30+ gamer thread

>turn 29 next month
>have done nothing with my life and still live at home
Just end me

It takes me weeks or months to beat games cause I can only play them on the weekends. I also have too many hobbies now that I'm older. I miss being a NEET sometimes.

30 here, I mostly waste my time downloading obscure games than playing them

I'm modding hoi4

34 here. Just dropped Dragon Quest 3 Hd2d. It's fine but I don't think I like jrpgs anymore

>>713407948
39 here, I miss being a NEET too. Having to work to survive sucks. I barely can play anything like I use to. Still can play SNES/Genesis games on my phone at least.

>>713407918
set at least one goal that's hard but achievable for before you turn 30
spend a little time every day working towards it
the force of habit is the only thing that will change you, if your habits beget inertia then persisting in them will show you the same scenery over and over again

39 in July
Love me some Factorio
Love me some sof

>>713407858 (OP)
i hope these threads are still around in 5 years when i turn 30.

32 here, played the alters and then busted 18 loads to lewd thoughts in my brain and then busted my 19th nut in my wife when she came home from work. Now I'm watching a video about yanderedev, surprised my dick isn't sore.

>>713408317

Wait which sof are we talking?

Are you guys cut or uncut?

I was playing Nioh 2 but I put it on hiatus. Was at that boss that's a big dude with the tusks. Not in the mood to deal with this shit right now. Starting playing Morrowind instead since I felt the need to play something comfy.

>normalfag blog thread

Life is overall good, still working from home, my salary increased, I now have a PC and I'm planning on learning 3D modeling. I've been playing Deltarune since Friday and today I even played Pump it Up after a while of not doing so. Did you know that the next version will release on Steam? I just found out today.

Still friendless, still no girlfriend, but I'm healthy, so I haven't given up hope.

>>713409178
>I wasted my life so everyone else should too
Cry about it, NEETie.

29 YO KV, friendless, directionless, NEET. Think I'm gonna try out Vintage Story after lifting weights.

>>713409190
Almost 40. Wfh since covid 2020. God it feels good to cross off money from my misfortunes in life.

>>713407918
I turned 23 a week ago and I'm stressed over becoming older. Any advice anons?

>>713407918
I'm turning 30 in a few months and also live at home. If I can't find a second job to move out, I'm probably just going to end it all tbqh
>>713407948
I wish I could find hobbies. playing videogames and watching tv are pretty much all i do and it's basically impossible to make friends, even with other dorks because people find me boring because videogames and obscure jp tv are the only topics I can talk about

I'm getting back into fighting games. I don't have the patience to play MP games where you're locked into a 20-30+ minute match anymore.

Nothing really keeps my attention anymore. Except 8-bit games still do, because they are generally simple and I don't have to learn complex mechanics. But I feel guilty playing them, because I don't gain anything from them generally.

>>713408317

Don't take your health for granted or it will come back to bite you in the ass hard.

>>713409438
Don't smoke, don't drink and exercise regularly. Eat healthy.
>t. 40yo alcoholic smoker

>>713409438
Take care of your back, teeth and knees. Exercise often, try to read a book at least once a year and try not to eat too much garbage.

>>713407858 (OP)
Doom the dark ages rocks! Pure gaming that looks cool as hell

>>713409438
get a job. move out. get friends, some hobbies and a girl. If you can't lock all that down by the time your 30, you end up a fucked loser like everyone else posting in this thread. Don't piss your 20's away only playing games, you will regret it, and it will be too late to course correct.

>be 25
>Not allowed in this thread
Cmon, let me share my boring life here.

>>713409438
if you have good parents they are the only people who will ever actually care about you so be nice to them even if they get annoying sometimes and dont take their love foregranted.
get a shit job so you can see how bad things can get and then work towards getting a better job.

I've started weight lifting, roughly 2 months ago. can do pullups now. Trying to eat healthy, I don't drink, smoke etc
>>713409563
What kind of books?
>>713409603
Already moved out, but I live in a small town so my chances of meeting friends, women etc etc are miniscule

>>713409486
>playing fighting games with no patience
your pretty much obligated to practice for hours a week if you want to win any amount of matches

>>713409685
Not the same thing, that's at your own pace. Not the same as being locked in a room with 10 other people.

>>713409683

Anything you like, reading is good for your brain. Don't be gay and listen to audio books. Read the bible if you want my suggestion.

>>713409486
What fighting games you playing?

>>713407918
I was like you almost a decade ago. moved out at 32, nothing really changed, I just work and do my hobbies on my free time.
Embrace the loserdom and enjoy what you have or do something to change it, but don't cry on the floor, it doesn't change anything.

>>713409683
move out of the small town, it sucks but if you want to make friends with /v/ related hobbies, you'll need a bigger pool of people to find them. that or pick up non-/v/ related hobbies, should be a lot easier to make friends and meet girls that way. Vidya as your only hobby basically damns you to never connect with girls, I strongly urge you pick up other hobbies if you haven't already.

Finished the main story of Nioh, onto the DLC and then I'm debating on whether or not I move on to 2 or keep going. It's my first time playing and I ran through it with an Odachi, usually geared myself via Revenants in new areas and just got by okay. Winding down with a new FF1 run on my phone, running the 8 bit theater party.

>>713409438
Yes
Don't listen to retards on /v/eddit.

Enjoy your 20s as much as you can.
Everything else is gonna be shit no matter how much you grind.

Turning 34 in august, bought a 5090, 9800x3d, OLED monitor, then lost my job to AI. Thankfully I'm retarded so the government will give me 2k a month, moved back into my parents house, old dog is about to die, got put on pills by the dr for my anxiety, turns out if you stop taking them you die. Am just so fucking depressed, in debt, and I have no idea what to fucking do. Covid ruined my life. I was living in Japan with a cute Japanese fiancee, going to have a kid, COIVD happens, cant see fiancee for 3 years, we break up, meet crazy girl who beat me, i kicked her out and stole her computer parts she ordered in my name with her credit card. Its been such a fucking long 5 years bros. I wanna go back but i can't. Now I'm some fat fuck on benzos at my living at my parents house about to go into default on loans because no one wants to hire a writer anymore. I was making 4k a paycheck bwos...FUCK AI so much i fucking hate it.

>>713409667
>work towards getting a better job
yeah good luck in this economy. Employers can afford to filter out hundreds of applicants for bad vibes, getting anything but a shitty entry level job is impossible without connections.

>>713409923
What kind of job did you have that a fucking text predictor stole it from you?

