How do we cope with being 35+ year old gamers? My current concern is that i am getting older and older and a lot of cool games are coming out.
>>749547990You don't need to cope if you have a well rounded life which you should have attained by 35.
>>749548150What if you're very very mentally ill?>>749547990I have no cope, I just indulge in hedonism and hope to drown out the existential dread
>>749548150Post college degree, your marriage certificate, the deed to your house, and your kids safety waiver to participate in school sports right now.
just get a part time job and enjoy an extra quarter of your life becoming free again to play games.
>>749548343I'm diagnozed schizoaffective and have a PhD.
>>749548398>schizoaffectiveYou call that a mental illness? I can't differentiate reality from my hallucinations which can fool all the senses, try attaining anything in that state
>>749547990>a lot of cool games are coming out.Such as?
>>749548473Nothing good ol' olanzapine and amisulpride can't fix.
What's there to cope for? You got to experience gaming in its prime and get to watch it all burn.
>>749548536>fixes your hallucinations>but now your dick don't work>lose will to liveThat's like fixing your window only to break your front door in the process, oh yeah totally fixed
>>749547990>How do we cope with being 35+ year old gamers?I hate western games more and more.
>>749547990By not having these off topic sad sack threads you dumb motherfucker. >>>/r9k/>>>/r9k/>>>/r9k/
>>749548475can't post my full wishlist but there's plenty, plus i have a big backlog >>749548713janny wannabes are so pathetic it's beyond words, go apply to be a reddit mod
>>749548361Not OP, but I have all that minus the safety waiver because my kids aren't in school yet. 37.
>tfw not a pathetic mentally ill loser >wife>2 little girls under age 4>wife pregnant with #3 (still waiting to determine the sex) >own our home>not rich, but certainly not poor >every day is a blessingWish you all the best bros!
>>749548792yeah.....great games...
>>749548640>full hallucinatory schizo>only reason to live is to be hornydo your parents a favor and kill yourself.
>>749548361NTA and not going to dox myself obviously, but having all of those things isn't some kind of unattainable feat (or maybe it is, if you live in the US, idk). Myself and most people my age around me have all that, with the biggest variables being the number and age of kids and how happy their marriage is, I guess.>>749547990>How do we cope with being 35+ year old gamers?No particular copes, but I did recently go on a JRPG binge and I feel like I'm burning myself out going for all the grindy side-content bs. Might switch things up by starting something short and fast-paced before going back to the grind.
>>749548978>not a loser>has all that and still has to waste their time in this shitholeokay
>>749548792That's a nice selection, anon. Think I have at least half of those on my own wishlist. I just wish Exodus didn't look so cartoony and went for a more serious sci-fi style, like the OG Mass Effect.
my mom still buys my games
>>749549063Not him, but I come to /v/ for video game news, since it's typically the place that gets updates the fastest. You don't have to partake in all the assorted schizo and shitposting threads, if you don't want to.
>>749548640I really despise mentally ill retards that can fix themselves but don't. Your dick isn't working either way. Get a job. Or go paint. Still, if youre schizo enough just go take a shit in trumps toilet.
>>749548792Amazing how people tie their personalities to these shit threads and can't take it being criticized
>>749549679telling people to go to other boards isn't critique, it's you being a little bitch
>>749549172Well your mom loves you. Don't forget that, anon.

