the fabled vidya bachelor whose life is on cruise control for cool ....

>>723546360 (OP)

idk what 7 and 9 y/o girls would like to play with men in their thirties

>>723547025
set up roblox on a laptop for them and play whatever bing bing wahoos you like with your friend
it seems like you're making excuses not to make it happen
what sort of friend are you when you demand everyone else to accommodate you, but not vice versa?

>>723547025
you just lock them in a room with the elsa make up game on a tablet with no internet access

>>723547025
Minecraft if they're cool, roblox if they're lame

>>723546360 (OP)
I hate seeing how successful everyone is compared to me

>>723546360 (OP)
Stop drinking then. That's why they don't want to hang out with you.

this image is so painful

My 10 year high school reunion is next year and apart from filtering in and out of uni I've basically done nothing this last decade. I mean even if I were succesful I dont think I'd be the type to go, but it's harrowing realizing I'm just nothing.

Maybe he has a hot daughter and you get a new gf

>>723547982
I've had 5 different school/uni/friend group gatherings and never went to any of them. Not even to my ex-friends graduations. I simply hate these things.

All my dumbshit friends are married and got kids. Now they invite me over just so I can go deaf from the little bastards screaming and shitting themselves and spreading every disease known to man and some yet undiscovered.

>>723547747
for me is painful to see people being passionate about something
meanwhile im struggling to find a reason to wake up in the morning

>>723548327
Whenever I see kids they're always quietly pecking away at a phone or tablet which is probably worse for the future.

What, their eyes will go square? I've heard that dogshit propaganda since a Clinton was in the white house. It's just boomer propaganda.

It's because they're always watching cringe shortform content or playing some shitty pay to win roblox game that tries its best to simulate a dopamine button.

>>723548601
gimme your number I'll call you
I'm gonna say slurs tho

Feel like this needs to be said. I'm a bachelor in their 30's. Got my own place, plenty of money, could probably retire right now if I wanted to. Just because I stilll play games does not mean I want to play games with people, or even really enjoy multiplayer games. I may be aware of them enough to discuss them at work, maybe even enough to go into detail. But that does not mean I want to play them with (you). Me giving you my gamer tag or steam ID does not mean I want to talk to you, or game with you. It was a courtesy. Stop messaging me, stop bothering me. I just want to play my mil sims and 4x slop in peace. Thank you.

>>723548478
It's really not. The short form content and algorithms creating a system of engagment retention are the reason so many people (kids and adults alike) are getting a diminishing attention span. I've seen it happen to family members and friends in real time. You've got to be in a bubble to not see this happening around you, it's scary stuff.

There's been plenty of peer-reviewed studies published showing that a sedentary lifestyle + too much time doing near-sighted activities like reading or using devices increases risks of childhood myopia

>>723549057
Everyone needs glasses eventually, nobody's going to change their lifestyle to delay it by 15 years.

>I've heard that dogshit propaganda since a Clinton was in the white house
and things have just been going great ever since...

>>723549019
What's wrong with not wanting to be bored? Are we putting a 90 minute daily commute in silent agony on a pedestal now?

>>723547025
Get drunk and play monopoly 2v2 against his kids. Bonus objective: Don't tell them you're playing 2v2.

>>723547025
my nephews and nieces keep asking me to play roblox with them
tried telling them about minecraft so I could try to set up a server for all of us, but apparently minecraft is shit and they prefer block craft or something like that

Your eye muscles stiffening due to old age at 50 is not the same as your eyeballs elongating at 12 because of myopia.
People who develop nearsightedness during adolescence are more at risk of developing complications, like cataracts.

>>723549902
Who cares? Surgery can fix cataracts.