>>713409438
stretch
dont get fat
wear sunscreen
call your parents (unless they're genuinely horrible)
learn to cook
if you gain an interest in something or pick up a new hobby, approach it slowly. don't dump hundreds/thousands on it in the first 6 months, spend time on it instead.
dont drink more than once a week and try to avoid getting drunk
there are 0 hard drugs that are worth trying even once

>>713409838
I've lived in a city for a year, and tried to get into gaming related spaces for a while. I don't really jive with the people there, can't explain it honestly. maybe I'm just too much of a retard

My friend commited suicide after grinding like 10 billion certifications after graduating and he still couldn't find a job cuz AI is replacing everyone.

>>713409890
Nioh's DLC is good but unless they changed it later, you need to grind a bit from the main game to be appropriately leveled for it. They fixed that issue with Nioh 2's dlc.
>>713409923

you got lucky working some fake shit job, at least you presumably speak japanese, so you can find a teaching job to tide you over while you pick up other skills

Fuck does that even mean? What do you want to "do" with your life exactly? People keep saying this, and I can't for the life of me understand what the fuck they're babbling about.

>>713409923
I actually just upgraded my build with the same parts you got, just waiting for my gpu to arrive tomorrow. Sounds like you had a wild 5 years, sorry to hear about that shit you had to put up with. Cant remember anything eventful in my last 5 years which could be good or bad how you look at it.

They think life is like some 90s movie where you find the perfect job, the perfect wife and afford a Little Angel style house and have a huge family and die peacefully in your sleep at the tender age of 89 surrounded by your grandkids or some shit lol

Bought these to feminize myself mentally. Haven't played em lmao. Just playing Street Fighter all day like good ol. I think I'm just not as sexual anymore now I'm older, though forcing yourself to play complex games to coom to some idea of mental hypnosis probably isn't easy to do lol.

When Covid happened i moved back to Canada, and got a job with a weed company. I was writing SEO blog posts for weed seeds and strains and copy writing for a few major companies. I was pushing out a lot of words a day. It was tough but they pretty much paid you each article, or copywriter project that you did, so I would just work for like 12 hours a day and yes I can get a job as a Japanese teacher, i got a few offers the other day but i would have to move back to Japan.

it's really not that complicated. A lot of people struggle to become socially or financially succesful. Normies don't see this as the bar, because they don't even see the bar. They just waltz through life succeeding at everything and getting lucky and think it's normal that they own a house at 26. Something a former coworker I knew did because he was a succesful gambler.

take care of yourself first and foremost. i wish i did that 20 years ago. i started working out occasionally and i feel 500% better, mentally. it's not even about physique, but about you feeling much better with yourself
hobbies aren't meant to be a hustle, they're meant to be a timewaster/moneywaster. anyone that says otherwise is a grifter
remmber to do nothing ocasionally. just sit down and rest
don't rip your veins out because of a job. if there's a purpose go for it, but rmember nobody's gonna remember and appreciate all that overtime you did
there's more but let's not shit this thread up

40, has stopped playing new vidya because they're just rehash of old shit with new graphics and woke censorship.

Now I'm taking law exam after being NEET for twenty fucking years. Already got bar. It's my final stretch before I can leave this shithole for good. I didn't betray vidya, vidya betrayed me.

as a Japanese teacher, or as an English teacher in Japan? I would assume you've learned enough JP that you could teach it somewhere in Canada.

copy writing is legit, but understandably not as consistent work. If you have any kind of portfolio of your articles, you should be able to pick up freelance work for news publications and other blogs.

37 yo here. Early medical career, marriage and fatherhood barely leave me any time to play. I think I'm still good enough at fighters and still have good reflexes. Working on finishing Stellar Blade.

We can all make it, Anons.

well yeah, of course you found a girl and can afford a kid. unfortunately, not all of us are going to make it

>>713410330
Money is fake. Being financially successful is a meme. All that matters is having strong social bonds, impregnating a young fertile woman, and having access to high quality meat. Literally everything else vanity.

>>713409438
Find underaged pussies and lose your v card. Don't think about marriage. Seriously it's not worth it, just look for a chance to pump and dump, the longer you stay virgin the harder it's become to lose it with younger people.

You just went full retarded there. Have fun losing your fucking everything.

>>713410726
Lose what exactly? Imagine thinking anything is more important than having a kid.

I'm still in grad school. Still have to go to class, study, etc. My life is closer to the highschoolers I see in anime than it is to the typical 30 year old.

Sometimes it feels good other times it makes me feel weird being a grown ass man but still basically a kid

>>713410765
>wife divorces you in 5 years because you married a ho who stopped thinking you were fun and exciting

People should marry young but only if they're in a years long strong relationship. Anything else is russian roulette.

I only realized recently that I was probably on a low spectrum of being sociopath. It explains so much about me being uncomfortable with social outings, and having to wear this heavy mask around. I'm also only happy interacting with early teens. I can't forget the happy memories of my junior high. Everything after that was a disaster that turned into pit of despair. Before it all ended I just want to lose my 38 yo virginity with a cunny at least once, feel what it's like to love as a young teen.

You're not missing out much. 90% of vidya nowadays are overhyped garbage that don't respect your time or money. If you want to play, grab something made at least during ps3 or ps4 gen.

I finally turned 30 but got no wizard powers wtf

32 years old. My mental illnesses have just gotten worse as I age, feels real bad man. I stopped gaming in 2014 but last year I got a ps5 as a gift and started again to try and make the bad thoughts go away, it works, a little. However it's gotten to the point where I can't hold down a job or even get hired at a burger joint. I hate myself so much for this but I'm going to try to get on disability. I very well may an hero if I can't, I have been briefly homeless before and I'm not doing that shit again. Wish me luck.
>>713410137
Starship Troopers, The Moon is A Harsh Mistress, and Stranger in A Strange Land. Heinlein's other shit is all over the place in quality but those 3 are absolutely based and should be required reading for anyone getting into scifi.

How the fuck do these qualify as feminization? Lemme guess you're one of those xbawg turds who fell for journo gaslighting and think it's super macho to play fps games with big burly bald dudebros character all the time?

37 and I'm just playing Nightreign over and over. I've done everything but it's still fun to kill shit with randos or try (and usually fail) to carry my more casual friends through it

>>713410765
If you can pump and dump and leave your genes without ever paying for anything, sure. But that's not what's gonna happen.

back to back games I tried lately have sneakily shifted to a racism/lbgtq plot. Even when it makes no damn sense.
This generation of games are terrible. Is it millenials who are doing this? An entire generation lost.

