30+ gamer thread

Literally nothing interests me except obscure CRPGs I hear about on RPGCodex. I will go through hundreds of games on my Steam queue and not one interests me.

finally picked up bloodstained and it's been great except for the final boss, few tries and i'm done with this game, i'm not grinding shit, no thx
i've got tactics ogre remake on ps4, maybe i'll boot that up but i just don't care for the plot at my age, i've seen/done most everything

Early 30s and doing just fine. Just bought a PS5 and Astro Bot was great. Probably going to play Returnal or Clair Obscur next. Otherwise it's a bunch of PC turn based strategy games. At this point I can't play a single player campaign if it's over 20 hours long. I don't have the attention span nor do I want to commit to that. I will probably break this rule with Clair but I hear it's not an overly long RPG

early 30s now. I transitioned a couple of years ago. best decision of my life. I recommend it to everyone who’s a struggling autistic male

Early 30s here, I started playing /trash/ games multiplayer, the gay ERP soothes my soul. Highly recommended.

Seriously, why are there so many old people here? I always assumed that most of the posters here would be between the ages of 18-21. I'm 19 and if I saw myself posting past the age of 21 I would kill myself, so I can't imagine all these guys in their mid 20s and 30s using this website and feeling okay about it.

Trying to play Vintage Story with friends, but they keep ghosting me to play FOTM games and acting like they're busy with working overtime even though I can see what their "invisible" Steam account says they've been playing.

>>714706941
There is nothing else to do. If you failed at life in your 20s and missed out on partying and sex, choosing to stay inside and play video games - this will be your fate. It can not be changed.

I remember writing a post like this back when I was around 22. I saw all these 30 and 40+ year olds posting and I remember thinking how pathetic they were. Fast forward - now I'm 34 and still here.
It happens faster than you think. You'll follow the same path if you don't leave now, but I have a feeling you won't and one day you'll be just like me, but responding to a gen alpha who thinks your cringe for still posting here.

>>714708065
it's a bait man, someone always posts it in these threads

>>714706941
>same pasta in every 30+ thread
get better material

I caught lyme disease in a state that has 10 cases a year. I was cured of it because my mom wouldn't stop bugging me about the bulleyes rash and I went to see a doctor about it

my 3 year old niece kicked me in the eye and gave me a detached retina

I was in a car accident that caused the aneurysm my neck to get worse and also cause eye symptoms that had nothing to do with getting kicked in the eye. my aneurysm doctors won't listen to me because of the earlier coincidence with getting kicked in the eye

looking forward to DK bananza

41yo fag here
I feel so little joy in playing games today, and when I do, it's old stuff I already played to death like classic Fallouts, Arcanum, Morrowind and others
I think I only played a single "fresh" game this year

>>714708189
also I'm 31

>>714706941
You are here forever, soon we will have 80 years old boomers posting here.

34. Every time I tell myself I'm going to play a real video game, I just end up playing IIDX all day instead. Or fapping.

>>714708219
Yeah, It must be very hard to be a todd howard fanboy these days.

The Bluey game sucks ass

I hate my corporate office job so much its unreal, i constantly fantasize about quitting and getting a blue collar job somewhere.
Manual labor cant be that bad, right? You dont see these guys getting depression and burnout and being dependent on anxiety medication just to function

Had fun with balatro and did a lot of the challenges, real fun to do for 5 minutes during work on my steam deck. Finishing a skyrim run and then seeing what I do next. Got into Blue Archive, nice casual gacha I can pop in for 10 minutes. Don't see myself sticking with it for long but scratches an itch.

>>714708294
When 4chinners died, I was forced to see how shit the rest of the internet is. There is nothing close to being as good as this shithole. I’m going to be here until either it or I die

>>714708454
Almost every blue collar worker I know who is over 45 complains about being in constant pain. Be grateful.

>>714704425 (OP)
I can't believe it's been 30 years since 1995. it feels like just yesterday. I keep wanting to think that I could just walk over to Blockbuster and rent some SNES games but it's been gone for decades and only homeless people live there now. I want to go back.

>>714708454
>Manual labor cant be that bad, right?
If you’re not a workhorse, it’s bad. You gotta like working to like blue collar work. You seem like a fucking pussy complaining about clicking on a keyboard so I don’t recommend a job chance

>>714708294
77 here

31, games just don't really do it for me anymore, i can only play the same old games now, not compelled at all to try anything new. I get more excited buying a new chair or seeing grass I just planted sprout.

It might be over for me and playing games..

>>714704679
The last game that interested me on steam was Dread Delusion, and faggots on here whined about some troon drama instead of actually discussing the cool world. Shit sucks.

>>714708454
They use coors and meth to function. Its all the same, but at least in corporate your back isnt an S by 40

>>714708654
stop posting the same comment on every youtube video dude. nobody cares

sappers wiped me
they were tribal and didnt have grenades...but i didnt know their knives fucking 3 shot stone walls

>>714708573
I miss Friday night blockbuster SO damn much. I can still smell it.

>>714708701
Is it any good? I got it in early access a while ago

45 year old here. I just started playing Atelier Ayesha. I’ve always been a big fan of the Arland series but never tried Dusk for some reason. It’s pretty neat so far

>>714704425 (OP)

Really like roguelikes
Really like cooking
Just thinking about what I'm going to cook next while grinding monster train crowns and watching anime in the background.
Getting older but my mind still constantly racing.

>>714706941
>why are there so many old people here?
You will be joining us sooner than you think, brother.

Played EDH/commander on table top with bros last night. Havent spoken with two of them for 3 years

WE ARE SO BACK

>>714708454
Been in the blue collar scene for a few years. Broken backs, pain meds, guys sometimes making money hand over fist and just burning it away on benders, strip clubs, poppers, meth, crack, viagara and whatever a good connection will get you. They hook up with some troubled succubus and get stuck with her. They have depression, they just hide it. They have anxiety like anyone else. Some of them cover their anxieties in neurotic, frustrating behavior and some gain anxiety from the work or the fuck ups they did.

manual labor sucks and even being your own boss sucks because you need to be actively finding work constantly, you have no weekends, you have no time.

>>714708834
Yeah, building damage has always been fucked without mods. Pawns should not be beating down brick walls with their bare hands and steel should not be fucking flammable.

I hate this so much. I don't want to work shitty jobs where I kill my body. Just let me print papers in an office or something

>>714709484
I think it's cause some of the shit on this site gets posted to reddit and causes people to get curious and come here

the kid Vega managed to shoot down and save a few....then 12 hares sealed the deal as i was franticly trying to repair wall

>>714708454
>You dont see these guys getting depression and burnout and being dependent on anxiety medication just to function
They are they just don't talk about it because they're "real" men aka mentally unstable and one bad interaction from trying to commit murder. Also you get a bonus medication of whatever is the best painkiller you can easily become addicted to.

>>714709182
Grandfather is his own boss. Contractor. You should see him calling around, practicularly begging for work and struggling to make the different schedules, locations and tasks line up.

