Occupy your mind with pointless shit so you don't have to think about me. I'm 37 playing games and I'm okay with that.

Try the Other game store nearby. Not the chain one like Dragon's Keep that's really popular, but the one store that's owned by a guy who decided to make it his hobby, but had the good business sense to wait until his forties to run it, do it right, and is populated by him and his friends.

I'm 33. I have a stable job, my bills are paid, and I'm buying a new 3DS in the morning and ordering a 5e Player's Handbook.
Fuck 'em. Bottom of my cold, black heart, fuck 'em. Better rolling dice than yelling at them to get off the lawn, eh?

My recommendation is to get Monster Hunter Generations with that. But you can do as you please of course.

That's the point that's triggeres thism. In my mind I'm still young, hanging out, playing magic with the guys. To them I'm one step away from this pic.

If you really want to go old school with that 3DS pick up Etrian Odyssey.

Stop giving a shit.
Giving a shit is a mistake and will only hurt you in the end. Never give a shit, anon.

Already have a copy of the DMG, so may as well, right?
Also ordered a copy of Cloud Giant's Bargain off eBay, but it arrived with some pretty bad water damage.

Yeah I need to embrace this one.
I was going to go to another boring night club with my partner tonight but god I hate that shit.
Going to go stomp some children at magic instead.

Look at it this way, Anon. You're an adult now. What exactly does that *mean*?
Let me tell you a little something I figured out once I got on the wrong side of 30. Being an adult means that you get to define what being an adult means. Live up to your obligations, sure, but aside from that? You don't have to live up to anyone else's preconceived notions.

Become cool older guy. Let the kids come to you for advice. Tell them stories of the good old days (they don't have to be real).

Wut? It's a free adventure PDF.

17 years can't tell the difference between college freshmen and a 30 y o. They probably thought you were 19 and didnt give a shit.
