Tired of all these lame ass 30+ threads where these grandpa's whine about how shit their lives are.
What are we playing this week zoomerbros?

undertale is a decade old

I’m working a 9-5 for the first time in my life and I feel like I can barely hang on most days. How do people manage their whole lives with this shit

>>714225828
being a spiritually dead normalfag with little brain activity helps

>Tired of all these lame ass 30+ threads where these grandpa's whine about how shit their lives are.
don't worry, you'll get there

Playing through the classic DLC games right now, just started 2. Pretty fun; I’m really enjoying the visuals and movement. Also chipping away at Tales of Vesperia and Fantasy Life.

Just working a summer job right now while I wait on grad school to start up.

>>714225958

>>714225828
it was easier when there was less of a connection to the internet.
having a job helped entertain you to some extent.
that said, the discipline you gain from being able to push through the slog becomes very useful in life.
too many moments in life where there is something that sucks but you gotta force yourself to do it.
not just big things, but little daily preventative things that you need to turn into unthinking habit.

the big trap is as >>714225913 says.
the daily grind can kill your soul if you are not careful, and the easiest place to see it is in store clerks who have been there for like a decade or so and arent at retirement age.
people who are legit stuck there, and not just trying to stay busy and in the green while being old as shit.
those people die inside, anon.

>still a neet with no job prospects
Am I fucked?

Oof, made it to the zoomer thread barely thank god
Anyway, still sending those job applications after getting my law degree and paying for dating apps. Any second now guys!!!! This year for sure!!! For sure!!!!

>paying for dating apps

lmaoing @ mad zoomies

>>714225645 (OP)
I’ve been making my way slowly through Rogue Trader. Just finished up on Kiava Gamma.

>>714226914
not yet.
get into anything.
just make a little money and carve out a small niche without getting too comfy.

>>714227481
I’m on the same boat minus the dating apps. Shit sucks.

Playing the Lies of P DLC after finally finishing the base game. First boss was kinda ass but the second one was fun.

>21
Playing stuff? Who does that here

>>714226025
Sorry anon, boomer thread for you

enjoy being a grown adult. your best years are behind, hope you had some fun. its only downhill from now on

>>714226025
>>714228039
Fuck yeah, 97 ftw

>>714225645 (OP)
I'm still a neet living at home.i have no hope for the future. Everything sucks, my country is going to shit, it's impossible to get a job unless you're a jeet, and everything is expensive. I just want to play games and forget the world

>>714228532
I can just end it any time, yolo.

I have an office computer job that I hate and can't find another one
Video games stopped being fun and the only thing I enjoy is going outside.
I think I'm going to kill myself in the next year.
Deltarune is fun at least. I cry whenever they talk about freedom.

>tfw 27 years old about ready to turn 28 next year
It's over for me bros...

>>714228532
Nah

>>714228847
You and me both anon

>probably gonna do it because stockpiling cash is too important
Anyway, I put Fantasian on the backburner and I'm gonna try to finish it during the long weekend. Been alternating between Pokemblem (again) and some mindless roguelike(lite) indies on my off hours. Easy stuff that doesn't take a lot of focus.

I'm scared of my parents growing older. They're both in their 60s

Imagine being raised on rehash culture

I'm so sorry

>>714225645 (OP)
I'm in this picture and I don't care enough anymore to dislike it. The world right now isn't worth not wasting your life in.

>>714229173
I was genuinely excited for the Oblivion remaster because that was the last game I remember that felt original to me at the time.
We're in the rehash timeline.

>>714228532
on the average i feel far happier and more spiritually content at 20 years old than i ever did before (not to imply it won't get worse)

>>714229262
I've been in the exact same spot 5 years ago. Don't worry, it gets worse.

>>714225645 (OP)
I literally turn 28 tomorrow, not even joking
Can I still post in this thread? I'm playing Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma

>>714229262
start reading fiction and poetry. it saves lives

im about to try out project silverfish
just played Metal Garden, its pretty but from what i had heard about it expected it to be more of a proper full game, less so just 2 hours with 2 enemies

>>714229262
Crusader Kings 2 or 3.