I don't regret using vidya as escapism. The only thing I do regret is why I had to use it as escaping in the first place. Along with this shithole that keeps getting less funny by the day.

The original guy who posted, having done something with my life would mean having done something that I'm proud of, or things that I could look fondly back on and tell to people in a happy manner.

Did I get a good degree and find a job that is fulfilling and not a dead end soul crushing abyss
Did I do things that I can look back fondly at like traveling or learning new skills
Did I live a life where if I died tomorrow I can go without having too many regrets

I see these bait questions every thread, alongside one that goes "I'm a zoomie, what games are good/what to do in life?" and get dozens of replies.

I thought I was doing okay with my life but my long, only relationship ended, the one I hoped would be the only one I would ever have, and I've been essentially at a total loss for two years. I feel too tired and old to do this all over again at an age when I thought I would finally be allowed to be happy and safe and content for maybe the first time in my life. Oh, and of course it's impossible to have friends in your 30s because everyone you know is too tired to ever do anything other than hang out with their SO after work. I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I might just be completely alone, loveless, and friendless for the rest of my life. Like I was for the first half of my life, but being back here at square one, but now with the added debuffs of age, feels horrible. Right now my main thought every day is "I wish I killed myself years ago because every day I put it off is more sunk cost of a miserable life"

But, you know, it really could be so much worse, as you see from people in these threads all the time, which is a real insane testament to the human capacity for suffering!

>things that I could look fondly back on and tell to people in a happy manner
Only having children that you can love will give you this. Every "successful" person lies in their deathbed with horror, realizing that their every achievement was fake and vanity.

Why do women after 35 look so horrendous? Even the ones who took care of themselves look nothing like when they were 18. It's not like men didn't look worse too but for some reason it's like women become a different person even if they don't drink or sleep around or smoke.

Also why do women become uglier after having a kid? Everyone I knew fell into this category, unless they went to some surgery shit like those billionaires

>>713411629
You can make friends in your 30s but you probably want to be looking for weirdos who are into a specific hobby that you can also be into. Normalfags are indeed just held up with their SOs but there are singletons out there.
>"I wish I killed myself years ago because every day I put it off is more sunk cost of a miserable life"

>>713411549
>Regrets
My regret is impossible to fuckin fix. I should have realized my ASPD sooner so I didn't have to try so hard to fit in and still failed. Or that I had to use vidya to escape the loneliness of failure to interact with people.

>Cooking is nice, one of the things I've learned to appreciate recently. Cleaning however is a nightmare, especially when you're making something with more steps like soup
Understandable but as you do it and especially with recipes you've done a few times you'll figure out a good flow where you can clean as you go. Also if you don't have one, get a dish brush it makes it go 100x faster.

After 40 years I've learned there is no such thing. The sleeparound culture proved that. I've been perpetually lied to by hollywood movies and romance fictions. Marriage is nothing but a commitment enforced by law and social constructs thar force two people to live and tolerate each other's presence for the sake of social contribution.

Don't know what you call hard but I'm very glad I tried LSD, Shrooms, DMT, and Ketamine. I also think you're being kind of a pussy about a single serving of beer or wine, there's nothing important about limiting that to only once a week. Might as well sperg out over a couple slices of jam and toast for being nutritionally suboptimal

>>713411549
Humans in a natural state don't need this. Or rather you get it all for free. You have people in your life that you know and value and they value you just because you're the people in each other's lives.

Globalism, international trade, but even at a smaller level, corporatism, urbanism, cosmpolitanism, all of these things robbed you of your natural state, of the world where everyone got at least a little happiness of belonging to a real community. You have been made totally replaceable for every other person by a system made to extract profit for the sake of some human worm you'll never even meet, so you're denied even the pleasure of punching him in his nasty hooked nose. Anyway, in exchange for this terrible deal, you're promised that if you spend tens of thousands of dollars on "travel" to places that have been less ruined than your home, or if you get very lucky, you might someday find your own "meaning" again.

But hey, how about that Nightreign?

White women have thinner skin compared to other races. They age quickly because of it.
Asian women look great because of their thicker skin.

Also speaking of aging, I (male) use to get laughed at in my 20s when I went to clubs, bars, and adult events. I had a very young face and it didn't help being scrawny. Anyways I aged a lot recently in my 30s and started going to the gym hoping to look older. After seeing pictures of myself 6 years ago, man I look better than ever before. I've been getting hit on by teens and young 20 year olds when I head out. Feels great.

I've met people as part of my job which involved giving out counsels and what I saw irl was even fucking worse than internet ragebait. I feel sorry for the next generation of men. Watching the ongoing dynamics between men and women nowadays feel like perpetual trainwreck with no brakes. I wear my mask well but sometimes I just want to shake the moron guy for giving up so much just to get pussies in relationships.

It's hormones women literally become geriatric when they turn 35 since they were supposed to be close to being a grandmother at that age. A 35 year old man is just entering his prime.

Also I've seen black men in their mid 30s that still look like they're in their 20s, same with Asians

>>713412164

Asian women look great because of their thicker skin.
also, most asian women are taught to use sunscreen and use parasols to avoid as much sun as possible since the sun is one of the biggest contributor to wrinkles
white women are most likely to skip sunscreen and get tans which damage the skin, aging them faster visually

Cooking is possibly the most important skill you can learn. As everyone else has said look after your body. Never destroy it for work. If it takes 20 years to destroy your body then chances are you have another 30~40 years living in it. When you start lifting, don't ego lift. Plenty of people have caused permanent damage to themselves because of their lifting habits.

1CCfags have it good. I struggle to get joy from things like that even if I love old arcade-style games for the atmosphere. Mostly these days I just read a lot of books, or zone out and try to imagine a world where I'm playing my favorite Genesis games for the first time, forever.

>>713411549
I am 30 soon and have similar feelings, but I also realised that all the steps I took in my life have led to this situation and I took those steps by being myself. Even those little seemingly insignificant memories and things are part of what makes me even if they aren't to be proud of.
If you think about it's all relative. You could compare yourself to rich and "accomplished" people or you could compare to Yusuf who has been baking bricks in the dirt for the past 15 years.
Not saying I am happy with it all and couldn't have done things better, but I enjoyed a lot of it and there are still at least 30 more years to go.
Even if you sometimes feel down about it, just keep going forward and try to do what you enjoy, it's not too late.

