  • You don’t suck, I mean unless that’s your thing 🤣, but seriously you’re deep in a depressive rut, you will come out of it. I was having a really hard time 3-4 years ago, I wasn’t suicidal but I was really unhappy and felt like shit all the time. Got on some meds, started running, met a woman, got married, got a big promotion, and had a kid since then. I’m in such a better place than I was back then, and I felt like my life had no meaning and I was going to be alone forever. Don’t give up, get help, focus on yourself build good habits, exercise, eating healthy, thinking good thoughts, then worry about external relationships.

    If you like animals try volunteering at a animal shelter.











  • The original Call of Duty was my favorite. I didn’t have a good computer so I played it at a LAN center for a good while. The game also kicked off a domino of events in my friends life when I gave him a CD key for it.

    My friend got pretty good at the game and joined a competitive CAL-M team, and even played at a CPL championship tournament. Well after he graduated college one of the people he played with on the team and he started a company making websites. When he told me what he was doing, I told him just don’t blow too much money on it.

    They ended up pivoting from their original plan of making fitness blog sites, among other niche sites they felt could generate ad revenue to making flash game sites.

    They did moderately well in their endeavors and scored some high ranking search results for a few categories of flash games. They were making hundreds of thousands each and he moved to another to save on income tax. In the new state he met a woman and they ended up getting married, so I was able to draw a direct path from me giving him a CD key for cod to him getting moderately wealthy and finding a wife.

    Unfortunately the last domino hasn’t fallen, and it turned out she was a lieing, money grubbing, cheating whore. Flash games died out but my friend moved on to other things. He is doing great, happily remarried and we both had our first kid within about a month of each other.