>28
I’m shoving myself in here. I played genshin all week catching up through the main story. I have no job, haven’t had one in months, and this game keeps me level headed, unliked when I doom scroll or go outside where I get emotionally drained and angry. I rolled skirk. the world (not real world) is so beautiful but i can only enjoy it for so long before life catches up to me and I run away to Oklahoma or something. my teapot house feels like a respite to me. So I will keep playing and playing because chineseGODs know how to make a big beautiful game

>>714225828
Stop being emotionally dependent on your work experience. Put your head down, get the work day over with and get on with your life

I was born in 2001 yet was raised on late 80's and 90's movies, late 90's and early-mid 2000s games. I was also born early enough to have had a CRT for a good 4-5 years.
I experienced peak media and was also just in time for 360 multiplayer games, flash AND peak youtube(late 2000s/early 2010s).

>22
Working as a lifeguard/swim instructor while taking classes; working on a game on the side.

Life could be better but I’m doing okay. Been playing a bunch of shit recently and haven’t found anything to hold my attention. The last game I was able to really sink my teeth into was Xenoblade X. Waiting on DK Bananza to come out.

My job is legitimately making me reconsider my degree path. I enjoy teaching kids thousands of times more than anything I’ve learned in class. Sucks living in Muttmerica where being a teacher is totally unviable financially.

Maybe I’ll just fuck off and be one of those weirdos that teaches English to Japanese kids or whatever.

>>714230417
too comfy is being uninterested in anything else.
if you make effort to get good at your job you may find it somewhat fulfilling, but a job you get while trying "to get anything" is probably gonna be something dead end like a store clerk or a burger flipper.
the money and work experience of adapting to randoms while doing shit you don't want to is useful, but you don't want to STAY there.
the money you make should become a springboard to get into another job that can turn into a career with the money made from THAT.

staying too long in that kind of service work kills you inside and teaches you to hate people.
its a valuable life lesson, and one that should be moved on from after a few years.

>>714230605
I do some rare seasonal jobs and starting online art sales. Never seems like enough. Bit the complacency bug years ago.

You either make enough friends to couchsurf indefinitely, quite literally lose your soul working forever, or die.

Been stuck working at my 9 to 5 as I prepare to transition to another college for some shit. To take some time off, I've been playing The Hundred Line, which has been enjoyable to play through despite it having the usual anime shit that semi-tolerate/semi-enjoy

You remind me of someone I knew who was basically in the same spot. Didn't have cable and mostly just watched old films and the like

>>714226025
Same. I thought I could join the 25+ gamer threads when I turned 25, but then they bumped it up to 30. It never even began.

>>714230101
Hairline status?

>>714230920
learn to compartmentalize. that is part of the "numbness"
its easy to get caught up hating people who aren't worth it.
aren't worth the time spent feeling anything about them.
better to shift that hate onto more specific things rather than the people doing them.

>>714226914
probably. my life is pretty shit too and i have a job with a degree and even have a few friends.

Join a rec sports team. Lots of community centers and local parks have them.

Being on the swim team in Uni was basically the only reason I made long standing relationships there.

Hey, that's still good. Ride that wave as long as you can, brother. That's a good deal and I'm jealous I can't do it, myself.
>>714231130
Way I did it? In High School I did pretty much every after school activity as an excuse to not go home, which got me along with a wide swath of people. After High School, whenever I got a new job I found one guy I got along with (via similar interests or just getting along), stuck with him like glue, and essentially using him as a springboard to make friends with others. A little social maneuvering takes you a long way, trust me on that.

>>714230627

i dont understand why this is impossible for millennials to understand. i had the same experience yet im called a skibidi zoomer in every thread for even being born in 1997. how fucking old are these retards?

>>714230385
I quit genshin before but only came back because I missed it. I should have kept my old account because at least the world is gorgeous to walk around in. I’m glad I got skirk but I know how this game works, it’s gonna be a while till I get to build her but for now the main og cast is fine.
It’s mostly age related but being almost 30 and still acting like a teen puts a damper on me, but I’ve had so little employment that getting any kind of job is scary to me, so that’s what I mean by life catching up to me. And living where I am now feels not worth the effort with the amount I would have to work, so I always fantasize about leaving with what savings I have.

I'm playing Earthbound on a browser. Speaking as a zoomer Deltarune fan, it's pretty damn cool. I can totally see the inspiration Toby got from this game.
Haven't gotten far, though, just beat up Frank.