When you are told certain habits can lead to serious problems later, do pay some attention to those warnings and at least research which you believe you do or do not need to be careful about. I developed a career disrupting foot condition that could have been prevented had I not spent 20 years wearing poorly fitting shoes because "who cares?" and "these are good enough". I understand the mixed feel of teenage immortality and 20s cynicism (eg, you think you'll probably be dead before any of this is an issue). Problem is these health problems sneak up on you and now you have to deal with them, they cannot be walked off or rehabbed in a week of taking it easy.

I enjoy the absolute daydreaming I constantly do in my mind to pass the time as I just simple rot away.
I think about situations where just talking to more popular people, directing a movie with cool action scenes, even just hanging out with my past irl friends.

Yeah no shit. When you're that young it's easy to think people as young as 25 are some totally separate race of people with different rules and shit, and you're gonna put zero effort into imagining yourself like that. You may get less emotionally retarded at some point in your twenties, but beyond that you're the same person who probably still enjoys the same shit from time to time.

>>713413771
>like learn how to write a script for podcasts, learn how to edit videos, set up audio, research nice stuff to talk about.
Thats not how that goes and you know it.
You don't actually learn anything by simply watching videos about it all day, you have to actually have your hands working it as you learn, or you don't do anything.
I don't have any money so I can't get the "Software" to start something in the first place, how do I get money? I don't ever want to work a job in my life since it is literal slave labor at the best.
And so what, I get the "software" and then what? slowly start at something when the constant reminder your a failure never goes away? My brain shuts down anytime it "tries" to learn anyway.
You can't break a block thats always been there and you get lost easily in anything. And not in a good way.

just cried for like 30 mins thinking about it. i dont have friends and dont go outside and i posted in that general for 6 years sometimes 24/7. its like some friends decided to torture me or some shit. quite brutal but also funny because of how weird it is that a videogame general became my community. but i need to process these feelings without belittling them, as it is quite a real thing that's happening to me.

i dont think i'll ever go back. the bridge is burned. but yeah makes me sad and makes me think i have to replace it with something else. be it this general, find a way to make online friends (never done it) or find something else like friends IRL. i feel very empty without going there. sorry just needed to vent.

Honestly go get a simple job where you do labor outside. I was emotionally where you are and I fixed a lot of it doing yard work in the sun. First of all, the fatigue you feel is basically an illusion caused by depression, and you can break it by willfully choosing to ignore it. Depression feeds on lack of inertia and the more you force yourself to do things, the better you'll feel. And when you actually finish a day truly physically exhausted, you will also truly sleep well, possibly for the first time in years.

Also, you're here forever.

Contrary to my expectations, the older I get the more I find myself appreciating certain cliches and "anime" tropes that I used to scoff at.

34 here. Each and every day is truly suffering. I don't have any friends. No girl friend. And soon no family. All I do is travel around the USA alone with my gaming laptop and wish I could re0live the days of being a NEET with lots of time and fun games to play.

Watching my favorite hobby, specifically my favorite genres be turned into casualslop is a life I don't want to live anymore. I hate the fact I can't do anything about it. I wish I would have become a game developer because I understand the depth in my games on another level. I look at others like myself and hate them for also not pursuing monkey code. I think about making a Youtube channel each day and about how niche I would be because I don't give a shit about slop. I watch other boomers like myself on Youtube who enjoy the games I enjoy and that gives me a little bit of life.

But honestly I don't know anymore. These days gaming is boring to me. It's not that I've grew up or something, it's just the fact that nothing catters to me specifically.

>>713413636
I'm not interested in fucking saggy flesh nor am I interested in STD-filled vag. I just want to find out what it means to date when you're in junior high or highschool. Sex is optional.

>>713415060
Yeah I've felt it, and got over it. Maybe not forever but life goes on. I just don't have the attitude of "Things didn't line up perfect so I'm gonna neck myself". And in my experience it's the opposite of
>Eventually it'll all get too much
I used to be more dramatic about things like that but stopped

>>713407858 (OP)
Weird artist. And what the hell is this OL doing?

>>713415268
I feel this anon, the quality of games has gone down the shitter. There are maybe like 1-2 games a year that look good to me and I am able to finish.

>>713415292
>to date when you're in junior high or highschool
you ought to know this by now in your 30's but dating at that age is extra superficial. teenage hormones can flare up for any reason and the dating part itself is mired by things that are not even related to dating (dating for clout, for boredom, for literally anything but actually liking the person)

only about 1% of romantic relationships at that age end up into a textbook ending (marriage, happily ever after)

I love office ladies stuck in their shit job

mid 30s virgin incel. i have literally nothing. even if i had tons of cash i wouldn't remotely have a clue on how to get a gf. dating apps can burn in hell. i often think about the possibility that i'll just die alone this life.

>>713414039
Cath believers in third world seem to be one of the most insecure people I swear. I know a criminal case in which a Cath guy killed another Cath girl and they've been fucking nonstop in college. The guy discovered she's cheating so he killed and dissected her body and dumped them everywhere in vicinity.

>>713407858 (OP)
35, part time job, live with my Mom, play between three and four hours of games a day.
Not a lot of current games interest me, I mostly play older games I missed playing when they were new, or games that were before my time.

Not that guy but maybe it's because I have a younger sister but I can't imagine dating anyone who looks as young as her.

I'm not saying I wouldn't date a 24 year old, I'm just saying she better look a hell of a lot more mature than my sister and her friends do.

Gaming is superficial entertainment yet none of you bitched about it. Superficiality has nothing to do with our inherent need for intimacy. I fucked it up because of what I now come to realize as my sociopathy but even if I have been antisocial asshole it doesn't mean I don't crave that feeling of being vulnerable yet also safe at the same time.

>>713409438
The one and only single solitary advice that I can honestly give you that isn't the generic "get a life" is to work on your self esteem. It's the difference between working a shit job and a good job. Between a bitch wife and a good wife. Between a happy life and a sad life. And no - you're not going to just get a diploma and find it, or lift heavy weights and find it, or get a promotion and find it. Believe me I'm surrounded by people who are constantly chasing this need to be accepted by people and they are doing everything short of killing themselves for other people to validate them. Absolutely do not do this under any circumstances. You don't need to be liked by everyone - you need to do whatever you want and accept the fact that some people will love you and some people will hate you and that's for the best.

