>>712886919 (OP)
I think old people could easily enjoy BG3, considering it's turn based. It has difficulty settings too.

I had a bit of a breakdown and existential crisis after taking care of my grandpa for about 8 years despite starting a career and getting a degree, because I lost a degree of freedom and part of identity. Until last night I just realized I was fucking retarded and always will be retarded so now I am at peace, strangely enough.

>>712887529
Either finish school or get a Job a step above part time burger flipping.
That's it, you just need to be doing something beyond what you could of done as a teenager.
25 is the cutoff year where your peers and friends will start to not have the same time for you anymore and will move on with their lives if your not able to do that bare minimum.
The really tricky one is having your own place and some form of mobility or prosperity with your work by 30.

>>712887529
>what do you do as someone who's 24 with nothing to show for it?

If you really want to change your life, you should study something. If you don't even try to fix your life, you'll be in your 30s with nothing to show for it, and it just keeps going. Your life never fixes itself and you need to fight your destiny.
That's my advice as someone in my 30s who failed at life. What's crazy is I did try in my 20s, but I gave up every time. I couldn't find the motivation to do well at school or hold a job.

>>712886919 (OP)

You can't just skip steps. At least go to trade school and learn a trade. Something to sustain yourself.

how hard are the fights compared to undertale's or even spamton? for now i'm taking it easy playing with a relative, just finished ch3
are the mandatory fights first-try? how do the secret fights measure up?

>>712889643
Its not that hard overall but you knw that scripted fight at the end of act 3?
That's the superboss you need to beat and is currently the hardest fight in the game.

It's over as soon as you turn 18 and leave the school system without a well established social circle. You go to work, but you won't make any friends, just coworkers. You join a sports club, same deal. It's over, because everyone already has their social circles locked in since childhood. You'll be nothing more than a coworker, destined to be alone for life. Social life and relationships are like trains you have to catch at the quay, a race against time that takes place during adolescence. And by extension, logically of course, no social life and no women.
But normies don't understand this because they are clueless normies who think you can walk into a bar full of strangers and magically form a social life like in The Sims. Only women can start from scratch and create a social life and get a boyfriend from scratch because of their status as women.

Whether you're 30 or not it doesn't change anything, maybe for the normies, but for you and me Chud, a year is like any other, the sands of time flowing towards nothingness, nothing more.. nothing less.

>need to beat
*completely optional super boss with scripted loss

Posted this last night but only got a couple cursory convos around it, would like to bulletproof it more so pls criticize
1/2

The prophecy has changed, possibly multiple times depending on how exactly previous events unfolded, the words have remained the same, but the characters have all been swapped around from their intended roles. The true heroes of legend are Goner with (you), Dess and Asriel with Kris being the intended roaring knight and Noelle being "the girl".

Arguments for this boil down to a few key points, firstly being that it fits the prophecy much more closely in describing the human soul with cage and parts, Dess had love find her already with Asriel being her bf before being lost in the bunker and Asriel is most likely the first person to discover dark worlds, which is why he created Castle Town, the everlasting dark fountain it runs on AND left Ralsei (a valentines plush Dess made of him before she disappeared) with instruction to try and attempt to subvert the prophecy for the better, Toriel and Asgore getting their crowns in dark worlds confirm this idea even further, he would undoubtedly fit the prince of darkness description.

>>712887529
kill yourself, you fucked up and it's too late. Better start over

>>712892258
Right I forgot to clarify for the shadow crystal.
But if you not going for the shadow crystal pieces you miss out on so much espically in Chapter 4.

>>712892276
2/2
Secondly, Kris is the only true knight in the entire game, they are the only character seen utilizing a traditional knight's arsenal while the "Roaring Knight" is much less pronounced as a knight, they use a bat, no shield and seemingly has no armor at least in the traditional sense, the visor is fake and they look more like an eldritch beast when using their full power. The attitudes seem different as well, the Roaring Knight doesn't really seem to be protecting anyone or anything per say while Kris absolutely sticks up for and protects their friends, independent of our influence even though their and the Knight's interests line up to some degree.

