    i'm pretty bad at motivation to change my current financial situation. You know, the whole hustle culture and everything? Get more money, better your position, etc, that kind of shit.

    Like I am completely content in whatever kind of shit is thrown at me and don't feel any need to "better" it, as long I have a comfortable bed and food. I really am just a beast that wears pants.

    The only thing that has made me "progress" through life is partners, and wanting better for them. So I've made career changes for their benefit but if it was just me I could really be the embodiment of that meme of a picture of a lone chair and tv/gaming console inside an empty ass apartment that says "dudes will live like this and see nothing wrong"

    dudes rock

    Pretty good litmus test tbh. Anything more than "I guess it'd be cool to see the earth from orbit but that's about it" usually turns into this weird space eugenics type shit.

    Unless your answer is "it'd be cool to live in that anarchist space station/meteor wreckage thing from that one episode of cowboy bebop where they meet that chess master" then going to space is cool

    I worked at a target distribution center for one shift, which was basically just orientation and being shown around the giant warehouse. Only allowed a 30min lunchbreak during a 12hr shift and it would take at least 5-10mins to walk from your area to the break room and you'd be penalized for leaving your area to use the bathroom.

    After orientation, they told us all to get to work and I excused myself and got in my car and drove home. The promise of $17hr back in '09 was a dream, but I went back to my shitty pizza job that paid $8hr because at least i could steal food and hide in the walk in.

    But yeah, factory work sucks and I salute anybody that does it.

    Do the resident evils after the first three count? I was pretty young when the first game for ps came out back in '96 and it scared the shit out of me. Loved everything about 2 and 3. Even loved the remake of the original for GameCube and code Veronica was...alright?

    I know everyone loves 4 but my opinion at the time was that it was a good game but not a good resident evil game. That's prob my most boomer take but I grew up playing the first 3 so I wasn't a big fan of the action elements of the game.

    Just finished playing the remake of 2 and, I mean it's fine I guess? I liked some things about it but they left so much out. Probably won't play the rest. Yeah, that's my old man take.

    But if we're gonna stick with the main themes of the thread: Parasite Eve. The first game was a masterpiece. The second one is indeed a game.

    Thinking back, the first thing that started my spiral in highschool and eventually snowballed into me dropping out was a mandatory public speaking assignment in a fucking health class during sophomore year. I was a pretty decent student up until then.

    I had really bad social anxiety that no amount of "suck it up and get over it" would have fixed. I wasn't able to confront and remedy it until years later.

    But yeah, forced to give an oral exam in front of a class of 30+, just skipped the entire class, took the F, my grades tanked to the point it was impossible to recover without repeating years and summer school. My mom already barely had enough money as it was, forget going to summer school. So I just dropped out.

    The teacher was completely indifferent when I told her in private and gave me the whole "you either do it or fail" so yeah. A year later I dropped out. Life didn't really turn out much different had I graduated, though so there's that. Maybe I would've struggled less in my 20s, idk.

    Been this way since childhood. Used to get detention/paddled for being late (I'm a child what am I supposed to do drive the car myself at 8 years old?)

    Always late to jobs despite leaving what I perceive to be enough time to get there. A lot of places let me slide since I was a good worker.

    I don't know, at this point in my life I don't think I can change it.

    Punctuality is white supremacy and I will not elaborate.

    Was in the deep, deep south yesterday. The kinda place with like 5k population, no major cities for 2+ hours, no cell signals. Stopped at a gas station to refuel, piss, and get some snacks for the road. Standing in line waiting to pay, and this old woman starts slowly walking towards me. I didn't know what was about to happen but she gets really close to me and smiles and says, "I love your shirt. I do." and then smiles again and nods and I'm trying not to tear up, dawg. I paid for my stuff smiling and then drove away pretty happy.

    I was wearing this shirt

    Idk man, shit is alright sometimes