>>714709549
I'm with you, 91 bro

Got a Switch 2, got halfway through the Link's Awakening remake then stopped. Waiting on the new DK.

I'm old enough that despite having the house to myself yesterday,

>Just let me print papers in an office or something
just be an office assistant then lol. not hard. then, work your way up and you’ll be one of those HR ppl that do paperwork for employees

>>714709720
*Despite having the house to myself yesterday, I got sick of being in the house and wandered around the mall. Bought a Gundum kit despite knowing nothing of Gundum because felt old man urge to assemble something.

>>714708924
Yeah, it's fantastic. Really doesn't hold your hand and all the attacks/builds are properly viable. Usually games like this have broken stealth, but this works great, even if it's over the top with it.

>>714709669
Should have invested into equipment and put it up for hire. You end up having people call you, that's what I did. Took out a loan, bought an excavator, hire it out, paid off the loan fairly quick, took out another loaned, bought a 'dozer, hire it out, and so on.

>>714709847

Playing the shit out of Dead Cells. This game fucks really hard.

>>714709964
Agreed. He's not a smart guy. Can't even get someone to work under him because "no one wants to work". Everyone else can but he can't. He's stuck in the whole mindset of working involving you being in site, shaking hands, waiting 4 hours for the boss to give you the next instructions.

>>714708701
Its an interesting world, but its weakness is that it blue balls you constantly. You go out and do these things like hand over the hub town to a god thinking something will happen but there's absolutely no repercussion. The ending was a mediocre slide deck. Using charisma to skip the fight with the zodiac killer was hamfisted and uncompelling. Summons were a lot of fun but extremely buggy which soured the last bit of the game for me.
It was like an 8/10. Probably a 5/10 if you don't care for the audio and visual design.

>>714710345
Why did you have kids?

Finally felt something after playing ff7 rebirth. Great soundtrack, listen to it everyday on my wagecuck job now.

Last time I felt alive was when I played witcher 3 on launch. Just too old and cynical now. Might enjoy E33 so I will pick that up next

>>714710465
TIME ONLY STARTS TICKING FASTER FROM THERE, ANON

>>714710623
It's not necessarily out of pain. Sometimes you just make old man noises for no real reason, keep a weather eye out, it'll start happening.

>>714710113
does in my country.

>>714710465
You'll be 40 in what will feel like just 3 days.

>>714710748
This. I don't even know why I do it. I try to stop and realizes it's harder to not do it than just do it. Must be the body venting out the effort or something.

>>714710839
It's so good though

>>714708454
I end every day with five beers, two weed gummies, and maybe some rakija.
My knees are fucked, my spine has reached the point of being able to click wrong and suddenly I'm in for a week of uncontrollable back pain.
And everyone I work with is much the same.

31 is still young right bros...?

>>714710748
>>714710839
>>714710890
I thought you meant bones creaking.
What are these "old man noises" which are "so good"
I'm getting nervous

>>714710748
You mean like grunting?

>>714710704
>>714710812
I'm aware, its honestly insane how fast even the past 5 years felt in relation to the first 24.

>>714704425 (OP)
mid 30's and I hate everything. games, movies, music. I want to like things but they keep making slop instead. we barely get any games nowadays and most are shit, most of my gaming time I'd rather go back to gen 6 since that was the last time anything was good

>>714710965
31 + 31 is 62 anon.... and the second half of your life moves much quicker than the first.... so

>>714710561
Not him but man I've been noticing that when I go down any flight of stairs I'm like 5-10% less slower. It's weird. I'm not even a fatass.

>>714710965
Dont think so. I am 31 as well and I feel it is pretty much over for me. Just go to my wagecuck job that I hate, come home , browse v and go to sleep. I wish I had a qt waifu to cheer me up but I missed out on love so completely messed up there as well

>>714710965
I still had a bit of hope at 31

>Adults always tell kids to do what they can while they're young because it'll be too late when they're old
>But they never say why that is

i turn 34 in a month. still haven't done anything in life, anxiety ruined everything and just turned me into a repressed husk of a person.

but at least I'm not suicidal, I just do nothing, I subsist.

>>714704425 (OP)
zoomer here. do you still play old games? and how do you feel about being older than a lot of highly successful people like mrbeast? how does it feel that someone half your age has accomplished more than you ever will?

>>714710934
Is that from manual labor? How are you supposed to work with that until retirement?

Why is browsing 4chan the only thing I want to do in my free time? Like technically after work I have 4 hours of "free time" to do whatever I want but I always gravitate to 4chan. I'm just not in the mood to play games or watch anime, even if I have a giant backlog to get through.

>>714710969
Grunts, groans, sighs, sometimes you just exhale as you sit and stand. It's a diaphragm thing. I couldn't explain why, but it's just satisfying to make the noise.

>>714710995
Yeah, you know the sound, right? It's hard to describe.

>>714711273
Meh, it is what it is. Plenty of Gen Alpha will be infinitely more successful then you. 99.99999% of humanity is irrelevant and will be forgotten after they die.

>>714711273
I'd rather be in the grave than be someone like mr beast. Find better icons to look up to.

>>714710798
Get out of that shithole

>>714711273

>>714704425 (OP)
Playing FF14 main story quests today.

Anyone else here play this? Should I be grinding for tomestones at the end of each expansion to get the better gear or is it more efficient to just move on and take the charity gear from the main story quests

>>714711243
Get a job

>>714711243
I'm mostly the same. I've never had any drive to make anything of myself. In a way, it's kind of a blessing so far, but now i'm reaching a point where I'm going to start finally paying the price for it.
I won't kill myself either because I refuse to allow my life to end as a tragedy. If I get cancer or die in a car crash? Fine, whatever. But I'm not ending things voluntarily.

>>714711324
Just find better games and forget about your backlog. If you have to force yourself to play something it's not worth it

Anyone over the age of 40 should just kill themselves. Imagine wanting to live past your physical and mental peak whilst slowly rotting from the inside out.

>>714711273
>mr beast
Fucking zoomers man, we think about zuckerberg or if we had just thrown $1000 at BTC back in 2009

Also,
>When Julius Caesar was about 33 years old, while visiting a temple in Spain dedicated to Hercules, he encountered a statue of Alexander the Great. Upon seeing the statue and learning Alexander had died at the same age, Caesar reportedly wept. He lamented that Alexander had achieved so much, conquering vast territories by that age, while Caesar felt he had accomplished relatively little. This incident is recorded in Plutarch's Life of Julius Caesar.
Caesar and most people dont find true success until their 50s

>>714711273
comparing yourself to other people is something you stop doing when you're out of middle school

>>714711273
>how do you feel about being older than a lot of highly successful people like mrbeast

For me it was athletes. When you started hitting that age where you're older than the 19 year olds in their peak athletic prime making millions of dollars and you're just a middle aged wagie watching him on TV. It felt so cucked I stopped watching all sports.

