Like 90% of Internet dwellers I loved video games growing up. Obsessively so. I really appreciate good video game music, aesthetics, and a good story. When i was a kid I jumped on the weeaboo deviant art, photoshop, editing sprites and tried to make my own mini-platform thing. Years later at 25 I listen to video game music at my boring paper pushing job to help me get through the day.
But I was told that video games were for nerds. It wouldn't pay, and I would be a manchild if I kept this shit up past 17.
Now I have a normal job and I hate it, I hate existing without having an outlet into a different reality or world and it gets worse every single day. I tried so hard to be a normie, gymmed, faked a bro persona, slept with girls I couldn't give two shits about to be "alpha" when I really just fucking want to play mega man and make shit in unity or something.
Were my parents and peers right in that video games are just a toxic time sync? Or should I follow my dreams and write a story, start buildjg a programming base, and just in general embrace the inner weeb? I'm becoming depressed and resentful with each passing day.
My ultimate goal one day is to be a creative force behind a game, interactive story or whatever that makes people *feel* something, either with an intense emotional plot, amazing music, a deeper meaning that makes my audience rethink their own worldview or SOMETHING. I want to give to the world the feeling that gave me so much happiness when I was a child so I can inject some beauty into this fucked up world but I'm conflicted that it's just a giant manchild escapism from Real Life

video games are kinda like movies, anyone can make one, but breaking into the industry is rather difficult. only a few really make it in and most get stuck on the middle level, which is enough to make money but you'll never be rich.
if you want to really get into video game production you'd have to go back to school, and a lot of people dont have the means or the will to do that at 25. if you do, more power to you.
that being said, its even easier to create your own video game then it is to create your own movie, cuz your own video game can be done from the comfort of your own home.
i mean even in 3D just look at this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eby7tih2TpM
the problem is a lot of the shortcuts and stock come at a price, you need to invest a little money in order to speed up the process.
but the point im trying to make here is that ANYONE can make a video game, the key to actually finishing is to just start small and get a little bigger with each game you make. but if your parents pushing you into paper pushing jobbery worked then you probably have enough money, especially if you downsize. living in a studio apartment instead of a two bedroom home gives you a lot of extra cash to spend on programs, plugins, and pre-built 3D.
it gets cheaper the more 2D you get. i mean there's rpgmaker sure but theres plenty of other free or cheap engines you can use for a 2D side scroller, the story telling elements become a bit harder in that mode though.
if you're into it, don't quit your job, but start working on an idea for a small game. im talking one level. whether it be 2D side scrolling, 2D rpg, or a 3d exploring game, create just one simple quest and see how it goes. then if you like that, expand that into another quest. then another. slowly build the town starting with one quest.

Yes, video games are a useless time sink.
They trick your brain into producing dopamine by making you think you'e accomplished something meaningful-when, in reality you've just obtained a digital sword or mount that has no monetary value.
It's far healthier to spend your time on hobbies that:
1)help with social skills irl
2)are not addictive
In this regard, playing DnD is healthier than playing WoW.

long story short, i prefer isolation for months on end over socialization with other people my age. I have depression and social anxiety, but i'm probably a sperg as well. all relationships with girls/guys i have always end up falling out.
i have plans with one of my only friends today and i'm not looking forward to it at all. i felt obligated to hang with her since we haven't seen each other in awhile
most 18 year old girls i know can't stand having no plans for more than a couple days. i always go months without plans and don't mind it. why am i like this?

you can do what I did: Get a girlfriend. it does two things, gets you as close as you can to that thing you admire, and it erases the rest of the distance with some reality.
i mean, being a girl sounds like hell. all the social pressures and weird hormones and something constantly leaking out of your pussy. but all the good stuff, as a guy you can lather than shit on and live vicariously :)

So yeah I've tried not fapping at all for extensive periods of time (6+ months) and fapping way too much (4+ times a day for months) and yet I still cum within like 20 seconds. I'm circumcised by the way. Do I have some form of a medical issue or am I just unlucky?

Don't worry about it so much if you're worried about relationships with women.
Most women do not get off on penetration but clitoral stimulation. I would pick a guy who can make me cum with his mouth over a man who can pound me for hours. Educate yourself about female erogenous zones to combat this issue you have. Condoms also help with lasting longer too.

Is being in a relationship really worth it? I've never been in one so I can't really compare it to anything or even get an idea.
What is it like?
I had a dream tonight that I was married, crashed on the couch after a long day of work and my wife came and put a blanket over me. It made me feel sad.

I've never had a girlfriend before either. Sometimes I'll see travel commercials on TV and think how awesome it'd be to travel to exotic places with a QT. But, then I think about if that QT was in my daily life, and it seems bothersome. For example, my bed is my private place. A place where all my problems go away and I can just be by mysel. I can't imagine a girl taking up half of my bed..

Is it normal for your partner to want a kiss every few minutes? My girlfriend does this when were hanging out,it's been 2+ years so it's not any honeymoon thing and I know it's an odd thing to complain about but it does annoy me, I do tell her to slow down with it but it's still at a frequency which gets exasperating.

Tell him Jerome is a fucking gross name and that would be a mistake.
Compromise to make it the middle name or something.

well what do you want to do? it's a name as any other. could be worse, like Cletus or something.
desu you fucked up the moment you agreed to it without finding out what the name was.

Ask him if the child would be happy or socially accepted with such a name in today's time. that should make him ponder for a bit.

