PRO-TIP: You don't sign a lease to get a motel room, and your mother can't make you sign anything.
I already KNOW you don't sign a lease for a motel room. I meant signing a lease for a house or apartment.

And I know she can't make me do shit!

And JSYK, if I was slowly morphing into Norman Bates, I'd go to the roof of the tallest building nearby and do a swan dive into sweet death!

And I'm not a robot. I wish I was because then all my problems would be easier to fix and I'd be immortal. But I'll just settle for the day when I'm rich as fuck and can just dump my brain into a designer clone of myself at age 21, but with abs! And by "designer clone of myself at age 21", I mean my clone form would be 21 years old. And by "but with abs", I mean my new clone form would have abs.

I don't mean to be a downer and I'm probably not the best person for advice but if you want to be 'rich as fuck', you need have get your shit together yesterday. The chances of becoming the next Kubrick or likewise is very slim. Every day you spend being bossed around by your mom is another day someone else is getting better. I read earlier that you had a game collection that would help you get to NYC. Why not sell that and tell your mom it's your money? I'm sure it wouldn't ride well with her but sometimes you have to make decisions for yourself.

Why don't you just move out? She clearly needs you more than you need her, and I can assure you that you could find roommates in Orlando just as easily as you could in New York.

Because you enjoy it?

Reason enough for me.
For almost everything, I'd agree. But 40K tournaments are brutal and most people are pretty useless for the next day or so. The last tournament I played in, I loudly declared (with a hoarse voice) that I'd never do another one again. I was tired, hungry, had a terrible headache, and deliriously mind numb.

...That declaration was only two weeks ago. You can imagine the amount of shit I'm going to get!
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

:) : New internet provider is arriving next month, so I can switch from DSL to fiber optic. I've already signed up for a plan that supposedly gives me speeds up to 50mb per second with a monthly cap of 200gb, which if I exceed the speed will drop to 2mb. My current provider gives me a max of 3mb per second for $80 per month, and this new plan gives me faster internet along with cable TV and phone service for $65 per month. Obviously this is a far better deal.

A more important question is what race is the army your fielding?

The answer is Imperial Guard with atleast three Basilisks.

Imperial Guard used to be my main army but they get gibbed way too easily now that everyone in my local meta fields Tau and Eldar. I used to think Ignores Cover was supposed to be a rare ability...

These days I play Sisters of Battle. Not a competitive army by any stretch of the imagination but it makes for fun games because A) Most people have never even seen a complete Sisters army much less played against one and B) Most people have no clue how to play against one.