>>714231575
anon, as a 2003zoomer, it's because it's just easier to do bait threads to get attention. not to say i doubt some 30+ fags on this site are retarded enough to actually think all zoomers just grew up with 2010s shit all the wall through, but i feel most are just being retarded on purpose

same. never thought about going for crna or the masters?

in relation to vidya, my backlog is almost done, I finished TLOU2 the other day and it was substantially better than Part One

In relation to life I feel like I've been dealing with the same issues for 10+ years, and every time they get close to being resolved either I lose focus or literal cosmic level of domino chain reaction fuck me up.

In relation to work, I have a chill/social job I work like 4-5 hours a week genuinely lovely place to work and everyone was hired on personalit so we get along. I have a bill paying job that I'm also lucky enough to like but it's solo client based work, support work, so clients can be anything from a textbook autistic sonic kid who I play Smash Bros with all the way up to a non-verbal downs syndrome guy who I just make sure doesn't shit his pants. I did my degree in filmmaking, and bizzarely enough have the ability to work for some local OF girls, so likely to try to do that to get back into filming stuff, and make cash to cover my student debt.

35 year old here, kill yourself.

not even good college, half of the classes are virtual and they off shore the education to fucking google of all things, how can they demand so fucking much for each month, if it wasn't for a infinity supply of porn and a backlog I would kill myself right here and now

I turn 27 in two weeks and I feel like i've been wasting away for years. I've got no desire to play video games, go out and collect/buy older games, my job keeps on giving me shit pay/shit hours or pairs me up with indians fresh off the plane who have no idea what the fuck they're doing, friends moved away years ago and none of them talk to me anymore, there's no desire to do anything on my days off besides rot in bed and shitpost on imageboards.

>>714231890

im considering going back to school for crna. seems a lot less mentally and physically exhausting compared to working as a regular RN at a nursing home which is what i do now. might enrol into that in january but fucking hate the thought of going back to school. especially at 27 years old. but at the same time i just cant stand living home with my parents doing nothing with no friends all day every day. what about you, anon?

>>714232257
they set up a a virtual class that you have to attend for grades, they do no fucking effort and I got 97+ just for using chat gpt in every single assignment I'm wasting my life

everyone younger than me just needs to fucking DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Predictable that diaper shitting zoomies steal a millennial thread idea instead of thinking of something new. Enjoy our sloppy seconds of IPs created in the 80s and 90s until you die you brain-fried retards.

The only reason I'm not an heroing is because I'm currently studying to get 2 specialist titles for dental implants and prosthetics. Having any objective whatsoever is keeping me sane so I'd definitely recommend going all in on beefing up your qualifications especially in health where your entire career is reduced to 1 - years of experience and 2 - qualifications.
Will this fix our problems? I absolutely don't know but it's something.

>>714231585
Yeah makes sense. I sometimes feel similar. Do you think you act that way or just in your head/in private? Also totally get the job thing. I was similar. I've only had 4 jobs my entire life, but I spend as long as I can at them when they're tolerable. Have you thought of any out of the box job ideas that might motivate you? Or goals irl to work for? I'm finally going to get and decorate a shelf to display knick knacks and plushies, which has helped keep me going

Don't let the 30 wall scare you. It's the same as now from what I've heard lol

>>714232545
imagine living during a time without cute gacha women

I don't play much outside of Ultrakill, using cheats and mods to make max skill level characters in Skyrim and the occasional Slay the Princess playthrough. And I blow a load once or twice every day even though it feels kind of meh. It's all kind of shit but it's all I really have.

>>714231249

>But I'm coping at this point
yeah i guess im doing that too. im generally a rather hopeful person at my core so i probably wont ever succumb to suicidality or anything like that, but shit really does fucking suck and it all just feels so dull and grey. might just be me reaching ripe old age but shit weirdly feels more chaotic and less cohesive with age rather than the inverse which is what older people always say. guess its because im not married with kids, but i dont think i want to nor should be doing that.
>wish there was some easier way of finding friends these days
yeah its rather elusive to me too. i have online friends that i have known for well over a decade that meet about once a year in some country, but thats not a consistent year round friendship like with a local friend. i am also a musician that plays instruments and works with music production though and would like to frequent music venues for like-minded people but the music scene in my city is abysmal fucking dogshit so i never feel like doing it.
>>714232808

>>714225828
It gets easier once your body gets used to it. Working can be more physically demanding than you would think. Eat right to make sure you have adequate energy for work and build up the necessary muscle tissue you need after work. Work sucks a lot less if your body is able to physically handle it.