And I'm saying your superficiality is just pure copium.
To anyone under 20 who might or might not be reading this, don't listen to faggots and soccermoms on social media who say love or romance at young age would negatively impact your lives. Trust me, if you spend your youth burying your face in study books and video games you're so going to regret it when you get older and realize what those horny couples have been doing outside of classrooms. Even if some of them turned out bad it's better to have experienced it even once, than regreting spending your youth in a safespace shell of societal nannying.

You'll talk to your friends less and less. You'll come to find a point in time where your physical limitations come to the surface. You'll discover cognitive and emotional limitations that you never knew you had. New stresses that you never imagined will begin to reveal them selves to you. The world you live in and thought you knew will look more and more foreign. And it will happen at a faster pace than any of your ancestors had experienced.

I've already experienced what it felt like to be living an empty, safe teenager life. Being traumatized by something like break-up sounds good to me. Stoicism is appealing until you realize you haven't really been living your life compared to other drama happening around you, it's like you're just an audience in a movie theatre.

I happen to have had some drama during highschool and while it's not really as drastic as you'd expect, I feel like it still messed me up a bit and it took me a while to recover. I guess for different people they may have not been too affected negatively or would have bounced back up quickly. it does build some resilience, but it can take years off of your life.

29 here.
I've been playing Stellar Blade ever since it came out. I legitimately haven't had this much fun with a game in years. It's a shame I can't play it more due to work and getting ready to visit my sister, but I dumped 42 hours into it ever since it launched and I'm still having a blast doing pretty much all the sidequests and side content (along with the DLC content) and I'm only about halfway through the game (I'm still in the Great Desert atm).


That being said, this is the type of game I would gush about to people I would've been friends with in the past, but ever since college ended, friends have been few and far between. My love life doesn't even exist because I'm not interested in the women in this small college city, which ranges from boring fake church girls that have no hobbies or interests to real whores that have no hobbies or interests. I need to get married soon to a 18-20 Catholic Flip hapa who is nice, intelligent, virgin nerdy chick that I can actually relate to. It's a pipedream but that hope is keeping me alive atm.

That being said, life is good. I plan on relearning all the math and programming shit I got a degree in over the rest of the year and also look forward to progress in my EE graduate degree. I'm a bit jaded but hopeful in the future.


>>713413984
Maybe 10 years ago, but it's an objective fact that 4chan is basically anonymous reddit where /pol/ types of all stripes can spam nonsense 24/7.

They don't. Your brain is just more attuned to detecting age in women then in men since you need to avoid them for reproduction.

Almost 40, wish I had better pay but I still enjoy vidya and never had much interest in relationships, happy with where I am now overall. And yet the game that currently interests me the most is one where I am just taking care of and feeding a dragon girl and her calling me dad.

I drink lots of water and fiber but yeah, long sitting stretches.

I turn 34 in September, and things are going pretty well. I got a new job I'm actually good at, the Switch 2 announcement got me back playing games regularly again, and I just got the number of a girl I've known for awhile now. I embraced the fact that I'm a fucking dork who isn't slick enough to hide it and the world has opened itself to me.

Your balls are still valuable for you, so definitely go see a doctor.
I don't understand how wiping your ass could make testicles sore, please go get help. Precisely because you're a NEET, you need to look out for yourself, since nobody else will.

Serious question: do any of you feel like you can't find the perfect girlfriend? What I mean is... you could be dating a girl but that girl has nothing in common with you and so in order to date that girl you have to throw away all of your hobbies and just.... become a fucking normie male. You dream of getting an asian wife that'll let you play video games and stuff but you'll be into her hobbies too and spend a lot of time with her. American woman actual hate gamers and still live like its the 1800s

Finished tomb raider: the lost artifact.
had a solid time with it overall, won't lie, the controls can be annoying and a lot of the traps are straight up unfair.
But I've realised I get way more engaged with games that don't hold you hand all the time, nor feels like you are just going through a long checklist.
Modern games that lack any challenge bores me

>>713417501
That we are posting on 4chan is a huge sign of what goes wrong for people like that. The debilitating, cloying, anesthetizing influence of modern media keeps people trapped and distracted. Imagine being a neet before the modern computer or the Internet. You'd be bored out of your mind and go do SOMETHING.

>>713417272
I had peace of mind as a result of my sociopathy necessitating the needs to build emotional wall around me to protect myself and feel comfortable. I shut myself out from what others have been interacting and mistook it as a sign of strength. It's not until I've had the recent job that requires interacting with people and giving them advices that I started to notice my lack of empathy, and started to realize everything that had been going on around me when I tried to trace back to its origin. Now I'm starting to regret a lot of shit I used to ignore fine. My peace of mind had been a result of ignorance and fear, and I would rather have stepped out to reach others if even once when I was still able to be vulnerable.

>>713412987

Roadcraft is okay but tracked vehicles are underwhelming, rather than both tracks being powered by the same engine and the transmission routing power in order to steer like in real life. Instead the game treats both tracks as powered independently, so whenever you turn your vehicle loses half of it's power.

Doesn't matter if you have "nothing in common" as long as your goals and values align. You're building a life together. She can like whatever gay reality shows, I'll endlessly rewatch scifi shows from the 80's and 90's. What matters is the value that is added to your life, and if your effort is reciprocated. If I wanted a significant other that drank beer, listened to heavy metal and liked cars, I'd date a fucking dude, dude.

Im considering trying therapy (male therapist). I think I'm just too fucked uo mentally to be able to function properly and need to figure out what's wrong with me.

i married a complete jimiko pettanko neet, she's very plain and not someone people will holla at on the street. but we've been at it for 20 years now and i love her more than ever. "perfect girlfriend" is a meme anon and i realized it way too late. you get "perfect" life if you're a milionaire chad, don't sweat about it too much.
>that girl has nothing in common with you and so in order to date that girl you have to throw away all of your hobbies and just.
that's not how relationships work anon. if your other half makes you do shit like this it's not a relationship, it goes both ways. luckily we have both similar hobbies, but we also differ in some things and that's fine - she likes to do some sewing or whatever, or wants to take pics of a night sky and so i drive her to some fuck off nowhere and waste my time, but then when i wanna do my shit or just lay down and watch anime for 3 hours she understands it and doesn't nag because we both have our spaces and both understand it.
this is what i think relationships are about, doing things together but also having your own thing and compromising, doing things for your other half even if it's not what you want to do at the time, and it has to go both ways.

i could go on but does it really matter

this >>713409603 is the absolute truth
ill add working out as well as that helped me a fuckton in general
makes you feel better about yourself, gives you mental clarity and just your brain working better, you'll sleep better and will have more confidence which will make getting a girl a lot easier
the thing is life wont always go smoothly, i was kinda "edging" being a lazy bumfuck and a productive human (productive in terms of working on myself and improving)
most important thing is getting back on track because you will fall eventually fall off or slack

let's be honest I'm sure she is.

