getting a job you bum

I played no video games when I was a NEET, would get bored of them instantly. For me, games are only fun when I have responsibilities to recover from

>>713961147
but I don't wanna

monster hunter and a ton of emulation

>>713961121
cute rich girls

None because how can I enjoy myself if I feel directionless and lost in my life with no purpose?
It's like when people mock that MitM pic "If you're too sick for school then you're too sick for video games!". It's 100% true. If I feel like shit, if I'm puking my guts out and feverish, I don't want to watch daytime TV, I don't want to go outside and play, I don't want to play video games, I don't want to talk to anybody, I just want to huddle in a ball in the shower or sleep, something to stop thinking and feeling for a few hours.

At the moment, I am playing Hades 2, ZZZ and Hitman WoA.

I went through two phases of NEETdom and they were
>2017, hundreds of hours of PUBG
>2020, hundreds of hours of WoW Classic
I seriously regret the WoW Classic, total waste of time for a shit game and shit community. was told by friends it would pay off with raids. game got even worse when having to deal with 25+ fellow losers. PUBG in it's first year was one of the greatest multiplayer experiences ever and I wish I could go back. it was on par with halo 2/3 xbl and cs:s days for hype and laughs.

You will have to do low wage stuff like working in factories or carrying stuff, everyone gotta start somewhere.

Working in a factort wasn't easy for me, but it got me to live better overall because of all the physical effort I need to do, the more your end up exercising the more it feels like the mind clears up

>Let's just lose most of our young workforce since we don't have a shortage of it at all.

>>713965031
It doesn't fucking matter. Stop obsessing over the age of a fictional character.

I was a neet for like 6 months in between college and high school, and moved across the country with my family. I downloaded a psp emulator and Persona 3 Portable and played it on my shitty laptop. I couldn't afford a new tv or anything.

I played that game all day every day for a while. The story really affected me in a way that a game hasn't been able to in a while. I enrolled in classes at a local community college a little later and got a job, too.

I am not going to say that P3P is why i got my shit together, but it definitely helped me figure out that moving was better than staying still.

Memento Mori, anon.

>>713961045 (OP)
Get a job, lazy fucks.

>>713964598
Sort of. She's a project manager at a tech company now. When we met she was a NEET too. We got a flat together and basically lived on welfare which was below the poverty line but we really didn't need much to be happy. We had a 1 bedroom apartment, a collection of vidya and a motorbike. She has a degree, I never finished highschool.

So in what felt like no time flat I knocked her up. It wasn't even an accident. She just hated condoms and sometimes the horny little shit wouldn't let me pull out because she got off on the danger. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. When our son came along she went ahead and got a junior PM job and left me to take care of the kid all day, but we both felt bad that we were a single income household and couldn't afford the stuff the kid needs to thrive. I don't want to raise a kid on slop. I don't want to shop for his clothes at goodwill. I don't want him going to a terrible basketball-american riddled school etc etc.

So I did what any retard without a highschool diploma would do. I lied on my resumes and got a basic tech support job and then worked my tits off over 5 years to get into a management role. We both work from home so it's no big deal. We saved like hell and put a downpayment on a house, leased a car, and from the outside looking in you'd think we definitely have our shit together and always have, but my god I miss that 4 year window at the start where all we did was screw, drink, smoke and play video games. Now I'm pulling overtime left and right so the kid can keep attending a private school, we make sure he has everything he needs, take him out to cool places and whatevers left we're throwing at the mortgage every year.

I had the same idea then learned blender at 32 and figured out trading by 34. I just had the only mature decision in my life that I should capitalize on the fact that I have TWENTY FOUR (24) hours per day to do ANYTHING. So I just forced myself to do at least 10 minutes of whatever the fuck I decided to do that day besides jerking off and browsing shit.
It was never just 10 minutes, once you trick yourself you find yourself doing stuff for hours. Works even if you're adhd.

If you jump from a precipice like they did in the anime, you will be less depressed.

I had over 500 days played in WoW from 2004-2008. Then I played whatever Battlefield game was popular after that for hundreds of hours. I played Civ 5 for a thousand hours. I played MAG for hundreds of hours. I played Madden Ultimate Team for 3000+ hours a year for several years. Thousands of hours in DOTA 2 before I got bored. A few hundred of hours in Overwatch. Another thousand hours in Civ 6. Earlier this year I played Delta Force for 400 hours before I got bored and now I am playing Mario Kart World.

The author's take on depression. If you watch it while you're depressed it'll resonate with you but if you're not depressed it falls flat. I've rewatched it over the years and it's gotten worse each time to the point where I dropped it half way in.

Victoria 2, and Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron Game probably took up way more time than a lot of the games I was playing then. I remember running through the Ace Combat trilogy, too. god, what a time. i hope i can eventually make enough money out of my own ventures to be able to comfortably relax like that more often again

Reminder that welcome to the nhk, lain, watamote, punpun, etc are normalfag garbage

Can zoomers even understand the narrative of the medium or relate with the characters?

It was based on the Gen-X (born in 1978) author's own experience over 20 years ago and targeted for teenagers and young adults of the time, millennials basically.

When I used to play WotLK, there was a day I got completely fed up with the game, but I still had one month left on my subscription. Not wanting it to go to waste, I made an orc twink, bought him a Tuxedo Jacket, ran all the way to Orgrimmar, and proceeded to completely obliterate the Auction House.
Turns out, it’s the same exact principle in real life: buy low, sell high. Some people are really in a rush to sell. But me? I’ve got all the time in the world.

>>713968030
okay, but the topic was managing to live on your own as a neet

>>713968101
if you are healty just go part time

>>713968091
but how are you supposed to know when it will go lower or higher?