Thirdly, the Roaring was likely supposed to happen on a shorter timescale compared to the scenario we find ourselves in Deltarune which is why we're starting to see little holes pop up in multiples aspects of the prophecy. The panel and subsequent room showing "the girl" pasted everywhere is showing us that there are now divergent paths for a prophecy that was supposed to be clear-cut and straightforward, indicating that something has changed, I think the iconography is showing how Noelle will NOW have to be "the girl" to complete the prophecy and it will happen regardless if you take control in weird route or not (hence the panels both with and without hearts). Gerson is also hammering this in during the whole chapter while interacting with you and especially Susie, different interpretations can make a difference in this prophecy. Assuming the player is the Angel foretold in the prophecy also clearly explains why Asriel would ditch town suddenly beyond Dess's disappearance and stash the Goner in the locked door within the castle (Angel wings surrounding the door with a heart), Asriel thinks this might be able to stagger the prophecy indefinitely until he comes back with a solution but instead the prophecy restarts with different characters after Gaster inserts you and you overwrite Kris's soul.

>>712891564
>>712892345
I see, figured as much. haven't even bothered to use a previous save-file yet since i figured i wouldn't miss out on much by doing a standard surface-level completion with the senpai
after i'm done with chapter 4 i'll do a full snowgrave from the beginning and try my hand at the knight then

>>712893156
That's fair, however I do suggest doing the chapter 4 boss regardless. Its not to hard and important for a characters development while making events later in the chapter even better with the added context.

This picture is the most out of sync with reality thing I have ever seen. You have no idea how bad everything is. And it's only going to get worse

Every time I see one of these doomer threads, I feel like contributing, but I also remember when I was in that mindset. It's not simply the hopelessness but the absolute certainty of it. I had to move countries before getting my shit together. I hesitate to say I got my shit together, but I used the burst of motivation of living in anime land to get enough experience and confidence to bag a wife, get a decent job, and start a family. Now with kids in the mix, I'm too exhausted to be a hyper spurg, although it helped in the beginning that the Nips have no radar for Western spaghetti, so I had time to uncringe myself, so to speak.

I still can't stand going back home, though, and when I do, I spend most of the time plastered on booze and drugs because I can't stand to listen to anyone speak in my native tongue.

>>712899386
How did you get a job? Did you already have experience in your native country?

>>712899386
I wish I could get the motivation, but everything I do is a failure. Today I failed my driving test before even leaving the parking lot.

>>712899681
driving tests are humiliation rituals, don't let them get to you.

>>712899386
You just need a pulse to get an English job in Nipland, but mid-30s is pushing it unless you're willing to work for some black companies. From there, though, you've gotta try finding a proper job. These are much more competitive and selective, and everyone wants them. Connections, like with any job, are your best bet.

That being said, I was a teacher back home (never going back, the kids are boned), but that experience means nothing. English teaching here is really a joke.

>>712899681
If it makes you feel any better, I failed the written portion of the driving exam in my home country twice (which the DMV lady was surprised because even retarded fuckers pass). The one in Japan took nine times because my home doesn't have a license transfer agreement, HOWEVER the test here is extremely biased and not a little racist. The one I passed had nothing to do with my driving and everything to do with me using all the right, polite mannerisms with the instructor.

As for motivating, while I did get some, at the end of the day, nothing fixes it. I was fortunate to develop somewhat healthy habits regarding study and exercise in high school, but my social life was and will forever be shot. The thing I always tell myself is: "The world isn't gonna wait for you to get better." It's an admittedly extremely toxic way of viewing things, and may lead to self-destructive habits, but that's my two cents as someone who was (and still in a lot of ways is) in the muck of it.

>>712897294
What race are you? If you're white you can still JBW in Latam or Asia.

>>712899887
It was my fault though, I have no idea why I did what I did, it was the stupidest shit, and my driving instructor let me drive through the town without any issues for a few hours before the damn exam, with only minor mistakes.
>>712900056
>"The world isn't gonna wait for you to get better."
Yeah. Just took too long for me to figure this out. I'd add that you gotta be selfish, at least to an extent.

I wish I could change but I have extreme neurotism and fear, I wonder if it was baked into me from my mother, my own choices or bullying. Nothing I have tried fixes it. Its like eveything I must do in public is high wall, the climb never gets easier as it is with the normal people and when I slip I am little lower than where I started.

At this point I just realized its inevitable that I need to hero when my parents get too old to sustain themselves or die.

>>712899386
i plan on moving to japan at some point before i'm 30. right now i'm getting super jouzu at japanese while i finish up my bachelor's. idk about starting a family or anything, but i'd like to live there a couple years or so. an english teacher i talked to at a bar in tokyo made it sound like a pretty cozy life. i dunno, i have no real ties to my home country and it seems like a cool thing to do. it's nice to have a long-term goal at least.

>>712900056
Fuck I meant this for >>712899569.