>>749547990The same way I'll cope with being a 90+ gamer: shitposting on 4chan.>inb4 >implying that 4chan will be around in 53 years
>>749547990I just don't buy games from a retail store. Imagine going to Target and buying a fucking videogame lmao. Steam is right fucking on my desktop.
>>749550397surely there will be an equivalent around
>>749550595>Literally graduated highschool in 2012>Still have dad and most of my hairDamn bro it's fucked up out thereI thank God every day my dad is the single healthiest man I know
>>749548640>fixes your hallucinationsdoes it really work
>>749547990>and a lot of cool games are coming out.If you believe that, you're a fucking lost cause and a retarded manchild.
>got a decent job >got a wife>got my own home>got disposable income to spend on my hobby>got plenty of free time to enjoy said hobbyLife is actually pretty ok when you stop to think about it.
>>749551178pax historia was a cool experience at firstsubnautica was goodterritorial.iothree examples of good new-ish games>>749550901we're here forever
>>749551126anti-psychotics do work against hallucinations, that is if you don't mind the side effects(it's basically a chemical lobotomy)
>>749551256>Have absolutely none of that but my parents and friends still love me because I do my best everyday (actually work just work a shit minimum wage job full time)>Also Dad is rich so I get money in my account sometimes>Still got my GrandmaMaybe being a 32 year old man child is ok
Some days it hurts because I feel I was genuinely set up for failure and I'm fighting a lost fight. But at the same time it's not like I got nothing either. But I'm nowhere near my peers and any comparison just makes me feel awful. I don't know if I'm supposed to undergo all that before things start getting better but I'm trying, I really am.
>>749547990
Mr bones I want off this ride
>>749551570Yeah being young makes you feel invincible and makes you think that you have the power to change a lot when most of your life is already on track and set up for it's destination.
>>749547990I don't have a wife or kid, but I have a house, a job and some trucks. Zero debt. You know how I cope with shit? I play games, because at the end of the day I'm in a better position than most people my age. And you anons should relax. Life isn't a race, play at your own pace.
>>749551570Jokes on them, the only thing worse than being in your 30s and posting here, is being in your 20s or teens and wasting your best years here ahahahahahahaha
>>749547990>a lot of cool games are coming out.
i actually want to be more productive but every time i sit at the computer to try to make or learn something i just have the worst urge to go to bed and doomscroll instead
It sucks but I don't want to wallow in self pity either. I got nobody and loneliness hits hard but maybe I'm just a fool for trying to stay positive.
>>749547990> lot of cool games are coming out
>>749547990Nothing to cope brother. God blessed us with a balanced family - two boys and two girls. Looking forward to bringing my eldest boy to our local Active Club soon. As far as gaming I've never been more excited with SI and the ejection of all the woketards in AAA. Got a big home theater setup for me and the boys to game big.
>>749550595>using your dead dad to gain some internet attentionWow this guy is fucking pathetic.
>>749551570There is no morning where you wake up and you suddenly just have a life and a family. You will always just have bibeo james, a computer screen, and the faggots on the other side of it. I wouldn't even begin to know how to change that.
>>749552326well first you have to want it, and then you think about what comes with it. it means you have to work even if you cant or dont want to. its a lot more than it seems
>>749547990Just ask your mum to buy the latest Xbox Star Wars. She has boomer money.
>>749547990I am 29, and I barely play video games anymore. Has been the case for the last 3+ years. I was disturbed at first, but now I feel free. You have to let go anon. I mean, it is fine to play games every once in a while with friends, but you should have better stuff to do. The industry definitely is not going to provide the types of games you want anyway.