>>713968101
It's obvious. You need a source of income that will sustain your housing, food, and hobbies. If your parents can't afford it then you will either have to get a good disability pension/government housing or go to prison (only applies if you're in a first world country).

>>713967923

>>713968410
>I live somewhere with services like that but i don't understand how to get them
Usually you just need a doctor to agree that you're too disabled to hold a real job. Once you get that they can't deny you.

>>713966941
Lain is not normalfag, zoomer.

Do girls like Misaki really exist?

>>713968410
maybe you are doing it wrong
how about getting a job by asking family, heck your parents can know more people than you, just putting a word their son is looking for a part time job will make shit easier for you

just dont be too picky with jobs, if its just hauling boxes, or delivery for example, seem simple, easy, boring, but its less stress

>>713968623
yes, but with the advent of egirl culture and onlyfans she now markets herself after turning 18 and makes lots of money and friends, and gets a network that will last her for life

I work in the shittiest part of California where it’s impossible to get an entry level job and all the job that requires an education of any kind is desperately hiring. I really wish I had taken school more seriously or had someone to guide me in my youth to not quit. I know I can do it know still in my 30s but I’m in an endless cycle of destroying my life and restarting almost endlessly. I get a job, eventually fallout with someone and over quit due to the injustice of something or get pushed out and eventually fired. I literally can’t stop myself from calling out shit that’s not fair. Same with all my gfs, the moment they do something that I deem as a betrayal or some dishonesty I punish them until I destroy the relationship. It’s a shitty cycle I can’t seem to stop. I’m pretty close to giving up. Some days I’m insanely motivated to better myself then other days I just pick apart all of my failures and don’t want to get out of bed or brush my teeth or do anything.

yeah gaming use to be the premium cheap fag way to live as a hikineet. freeware, isos, one buy and long term investment games, but now things are designed to milk money out of you long term and playing those games without ever touching the shop is insane.
that's why I dropped more games for full imagination through reading. The thing is I wonder what being a neet is like in other countries if they ever go outside.

I was NEET for like 18 months in 2013/14 after university and again for maybe 6 months in 2019 after being made redundant. First time I barely played games because my local indie cinema did £1 tickets for anyone claiming unemployment benefits so I basically just lived in it and the second time was all CRPGs.

I still can't get over Sato 1. being a sex haver in high school 2. getting beat up by middle schoolers. That is so oddly specific that you know it was some weird self-insert shit from the writer. He should have just fucked off and kept that shit to himself.

being a successful riajuu in high school and then failing at real life is a standard Japanese plotline

you just need to accept nothing is free. gains are made by suffering. money is made by sacrificing literally your time since the majority of people don't have jobs that make them happy. Just pursue anything that keeps you smiling instead of wanting to slit your throat and life will improve, just not quickly unless you really start taking care of yourself. body for energy and mental for completing daily actions. The daily thing is important since all long term progression is just that one daily action on repeat. It's so bad just having an accomplishment like making your bed should make you proud. Many people don't do it. Try to lock in those normal fag ones though. Even for me I don't drive and its a mental block / social pariah status. People say its easy but they never had their mind eat their soul before.

I am currently a NEET shut-in.
The games I've pumped the most hours into are Squad and The Finals.
I've stopped playing Squad ever since the infantry combat overhaul, and I have to take breaks from The Finals every so often for my own mental well-being.
I've played plenty of Warframe, Cyberpunk, TF2, Battlefield, and Deep Rock Galactic as well, but those 2 aforementioned games take the cake as far as game time is concerned.

Thanks anon. Sometimes it feels like everyone in this fucking earth is doing better than me and I’m just a complete failure. Helps to know other anons go through the same shit or have gone through it

This, guys you only have one life don't act like it's late, you'd rather be working towards something rather than melting away in solitude thinking how you could've made it if you had started earlier, the more you age the more you realise that you could've started whenever. Just fucking do something.

You don't become a millionaire through investment. It's a scam unless the hobby is your life and even then unreliable income. It's the side gig for people who go from management to business owners or at least high income.
If you think in money already then give it a shot. The one guy talking about Auction House has the right mindset for picking it up. Anyone else casually interested don't bother unless you have real flesh connections who are generous with their advice. You find something good, invest the equivalent of what you earn in 6 months, and pray that by 10 years down the track it has boomed like crazy. That's what real investment is no this short term gains shit.

>being a successful riajuu in high school
He was a loner who got to fuck some edgy pixie dream girl for no reason.

>being an adult and getting beaten up by a group of children
This never happens. Unless by "children" you mean a gang. That would have been a lot more acceptable, but sato just get his shit pushed in by like 3 dorky manlets.

It's all just extremely bizarre and embarrassing. Are we loser maxing? Or are we a chad? Pick a lane. Obviously the latter section of the show chose the former, but that origin story really fucking sucks. Just have your NEET be sexless, ostracized, and bullied by people his age and older so it's relatable.

yeah but they aren't here. They are too busy fucking in house parties and trying not to OD themselves every other weekend.

NAH . PROBABLY NOT GONNA PAY MY TAXES.

You can't be serious, nigger, those things are well known especially by normalfag larpers who pretend to be NEETs and shit, like high school kids who are "NEET" for the summer.
Get real, you faggot.

Normalfags all watch Bocchi for their quirky introverted girl fix now.

It was about how most human beings are disgusting and weak and their woes are self-created while their lives are filled with worthless cope, using which they project the blame on anything but themselves for the things they have done or things they have not.

You are, at least, 10 years late if you think these are "mainstream" in the current normie status quo.