>>714232814
I try to act like a “real adult” when I go out. I overdress a little, like business casual so I at least don’t feel like a loser. Other than the usual goals like getting my own place and a gf, I don’t really have any smaller goals because I tried new hobbies and they haven’t stuck. I always joke I want to make enough money to repaint my car even though it’s almost 20 years old. as for job, I’m not adventurous enough. Amazon seems like my only option and I can go back when they have work available.

>>714233714
Created by gen x and boomers for and targeted at millennial kids. All our media is a product of our time during childhood. You had to be there so yes it is sloppy seconds because it's literally not for you.

>>714232852
I member. We had the lowest suicide rate every in the history of mankind.

I'm in the middle of an internship and holy fuck having a "professional" job is one of the most disappointing experiences ever
I know that I'm doing ez mode garbage but the workplace culture is garbage, are most wagies brainwashed?

>>714228819
better than working in a factory.
Take up a hobby after work or maybe go back to school even for liberal arts or something broad like that. I understand however if its hard to find the time.
Enjoy Deltarune!

just know that everyone working is also thinking this. you are all in the same boat and are more similar than you think. people are just putting on a mask in order to get through he damn day. dont know why 4channers make up a "normie" boogieman all the time when they really are exactly like how you are 75% of the time

>>714233936
You can, but any topical aspects to it are lost on both of us the same way Gone with the Wind's racial themes are outdated.

>go to college they say
>you’ll get a gf and a good job they say
I feel like I wasted my years going to school where I should’ve been building a good and healthy normie life with other normies rather than being isolated in my lab researching god knows what. I should’ve gone to the fucking army, at least then I’d have government buxx and bitches. Now I have a masters degree with some money but no bitches or friends. I felt like I was lied to and now it’s my fault that I’m jobless with no gf. My only hope is finding a good job or inheriting my grandmas wealth, which isn’t happening anytime soon I think (bless her heart tho)

Its usually a matter of work environment. Ive had plenty of shitty jobs but even the shittiest of jobs I can get through depending on the people Im around. As long as everyone is doing their best to help each other out you can get through the day easy, but some mother fuckers derive pleasure from just making your day harder and those experiences can always drag a day down.
If you work enough of these wagie jobs you can see this too, anyone who is applying to do a wagie job PRAYS they get to do some shit like stock stuff or cook, anything a customer normally wouldnt see, minimizes interactions. On the opposite end those whose job it is to deal with 100's of strangers everyday are the ones always complaining cause running into an asshole is a guarantee and if you speak the wrong way or move your eyes in a certain matter theyll pounce on you(Even though the pandemic is over I still wear my mask to work cause of this shit cause god forbid you move your mouth a certain way too).
If you are one of the younger anons reading this, try to jump around as much as you can and find a place with good people, they do exist. Its a privilege exclusive to the young too, once you hit a certain age people are less inclined to hire you,""""""experience"""""" be damned.

the past 5 years have felt like 2 years to me. i simply cant believe we are in 2025 and not 2022 right now.

My therapist is pretty sure I have OCD/Anxiety disorder and it keeps getting worse. I initially didn't want to medicate because I was afraid of the side effects but it's really starting to affect me physically and mentally (gave myself mild tinnitus from clenching my jaw too much, no joke).

Any anons have experience with this shit/advice?

I really only went because my research was nicely funded with covid funds, fafsa and other grants. I figured (and still do) that wildlife biologists have some utility in the real world, but literally no one is hiring, and the ones that do deny my applications for x and y reasons. I was fed a lie and told getting a job would be easy, it fucking isn’t unless you’re a woman since most jobs in my area are heavily women oriented

>>714234636

You could actually, but they prefer zoologist more because fuck me that’s why. Aside that, national parks monitoring, specimen research, natural resources monitoring, research assistant, etc. Depending on what you’re thesis is (ie grizzly bears), some job departments will favor you more than other candidates because of the species/animal you specialize in

12, parental neglect

I’m 24 and 3 years later I’m still not over my ex. That breakup completely destroyed me. Even now I still feel like she’s the only one I will ever really love in my life despite how much she destroyed me for her own selfish reasons. The prospect of getting in a new relationship doesn’t even interest me anymore. I go through dating apps all the time and half the time I’ll just ignore matches because they aren’t her. And the other half I’ll talk to for maybe a day before ghosting. I just feel absolutely nothing for any girls.
Should I just end it

>>714235832
idk 4chan was always quite well known in my country, despite the amount of millennials on here that think 4chan was/is some hecking sekrit club. i remember using it back in middle school with my friends in computer class and we would laugh at how retarded everyone on here was. little would i know that i would still be on this shithole at age 27

>>714236065
Don't worry. You'll feel the same way in a couple of years.
When you are 23 you'll be like "oh shit, time actually passes", then you'll get scared of being 25+, then once you reach 26 you'll be scared of being 30. And like that, little by little, you'll become unable to enjoy anything because it'll feel like you're wasting the little time you have to fix your life.