>>714711273
Envy is not a productive use of energy. Good on him for making it, a lot of people don't and that number is growing by the year, and that's a damned shame.
>do you still play old games?
Damn right I do, though it's getting harder to play some of the really old games since the hardware has moved away to the point compatibility modes just flat out do not work anymore. The more obscure it is, the less likely it is to work.

>>714704425 (OP)
>playing the system shock 2 remaster for the first time
It's fucking perfect. Why are we not allowed to have games like this anymore? This really is solidifying the idea that the only way to enjoy modern vidya is to play everything pre-2012.

>>714708454
Spent my 20s in the trades. Don't. Not unless you intend to pickup 2 substance abuse problems. Best case is Monsters and Zyns. Most common is alcoholism and cigarettes. Worst case is meth and fent. Regardless of how you feel about MDE, the Eric Hayden sketches are pure misery porn to me. The type of shit I can feel with every bone in my body and on a spiritual level.

Any vampires here?
I'm turning 33 next friday, and I'm still more or less happy because I still look younger than I look. I don't know how long it will last, but genetics is on my side, for now. People always think my father is 10 years younger.
Anyway, I recently started playing L4D2 again with my bros. We haven't played since highschool, when we used to go to internet cafes.

>>714704848
Boomer math. Grandpa can't even comprehend common core no cap

>>714711757
Good luck. Most jobs are being gobbled up by illegals and AI

>>714711664
Well. This brings back memories. I spent my early 20s doing garbage factory jobs that made me into a misanthrope. I kept begging for a comfy office job until I finally went back to school and got into comp sci. I will never understand people who romanticize blue collar work. It’s the pits. Offices have some shit too but it’s nowhere near as bad.

>>714711437
I stopped playing that tranny shit before yawnfail.

>>714711107
i left the military at 31 and felt so alive and young... wish i can go back to that, 31 is a great age anon, do something dramatic to experience new things

The ragebait is tiring, I don't remember the early internet being this bad

>>714711881
>AI
You are an idiot. Lol

>32 old HKV
Should I just kms, bros?

>>714711501
how bad is it in your case? I have almost legitimately no life experiences. Never traveled, never been to a party, never been drunk with other people, never slept at a hotel, never had sex (obviously)
Life just stopped when I quit school, just all of it spent in front of the computer after that unless I tag along to visit my grandmother or something

>>714711864
32, I got asked for fucking ID buying booze so I started wearing a beard, it seems to work.

>>714711923
Yeah I heard it’s bad but I figure I can probably buy a story skip by the time I get there.

>>714711864
>Any vampires here?
I used to work with two of your kind. One of them was part of the old guard but looked like he just blew in from highschool. Good kid though. Probably older than me by almost a decade but still a good kid.

>>714711864
last time I got carded was 6 years ago. I think I could pull it off if I didn't lose my hair.

Mid 30s, im just not gonna buy new games. Ill just keep waiting for sales, and if its not for sale, ill just find a way to play it if its worth it.

I'm 24 soon 25 and I feel genuine fear readig the posts here
Life feels quite hopeless, how do I turn things around before it's too late?

>>714704425 (OP)
Just finished Death Stranding 2. It was kino. Literally; there are a lot of cutscenes at the end, as you should expect from Kojima.
Should I jump into Wukong next, or finally finish Rise of the Ronin, which I put on hold when Stellar Blade came out last year?

>>714712063
You don't. It just gets worse.

>>714712063
Be proactive. You'll be 30 before you know it.

>>714712063
Everyone gets older and everyone dies. You can’t stop it, no point obsessing over it.

>>714712035
The game is bad overall nowadays. You're late to the party.

>>714712063
You were born without your consent, you will continue to live as a slave. There is no turning around.

>>714712063
Accumulate wealth and real assets. Money solves almost every problem.

>>714712063
I'm probably just gonna kms when I turn 30.

>>714712128
Ah man!

You will own nothing, and be happy.

>>714712063
Sleep well. Bed at 9 up at 5.
If you can't do anything else, do just that.
Exercise if you don't already. It gets harder the older you get.

Anxiety lives rent free in your head. Good sleep and exercise will kick it to the curb.

>>714706941
It's the Mr. Burns "don't forget you're here forever meme." I started on /b/ when I was 14. In 2008. I'm 31.
That said, it's actually weird to me that there are children like you. You say you assume everyone is college age. I personally assume everyone is in their early thirties.

>>714712195
Why? Things don’t really start getting bad until you’re 40

>>714711882
The only difficult thing about an office job is being able to be nice and get along with everyone. Dump a point or 2 into charisma and/be the guy who brings in snacks and you're pretty much office Chad. Id rather talk to a transexual about vidya than Mark the electrician bitching about his soon-to-be divorce and divorce rape (true story).

>>714712063
At the very least invest. Stocks, gold, crypto, your choice.

>>714711976
Most of that stuff is overrated though. It's only worth it if your brain rewards you for doing it. Mine has never worked like that.
But yeah, same boat.

I feel like everyone on this site is depressed regardless of age. But half of it isn’t even real depression it’s meme depression like “oh man my life is so hard I have to play video games in my nice house all day long and eat nice food….”

I've been gaming in short bursts since mid 20's. Unless its a multiplayer game where you have to sit through a 30-40 min game. I found this way of gaming way more enjoyable and I literally never ever burn out.

Jeets? Yeah they are pretty bad. Its not their fault though, Republicans gutted everything Americans have built from the previous 7 decades?

I used to like Pokemon so all these creature collector games coming out now Palworld paved the way makes me happy. As a fan of these games we're/going to be eating good so I look forward to some of them. I don't like playing as much as I use to; maybe an hour at most then I start getting bored but I made my peace with it. Indies make me feel like I'm back in the PS1/Xbox days when we had boat loads of AA titles mixed in with the usual big stuff so I throw money at Kickstarters and buy Indies more these days. Keeping my eye on some RTS's but I'm still waiting for a RPG that pulls me in big time. Staying positive.

The one piece of advice that no one will give you, but you figure out later after it's too late to use it is that in order to succeed in life, you cannot be yourself, es-fucking-pecially if you're the type of person that gravitates to 4chan. You build a fake persona and conduct yourself by it till you make it, but if you do it's still gonna fuck you up at the end because you'll have spent your life screaming in the prison of your own mind.

There's no real victory to be had here, you compromise and suffer for it, or you don't and you suffer for it. You heard that phrase "pick your poison"? It goes for what kind of life you want to live.

If you got a decent job I suggest learning how to invest so you can have passive income. that shit solves a ton of problems. was able to buy an apartment and rent that shit.

You're going to move forward in life whether you want to or not. Things will inevitably change and you'll likely reach a point where you find yourself grieving your past self and the life you used to live.
Don't lament it too much. Just deal with the despair when it comes and hopefully you'll be strong enough to adapt to it.
Most of the time, things don't end up being as bad as we imagine in our heads.

I agree on seeing athletes, knowing how young they are, and getting discouraged from that. Especially when you're in your 20s and see others in their 20s in pro sports, so that period was rough. I still love watching sports though, so I haven't given up on that at all.