>35 in a few months>got a job and able to save and travel and have luxuries and health is mostly good other than a few small things>but just never learned how to have friends beyond online ones and even then, not sure how to keep up with the few of those I have consistently because I find myself criminally uninteresting so never feel like I have anything of worth to say to anyone
>>749552749>find myself criminally uninteresting so never feel like I have anything of worth to say to anyoneI have the same problem, always takes such effort to even say anything, I have to talk myself into it for a few minutes just to say what's on my mind
>>749552853Don't know about you but I think being outright told that you aren't interesting or feeling overall left out during formative years does tend to make you convinced that you're the most boring uninteresting person on the planet.
>>749551349>be me>have a schizo episode>get some heavy olanzapine>just like anon mentioned lose will to live dick dont work etc>change it for something lighter doc>now will to live is back to normal, no schizo episodes, but gained weight and my dick works just fine
>>749552990kek yeah meds man, one step forward and one step back
>>749553182just gotta fix the diet, eating less and once I get my weight down It will be like eating candy
>>749553387Well best of luck, I'm rooting for you
I'm 37 now and it took me like 10 tries to finally beat the tutorial boss in the new Castlevania demoIts over for me isn't it? What age does easy mode become the thing?
>>749552990Interesting. I'm on amisulpride and olanzapine right now. I did lose the sex drive, but my g-d, do I get horrible suicidal ideations and general ridiculous panic when I stop taking amisulpride (tried it once after shrink said it should be fine). Olanzapine doesn't seem to do much, though.
@married wife havers.Don't you regret getting married and having no time to vidya? I see a lot of cope from people IRL and they would never admit it. But on here we are anonymous, so answer it honestly.
you have no idea of the mental torture of being a 38yo gamerwhenever i sit down to play a game, after like 20 minutes i get cold sweats and panic attack because my brain is telling me to do something productive with my life instead of sitting alone in my dark apartment and play videogames"i could be doing so much now, trying to socialize, find a woman, improve other skills"im thinking of all the other thing to do in life and feeling like playing videogames is just patheticmy brain is raping me
>>749553940I gave up on action and FPS a long time ago when I got tired of dying.Instead I've embraced my aging by playing turn based RPGs.
>>749553995Work fucks that up, not wife. Are you retarded
>moderation in all things>comfy work>comfy wife/ family>rotate freetime between painting models, watching sports, and vidjaAs always, skill issue.
>>749553995No, because we both play together, its both our hobby. Same games, different games, like I'm about to play Galactic Racer and shes upstairs playing Dressmaker and Octopath as I speakI dont take for granted that I hit a certain jackpot I know, I wish good girls or guys for the rest of you someday too
>>749550595This is pathetic. Mama filmed a very intimate family moment and this failure exploits it for empathy.
>>749554238you have the privilege of having a normalfag brainthe fact that you have a wife and family is proof that you dont belong herenormalfags like you have no idea how it feels to be a lonely autistic borderline schizo loser in their 30s
>>749547990I pray I'm still enjoying games by the time feminization gets removed from the industryFor the younger generations, all they've known is an over-representation of tough women. I wonder what they think about it
>>749553995I'm this anon >>749548978 and of course there are times when I want to be 100% selfish and play when I want for as long as I want, but the trade off for having my family isn't even close. Besides, everyone is in bed by 10pm so I have a solid 2-3 hours per day at night if I want to game.
>>749548978>under ageUMMM
>>749553940When was the last time you played dark souls?

