300C717E 000000XX300C7180 000000XX300C7182 000000XX300C7184 000000XX300C7174 0000000X(0-8)Note: A bit complicated. The first 8 codes specify which item is in which slot. 00 being empty, check the list for the item code wanted. The 9th code controls how many items are in your inventory. If you are adding an item to your inventory, you need to make sure this is equal to how many items will be in your inventory after you finish. Turn code off after using to restore normal inventory function. So if you have an empty inventory, the last code will be a 0. To add in the item needed to make Trebor stop following your ass around in the first slot, you would change the 300C7176 XX to 69, and the 300C7174 code to 1.Some of the most useful item codes are:01 - Bloodstone02 - Lander's Turqoise03 - Amber Dragon04 - Holy Hand Grenade of Aunty Ock05 - Winged Boots06 - Dreampainter's Ka07 - East Wind Sword08 - West Wind Sword09 - Dragon's Claw0A - Hopalong Carrot0B - Cleansing Oil0C - Witching Rod0D - Aromatic Ball0E - Void Transducer0F - Kris of Truth10 - Inn Key11 - Crystal Rose12 - Dab of Puce56 - Silver Gloves57 - Get Out of Jail Free Card58 - Golden Pyrite59 - Oxygen MaskBut it has items for pretty much every value up to 77, after which it's just NOMSG errors that do nothing.
>>740195626It's all cope, the lot of it, all these replies.Trying to rationalize away what we know to be true.The truth of the matter is, most people who regularly browse this cursed website are miserable.Be it genetics, be it environment, or spoiled dopamine receptors, whatever the cause may be, we are simply incapable of enjoying life as much as we should.Thus, we cope with this low risk, low effort, highly stimulating activity, where's there's no risk of social defeat, nor requirement of proper social skills, nor of physical prowess, nor of a healthy and sharp mind, all it takes to be good enough at most video games is sinking in time.Not only that, but most effectively in youth, video games tend to serve well as a social crutch, most of the friendships I've ever had were born out of video games and maintained using them.I'd much rather be doing real things, but I can't, I've spent years of my youth attempting to, to the extreme of burning out and falling ill, and I've failed every time.

>>740207523It's brutal out there. I got super desperate and applied for medical jobs, which there are plenty of. You can be a registrar at a hospital for around $20 and they're always dying for people. Of course you're going to see some shit but from there you do it for a year and you can branch out.
>>740195626I'll never feel bad for doing things I enjoy. Good try tho.
>>740195356I’m fortunate to wfh and have time to read, practice guitar, and work out. All things I enjoy and that challenge me. As for the rest of the time, I have a night owl schedule and I’m exhausted after work. That considered, playing a couple hours of games and watching a movie is relatively productive.
>>740208302>all it takes to be good enough at most video games is sinking in time.That isn't true at all. Even children are better at video games than game journalists.
>>740195626Nothing of it matters once you die.Live your life like you want, death will come to you in the same way as if you hadn't.No matter what you do, sometimes you will wish to be able to go back in time and do that over, would the result be objectively better? Who knows, it could also be worse.In the end this self-doubt is just another phase you go through life, everything in life and death is transitory, you go through those phases and you come out of it in a different state, your objectives may change or you might remain the same, but fighting against your nature is always a meaningless fight. If you're even very interested in learning a new language, you will do it, but if you're not then you won't bother, anyone who says otherwise is larping or chasing an illusion.Just live your own life, death is innevitable anyway, there is no use in trying to experience everything there is before it happens, because it is not doable, you only have enough time to do what you want to.
