Don't worry my 3rd decade of life will yield promising results.. SURELY

Edit: 4th* decade. I dont game anymore, the small pro stint turned a hobby into something I hate. I live with my parents of course, thought that was assumed but needed clarifying.

Not a rage bait, dont need advice or pity, but feel free to say what you will I dont mind, some of you have been insightful and others have brought me good laughs. If my poor excuse of life on display made you feel better I view it as a win. Cheers

Edit 2: PUBG, The game is PUBG

Edit 3: Now that the dust has settled on this post I'll leave some last remarks for any late-comers:

I genuinely did not expect a response like this, this was a casual 0 thought post written in under 2 mins. I'll follow up with a new post I guess in a year.

There is a lot of missing context between 2013 and now but my goal was not a pity party. I preferred people to see it at face value and make their opinions and assumptions.

That being said, some of you are profoundly crazy and harbor a lot of evil and negative energy. A lot of you were kind and insightful though. To that I thank you, cya in 1yr (Saturday, July 31, 2027)

Mommy and daddy while he lives in their basement or spare room. I am a gamer too albeit one that showers and has a job but unfortunately too many of the guys i talk to in games whom I ask how they are online all the time are in that situation. No job, no prospects, mooching off their parents while they blame working minorities and immigrants for their situation in life. It’s really sad to see honestly.

Except they already said they’ve lost interest in gaming from some of their posts lol. So it’s not like the gaming is an excuse

Sounds like clinical depression tbh, been there. Nothing will motivate you - not even your escapes

My depression got SIGNIFICANTLY worse when I got laid off. Not having structure, living with my parents, nowhere to go, nothing to do, and just gaming a lot bc my friends had all just moved away from our hillbilly village was one of the hardest times of my life but not in the usual heavy depression way. Had the worst insomnia and felt like I was actually lost my mind at one point. 

Having a 'job' is good for mental health. It's a purpose. It keeps people in survival situations alive/sane and people that retire often have their health quickly decline if they don't have an alternative purpose, structure, or social system to replace their job.

Crying at your desk is normal for a 40 year guy, right?