I need any advice I can get.
TL;DR - I think my care providers are holding me hostage so they can get as much money from me as they can get.
I've lived in supported accommodation for 2 years and 10 months. 1 year and 5 months into my tenancy I was asked to pay a care service charge to the company that "provides" my care. I don't receive any care from anyone, I do everything on my own and I'm fully capable of looking after myself although I might go to some extremes to do so. I don't like the idea of others doing things for me that I can do already.
For the past 15 months I have tried to get my care plan cancelled so they will stop charging me £82 a week for care I don't receive. My care "providers" are the ones who need to sever my care with them, but they haven't done a thing in 15 months and the charges have piled up to around £5000 and rises each week.
I've tried the best I can to resolve this issue to the point I spent months pretending I had no financial problems so I didn't consider hanging myself. This isn't a cry for help, it's a call for advice on how I can get this matter corrected.
I shouldn't have allowed this to go on for so long, but a lot of the staff and managers kept reassuring me that they were doing everything they could. Old staff and managers would leave, then new ones took their place only months apart and my case would be closed and re-opened, having to repeat my circumstances to a whole new cast of people every time.
I currently have a social worker trying to help lower the charges, but myself, my family and even a large part of the staff believe I should not have to pay a single penny. I put in my claim to cancel my care 15 months ago with the intent to move out on my own. I've been fed lie after lie as if they are trying to keep me here so they can get more money from me.
Is there anything else I can do?

I'm afraid you might have to sue them for a lack of engagement on their side. Try to see if you can talk to a lawyer or if one of your relative might know a contact. If you paid for said services but received nothing for so long you can sue them obviously.
>>
>>18438237
>Is there anything else I can do?
What you really need is legal advice. You shouldn't be asking about this here - even if there are any lawyers browsing /adv/ right now they're probably not licensed to practice in your jurisdiction and aren't specialists in this particular kind of issue. Close your laptop, contact an attorney.
I will say this, though: do not pay them one single penny until this matter is resolved.
>>
>>18438251
>>18438261
I've never paid anything to them. But thank you, I had sort of hoped it wouldn't turn to getting a lawyer/attorney involved

Is it possible to win someone's heart when you live five thousand miles away?
LDRs always ultimately fail. I know. But I want to move to my crushes country shortly after I graduate. It's not because of this person, it's just something I wanted to do even before I got to know them.
I tried dating local people but it's just not working. I don't click with them for some reason and I don't feel like I can trust them. They are lovely and valuable people but I don't feel sexual nor romantic attraction towards them. I'm trying to meet as many new people as I can, mix with different crowds, look for distractions but to no avail because that person from far away is almost always on my mind.
It's been 2 years and we are casual friends who sometimes open up to each other and talk about intimate things. I'm not naive. I know they have a lot of flaws and they aren't perfect, I just like them very much for some reason.
I don't know what to do.

It's hard to win over a person if you don't get to know them first, that and the issue of proximity too. Better worry about winning them after you're close in distance with them.
>>
>>18438503
You are right, but I don't want to wait till I'm actually there. For many reasons. Because what if they get together with someone else? Or they won't even like me enough to meet up? I don't want to hold out my hope for nothing

How do you go about asking someone what their partner count is?
>inb4 'don't care/judge'
I'd literally rather never have sex again than be with someone who fucked hookers or went on tinder/grindr just for flings. Can I assume to just never find someone who hasn't as I approach my 30s? People will definitely lie about this shit too. I don't give a shit about virginity, just not be the type of person to be capable of meaningless sex. Don't care what I'm missing out on.

As for me, I've been single for 3 weeks and have been with less than 10 people, most of them were before I was 20, don't have any diseases or anything.

Her account is under the family's hands now, with police watch. Though she had another account that she used to transfer $30000 to him yesterday. We're barring her from leaving the house now. I want to cut the wifi but there are other people in the house. Might terminate her phone number so the guy can't call or text her soon.

alright man, we can probably help but we need to know, how old are you? you dont need an exact ageb ut you gotta say if you're over 18 or under 18 for the best route to do this.
don't worry mods, never ban anyone unless they post their age in the OP, just dont say your actual age in the post just say whether you're over 18 or under 18

Alright, I posted awhile ago about this and everyone basically just told me to be honest with him, let him know how it makes me feel that he spends so much time and energy on watching porn rather than being intimate with me.
Well, I did. I told him that it made me feel like shit that he watches all these videos of girls pretending to enjoy sex, kinks I'm not into, etc. And he admitted he has a problem, because he was exposed to hardcore porn at such a young age. He was really sad for a few days and kept saying he was thinking about the "guy who ruined his life" all those years ago. He said he would stop. That was about two or three weeks ago? We've talked briefly about it since, but he brought it up right before bed and said that he's been doing really well without it, I said I wanted to talk about it more sometime because I was really tired.
Well, I haven't been checking his downloads since I opened up to him about it. Today I had to use his computer for something though, and accidentally copied and pasted... a porn video he was watching last night. I couldn't resist, and now I found his spankbang account and see all the dumb shit he comments on porn.
I know it's an addiction, and I know it will be hard for him to really quit, but he watched 10 fucking pornos in one day while I was at work. I'm livid. I know I shouldn't let into my anger, but what the fuck should I say? Knowing he's watching this trash (Guardians of the Galaxy porn? REALLY?!) makes me want to... Jesus Christ. He fucking LIED to me and only went a few days without porn, then he was right back to his old ways. I used to check his downloads to see what I could emulate to spice up our sex life, but that was obviously a huge mistake because now I'm pigeonholed in a daddy kink I'm not into. Even he doesn't know why he watches such a large variety of porn, threesomes to interracial to newlyweds to Ghostbuster parodies. I love him but what the FUCK

>>18438147
I'm not insecure about it, it's sapping the life out of our intimacy. I already play along with fantasies I'm not into, calling him daddy turns me OFFFFFFFF. I'd be happy to do anal if he spent half as much time watching "anal whores" and spent that time actually learning my body, working up to new things.