>>713414971
Most men have 1 singular problem which is just that they don't meet enough women. When you go outside talk to every woman and see where it goes. You don't even have to date them just meet their friends.

the problem is she may find you boring or lame and seek out a male who will give her the ultimate foot kissing attention. woman I just wired like that. that's why your gaming bros who get a gf then get a kid simply stop showing up and disappear.

There is no right recipe for a good life or a happy life. People who say "do that" or "that" more than anything reflect what they would like to do. If you are young and visit these threads, take advice with a bag of salt.

But still some general meme advices: If you find something that you really enjoy and lets you be happy, then hold on to it even if society looks down on it. If you plan to be a NEET atleast learn to make money on the internet. It is not shameful to be frugal and prefer to have as much free time as possible instead of working but always make sure you are able to take care of yourself and are not a burden not only it will also make your relationship healthy with people around you. It will also make you stress-free knowing that you are able to take care of yourself. That way your life will be leisurely. WIth both the pros and cons.

I just replayed Mass Effect trilogy, and I don't know what to play next, so I've just been playing minesweeper.
Any vidya recommendations? My preferred genre is RPG (generally not JRPG and post infinity engine), but I feel like I've played, or at least tried, every big name title I could think of.

>>713417693
Their is no perfect girlfriend, stop trying to so hard and just focus on yourself. Vaginas are temporary.

>>713417693
I realized that any woman I'd want to be with shouldn't be like me 100%... but she should have some sort of common ground with me in terms of some hobbies and interests. I like more actiony type games, but I think it's reasonable for a woman I'm with to like more slower paced, more casual games so long as we share the interest in gaming. That applies to basically any of my hobbies that are social and can be used as a basis for communication.

Certain ones like my musical taste for alternative rock/metal, prog rock/metal, etc. or my penchant for math and science I can live without her having it as long as she respects it. I can do the same for her own personal hobbies and interests. But I do think a couple should have at least one hobby they both enjoy so they can come up with more creative ideas for date nights and just to make it easier to touch base and interact.


You really shouldn't have to settle for someone that doesn't like you for you. If she wants you to be a different person to appease her, forget her. She just likes the image of you, not you. Honestly, you're better off with a homely chick that respects you and your space and to whom you do likewise all the while building a life together.


>>713418104

At least shinji gets to pilot cool robots and live with three chicks. All I've been doing my whole life is studying, playing vidya, and then slaving away at work. At least my job of watching other people's lives falling apart and then having to ask me how to mend their lives was entertaining, I guess. Still I'd pick robots and chicks over this any day.

this boomer got one of the models that was retired 20 years ago
women that like to sew and dont nag and dont have 15 dogs dont get made anymore, you will not find a woman with this disposition in her 20s

Im really good at making chicks laugh and have a good looking face but Im short and fat and fucking hate myself. they will start to like me and everytime I get immediately way too attached and they get the mega ick and throw me into perma friend zone or ghost me. its been like this for at least the past ten years and I could name at least dozen chicks I couldve at least fucked if I didnt sperg out. I have no idea how I ever actually got a gf back in high school/college but Im definitely ready for the bullet now.

>>713418194
to be honest my brain has been so fried by cartoon pornography and the effects of aging on my libido in combination with a relative lack of need for human company that i'd only really be with a girl if she was extremely fucking hot. it is what it is. i have a on-off thing with this totally fucked up freak borderline femcel type with bpd who just never goes outside and randomly has fits of just being the most insulting bitch in the world and disappearing for weeks at a time plus she's addicted to fucking fall guys of all things, but also she has a perfect body & tits and makes me cum quite hard... and it's kind of fucked up that i prefer that to a less attractive but nicer girl but well, it is what it is

>>713418173
yeah therapy didnt do shit for me except give me a codependant relationship with my therapist that didnt end well. I know everything a therapist can tell me at this point, it wont change the fact I utterly and completely fucking hate everything about myself. I have told my dad a few times how badly I want to end it and he just gets heartbroken and tells me how worth it life is etc etc and I just feel guilty for even bringing it up. at the end of the day none of it helps, Ive already ruined my life and Ive proven time and time again I dont have what it takes to ever be happy regardless.

Yes and no. Your priorities change as you have more responsibilities. I still have time to shitpost and play games from time to time, but I maybe beat 10 games in a year. Most of the games I play are with my kids.

Like >>713418104 said, you make some compromises, have some shared interests (that grow with time) but you and your girl have your own spaces.

>>713418574
the ready availabilty of porn really fucks with many dudes' mind. the basic idea is that the strong male libido makes the man pursue whatever female is available to him, almost no matter how mid she is, but porn and social media zaps this energy.

Well, not exactly twenty but in that time span I got into med school, dropped out, got into an even more prestigious med school, then fucking dropped out again. I was a sorry sack of despaired pos who just leeched on parents and pretended to study as a cope while wasting away my thirty yo life on here and video games. At least hopefully this time I can get it together with law job.

Office women IRL are attention whores and never like the ones in anime. In fact, in the small chance you do find one like the ones in anime every single guy at her job will be all over her making it literally impossible for you to have a chance unless you were literally the first person she spoke to and work with on the job because once a new hottie gets in word spreads around the job like a wild fire spreads.

don't immediately go for hobby matches. if 1 or 2 boxes check for hobbies, great, but personality above all else (including looks)
and by personality, i mean:
>how does she resolve conflict?
>how well does she communicate her wants, needs, desires, and grievances?
>how does she advocate for herself in groups?
>how does she describe herself?
>how loud or quiet is she?
"good in bed" isn't a personality trait, it's a distillation of the above points

Yeah, noticed this the first time I was like 9 and met my aunt who I felt at the time was so beautiful I had to hide due to being shy. When I was 15 I met her again after she had given birth and she looked almost unrecognizable. There's nothing like that giddy feeling I used to have anymore. Oh, and she was using a portable sauna machine when we met so apparently she knew she's out of shape.