Well-adjusted people are less likely to blogpost because they don't have a need to scream into the void about their problems in the hopes that someone can answer back.

You already made your choice, it's over.

>>714238718
No. I'm a 39 year old boomer and I've been learning Japanese, another thing that people claim is impossible unless you're young. I learned 1700 kanji and 1-2 kunyomi of each in 3 months. It all comes down to time spent. People who started on a skill as children are better just because starting as a child gave them more time to practice it. One thing you have going for you is that adults learn way more efficiently than children. Make sure you do focused and consistent practice following a good guide/teacher and you can catch up pretty quick.

>>714234636
I've noticed that it's mostly women and aspies getting hired these days. Either that or you know someone on the inside who essentially hands you the position, but even then it's not a guarantee. He managed to get me an online interview, but the entire process was conducted by a group of Indians, and I could tell they REALLY didn't want me there. One of them even interrupted me mid-answer and told me that I was wrong while glaring at me. I could barely understand what the fuck any of them were saying through their accents and had to ask them to repeat themselves a lot. Sure enough, next week I ask my friend and they hired some Indian guy. That's what I get for being white, I guess.

By 'blox I mean literally just Phighting.
I did some fan designs. That game is very inspirational. But the players will never see it because I don't want to post art in a community filled with children.

>>714240403
Yeah just Anki. I learn the meaning, 1 onyomi, and 1-2 kunyomi depending on if the word is relevant (the deck I have rates them on usefulness but I would say 80-90% of them I learn). I don't write, only read. When I started the first few times took me 6+ more hours but its gotten easier as my brain adjusted. I used to repeat them for too long but it doesn't do anything. I still probably do. I do them until I feel its good enough and then stop. The next day I have about 50% or less retention on every single thing on every new one I just did, but most I remember at least 1 thing. Then I repeat them a few times until I remember everything again, then the next day retention is 80% or more, etc. until they get memorized. My total retention is 80% but from what I've seen it will go up fast after there's no more new ones left and its all reviews.

I'm not saying I can speak Japanese now or anything and I know I still have a long way to go. Everything I've learned is only single kanji after all. After I finish the deck I still have to learn compound kanji, grammar, and practice listening. But as far as vocabulary I know a ton of individual words whereas when I started I thought learning another language was impossible. If I can do it at my age then surely people in their 20's can learn new skills.too.

It helped me. I realized my life didn't turn out the way that I wanted because I wasn't taking active control of my life and was merely doing what was expedient.
In response, I spent a year studying for a placement exam, writing essays, applying to and interviewing for grad school programs.
Now I've been admitted to a program that has good placement in the field I want to get into, where I have already made some connections.
There are some things you can't control, obviously. You'll never be an NBA player if you're bown a dwarf. However, when you take an honest look at your past actions and realize the mistake you made, then use that knowledge to create a realistic plan to achieve your goals, then you'd be surprised what you can do.

Indian nepotism makes Jewish nepotism look like a joke.
The difference is that Jews have always been a tiny group, so they have always been forced to hire at least a few goys to keep things running.
Jeets, on the other hand, outnumber whites several times over, meaning that they can replace every white man with a jeet and they will if given the chance.

Weird.

Sometimes the fear of death creeps back up on me again but I think I’m okay. Working out and meditating helps a little bit. I wish I wasn’t a skeptic and could believe in some deity without question.

>>714235952
Gonna be honest with you, bro, and I say this with full sincerity: you need to get over her. Yeah, I get it, she still has your heart locked up, but she absolutely does not give a shit about you and has likely moved on, or maybe was a disappointing person and would have inflicted even worse psychic damage on you. Dating sucks. It really fucking does, especially in a modern setting because of how much bullshit has affected it. But honestly? Not expecting much is kind of a good thing. Desperation drives people away so hard and it just causes a negative feedback loop.

