I'm almost 30, have a wife, a good job, 2 babies, a cool ass dog, own 2 cars, finally own a 4 bedroom house in the neighborhood we wanted, my family is nice, don't have many friends but the ones I have are great people, I have a comfortable life.Yet the only thing that brings me real happiness are old video games and the nostalgia I have from playing them and thinking about them.I go through life being just a empty husk pretending everything's fine, when in reality the only thing that keeps me together is thinking of those days when I was free from all the bullshit and I'd play King's Quest 5 all night or play Sonic Adventure on my Dreamcast until I passed out.It's a weird feeling of happiness but also anxiety when I think back to when I was 6-18 and my life was actually mine.Thanks for reading my blog post, anons.I love you guys.
>King's Quest VEVERYBODY MOVES FUCKING SLOW.EVERYBODY *REALLY* MOVES FUCKING SLOW.

>>12689069I'm in a similar but worse situation. It's time poverty. When I was a kid I was money poor but could spend my time as I wanted, as an adult I am time poor but can spend my money as I want. But money doesn't help when you don't have time to do the things you want.
>>12689069>>12689150Same here, I look forward to when kids are old enough that they don't give a fuck about me and my wife is just kinda there, so I can go back to sitting on a couch playing vidya all day. Retirement is the only light in the horizon making me push forward
>>12689103OP can't decide if he's a millennial or a gen xerHis age ranges between 30-45, he's chronofluid
>>12689103>>12689179>You're only allowed to play video games when they releaseI swear the average IQ on this board is lower than /v/.
>>12689179Yes, no one can play a video game after they've released. They MUST play in the year it releases and NEVER AFTER.Fucking jeets ruined the internet
>>12689179he's a zoomer
>>12689189Yes, a zillenial born circa 1996 was indeed a dreamcast and kings quest V player. Totally fits the profile, my bad dude.
>>12689193More likely a fat virgin jobless millennial
>>12689203I was born in 1993 and was playing Megadrive games in 2001. We're not all spoiled little brats with rich parents.
I'm 33 and I've been a NEET ever since I finished school at 16.I can't drive, never had a gf, I live with my mother and all I do all day is play video games, jerk off and get drunk. It's fucking awesome.
In /vr/ even a year and a half ago this garbage thread would've been 404'd on sight.
>>12689069No one forced you to be a normalcuck bro
>>12689207Your parents must've hated you or got you one of these cheap 9000 games in one then, because modchipped ps1's were already commonplace.And by 2003 alongside the popularity of the newish psone model, it was the go-to console for those who couldn't afford a sixth gen.I can understand a popstation or tectoy shite, but dreamcast and 90's adventure games? Come on...
>>12689207>I was born in 1993 and was playing Megadrive games in 2001. We're not all spoiled little brats with rich parents.we're not all brazilian
>>12689246>>12689252These comments are extremely autistic and the lack of self awareness is hilarious
>>12689209>I can't drive, never had a gf, I live with my mother and all I do all day is play video games, jerk off and get drunk. It's fucking awesome.we both know its not awesome anon and im basically the same as you except i dont live with my mom and thank God for that.
>>12689527I'm not you.And I understand that I'm an odd duck to find this life enjoyable but I honestly do. If you gave me a wife, kids, a job etc. I'd honestly kill myself. I wasn't built to be part of society, in ancient times I'd be the village weirdo hermit guy who lives on a mountain or a cave and occasionally interacts with the villagers in esoteric ways.
>>12689530In ancient times you would abandon your mom??
>>12689534In ancient times she'd be part of the tribe and the burden of caring for the elderly would be spread out and shared by dozens of people. This whole "you're on your own and it's just you and your direct blood relatives" thing is a curse of civilisation. We used to live in groups of 50-250 people and do everything together.
>>12689536Except those who think they'd be a hermit?
>>12689543They were still part of the tribe, but they were essentially the autists of their era and would be given special duties like the Irish had druids who had to memorise dozens upon dozens of poems and stories and songs as well as serving as the medical practitioners etc. So you'd be there but like...off to the side...doing your own thing, until they had need of you.
>>12689069thats your problem, you got married and had kids, that shit just drains the fuck out of you.
>>12689664Yeah pretty much