As far as video games though, Starfield is basically my swan song game. I really do love this game and it's likely going to be the last current generation I buy for a very long while. There's not really anything I'm looking forward to and now that Nintendo is basically finished being the innovator company, I have almost no interest in current generation gaming. Although Rhythm Heaven Fever is going to basically be my "OVA".

37 year old boomer here, I'm pretty happy. It's not a life that many would consider traditionally fulfilling and happy, I have no kids, no gf, no friends in the vicinity of my place, work a pretty soulcrushing job, but I stay positive and enjoy the little things in life. A big reason I think is because I've never been on any pharmaceutical drugs long term, and never took an SSRI in my life.

The older you get, the more you realize that this is all there is to life, and that the true meaning of it is the eternal seek of ephemeral happiness.

Only those willing to grind at the happiness mine and endure the hardships that it conveys will live long enough to see their body slowly decay until the pain overrides all traces of happiness, and they will all be lost in time, like tears in rain.

>>714713326
I binged it for a week. My form of autism was refusing to go beyond 300 population. At first it was difficult but the game scales a lot of the difficult via population so once I got my military economy going with a lot of tribute it actually made the game extremely easy.

I'm 36 years old. Work in retail, own a house, land, and multiple vehicles, also have passive income. No family, no kids. I'm doing alright but I think about suicide a lot. Currently playing Total Annihilation and Syberia, but I'm not really grinding either. I just play them when /v/ is slow or I can't find a youtube video to watch.

Its not as easy as it was a few years ago where being part of the first generation(s) that grew up with computers made programming second nature among colleagues that actually had to learn to do it, but I'm not sure if anything out there has replaced it as the most accessible, high pay occupancy.

>>714712516
I worked a shitty job for 2 years and it changed nothing. I had the opportunity to make a friend there but I pushed the guy away because I was scared he'd start asking personal questions and having to tell him about my non-life.

>>714711324
It's the "preperation time", anon. You most likely needed it back in school too. Regardless whether you've concentrated for hours on work or school, you need to mentally regenerate for a bit, before concentrating on something else (most good video games are heavy on your concentration). The problem now is, that you aren't done with the day early after and ready to play 2 hours later, you're done with the day just 4 hours before heading to bed. So there's AT BEST 2 hours of real free time there. And, at least from my perspective, that's such a short time frame, that it's hard to really immerse into a game. You almost anticipate being taken out of it prematurely, if you start at all. So you don't start.

OLED technology is a good example. I've read about it in the 90s! The articles where raving about paperthin displays with practically zero energy consumption. So what would be the most scifi application? Huge OLED wallpapers of course. We now have 2025. Since a few years the technology is barely good enough to be used in large monitors instead of just handheld-displays. But just 'better' monitors doesn't scream FUTURE for me in the slightest.

30, currently playing Breath of the wild for the first time on switch 2. I started to like it after 30 hours of playtime when I finally discovered you can enhance armor (and paint them) so all the shit I'm picking up is not worthless. I did a all nighter fighting some half horse niggers in the desert and found a giant horse, was kinda epic ngl. Hated the game till then because the game has like 3 different enemies.
As for my life I'm learning mandarin and will leave to China in a few years. Already have gf secured there from a previous trip but she's kinda ugly, I guess I could land hotter chicks if I speak the language and arrive with extra wealth

>>714712351
I've been "depressed" since I was 14 or arguably 11. When I was 11 I realized I didn't have the capacity to truly connect with other people, and I determined I would never make a "real friend" because I can't emphasize with others. When I was 14 I decided I'll give myself until 25 to see if I might learn the secret to enjoying life, and if not I'd kill myself. A few months before turning 25 I realized my time was coming up, that I never learned what I meant to find out, and that I was in a worse place than I took for granted at 14, since I at least assumed I'd have a real career and my own place, instead of living with my parents and working as a gofer at a law firm. So I pussed out of suicide by coping that "I can't kill myself because I was never alive in the first place."
I don't have many tangible problems like I see people mope about in these threads, like being abused or raised by alcoholics or whatever. I just don't enjoy a lot of things and I don't understand how other people do.
Anyway, video games.

>>714714524
X4 doesn't count. It's another no-planet game. Might as well make an ocean exploration game and never go below the surface. It's all about ships, ships and more ships. Right there with Freelancer, Underspace, and Elite Dangerous because Elite's planets are worthless to actually explore.

There's no guarantee that your kids will carry on any of your traditions or culture with them. They might end up strongly independent by the time they're older and will just leave you in the dust.
Considering that you hate kids, it could easily end up going that way.
They could also be born disabled and you'll be the one taking care of them till your dying days with no hope of keeping your bloodline going. You could have multiple kids, but that will just fuck you financially and in terms of stress.

It turned out to be a terrible idea but I'm still familiar with that whole "curiosity" thing. I would think that would help me empathize with them, but it still feels very alien.

Everyone saying its short is a crabbing retard. Fuck them.
Go do something, fail at it, succeed at it, suffer, not suffer, fucking whatever. Anything.
If anything Its too long to waste, and if you waste it then all that shitload of time will be a baggage of shit you didnt do stuck upon your back, that you will then claim was "Too short" as a coping mechanism, while knowing deep inside that it was an eternity of waste.

There's no mention of life too short in this thread im just off my meds while writing this. Take care niggers

I'll never have regrets at the end of my life because every choice i've made or didn't make was already set in stone from the beginning. Free Will is an illusion and the moment you realize this, the happier and less envious of others you'll be.
You don't choose your genetics or who raises you. Even after you're 'consenting age' you're still just a cog in the great machine of cause and effect.

>>714716462
How the fuck does mail work?
I order something from across the ocean and it shows up on my doorstep two days later. Sometimes I think about all the connecting transit that has to occur, and all the sorting at facilities in between and it baffles me the efficiency that must be required.

>>714716401
By the time shit becomes a meme, it means it's reached its peak of being used so much that everyone else has heard it. Just like Boston fags are supposed to say "wicked" and "wicked smart", they don't. No zoomers I've met or observed have ever muttered on God, fr fr, or any of the other shit.

>>714706941
You'll understand when you're 32 and still here.

I've wasted my entire 20s being a depressed shut in neet and have no way to take care of myself now that my parents are dying
Should I just blow my brains out?

There is no way to explain it. You cannot explain excruciating back pain, you can only experience it.
I could tell you a whole bunch of adjectives for pain but you don't have the reference until you've spent 10 minutes on the side of the road lying on your back because while you were driving your back decided to spasm.

>>714716283
I find it odd that they use 'bro' and 'brah' so much. That used to be surfer slang.

You have no idea how clueless you are. It's so funny. We literally live now in Deus Ex universe and everyone is a transhuman but none of you know it yet.

>>714714935
I thought the same but forced myself to socialize a bit and got lucky. That said I don't actually like humans sexually unlike my bf and I believe in monogamy unlike every other faggot in existence, so I expect it to fall apart at some point and then I'll be back in the same boat as you.

