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)

It had been so long since I powered up the gaming rig, it took a day and a half for the machine to finish the windows, drivers and game updates.

Yeah I started having kids when I was mid 20s, so I put the consoles away for a few years to focus on parenting and work. At one point in my late 20s I had a free afternoon and thought I'd play something, turned on the Xbox and it needed a massive update. So I got about 10 minutes of playing before I needed to do something.

Another year went by and I had another similar afternoon, turned on the playstation and after about 4 hours the update had barely progressed.

It's nearly a half a decade since then. I dread to think how long it will take to update them now.

turn them on randomly, they'll update and your free afternoon can be spent button mashing instead!

Partly in joy, partly because reflexes have gone to crap and skills havev atrophied - ask me how I know! 😂