>>749548978how will you cope when your girls go to hisgh school/collage and Jamal starts ravaging their little tight pussies?
>>749554128If its a social thing that your brain is trying to wrestle with, try something more multiplayeran MMO like wow or FF, some assfaggots like DOTA or Deadlock, something... find a group and get at it maybe
>>749554625No? See >>749554557 although I don't play console games on the tv anymore cause I don't want the kids to watch the games.
>>749554948are you me
>>749555001i would rather kill myself then play any of those games you mentioned
>>749554308Put games in the same room, or prove the usefulness. You're just estranging yourself from the most important human in your life, except while you only game within the same room.Do you know what the N64 challenge is?

>>749547990>a lot of cool games are coming outmay we see them?
>I come to /v/ for video game news
>>749554128I can relate somewhat, I get those anxious pangs of "why am I wasting my time" when I play endless time-sink games like competitive multiplayer stuff, sandbox games like Minecraft, Terraria etc. But somehow I tricked my brain into thinking that completing singleplayer games is productive because I'm """""working""""" on my backlog. So even if I waste 80 hours on a 6/10 game, I don't feel guilty afterwards. Brains are weird.
>>749556060sure
>>749556285ok but what does the anime baby have to do with that?

>>749547990Me? I game socially after the kids goto bed. I introduce my kids to different games in the family steam library when they show interest, but for now goat simulator 3 and tiny aquarium have an unshakable grip on them and they spend almost all screen time playing those two.