>>714716614
regional warehouses that keep certain amounts of goods in stock to ensure you can get your dragon dildos next day, but the logistics chain to keep that stock flowing to that warehouse is backed up sometimes for months

I think you need to be indocronated early into the wageslave lifestyle to tolerate it, if you spend a significant chunk of your youth as a neet I legitimately believe its over. I don't think people do a 180 from that and can suddenly just handle a full time job forever like the rest of society.

>>714716651
nah, basically just start from square one, I had to do that a few years ago. Got a job at walmart, busted ass, got a second job at Taco Bell. Next year, two days off a week, applied to school, did all my school work on those days off while maintaining the job. Still have this schedule. Basically your life is gonna be shitty for awhile. Maybe forever.

>>714716801
Interesting, how long does it usually take between an item arriving and then being sent on its next leg? How many legs does an international delivery usually take? How many legs does it usually take when its being shipped from one of these regional warehouses?

>>714716870
I refuse to ever go to school again

>>714706941
See what happens is from 25-40 time accelerates at a pace you wouldn't believe. I was here from 2007-2010, left and had a bit of a wild life then reverted to mongoloid hermit and am still here as a 40yr old.

>>714716651
Many such cases. When it happens, you're going to experience the truest form of despair and hopelessness. If you can make it through though, you'll evolve and do what you need to do to survive.

>>714716651
You can try, but you wont do it anyway.
I know your kind, you'll just pussy out at the very end. You will just continue on to suffer through life until organ failure kicks in and finally gives you that sweet, but painful and very long release of death, or someone intervenes to do it for you.

Every time, always the same outcome.

Small-time warehouse fag here. We send stuff out to the mailing center daily, they work 24 hours a day and until last year/doing the coof, anything nearby was next day. Am leaf so rule of thumb was one day per province assuming they lived close to a city.

Just get an entry level and play vidya.

>>714717075
entry jobs are full of boomers and immigrants that don't want to leave and other jobs require disability check so they could get some tax cut or some shit

>>714717075
Entry level what? I'm not an Indian who gets his job subsidized by my taxes and gets free housing and food on top of it. I don't have an uncle in the ruling political party, so how am I supposed to get entry level anything?

>>714717054
How many trucks would you send out per day? How early in the day would you need to receive an item or order to be able to ship it out to arrive the following day?

>>714717075
I have no idea how to even apply for a job

>>714716651
I've been there. Your identity will be taken from you. You will grieve who you used to be.

>>714716791
I sucked a dick once, this was 10 years ago now because I quit porn and fapping and it drove me over the edge to try it. I hated the fact that he was a stranger, I hated interacting with him felt sad and creepy. I liked the part where I got to play with his dick but every other part of the experience was negative. So I never tried it again, and I probably never will.

>>714717253
You don't lmfao.

I'm drunk and I wish I had an alcohjoloic gf to have sloppy drunk sex and my dick will get out of her accidentaly like all the time because we are too drunk to coordinate

Anyone follow any gaming channels? I get basically all my news from here, but there's rarely anything going on in the industry in the first place. When something DOES happen it's talked about for the rest of the week anyway and likely through to the following week. Also threads aren't as fun as they used to be so constantly F5ing isn't doing it for me like it did in the past.

I need to do better with being online as much so the plan is to just see if anything pops up in YouTube subscriptions and then come here to get more information. Any suggestions?

I'm 29 can I join you guys?

>>714717253
Just fill out the application. On some of the lower tier jobs they have a place for references, but I've been told that nobody looks at it, so just make shit up.

Can you guys do ONE THREAD without crying about existential dread? There's boards designed for you to cry about it ffs. Also your back hurts because you are a skinny faggot, do some sit ups.

>>714717365

2 a day but item wise it depends. We can get simple items rushed out at a moments notice but if you order a fuck ton of shit, it better be ordered the day prior to you expecting us to work on it.

>>714716841
When you lose your neetbux or your parents croak, when you have no other option anymore but to get a job, you will tolerate it because your only other choice will be homelessness. Maybe you’ll try living on the streets for a week but the elements will be enough. You are a neet because someone is allowing you to be a neet, whether that’s a judge or a family member. When you are no longer supported by someone else’s income you will be forced to accept that shitty wage job until you die. It is simply the fate of humans in modern civilization.

>>714717376
What application? Where do you apply for anything??

>>714717009
What, the space between man-made POIs? A black featureless area with the only significant shit being ships going at it? To see planets and star clouds and be happy you don't get to explore them? Might as well take the islands out of Sea of Thieves or have Subnautica take place on the surface. Sick of the hyper focus on ships and only ships. Tired of videos talking about 20 amazing upcoming space games and it's just more ship games. No significant amount of planets or asteroids or moons to explore it just doesn't count.

Why were the original oldfags, who I assume are in their 40's now, able to leave 4chan so easily but us 30 year olds are still here?

my recommendation is finding a career you can tolerate and sticking to it ASAP

there is nothing worse than being broke as fuck and making minimum wage while being over 30.

>>714717526
my parents never put a single cent into retirement and instead of being millionaires they're now cancer ridden and can't pay for medications or food without credit cards

how many of your parents were histrionic boomers that never pushed you guys to do anything but when you did try there was a family wide meltdown over it

>>714717413
Oh, well then maybe being free from their influence on your life might be a good thing. You have a better chance of being happier without them, even without their financial assistance.

>>714717597
my dad just yelled at me for mopping the kitchen floor the other day
I can't wait until the cancer fucking takes him and I'm finally free

>>714717583
Oh, we'll leave eventually. After the hack when 4chan went down I definitely saw the light. I already go through long periods of time where I don't check /v/. People say you're here forever but that's just a meme.

Goofy ahh unc containment thread on god

>>714717436
Interesting. How do you deal with unusual locations? I live on an island, most places don't deliver to me but we do have a private courier service that gets contracted out to occasionally. Do you ever get orders where its kind of like "uh we can't get there" and what do you do with them?

>>714717376
Here's how this works in my country: 70% of the job postings are fake because they get money from the government to "hire" people (that they don't need and won't actually hire, so they get subsidies for being "understaffed"). 10% of them are just a formality because they're hiring the owner's friend's nephew, so they have to justify it somehow and they tailor the qualifications to exactly what he has. 20% of them are jobs where you will never get paid because you're first either required to do an "internship" or they just accept you and promise pay and don't pay and then fire you and hire another idiot when you start complaining.

>>714716638
Thankfully it means they're responsive to bullying.

>>714716926
depends on a ton of variables,. supply chain management is a crazy thing. those big container ships used in transpacific shipping usually take 25-30 days to cross the ocean from china to the west coast of america. If you need a rush order it can be sent usually by air freight but even then it can be 4-6 days due to things like customs and multiple shipping companies and overland freight being held up by traffic or bad whether.

I'm only 29, I'll be back in 4 months.

Dude I would fucking tolerate it now if I could get something that gives me a normal life somehow. I live in a fucking 10sqm room do you think I'm fucking happy retard.

