I’m just waiting for a better, more permanent jailbreak to use before I jump into that

Hey, I liked my hair too don’t get me wrong. Dating was a lot easier before I shaved my head but I can promise that bald beats combover every time. But the reality is that not having hair does help free you from some vanity and ego too, even if the journey to that contentment can be a bit rough.

You get better about it with time, but yeah, the first six months is a bit more vulnerable. Eventually though you realize no one gives a shit and life gets better. Hell, take a peek at r/bald comments and you’ll see that there are some very vocal female fans of the bald look

Fortunately, the indie scene is still booming. If you went into games because you love it, you still have a fair shot at making something you want and finding an audience.

Yeah seriously, I’m ready advocate so much violence against these “alt-right” neo-Nazis and be a staunch ally to my LGBTQ+ friends but my resume is incomplete until I can cite my presence on the list!

Its been quite fun, the secret has been letting her play as much as she wants and being the backup if there’s a difficulty spike on easy that she struggles with. I feel like I understand my older brothers perspectives on gaming with me growing up a bit more now.

That how I thought until I got a non-gamer girlfriend and have found great joy in sharing the games that brought me joy. She’s slowly transitioning into a bit more of a gamer and we get to play games I always wanted to check out from past ages or revisit old favorites. We’re a little over halfway through Uncharted 3, when we finish that series (new to me as well) we’ll return to Assassins creed, which I loved back in the day.

Correction: I have been playing HackNet! My bad, i misread your post. Clearly we need more names for cool games.

Played it for the first time recently! Unfortunately it seems to have some stability problems, it doesn’t launch saves for me so I’m on hiatus

In fairness, some games serve their purpose and are done. A simulator can run out of upgrades and new functions. Fall guys is live service but you can still play all the maps and be content you’ve had enough.
A game can end, or you can be done with something even if you haven’t completed it and that’s okay. Play to have fun, if you aren’t having fun stop playing it, life is too short to force yourself to keep going when it’s no longer rewarding.

Now this is a truly difficult take to read. I found the game utterly charming. The exploration of relationship between the player, the player character, and the narrator is great fun and well written. Finding all the endings requires cleverness and outside the box thinking. It’s a very British humor type of game but it’s worth every penny.

Man, you mentioning pirates online had a reboot was news to me. I played it for like an hour as a kid and always wondered how good it was. Long story short I mastered fishing yesterday and am enjoying the experience even if it did derail my entire day.

- Comment on Wasted potential. 3 months ago:
I’m just glad to see a man in the process of bettering himself even when easy, cop out, answers are everywhere. You’re doing a hard thing but with that comes the knowledge that you’re doing it right, no shortcuts.
I could say to be a better person for your partner or your son, but honestly most of all be a better man for /you/ because you deserve to know what a fulfilled life is like and feel safe and comfortable in the quiet hours.
The journey may never end, but it definitely does get easier and more enjoyable if you just keep growing from what came before. All the best to you!

Hey man, I’m glad you’re able to have some honest introspection whatever the methods used to get there. Never be apologetic about sharing genuine emotions in a healthy way, life’s too short.
I grew up in an angry household too, I was the primary inheritor of my abusive father’s anger. My father lost his family because he couldn’t control his emotions, and watching that happen is a big part of the reason I mastered my anger after some missteps in my youth.
You’re not wrong in how you describe it, just being angry and letting loose is addictive in a way. I’m grateful I had people supporting me as I learned how to break the cycle, I hope you’ve got a support circle just as strong as mine was.
As for all you’re going through and what your mom is dealing with, I’m sending you a big brotherly hug over the internet, I wish you nothing but the best. If you ever need someone to lend and ear and talk to, please don’t be a stranger and drop me a DM.