>>712900425
>selfish
I woulda whole-heartedly agreed with you0 before, and it took me years to realize that the woman I was dating wasn't pitying me or just being polite. She legitimately enjoyed being around me, which is something I'm still coming to grips with many years down the line. I think that's what a lot of us need, that person that is just persistent enough (you have to meet them halfway) to make you realize you are actually worthwhile to be around.

I still to my core think associating me must be torture for anyone and that I'm being selfish for exposing myself to them, but every now and then I find myself forgetting, which part of me considers weakness, yet in the end, it's the closest to progress I've gotten.

>>712900824
Getting work in Tokyo is tough unless you're willing to work for some dogturd companies. Surrounding regions are more manageable. Personally, I've spent enough time in Tokyo and can't stand it. Give me my cozy countryside where I stick out like a sore thumb, although I actually live in one of the few rare regions of Japan that as a sizeable immigrant population (that's not from an Asian country).

Oh, and the only cozy thing about teaching English here is that the job is largely a joke with minimal responsibility. It's a work vacation in every sense.

>>712901041
Are there non-English teacher jobs you can do in the countryside?

>>712901138

This is extremely wrong, at least on some level.
You underestimate how hard your social circles reset once you have a kid and your own place.
I don't really talk to any of my college mates anymore other than some formalities on birthdays or if they're passing by my area.
Meanwhile guys I've met through my kid, either through friends at school or football practice, have become some of my closest friends - and most of the socialising I do is with my neighbours or partners of my wife's friends.

>>712901190
He is wrong that social cicrcles are "locked." He is right though that if you were for lack of better word friendless and missed those formative moments it will bake into you and even having some of those formative moments but going 5-10 years without meaningful social interractions will fuck you up.

Of course there are the rare examples of people who bounce back but most of the time these are people who thought they had it worse than they did. (Eg few years as neet)

>>712901138
I mean, there are probably some niche stuff, but even factory positions won't higher some random foreigner unless there's a sizeable group of their nationality already on the work force. So no.

I'd also like to note that I still live in one of the more populace cities, it's just not a place anyone would visit unless they knew someone from here. We have not one, but TWO Burger King locations! I consider that a status symbol in this part of the world.

>>712901190
I'm in a similar boat, compounded by having moved abroad. I know expecting people to fork over the dough to come visit is a bit much, but their response to my having kids was largely muted. Too many "why would I bring a kid into this world?" people that couldn't honestly tell you when a better time to have a kid was. Don't have a kid if you don't want, but don't then list a bunch of additional reasons that sound like cope.

Your life hasn't even begun yet. Find something your interested in or have some kind of goal, even something as simple as getting physically fit can be enough. Make small changes a little bit at a time towards that goal and you'll get gradually more used towards working towards something. The rest will start to make sense as you go. I'm 33 and I feel like my life didn't even really begin until 30. You'll make it.

As you get older and assuming you seek the truth and don't remain an ignorant NPC like most normies, the more you are looking forward to the end as you realize how transitory life in general is and how pointless everything is.

It is difficult to understate just how much psychological damage occurs in the young mind in never experiencing love when it was supposed to. It creates invisible but ever present and outwardly manifesting psychological wounds that may heal over time, but never disappear. It is a lifelong crippling of the mind, affecting things like confidence, self-esteem, healthy thought processes, and inability to cope with the difficulties in life in a healthy way. It breeds attitudes of perpetual envy and anger and depression. Especially when said individuals are constantly bombarded by images and media of people having lived their best life while they missed out and can never experience, ever. Because time is only linearly forward.

A means to try and "heal the mind" which has already happened for many who have resigned themselves to apathy and quiet resentment, but it doesn't remove the scar. The scar is always there. Always present. And it will always serve as a reminder, and always influence future thoughts and decisions and actions.

>>712920525
Birth is also unpleasant, especially the first few months as your organs develop. Babies constantly cry because they are in pain from processing the food and other health problems as the immune system is very weak. Luckily you don't remember any of these, but so is death, some get lucky and die instantly (heart attack) others die a slow death of cancer and other nasty diseases. It's all random of course, you just gotta make peace with the cards you've been dealt with in life and in death or better said as you get close to death.
No amount of worrying or praying or doing anything else will change those final moments. You can check out cartel videos where they skin and cut people alive, it's agony but eventually they bleed out and die.

22 years old just graduated uni with a Bachelors in info science & tech. I've gotten absolutely nowhere between the jobs I've applied to and interviews I've had. Do I just start chucking my shit into an AI chatbot and have it churn out the perfect worker resume or am I just fucked.