>>749548343>What if you're very very mentally ill?Then being a gamer is the least of your problems.
>>749547990have a hobby or two that doesn't involve vidyahave a "normal" job that gets you out of the house 3+ days a week
>>749548997Not OP but it is indeed a rarity to have a house and family today. The average age for first-time parents is on the rise every year, and the gap between home buyers and home sellers has never been higher since we started tracking the data. Without exaggeration, in the US having a family and a house is now an actual honest-to-God impressive achievement. If you have done that my hats off to you, you should be proud of your accomplishments.
>>749551705This is true, you are largely not in charge of where your life goes and a lot of it is just luck. Tomorrow someone in your family dies and that can immediately cause you to spiral into depression.
>>749556550I've completely abandoned the idea of marriage because I love weebshit and don't want to be forced to abandon the things I love for a woman I don't. The upside is I'm extremely financially secure and on track to retire before 40yo. No regrets yet>>749556365That baby's voice actor was accepted into MENSA with an IQ of 140+ and is smarter than everyone ITT. Just thought that was interesting

>>749557512>No the kids dont deserve to suffer for my mistakesSo show them now that they don’t need to settle for a life they are miserable with so they don’t make the same mistakes retard.
>>749547990I'm 38. Why would that stop me? If anything, I'm safe from vacuous shit like Fortnite, and have more money to spend on the games I've always liked. Also, if the industry goes to shit, I know I can simply emulate and play all those masterpieces I've missed over the years because I was always a Playstation kid.And yeah, my life is pretty busy and balanced. That means a single game can last me like 4-6 months.

>>749556720trades
>>749547990What is there to cope with?Uncs got to grow up in the industry before it went to shit. Imagine growing up in an age of roblox, minecraft, and fortnite when they could have grown up with SNES and PS1 classicsGetting older doesn't prevent you from enjoying new games, and unlike zoomers you can still go back and enjoy the old games. Unless you had aspirations to be a pro fps player or something, I don't know why this would ever be a problem.
>>749556720Networking. Im a people person and dont scare women from just looking at me. I have high charisma and actually know things. >>749556769It isnt hard finding the money only the job. Nothing to larp about here. >>749558338When it is time to meet someone yes, it helps to do 200 push ups a day to keep arm strength up.
I have abandonment issues so relationships are crazy hard for me but outside of that I can't complain.
>>749554128Similar.I genuinely feel like if I was more autistic I would be happier, despite the obvious negative stuff coming with strong autism.I have collected hundreds if not thousands of games in my backlog that might interest me for one reason or other. Of course some of them I might end up not liking, but I do have this feeling that I wish I could spend my whole life going trough it all and I could imagine it all taking a full lifetime and yet I can't, because i'm not autistic enough to be not bothered by my own brain when trying.If I could just have my brain not be depressed by such a lifestyle, if I could ignore outside forces urging for a different life or what should be and if this also wasn't burned in me because of reasonable expectations from childhood, then everything could be so much better.
>>749547990Is it weird that im older than you and have completely lost any expectation that a good game that i could play forever will come out? At best ill get a fun distraction i ll beat over a week or month then go back to playing counterstrike. Even though im bad at it at this point it still find it fun.
The last AAA game Ive played was elden ring. Didnt even bother with the dlc.I havent seen any big game since that made me excited or drove me to buy another console or upgrade my machine.Indie games are still enjoyable but its started to become swayed by 'markets' and less so passion projects.
>>749558783lucky bastard
>>749559382NTA, but making yourself attractive to women is a decision that you have to make, and an investment you gotta take seriously. Doesn't come naturally for most people -- you have to mind the way you dress, smell, and talk. Doesn't mean you need to stop being yourself, but you have to attune yourself to the other person. This also applies to interviews and professional networking.Hell, this is where all that "hide your power level" shit comes from.
>>749547990that guy was a child celeb?
>>749559790There's no hope for me. I can do a few of those things and I am, but I'll never be able to fix how I talk because 99% of my thoughts are weird things I can't share because I'm severally crazy basically