>>714717709
Yeah I always assume international shipping takes a long time because of that, but its rarely the case. I guessed parcels were mostly air frieghted and cargo ships are mostly just for bulky stuff like cars and manufacturing materials.

>>714716841
I was able to 180 but it was incredibly difficult, harder than quitting cigarettes, I was on the edge of quitting for the first 4-5 months. After that it became doable. Thankfully my job has a lot of a cute women in it so I was able to stick to it because seeing a cute face every day was motivating.

I never thought I'd see the day I had a backlog. I used to make fun of you guys for it, and here I am. I should be excited! 38 unplayed games ready to be enjoyed. I definitely have the time to play them, my job is a literal walk in the park, for fuck sake. I haven't even played the Ninja Gaiden Ragebound demo yet. Is what I'm experiencing some repressed fear that maybe what I bought wasn't worth the money I spent and I don't want to find out? It's so bizarre.

I'm gonna list the unplayed titles, feel free to tell me what game I should play first, if you've even heard of them.

>Astrolancer, Blazing Chrome, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, Bot Vice, Bullet Garden, Bytepath, Ex-Zodiac
>Fallen Leaf, Felvidek, G Warrior, Garbanzo Quest, Gunbrella, La-Mulana 2, Lords of Exile, Lost Ruins, Lunistice
>The Messenger, Mirage Feathers, Nidus, Nuclear Throne, Pharaoh Rebirth, Powernaut Decay, Savage Ascent Remix
>Shinobi non Grata, Space Cat, Spirits Abyss, Steel Assault, Super Alloy Rangers, Unsighted, Unworthy, Vacant Kingdom
>Vengeful Guardian Moonrider, Veritus, Vividlope, Voidrun

>>714717583
If you experienced internet that early you had better chances to make it. It's fact. Economically and socially.

>>714717685

This also happened to me and they didn't leave me shit and I had to spend more than a decade caring for them.

LIKE FUCKING WHAT

>>714717597
Mine couldn't really figure out a way to push me to do anything effectively. My graduation present for finishing my completely useless bachelors was therapy. The only way they were able to motivate me was basically kicking me out of the house and leaving the state.

>>714717583
They're either still here but too ashamed to admit it or they're dead from either killing themselves or cancer from microplastics.

>>714717659
Yet here you are, once again, if the hack showed me anything is that 4chan, as shit as it might be, is the BEST place on the internet to have a genuine discussion.

>>714717809
nah. gen x was just the last generation to experience the good times in their adulthood. elder millennials might have had it easier but everyone younger has just eaten shit mostly.

>>714717681
Usually that's Canpar's problem. Canada post for obscure locations.

>>714717783
it's a wonder mass international shipping works at all. before the coof even car parts were using just in time shipping to ensure manufacturing plants in america had the parts they needed WHEN they needed them so they didn't need to worry about having a whole bunch of car parts just sitting in a warehouse waiting to be put together

>>714717810
To add to that, I only described jobs that you don't need to be a brown immigrant to get (they get those directly through agencies working with their home countries, so they don't really appear on listings anyway - agencies which are of course owned by our local political mafia and their families). That's pretty much every job that you can do with no qualifications or various certs and licenses, nothing that requires a PhD or whatever. So I'm permanently locked out of, you know, normal lower/middle class jobs.

>>714717654
My mom is neurotic like this too. Can't do anything that will help me grow or evolve as a person without her having a panic attack.

>>714717942
Yeah it sounds obvious. But I mean like look in places you wouldn't normally even think of having a career in. Everybody and their dog wants a stay at home sit on your balls tech job but that is just probably not gonna happen for most people, and if it does, you might be waiting literal months to years before that opportunity shows up. That destroys your mental no matter who you are.

I said fuck it and started working in ABA and make 90k after 2 years of learning, training, and passing my exam. I literally NEVER thought I'd work with kids but it is tolerable and kinda easy.

>>714717809
The only people from my generation who "made it" were either those who inherited rental properties from family, or those who were drug addicts so they had some bitcoin lying around somewhere.

What the fuck

every thread like this just turns into oppression olympics or humblebragging from people who lucked out career wise. how does anyone who's an actual regular fuckup without a tragic abusive hollywood past enjoy these threads. seriously. what is the point.

how do I get a job working with animals
I can't stand interacting with non autistic human beings

>>714718314

you ever see those news reports of mentally disabled people getting turned into swiss cheese by the cops? my job is to make sure that doesn't happen to them by teaching them how to cope and appropriately respond to shit.

>>714718385
I got to ask anons about international logistics.

>>714717583
They broke free from /v/ and just moved to a different board or use X now. I could never use social media after being forced to try it after the Chicken Jockey, but I have a feeling most just moved there since having kids doesn't stop anyone from coming here. Personally, I'm just not showing up as much because threads I make always drop off the page with no replies most of the time and it's just not as fun as it used to be.

>>714718242
>But I mean like look in places you wouldn't normally even think of having a career in.
And those are...?

As I've already said I'm not from a rich country where they give ridiculous amounts of money to everyone who's above 85IQ because they can actually put a square peg into a square hole, so whatever you'll suggest probably pays $500/month here or it's done by Indians. I need something that I can do internationally or that will enable me to move to a normal country.

>>714717921
That's only because you've never been forced to. You'll only realize how capable you actually are when you have no other option to survive.

>>714706941
I need to get isekai'd the fuck out of this world or I will be here until I die of a stroke when I'm 50. There's no escape.

>Must be nice to live in a rich country where they actually need people to do something useful.

So yeah you're getting free money and housing and food forever, what are you fucking complaining about? And when your parents die, you'll have a million dollar house so you can live like a king in the Phillipines for 25 years until you die.

Oh I played Astlibra, put 80 hours into it, beat the whole game on hard mode. Rarely has it ever felt so rewarding to beat a boss.

Alright, that settles it. Nuclear Throne is first! I hope it's as good as Star of Providence. If you haven't played that one I can't recommend it enough, it's such a different take on a shooter and the room based exploration's fun.

>>714718749
Ok how do I get a job like that in a country that pays well for it and you don't have to have serious connections to get it?

>>714718737
either get them to put their assets in a living trust where the people they want to give their shit to are listed as directors or have them sell off everything now to pay for funeral and estate taxes

and how do you teach them that?

The dream job

Taking a break from persona 3 today. Shits so long and so mid, I don't really get why the series is as popular as it is. Probably doesn't help I'm playing this just shortly after beating E33 which is the best turn based game likely of all time. I mich prefer the super Mario RPG active turn based combat to the literal menu clicking simulator.

But working on DMC 2, so far after beating DMC 1 I don't understand how/why anyone hates this game. Gameplay wise it's a massive improvement

Any Austin is great and non-cynical comfy videos. But not centered in on news or the industry, they're just fun videos about various games.
Kyle Bosman's "Delayed Input" is enjoyable.

If you strictly want news podcasts are probably better, like the ex-giantbomb crew nextlander, or jeff gerstmann.

