The story I hated.

I made my character based around John Coffey from Green Mile, but like he’s the bad ass everyone thinks he is. I knew I wanted to drop INT and CHA for brute strength and constitution. I was ready to do everything possible to dominate the Wastelands… But that intro… Just the character creation…

It’s like, if you weren’t drawn toward making a character bio based around the white nuclear family, you were never going to enjoy the intro at all, and you’d put off the main quest as long as possible to go do all the crazy shit you hit the wastelands for.

“It’s time to find Shaun.”

“But-”

“No. You’ve murdered everything, you’re an absolute beast. You are all that is chaotic-neutral in the wastelands. It’s time to finally start quest 2 of the main quest.”

“But I’m not a family man! He’s not even mine! I only met that bitch at the bar the night before!!”

“Well, that’s not what the game says-”

Y’all have to use ISP provided modems?

I guarantee you that there are things you think are for real that aren’t. So to disregard shared values for sake of a specific one of these things is…interesting. May your ex’s continue with their good fortune.

Haha. I think my bone density is fine, I just ask a lot more of them than normal…

Bones: “This could break us.”

Brain: “Yeah, “could” but won’t. I got you.”

collective being does a thing that will be amazing or moronic depending on outcome in the next few seconds

I’ve broken a lot of bones.

Get him stuff that helps the family so he doesn’t feel useless and guilty. That’s number 1. It’s awful to feel like a burden to everyone, and that doesn’t go away no matter what is said to you.

Second, stretch bands to put around limbs and pull. It feels amazing. You don’t realise how little you move and how little muscle you use while subconsciously “nursing” a broken bone.

Something insanely complex that involves both arms to use or solve. It’s just funny as shit. But also, I swear I recover faster.

That’s how I always thought it. Even if I did get with them, I’d be with someone that doesn’t want me. How miserable for both of us.

Then it’s time to go find someone like that person that does like me. Could be passing them every day and wouldn’t know if I’m still hung up on the impossible.

Sorry. It’s easy for me to say, “Be more positive!” when my feet have never been in your shoes. Sorry if it seemed patronising in any way—its good advice, I’m just bad with choice of words a lot of the time. You seemed to understand my point, though. Perhaps a good (paraphrased) analogy is one I learned in Uganda; don’t use the poisoned well lest it poisons you, lest you poison those that don’t use the well.

And I’d like to remind you that you can do, literally, whatever you want at any time. The only considerations are consequences. You can literally murder the next person you see, in the same way you can just walk off and start your journey. One has consequences of prison lol, but the other… well, who knows?

This mindset has saved my life in hard times. Where everything felt awful. Walking away from it seemed so much more obvious than staying. What’s the worst that could happen? I’m happier? Haha. Yep. Time to just start walking. No plan, no direction, just knowing “I can not do this any more and I won’t be here any more.”

You’ll be surprised how rapidly thing start becoming good when you leave the bad. Don’t doubt yourself. Don’t be in a rut. You’ll never live otherwise.

My Indian friends tell me that Indian people are the most racist people in the world, to other Indians. That’s the biggest problem and why they left. You’re clearly a part of that. A traditional caste system and the usual socioeconomical issues of a large population obviously won’t help. These seem to be the cores of your issues. It’s not your fault, but you shouldn’t participate in that bullshit by saying such things and having such a defeated mindset.

You need to travel. You need to leave.

After you travel, you can self-assess under a more experienced and open perspective. You will likely not want to return, but you will not be hitting the world so jaded and focused on competitive success within society. You will relax, you will get options, you will settle into a comfortable life and in a few years you will complain about the mediocrity of being middle-class instead.

“But I can’t travel.”

Yes you can. You have plenty of skillsets that will earn you more money per hour elsewhere. All the while building up friendships, networks, and experiences. Your only issue is visas which you co-ordinate as you go. For now, much of the western world is very open to Asian immigrants and you’d be foolish to not jump on it while it’s still an option. Target the richer nations with low unemployment rates and you’ll find secure work.

Your main issue will be later when domestic family want part of what you’ve gained. That’s up to you. I have a friend that I found out was giving more than half his income back home because $60K AUD seems huge to people not paying $550 a week in rent. And I’ve also got a friend that, after her father died, threw her middle fingers to family and India vowing to never return.

Your situation is harder to endure than just leaving. But the amount of blame and hate you put on your circumstances makes me wonder if you can even realise that.

But as a white guy with 13 friends from Nepal, India, and Bangladesh, I’d like to think my advice isn’t entirely disregardable, as it’s indirectly from them.

Edit: Ah shit, I forgot that apart from visas your only other issue will be racism. It really depends on the industry and nation, but obviously there will be those anti-immigration even though they don’t realise immigration Is saving their fucking livelihood. Plus, if you talk about India and Indians the way you did In your post, you’ll fit right in with them lol—thats not a good thing long-term, but I guess an odd uptick (???)

Point is, whoever you are, you were born and will die. Go find a place in the world that you’re not miserable in. That’s your current meaning in life.

It’s why I’ve used a GameCube controller on the Wii, WiiU, and Switch—coincidentally I adore the Switch Pro controller on PC. And yet, a friend of mine thinks I’m crazy and still rocks the N64 controller.

Some things just fuse into you and you get more dopamine from the “thing” than the thing playing on it.

But then I’ll miss out on all the life-enriching ads!

Good stuff. Best of luck with the hunt. Hope you find something you like!

Python. Been wanting to learn it for years but all mental capacity I have toward such stuff is drained by work. The whole situation is ironic.

Consider it a blessing and move on. It may not seem that way now, but it probably is.

I’d subscribe just to watch the comment sections.

Correct. Essentially, you are not living anymore but are forced to by law and the desires of those around you who are more focused on their wants than your’s. It’s inhumane to ignore a plea for mercy, and yet that’s what people do.

Overdosing is one of the easier options, but assisted suicide always requires assistance.

Yeah, I use it almost exclusively. Better for the environment, super useful, and always high quality. It’s like the paragon of cooking oils. What it doesn’t do well, it still does at a 7/10. It’s also a lot easier only having to remember the properties of one oil.

Yeah that blew his mind. Then he got invited to game dev conferences and said along the lines of, “It felt weird being there and introducing myself to actual game developers.”

My friend made Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015. He explained it to me and I was like, “who tf showered with their dad growing up!?” Surprisingly the friend group was split in half on that one and it was common.

Anyway, I told him I’d grab it just have it appear in my library, but it’s half fun. I remember unlocking the Inglorious Bathdads mode, thinking he was genius.

I don’t think I’ve mobile gamed without emulators for like 4 or 5 gens of phones now. I was a young man back in those days…