>>749560004I dunno. I was told I was a weird MF during most of my teenage years and early adulthood. I'm 38 now and still get that from time to time, but still make it work and still got laid like crazy before I got married.>>749553995I don't regret it at all, my wife is pretty cool. I'm certain I'd be kicking myself if I hadn't married her. Then again, I also miss being single and the kind of fun and time I had for myself. Still, nothing beats having a family.

>>749561027Women usually stop sucking dick entirely unless they really like it or are essentially trained to do it. Sex is somewhat the same way but more based on her libido and how much she wants to please you. I have sex every night (other than when she’s on the rag) and it is without exaggeration one of the biggest things that gets me through every day. Idk about normal guys but the release is a huge help in keeping my mind focused and not worrying as much about anxiety. I suspect this was very much the standard in human relationships prior to the 19th century, because my life before this when I had to play mindgames and bullshit around for pussy was completely different and I was consistently annoyed.
>>749553995she also plays games, currently grinding zuma's revenge, but we play puzeel games or stuff like syberia or guild wars together. she's also a flat jimikoapproaching 45 atm.
>>749562536Anime is cringe.
>>749547990Just dont play competitive multi-player games inhabited by psychotic screen addicted children and teenagers, and you will be fine.Remember that video games are toys, and need to be enjoyable to play with to serve their purpose.
>>749562609oh good that you mentioned it, we also watch anime together, last one was og evangelion and 86
There is no reason to get married unless its for residency in a foreign country.
i don't want to work my life awaywant a part time job, but i also need money to survivewe live in a society
>>749553995I have no regrets getting married. My wife used her lunch break at work to bring me mcnuggets so I could have lunch in bed before I get back to gaming while she heads back to the office. No one I could do this if I was single.
>>749547990>a lot of cool games are coming out.I'm 38 but I don't have this problem.
>>749563053That is way too much sauce

Family haver here. I have certain sympathy towards incels. They are most likely born in very toxic households (by toxic i do not mean domestic violence), they have certain mental disorders, grew up in toxic grounds, toxic schools, awful workplaces. Genetic disorders, being victims of scams and etc awful things comes with being in high inequality, low opportunity communities. I haven't played video games today.
>>749563590Nobody cares.
>>749563928I care, I asked in my mind and he must be psychic
>get back from vacation>200 emails>60 missed calls
>>749564210the trick is to never come back
>>749559084having a backlog is cancer, just play the first game that comes in mind
>>749563590It is what it is. You have failures in every society. The issue is the scale. It’s clear even to normies now there is a concerted effort to make it difficult to start a family, but their responses are always something banal like housing costs and salaries. It would help, but even if everyone were freed of major work I fear it wouldn’t much help. Younger generations are honestly fried from nonstop propaganda beamed at them 24/7 from the cradle. Even if they all became millionaires effectively, are they prepared to be parents? No. I am quite fearful for the future, but hopefully it’s unwarranted.
>>749564210This but switch vacation for a single fucking day
how do i find a gf in her 20s? i only interact with 30+ roasties and it makes me want to kill myself
>>749564358I find it amusing of this hatred and disgust that family people have towards those who don't have any. As long as someone who not a nuisance, a burden or a threat to society then that person is not a failure. I think many married people with kids just don't want to admit how miserable and terrible their lives are and in secret, or when they are intoxicated enough, will admit they wished they never did it in the first place.
>>749548978I don't know a single well adjusted person that likes to flaunt their (completely average in the grand scheme of things) achievements just because they know it will hurt the people that read it. Are you just shitty people wearing normalfag skin? It will catch up to you if so, you know?
>>749564330trvke
This pretty much a must read for 4chan at least I wish it wasNormalfag on here is a state of mind. Failed normalfags are the worst of them all by the way.
>>749565051
>>749564763There was a comedian named Tom Leykis? That said they say this stuff because they are actually miserable. I remember one time a caller who called his show was talking about his married friends and how miserable they were and all their problems to him. And despite their misery they were telling their single friend, the caller, that he should get married too. I'm of the opinion people should do what makes them happy. As long as a person is not a burden to society, a criminal and are not a nuisance to everyone then that person is not a failure.
>>749565051>2012Truth nuke as true it was 15 years ago as it is today.
>>749565234Just read it
>>749565482
>>749565051most social arenas in life and online are not based on exchange of ideas but rather by social credit score comparison. for 4chan to cultivate unique discussion it has to glorify asceticism and not status. otherwise it is no different from any other arena
>>749553995I'm playing MapleStory Classic with my qt and I cum in her womb every night. We also play Warhammer Fantasy and other /tg/ together. I love her so much it's unreal, I'm obsessed with her and I think about her 24/7. If you don't feel the same about your gf/fiancée, then do the both of you a favor and ditch the bitch for someone you actually like. Never settle for a normalfag Becky you secretly hate, that's not fair to either of you.
>>749563053How do you end up with a gut like this with legs that scrawny? Attack on Titan physique
>>749556364The only SOMEWHAT cool games in that list is maybe ill , tides of annihilation, dark mass and hopefully dreadout 3. im sure ill and dreadout 3 will be just decent at best anyway.I have hopes for Dark mass tho.. an underwater mansion horror game sounds kino as fuck, i hope the execution will be done right
Reminder, and as you get older it will only get worse until it's truly over.