>>714718575
If you want to make like 30-35$/hr fastest.

Apply to a clinic, they will train you and get your prepared to take your test to become an RBT (the test is easy as fuck I've never heard anyone fail it). Quit the company and work for in-home services because they pay significantly better and you essentially get to pick your own work hours because people are desperate for services.

Now if you want to become a BCBA and make more money I'd suggest you stay at the clinic. But if you just want something with fast growth to making decent tier money with almost no investment than do the first thing I said.

basically by reinforcing good behavior and ignoring or punishing bad behaviors. if they ask for the cookie instead of ripping it from your hands and freaking out then they get two cookies for doing something good. basic description but that is essentially the idea. Reinforce that enough times and the autist will remember this and apply it to other situations.

>>714718737
I mean, the house still has equity right? You can still make back some decent money which will give you a nice cushion when you end up having to rent somewhere.

>>714719049
Best part is there is almost no men in the field so you are highly valued and even requested for by parents (single moms that want their son to have a male role model), and you are surrounded by actually gorgeous chicks.

My cousin does this exact job but he has his own private practice he runs out of his home and makes a fuck load because he bills insurance directly. for like over $700 bucks a day for a single kid getting 8 hours of service. Every single day just about. I could never be around an autist for that long, he says it can be very draining back when he was an RBT but apparently when you become a BCBA you barely work with the kids at that point.

I finally said enough and said he clearly hates me and I wont be yelled at anymore. I was preparing to live in my car for ~10 months until I can make into the military. But my friend's parents let me stay with them. Its the very last safety net I have before living in my car.

As for video games Im playing Stellar Blade.

fellow RBT here and god damn are yoga pants a problem at my clinic. I can pretty much see hole when these ladies bend over and shit.

None of you feel real, I think everyone in this board are just sock puppets that the government is using to distract me.

Killing myself soon

>>714719486
yep.

I work seasonally. I spend most of my time at work playing video games and watching movies while I babysit the equipment. Starlink has been a godsend.

Equity is the difference between how much your parents have paid into the house and what's left on the mortgage. If you end up having to give the house back to the bank, you'll still get back a good portion of the money your parents already put in.

>>714719727
of course you can see their hole when they're shitting you retard

>>714719848
cheers.
also noclip has a lot of good documentaries on games and gaming, I recommend their stuff too. They also did the documentaries for Half Life and Half Life 2, both very enjoyable.

>>714718429
Anon. I’m unironically looking into doing this. I’m in Cali and they seem to constantly be hiring. The starting pay is like 28 an hour for entry level tier. I really enjoy kids, and I’m considering it. I’ve worked sales mostly all my life, but I cannot stand the type of coworkers and the environment, everyone is extremely narcisstic and insecure as all fuck. I’ve had about 5 jobs where I come in as the new guy, start outperforming everyone sales wise, and suddenly everyone just passive aggressively lashes out and makes copium tier excuses for why I consistently outperform them for no reason, regardless of whether I’m respectful or not. I wanted to do something with more value to me personally. Do you like the work or was it just a job, and you just stayed with it?

>>714719812

I turn 25 this month and already feel old, does it only get worse?

>>714717070
Speak for yourself anon. You are mentally unwell.

>>714706941
You should kill yourself now.

>>714719925
I'm not leaving my fucking childhood home

>>714720147
No, once you turn 30 you will reach a state of mental clearness on which you will magically accept your existence.

>>714704425 (OP)
I started Expedition 33 and got hooked, played like 6 hours straight on a Saturday. Went on a trip during the week and played another like 6 or 7 hours the following Saturday, I finished the first act and was like "DAMN, I really like this, I want to see what happens next"
I haven't touched it again since, it's been almost two months.
Why am I like this? It sucks, I can't even bring myself to click play.

>>714719812
have you tried meds?

>>714706941
>Put me in the screencap

>>714714325
39 anon again, yeah it sucks, i've almost given up but i'm taking a trip to my home country to potentially geomax to find my 27-30 yo waifu, otherwise i'm not marrying a walled hog or single mom in her 30s, my last 3 dates have been with single moms, good news is that they are eager to have sex

How do I make myself be productive
Every day I just wake up and lie in bed hating myself until I pass out
I've been doing this for 10 years
I can't make myself do anything at all

>>714716554
I agree with this anon
>muh kids
grow up.

22 zoomGOD here, the only modern games i play are multiplayer ones, all the good songle player games came out decades ago

I have 50 grand in cash
How do I become rich?

>>714720128
I did not ever see myself working with kids let alone autistic ones but I do gotta say after almost 3 years now doing this job I enjoy it. Now there are gonna be some days where it sucks but the good days completely overshadow them. Seeing a kid that couldn't even speak progress into saying full sentences like "I love you mom." really is a good feelin'.

If you choose this path you are probably going to be working mostly with women, it is a female dominated field but that honestly isn't a bad thing. Everyone doing this job is pretty caring and empathetic. No backstabbing can even be done really because there are just so few techs and BCBAs to serve the community. Companies are hungry as fuck to hire people all the time.

>>714720387
Not gonna take your mind control pills.

wait for Elon Musk to say something retarded in Xitter and then invest it all in dogecoin

>>714716614
constantly. mail never gets a day off. i think amazon is doing prime day again next week which will send the whole industry into a death spiral.

>>714720328
ive heard several people say this in my life, but everywhere i look people 30 or older still complain about life and existence.

>>714716478
>mfw came raw in my onahole 10 times this morning and it didn't nag once
I'm literally having better and more sex than normalfags with 1000000 times less effort
why does anyone bother with real sex?

>>714720643
You can still complain after you hit 30, life IS pretty shit sometimes, you just learn to accept it.

The moment I start making six figures I will be genuinely happy. No one is happy making 34k a year, it is impossible.

>>714720147
It depends solely on what you make of it. You hit a crossroads where to either appreciate the decisions you’ve made, learn from them, and keep working on yourself, even if you’re a loser, or you just become bitter and jaded, successful or not. I’m in the former, I focused too much on wanting to be a normalfag and prioritized girls and sex too much, I achieved it, and in the 30s portion of my life, I’m just now making good money and finding my footing professionally. I hit a quarter life crisis early on where I felt like a loser who wasted his youth on a bunch of meaningless vain shit because I was so insecure about being a shit in wow nerd. However, I came out of it, and now have a mental clarity I never had before, and just am okay with stuff going how it’s going and feel peaceful as I work towards my goals.

>>714720540
can I do this job if I'm also an autist?

>>714720772
Pretty much yea.

>>714720284
WHEN THEY YOU BETTER START MAKING MONEY FOR THOSE MORTGAGE/INSURANCE/UTLIITY PAYMENTS.
Losing your identity is always hard, but life can be cruel like that.

How do I cope with my parents genuinely ruining my life and turning me into a worthless dependent who doesn't even get help from anyone because they never got my problems diagnosed?

>>714706941
You're here forever.