This is extremely difficult. I worked in London for 7 years, two of those were covid but I've just been laid off a job that lasted almost 5 years but there were never any young women around any of the offices I worked at, and when they were they came and went. Didn't stick around long enough for me to build rapport with them. I had no other way of meeting people other than a few shitty socials via Meetup and those were mostly just foreigners. Eventually found Thursday (singles events) but those are just Tinder offline. I also live outside London (so I can live on my own) and constantly have to explain to people that I don't live in London but work there. How am I supposed to get a girl while I have my shit together? I'm 26 and it's freaking me the fuck out.

A lot of zoomer chicks actually don't play video games I've found. I remember a lot more chicks (nerd chicks but still) playing games like the Sims, DoA, Soulcalibur 3 and shit where there's a lot of dressing up or customization aspects to it. Most zoomer chicks just aren't into that nowadays, probably because most of that is in games like Fortnite which I've found to be more of a social media platform than a game.

take care of your teeth and get proper dental, brush before and after bed, while brushing try to balance yourself with one leg as an exercise, start learning how to take care of your skin, start with using a lotion or moisturizer, get proper sleep when you can, 8 hours minimum, there's more but my best advice is try not to become a bitter old person, continue to learn new things, understand what kids are into these days, once you start thinking "i'm too old for this" its gonna be downhill from there.

good morning saar

I keep coming back to World of Warcraft and I can't stop myself. I'll quit and unsubscribe for months, but then suddenly I'll find myself with the urges to play again a while later. I don't even think I really have fun with it for 90% of the play time, but I do enjoy the other 10%. I feel like an actual drug addict, just because it filled the void of my life when I was a teenager into early adulthood.

>>713409542
I'm kinda worrying about this. So far, I've only had some back problems and sometimes a tingly sensation when I breath. But I'm 31 so it might be slightly alarming.

I'm just waiting for the lack of options to finally pressure me over the self-preservation hump and actually kill myself. Don't play games anymore, numb to it, don't do anything but over eat and sleep. Family is only in the biological sense, no acquaintance in range, did the whole shebang with meds and therapy for half a decade without effect, unyielding to doing anything that requires effort.

Don't know how people find it in them to work at this point, once I lost sight of the appeal of cool technology/enjoying learning or performing, I just completely fell off the wagon on that daily cycle. >>713419238 is right, you gotta cultivate not being a jaded dead end.

I met a nerd girl once who went on and on about her computer and shit. It was at that moment that I realized I did not want a nerd girlfriend.

I would prefer a girl that is open to my hobbies and slowly get them into gaming through stuff like JRPGs or even Cinematic Sony slop because then you get to watch them re-live the moment you found gaming to be something so exciting.

I think the equivalent to this is reaction channels and how they almost ALWAYS go from reacting to movie to transitioning into full on gaming channels through shit like WoW, Starcraft, etc cinematics. Basically a lot of reaction channels get groomed by their own audience

i would, but i don't see the point at all. i give feedback that's objectively right, i get acknowledged it's right, and it's never acted upon. i complain about something not working, it takes months to fix. i have maintenance things to do that never get done because "we have more important things to take care of". always too little staff. alwasy on the backlog.

yeah money is great in the beginning, but i think you either have to be braindead or legit an evil person to continue with that shit, i used to think people that fully went into that shit were trying to secure their families but no, the people who do wanna secure their families realize that if they continue working that shit they will just go batshit, so they switch to a more "normal" job for less pay and are happier
>>713419498
ill never understand shit like this, if you are already at that point and "just waiting for an out" the world is your fucking oyster, you can literally move to any country, explore, live a wild life since you already dont care, but you'd rather be a pussy

well you first apply for jobs you think you can do
that gives you money so that you can HOPEFULLY rent a place of your own
getting friends is a complex thing because there are so many fucking factors, but best thing is to just join different things like a book club, start doing some sport, i met a ton of great people while doing kickboxing, theres a lot of areas where you can meet people with similar interests just dont do online meet/dating shit cause its all a scam
once you are in with a group of people thats your in to meet potential partner, either a part of that group or a friend of a friend in that group

You know what soulfags have the right idea gitgud with life, actual skill issue in this thread. Especially if you live in a first world country.

I tried that one and hated it. Every character was annoying as fuck.
>spec ops the line for
I've played that one.

>>713420103
damn anon i really want to fucking try it now. feel like id be pissed if I just pay money to get blue balled but honestly my back could probably use the work either way. wish me luck

>>713419956
Immigrant, so she didn't live with parents but had older siblings that were ok with it
All of them abandoned school at a young age and went to work as soon as possible when they came to the US
She was very grown up at 16 unlike burger teens

>>713418460
>Make women laugh
Why is this even a requirement? Do friends need to make others laugh in order to befriend?

>>713420198
>my back could probably use the work either way.
pool swimming anon. thank me later

>>713420116
Im absolutely amazing at making them laugh but still never get laid because I have 0 confidence, balls or money. being funny isnt enough. the only thing thats fool proof is money or being tall and hot.

>>713420114
I want to grow my own herbs too for cooking. Just haven't found the time or the know-how. I'm always envious of those youtube chefs with like chives or parsley or whatever in their food.

>>713419176
Her dad was ok you used the familiarity to date his daughter?

>>713420126
thats why i put bug nets on all my windows
>>713420114
oh yeah absolutely, love having plants, only ones im having a hard time with are succulents, they are difficult to keep alive
this setup from /g/ was a huge inspo for me
also yeah ginger lemon tea is the shit

>>713420260
i have no idea, shit has never worked for me but ive heard my whole life from both men and women "just make her laugh bro" its a fucking lie.

>>713420039
I said it isn't the same thing, I didn't say it didn't exist.

>>713420351
>that picture
I don't understand a lot of what's going on here other than wow that looks really fucking cool, but maybe it would smell kinda musty or soily?

>>713420198
as i said its a win win since you are gonna get a great massage either way
but another thing to know is she asked for extra cash when offering the handjob, asked for $30 more, had only like 22-23 but she still accepted

>>713419892
Maybe they'll have pity on a lowly mischling. Or am I still an animal to them?

>>713420423
>soily
doubt it, but even if it did i love that smell
depends on the plants and the ventilation/humidity situation

>>713419257
i guarantee you that the bartender would have a more honest, appropriate and encouraging response than ANY fucking therapist in the world
those cocksuckers are paid to do it, meaning its their job so they hate it and also they are so desensitized to it since they keep hearing that shit every day

>>713419715
>start showing some sexual interest

You know, it's weird. I was always under the impression that showing sexual interest early on was generally bad because women don't really like it, and it's funny how that comes from both bluepill and redpill circles. Then again, you could argue the fact you're even talking to or going on a date with her means you have sexual interest thus you don't need to spell it out.

