Random Thoughts Thread

a friend of mine from high school recently said something along the lines of "we're in our early 30's now. And if I see the show Friends, I think - that's where I'm supposed to be." Which is fucked up cuz I always thought that I'd have shit "together" at that age too. But y'know what? Watching Friends, it's pretty clear that these people were not early 30's. So fuck that.

I hate that feeling when I realise that I am just as old as the people I used to see as "adults" on tv. Its even worse when they are younger.

TV's bad, but for me what's worse is real life, or worse yet, last generation.

I'm the age my parents were when they had me. Which means I'm a decade older than they were when they got married and had my brother. Meanwhile I've got me an awesome girlfriend, but she's Canadian and has family issues she's taking care of so god only knows when we'll be able to move forward on things like moving in together and marriage.

And then there's the fact that a large percentage of my peers are married, parents, divorced, etc etc.

But hey. Live YOUR life, not anyone else's. I don't want to be divorced, I don't want to be a parent. I'd like to be married, but hey I have a mortgage and a solid job which is more than a lot of the married folk I know can say, so there's that.

I signed up for a VPN service for a full year. Now I do not know why I did that. It sounded like a good idea.

Any tips on how I should use this?

Go to China and browse YouTube.

Or Turkey.

Complaints about mediocre governments aside, it's useful when overseas for buying games online off sites such as Steam or Greenmangaming at US prices.

I thought Steam, like YouTube, does not give different content for people from different regions?

I don't understand how it could get you banned when you would just set up a second account to use as a shill account to only buy games with it. I mean just put the games in the inventory and then gift them to your normal account.

I know it's bannable but I just don't see how they could catch you as long as they get money they don't give a shit, just look at how they treat hackers. Instead of actually doing anything useful to try to stop hacking they just ban accounts so people will rebuy their games and continue to hack rinse repeat.

If you're even halfway aware of the economics of apartments you'd realize that Friends is a bigger fantasy than Shrek.

What is even worse is that the actresses wore fipples, aka fake nipples, underneath their shirts.

Soul crushing.

At an anime & gaming con this weekend I was:
- accused of being a "fake geek guy."
- carded while buying an R-rated movie. I'm 31.
- was called "Atari man" by a group of onlookers as I was the only person playing the Atari consoles while (coincidentally) wearing an Atari t-shirt.