>>714720874
no
I've been taken care of my entire life why do I all of a sudden have to learn how to do everything with no help????

>>714720908
Confronting them with your grievances is a good start I guess.

>>714718429
>>714719642
what the fuck kind of insurance scam is this?

>>714720908
>ITS MY PARENTS FAULT THAT IM A FAILURE!!!!
man up

>>714706520
Happy to hear, anon. Keep enjoying life!

>>714718737
keep stalling and doing nothing. it will all work out.

>>714721087
it LITERALLY is
instead of helping me out when I clearly needed more accommodations than normal people they just hit me and yelled at me and drank and stabbed each other and wasted all of their money so now they're dying and have no way to care for themselves or pay someone to do it and I can't do it and they have no safety net for me and I have never had a genuine loving relationship with ANYONE EVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE

>>714708219
I think it's because modern games are meant to maximize playtime instead of fun.

>>714721079
Its called healthcare, the entire thing is one big scam.

>>714720982
It's not your fault. Your parents didn't push you when they should have. The banks aren't you to accept your sob story though. If you're gonna be forced out you'll at least get money from the equity.

>>714705804
Very funny, faggot.

35 y/o here, why are boomers so insufferable?
I honestly hope I don't end up becoming like them

>>714721328
I don't even know how to find a place to live
I don't have a job
I don't have a car or a license
I don't have a college degree
I don't have ANYTHING

>>714711527
No, Jonathan Swift. We're not giving into your inverse-modest proposal idea.

>>714720643
It depends on how many hardships life has thrown at you. Having regrets in particular can haunt you till your final days.

>>714720128
I am also an RBT and yea you can start making way better wages than most other jobs after like 3-5 months. I was getting offers for $33 an hour. Now I will tell you that obviously you are gonna be working with families with different dynamics and some with severely autistic kids. I've worked with a family that had the dad troon out and become a woman. I've be punched and bitten but that doesn't really hurt because I only work with babies/toddlers.

>>714721264
This is why anti-natalism exists. Bringing a child into this world is a cruel thing, especially if you have no interest in helping them thrive.

>>714721320
damn, imagine having 3-4 autists and just making super bank...maybe it's time I career change.

>>714720540
Based. I appreciate the insight, anon. I’m gonna reach back out to the hiring manager. I’ve been gut checking it for a few days and logically just deciding if it’s the path I wanna go down, but I’m gonna do it.

>>714721478
you have the internet so learn how to do some shit or not and wallow in shit. It's your life

>hated AI shit and railed against it for years
>one day out of sheer boredom actually watch one of the goofy AI Presidents play dogshit games videos
>find myself actually chuckling to it a few times
>get addicted and now all I watch is this shit because it reminds me of the time when I played dumb games with my friends before they all got married to women they hate and have nothing in common with and turned their backs on videogames forever

I don't know where to go from here. I don't like what I've become but I can see no other path forward. The modern internet and world in general is just too faggy for my liking.

30 year old here. been playing Rogue FP alot recently, and it's a pretty fun remake of Rogue. i couldnt get into the original because it felt too overwhelming with the amount of keys it uses for different things, but FP is exactly what i want. old school feeling first person dungeon crawler thats easy to understand.

>>714720284
I just had to do that myself
spent 25 years there and they're gonna tear it all down, pretty brutal stuff desu

>>714721478
Starting from square one is scary and hard, but doable. The hard part is the transition from you now to you then. It's like a rake across your soul.

>>714721079
damn that is a lot of skrilla

>>714721684
Giving up on the past and focusing on what makes you happy now, while not being retarded and keeping money in mind is the key to a happy life.

>>714721478
>literally years bitching about the same shit and STILL hasnt tried

damn bro. i'd tell you to make a noose but you'd complain that rope is too hard to get.

This Grok shit pretty much settles it: In the future some people won't have friends, they will just chat with an AI all day for their social needs.

>>714717583
different boards have different demographics. /tv/ feels much older, for example.

>>714722168
>>714722002
call me a cynic but after seeing how deranged and assholey people have become post social media and covid I welcome AI instead, a computer is a better companion than the deranged nightmare creatures normalfags have become

It's rare to find a thread on /v/ that actually feels sincere and free of irony. This was nice.

I now spend most the time I used to spend gaming on genning porn
It's been more fun

>>714717583
I think you slowly do fizzle out or frequent other boards. /v/ is primarily all zoomers now and it’s very noticeable. I go to /tv/ and /lit/ more now, but even then I don’t check this site as much as I did in my mid 20s.

>>714722002
My friend is therapist who specializes in people with AI induced psychosis, or something like that. Basically only deals with clients that have gone off the deep end due to AI use. It's pretty rad.

>>714717994
This was my realization as well. 4chan is a shadow of what is used to be, but the entire rest of the internet is MUCH worse. I tried going on Twitter for the first time during the outage and the sheer degree of venom and passive aggressiveness being spewed out by the ugliest people I've ever seen is unreal. The worst users of 4chan are angels compared to how fucked up and vicious people have become.

>>714722502
>>714722002
Sometimes I think I’m taking crazy pills with how much people downplay the effect of the internet going mainstream and the effect social media has had on the way people interact with and in society. It’s like nobody remembers the pre patriotic act internet.

really loved e33, only game i completed this year besides the new doom. what else do i play now is the real question.

>>714704425 (OP)
I've been enjoying playing a lot of older games, especially with how cheap they are compared to new ones. They have a lot more "SOVL" than modern day stuff, and it made me realize that there's still a lot of good in the world of games, it's just that this industry is in a current unfortunate state with the big-budget games.

>>714721684
>because it reminds me of the time when I played dumb games with my friends before they all got married to women they hate and have nothing in common with and turned their backs on videogames forever

I played 2 and a half hours of Doom TDA and never touched it again. Worst Doom game ever made.

>>714723186
i have been eyeing mass effect it's been a minute

>>714723381
not my favorite of the nu-dooms but it was still very enjoyable

good characters and fun relationships too

>>714721674

That's not the problem moron, the problem is getting money for it.

>>714717475
Quit playing "realistic" space games and start playing good space games like Freelancer, dumbass.

>>714708701
The worlds interesting but the writing beyond that is kind of terrible, especially for your characters dialogue options. Way too many Fallout 4 Sarcasm lines or general millenial-esk isms that don't really let you roleplay any sort of deeper character except being the inquisitive player character. That's really what killed it for me the most, treating it like a sandbox only went so far when I couldn't get immersed in what was going on.

>>714717583
so many people are obviously 40+ they just don't get called out because kids don't even get the references they make.

I'm sad that poopsocking is completely dead as a term.

Does it ever occur to you guys that we're pioneers? No past generations of humans have ever aged with the internet. We've still yet to reach a point where the majority of the elderly have spent the majority of their lives online. That's what we're going to be though. We're the prototypes experiencing something no other generation ever has, but everyone who comes after us will. Kinda neat.

>>714724751
There's no guarantee that the internet will still exist as we know it 100 years from now. Even then though, I agree that our shared experience is unique.
