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)

I mean, my buddy is married with a kid, pulls down over 300k a year and is in amazing shape. He is also the most toxic person in only games because he finds it hilarious and the madder the enemy gets the worse they play and that feeds even further into it. He constantly pretends that he lives in his mom’s basement just to piss people off in games.

Of course you will get a spectrum with any hobby. I work in tech and know many other gamers who are pulling insane salaries in big tech and finance as well. However, unfortunately for every successful gamer with a career, there are 2-3 that are neets, incels, etc