>>749547990I heve lost interest in video games. Cant play for more than 15 to 30min, regardless of genre. I think Persona 3 Reloaded was the last game I played throuhg when it came. No friends, no gf, no car, no career.t. 43
>>749566114In my experience others' experience differs by a huge margin. For me it's a rollercoaster things get worse, then better, then worse again I never know what's nextI wanna get off mr Bones Wild Ride
Why is this board suddenly full of normalfags? What happened to all the foreveralone khvs?
>>749566357Just between you and me, but I think most of them killed themselves

>>749568225Is it you? Are you grooming children?
>>749568393no im not into children, but give me a call when she turns 16
it never began for me. I'm not giving up though.
>>749548473Wait if you post on /v/ of all places isn't that bad? I mean it seems like you'd end up thinking and stating things that don't make seoooh right.
>>749568330>shithole country in SEA>5K € per yearNiggy it's not early 2000s anymore, you'll live like a fucking hobo.
>>749547990I avoid long games with too much story because i know i will never finish them.
>>749548473Great this new age where people compete on who is the most retarded.
35+ year old gamers, got any advice for a guy who is a decade younger? You were in my shoes 10 years ago and that went by pretty quick
>>749568603i already live like a hobo
>>749568657You guys are fucked desu.

>>749568746No i'm a retard no sane female would want kids with me.
>>749568657Yeah I have the best tip anyone could give you, leave this place now while you can and never look back, but you won't, seriously do it now
>>749568657Learn to codeInvest in Bitcoin Get on the property market as soon as possibleLol just kidding, just try not to kill yourself, there's always a chance something wild happens and maybe when the deck gets reshuffled you won't be getting fucked as hard
>>749568746no matter what you try to do you can't escape from you cursed fate
>>749568657if you have any ambitious life goals, just start working on getting there. Unironically just start doing it, whatever it is, however small the steps every day.
>>749568774>live a very modest, local lifestyleFrom living in Europe to being a hobo in SEA what a deal.
>>749568657I'm 34 but don't be a neet if you are one. I completely wasted my life.
>>749547990At least you still look forward to games apparently.
>>749554128I tried being heavily productive and nothing helped, I even regret it now. Obviously playing videogames all day is retarded, but the fuck are you gonna do socializing at 11pm? Or what skills are you for sure gonna pick up that's gonna be valuable in the age of ai?Faggots who live in big cities must have a ton of places to go to at night I guess, but at least for me there's nowhere to go.
>>749554128You are a sheep and a retard. If you want woman that much then go find a hooker.
>>749568657go outsidetry to be a normalfag and go to social events even if you hate itunironically, train yourself to socialize to give you better odds of getting a gfthis is on top of getting your own shit together financially, dont put it on the backburner because it becomes impossible to do past a certain point
>>7495686571. Time flies. You can waste time, but be aware of wasting it.2. IF you are going to college, can't speak on trade schools, you should do: Go to community college cause it's cheaper and transfer credits to a uni. Get a degree that is in demand or actually has a use in society. Work at a company that offers tuition assistance. Make sure you go full time, go to summer and winter semester to get it done with. The longer you drag it out it's a time and money sink. NEVER EVER drop out. IF you have to need to take a lighter load then do it, but never drop out. Try to get college down ASAP.3. If you're in the USA always contribute to your 401k. Always try to save money. Put money in investments and high yield savings.4. Having debt is not bad if it is used for productive purposes. Always pay off debt ASAP. Pay off as much as you can. 5. Keep a good credit score.6. Always try to be employed. 7. Be careful where you put your dick in and treat your sperm as like credit.8. If your parents were good parents don't hold grudges and enjoy them while you can.9. Be redpill. Don't go to the extreme of it and never be black pilled. Redpill is a useful tool and thinking to make dating easier and help avoid potential pitfalls.10. Have hobbies that have one or more of the following: Socialization, exercise, mental improvement, something useful that can help you in your life. Select a few hobbies and stick with those.11. Don't do drugs and smoke. Drink sparely or not at all. Avoid fatty and processed foods.12. Always workout and stretch each day. Even a simple short walk is better then nothing.13. Have friends for each occasion. Friends that you workout with, friends to shoot the bull with and friends to game with.14. Don't keep toxic people around. 15. Having a woman in your life should be a positive. It should improve your life, challenge you in a good way and someone who is partner. If she doesn't have those qualities get rid of her.

>>74956930416. Cars are a waste of money. Get something that is reliable, something that is useful to you. What I mean is that if you get a Jeep and you do camping and off roading then that's ok. Don't get a Jeep because it looks good.17. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, wear a hat when going outside. If staying outside for a long period of time wear protective clothing. Brush and floss daily. Get your regular check ups. Make sure to drink plenty of water and keep your skin hydrated. Eat wholesome food and avoid junk. If you follow this you will not only look younger when you age, but save on medical bills. Your health is the most precious asset.18. Live frugal. But know when to have fun.19. Be respectful of law enforcement and don't do stupid or illegal shit. You don't want to be in the bucket. 20. It's never too late to change. To change things use the SMART method. You are going to make it.
>>749568657Have fun while you still can. Save a little if you know you have no one to rely on.
>>74954799042 and my biggest problem is my fucking backlog.Oh yes. I bought SW Racer but I haven't installed it yet because I'm going through THREE games right now.
>>749568657Don't keep putting shit off. You put shit off long enough and eventually a year passes. And then another year and another, and suddenly it's been half a decade. Go out there and do the things you think you should do.If your relationship with your parents is decent, make sure you spend time with them. Even if you think it's boring, go do it. I wish I could still spend time with my mom.Save your money and look into making it do things now. AI makes it so easy to jump into this. You don't even have to go all in on the stock market or anything, there are plenty of safer ways to make your money work for you. Just make sure your money is doing something rather than nothing.Try to be friendly with everyone, and don't make enemies. You never know when someone you've met along the way will be able to come through for you somehow.If you want kids and a family, start thinking about it now. You can't just snap your fingers and be ready for all of that instantly. I'm 35 and coming to terms with the fct that I don't really have much time to find a wife before I become a legitimately old man. Life moves way too fast.
>>749569302Good advice here.