There is nothing I love more than telling a woman what I like about her so I'm just going to go full on with that and see how it goes.

>>713420325
you can easily grow onion greens, get a few onions from a shop and just plop them ass down into shallow water. the ass is that hard part that has small hair sticking out of it, the yellowish part when you cut it. it'll just stat growing greens all by itself. might not get it right first time but it's piss easy, trust me.
nd don't get envious of grifters or people with 20yo experience. you do you.

>>713420351
Please kidnap me so I can stay at your place. Holyshit that looks comfy beyond my imagination.

35 here, having comfy fun with Planet Crafter
>nooo why are you talking about games you must be crying about missed opportunities
The reason why you're sad is that you still have desires, ambitions, expectations and, most importantly, hopes. Embrace nihilism bros and enjoy life by itself.

Did she really love him or did she marry him out of desperation for supports and local connections? This story prob doesn't apply to relationship nowadays anymore thanks to feminist crusade and pedo histrionics.

>>713420624
Would you consider yourself a beast or a god?

>>713420612
wish mine looked like that but as i said its a setup from /g/'s battlestation thread that inspired me to get more greenery in my place

>>713420351
glad to hear it anon, sounds great

To anons who doesn't have gf or never get laid even once, do you ever look back to your parents, compare yourselves to them and feel like you're a total failure for not being able to find mates or pass down your genetics?

>>713420768
no

>>713420768
No, why should I care? There's plenty of men who never reproduced in human history.

>>713420768
My parents are a deadbeat who lived in the basement since my middle school and a neurotic anxious with whom I've never had common ground, so no.

>>713420681
>>713420681
idk not like he was rich
She had me when she was 18
So I guess she was just settled for the first man she found or I was an accident
She had my sister 5 years later

>>713420768
my advice just pay for it at that point, break that barrier

>>713420768
my dad is a failed normie, who - as far as I know - was only ever with my mom before she left him. now he's been alone the last 25 years. he is starting to get really strange now as he is aging.

going to replay RE2 tonight

>>713420768
1. You're a God 2. My parents reproducing was irresponsible and dysgenic

>>713420882
lmfao real shit

>>713420437
well yeah no shit its gonna cost extra. 30 bucks is fucking cheap as shit so Im totally fine with that. also I looked up the massage places number and its listed on a bunch of escort sites so Im pretty damn sure this is gonna work out exactly as I hope.

>>713420910
>30 bucks is fucking cheap as shit
eh not really, you can fuck some solid escorts for around $50 here
but the massage + handjob experience is worth it, you get double relaxed
godspeed anon

Huh. Zero regrets? Ok, maybe when you get older or when you're on your death bed you might change your mind.

Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

>>713418874
Zoomer girls only put out for millennial men. Just get remarried its not "cheating"

>>713421019
what are you looking for us to say?

>>713409890

>>713421007
>$50 escorts

man I fucking wish, where do you live mexico?

>>713421019
When did I ever say I didn't have regrets, you brainlet? I just don't compare myself to my parents.

>>713421019
I don't think so tim

>>713419132
Presumably at a job where she was 16 and he was 27

>>713421076
smaller towns, cheaper prices
there are of course $200-300 ones but that shit is not worth it even if you have tons of money

>>713420849
Well in any case it doesn't seem like there was any unhappiness in your family right? How I long for those simpler days when people can get together with less judgemental sentiment from society.

>>713421069
Wahhhh I'm such a failure I couldn't even accomplish what my prior incarnation accomplish despite the fact they lived through the easiest Era of all time. Eliot Rodger would have had a harem back then.

>>713419332
nah

I have more fun jerking off to the thoughts of me talking and laughing with my 16-20 year old coworkers then I do actually fucking millenial chicks my age. if I cant somehow land a young cunny at some point Ill just die alone.

>>713421069
they're fishing for misery companions

>>713419864
>well you first apply for jobs you think you can do
if only that made them willing to hire you

>>713421019
Why would they? If they really desired it that much they could hire a prostitute. I did lost it later than most normies and while i did enjoy it. I was also not blown away. It did not changed me. Maybe for a week i was more confident but i was sort of social even before it. Virginity is big deal when you are young as you get older it matter less and less. I did get into my first real relationship at 32 we still together three years later. I never told her about the fact i had sex only twice before and she never complained. That is to say it is ridiculous to be worried about it unless you have the urge or it affect your in way that you stress about it.

>>713421069
Just something that has been on my mind a lot recently. My parents are successful and have been living together for almost 50 years now ever since they were in college. And then here's me living a lonely life failing at everything alternating between vidya and talking to strangers on 4chinchin. If I had kid at the same age as my dad my kid would probably be 10 now, but I didn't and it feels like a hollowed realization.
>>713421081
>>713421084
Good for you anon but I can't help thinking this especially when I go outside and see people around me marrying and having kids already.

FUCKING NEXUSMODS

>>713421358
you're not your parents. their lives are different.

>>713421358
I get the complex about it, but you shouldn't let that feeling consume your life. Most people with a kid don't have one because they wanted a kid, they either made one on accident or were weirdly psy-opped into thinking that you're just supposed to make one. It doesn't make you some anomaly for not nutting in someone and making progeny. I don't want to say a bunch of bullshit life advice but just don't let yourself spiral over something trivial.

>>713421081
Prolly cuz you look, sound, and act like ozen irl.

>>713421358
really ask yourself would you actually WANT a child or is just something you think you're "supposed" to be doing?

>>713420706
human, all too human

>>713421415
>>713421441
Thanks anon. Sometimes it just gets tiring when even coppers ask you why you're still single. Also I get a bit panicky when I think that one's life purpose was to pass down genes and I will most certainly fail.

>>713421717
this idea without a religious reason is midwit shit imo

>>713421717
>one's life purpose was to pass down genes
Again, most all life fails at this task. It isn't even that unusual if you fail at breeding, so you shouldn't really let it consume your life.

>>713407858 (OP)
I'm playing katana zero

The plot seems to insist upon itself

>>713421223
well most of them arent but you keep applying till you land something
it sucks but it is what it is

>>713421717
thats silly. my purpose in life isnt just to have children. if it were that simple then why do people who actually do have children still feel unfulfilled? you forge your own path in life.

i think id like to be remembered as having fulfilled a purpose thats higher than fucking a woman and being a father. thats not nothing, but thats not everything