But you do need to let this one go in some capacity. It will be tough, and it may take a while to fully do so, but I promise you as cliche as it sounds, she's not worth further fucking up your own mental health because she's certainly nowhere in the same boat as you and is not worth even thinking about. Leave her in the gutter.

>>714236140

Let me put it to you like this, given the state of modern comics and even in the past: the bar has never been lower. You have plenty of time. Natural talent is a good early boost, but those people also burn out the fastest.

I don't mind working because I have no friends or hobbies outside gaming and reading, and I can do those whenever I want. I'm home by 3pm and make enough to buy literally whatever I want even though I'm now too smart to go wasting it on random games I won't play. I can stockpile and go 2 weeks to japan if I get the energy one day. Sure as shit beats logging into a dead game during work hours. Do not envy being a neet. There's a reason even those physically broken down don't quit working post-retirement.

Nah, I'd just like to start writing in general as a reporter, book writer, or writer on a video game project and insert some shitty writing into your favorite video game series. Honestly, most folks say I have a talent for it and I don't really have any other life plans so I'm just going for it. I don't hate writing either. The theatre minor is potentially a mistake but I enjoy the classes, and it's good for getting over public speaking woes. Could also do acting or voice acting with it

Just come in prepared and you'll be fine. Wear a suit with a tie - people will say you don't have to, and that's technically true, but it genuinely helps. Doesn't matter what kind of job it is. Be prepared to ask questions that make you seem genuinely interested in the company and what the job is like, but if they want to do all the talking let them. Bring a copy of your resume. Speak as well as you're able - don't be afraid to pause to think about what you want to say. As an overall idea, consider it as if you're playing a character named The World's Most Employable Man. Lie if it makes you look good but keep in mind that you have to remember that lie forever. Pay a couple bucks for a professional resume building service. Don't get too neurotic about being nervous - most people are nervous in interviews. Practice it a few times with a friend if you can.

if your boss and coworkers like you they will cover your mistakes and help you to learn how to do the job correctly
if they don't like you they will make you miserable and be constantly looking for ways to fuck you over. so be pleasant to everyone
don't work so hard that you burn out, don't be afraid to say no to overtime/extra duties, but do the things you're actually supposed to do really well. you won't have any problems going at it like that

Been very nostalgic for TF2 and Roblox it as of late and haven't played either of them in ages. I've been playing TF2 just fine and I had just as much fun as I did when I was younger. I recently tried out roblox again after like 12 years and holy fucking shit dude what the fuck happened to this game. I knew it has gotten more popular than ever now but holy shit so many things have changed and I did not have fun with it at all. Also my college classes are ending soon and I just have to do one more assignment to complete and I will be able to pass. If I fuck it up I jave to repeat it again. Wish me luck.

About to be 24. Got accepted for a masters in cs at a local uni. Hoping to get internships/work out of it since I got nothing for the 2 years since I graduated.

Traditionally people think their jobs are cool or they were devoured at a young age so they never developed anything that wasn't that. It's why you see old guys with plenty of money to retire or just not do this ass crack of dawn coffee thermos commute shit but they like that they like morning talk radio they like their morning routine they like basically their life being managed for them even if it's a really shitty life and I think that's changing drastically. Most people still would just watch TV until they couldn't stand it anymore so they look forward to stuff like office gossip and what do I order for lunch and are we going out this Thursday for drinks and whatever else.

we had 4 cats, currently we have 3, one died last year because of epilepsy issues, her heart gave up just before we got to the doctor to put her to sleep without pain at least but couldn't be granted even that, its legit soul draining to see them go away, in such way too, when you grow up with them, they are almost my only friends and i cannot imagine a future without them, even now i have sunk into deeper depressions because if it wasn't bad enough, my grandfather passed away last year too, however we lost all of our family inheritance to bitch he was living with and she was poisoning his mind for years ( and quite literally poisoning him with bad mushrooms too ), turns out they secretly married several years ago and he gave everything to her in his brainwashed state, now she and her bastards that aren't even related to the family get everything, it hurts all the more when you spent your childhood there and it was the only place on the planet that you could do whatever you want without any fear there, when grandfather died, grandma got stroke some 2 weeks later and now she is also dependent on us, sadly we already live in such cramped apartment she has to stay in her own one but at least it is just across the road.