>>749570109Based. There is an arabic saying, kill all normalfags
>>749570102It's still pretty old, especially if you're starting from zero and looking for a wife as well. It also gets harder to find a younger wife. Paretal age is a huge factor in the health of the kids, not just for women (though they get affected by it way worse).
>>749569545Why? Because he fucks college girls with daddy issues? Sounds pretty based to me
>>749570234literally endless spaces to go be faggots in and they come here of all places, this is why every time i meet an indian guy i tell them about reddit
I feel like being 34yo with no sexual experience means I'm straight fucked since woman have so many other options, not to mention any decent woman already being taken. How do I cope with this? also monhun being destroyed is pretty sad, and all my friends have a gf so it's just me now
>>749568657do something, do anything, never be doing nothing.job, dating, the apps, working out, school, always be doing something. its so easy to do nothing and just exist.

>>749568657>Workout, even a little bit. You don’t have to enjoy it, but having even a little bit of exercise in your routines will have a massive effect on your health and being a sedentary slob will generally catch up to you in your 30s even if it doesn’t feel like that in your twenties.>Never waste opportunities, especially social ones. Missing out on them due to laziness is one of the greatest regrets I have.>Try to put at least some money into SP500 or world ETFs, you will hate yourself later on if you completely miss the beneficial effects of compounding interest.>Keep healthy relations with your parents unless they are irredeemable assholes. One day they won’t be here and you will hate yourself if you ruined your relations to them due to some petty bullshit or indifference.>Appreciate your health, appreciate your time, both are limited resources.>DON’T FUCKING POSTPONE THINGS THAT COULD IMPROVE YOUR LIFE
>>749570637Not a big deal for some countries I guess
>thinks its possible to have a college degree *and* a houseSo, I'm married. I have two daughters and a son, I'm a home-owner, I work 36 hours a week I earn commission on top of an... okay salary.I ain't never set foot in a university.University is a place for geniuses and people with 100 IQ. The worst IQ to have.I would genuinely rather be like me with 80 IQ, cause my stupidity protects me from dumb shit like "Hey if you work extra hours, I'll do this for you."Im stupid enough I can't be manipulated, I can just be like "Nu-uh. You give me that promotion, then I'll do extra hours. You're a liar."And it fucking works. That's the secret to success, be retarded and too dumb for manipulation to work on.
>>749570281You're exaggerating and making it sound worse then it is. I have friends who had their kids in their mid thirties and all their kids turned out fine. With the medical tech today it's not as bad as you make it to be. You're still young to find someone who is still young. You will just need to utilize every source to find someone though and be efficient about it. I have 40 year old friends how have 30 year old girlfriends. I was 32 when I met my wife who was 20 at the time and we have a few kids. I'm 43 now. You just need to start now.

>>749568657You're fucked in ways beyond your control that you do not even know yetNever assume things are going to get betterTry to enjoy the things you still havePut your pride down and spend some time with your family. While you still have themThe local population of brownskins and crime rates are not going to go lower over time
>>749570942Yeah I was completely unhinged at the time. I was her supervisor while we working at the bank. Combination of work, stress and not giving a fuck anymore made me do crazy things at the time. I remember exactly when I told her we should date. She was complaining about the guys at her school running their lame game on her and I told her, in front of everyone, we should date. I told her "We should date. You have all these young guys going after you and they are desperate, thirsty needy and clingy and it's turning you off. Meanwhile you are getting older, the clock is ticking, your gaining weight and the parents are wondering when the grand kids are coming. You like how I watch out for you, give you rules and enforce them and make sure you get proper nutrition. I need a young and fertile wife to have a few kids with. When the kids are 18 and you'll still be young and if you want a divorce I won't stop you."
>>749547990Easy.>a lot of cool games are coming out.This isn't true.
I love video games more than ever, I just wish I didn't have to wage so much so I could spend more time playing and talking about them
