first i'd start by saying that i do apreciate my parents even if they are a bit too rigid and i want to believe they mean no harm and that hopefully i don't have stockholm syndrome.
man i can't really enjoy a lot of vidya or anything that my parents wouldn't see as "productive" or "important"
even when im playing vidya or watching something and i laugh or celebrate im inmediately shutdown by my mom because "im being too loud" which after sometime has pushed me into being a lot colder and has taken joy out of a lot of the stuff i do since i always have that bug in my ear remembering me to not be loud or to not laugh hard, i wouldn't have much trouble with it if my parents just wanted to be in silence, the issue is whenever they have guests or there's a party i never tell them to be quiet, even if they are blasting karaoke at 4 am and i want to sleep i abstain maybe that's just my fault but it does feel unfair at times.
and i've never really shared a lot of my hobbies with them because everytime i've shown them what i bought the first thing they ask me is >how much did that cost? followed by >dont you think you're spending too much money? why don't you buy a car instead? for some context we're talking about me buying at most one videogame like every 5 months with me saving the rest for an emergency or something, idk i just don't feel i could have a closer relationship with them
funny story the first console i bought by myself was a 3ds and i had to go with a friend and buy it without telling my parents that i was gonna buy it then i hid the thing for multiple weeks until they found it and i had to explain how i got it :kek_pain:
it's not just hobbies i feel like i've dedicated a great part of my energy and time just to please them, i went to college because of them, i didn't get a half-time job because they didn't want me to "lose focus", i never went to sign with my brothers because they didn't want me to be a musician and i've had to justify the very few friends i make to them MANY times.
hell even when i go out my mom is always there to make sure that i WEAR what she wants me to wear.
i want to believe they mean no harm but jesus life can be really asphyxiating at times
hell the reason why i haven't yet grabbed any shitty job i could grab is because i don't want to have to explain to them about why i chose such a job.
@ChristiJunior syntethic is a weird guy, he's almost based but he still rejects crossing over to our side so i don't fully buy his shit.
regardless maybe it's me being tired of this shit but my view is more militant, not only is my tolerance for this type of shit lower but i also apreciate my time more than this guy does, he fails to understand that woke crap or in other cases censorship is a big deal breaker for a lot of people, people are not "making themselves misserable", they are just choosing to go do something else while staying true to their morals.
i sadly understand that there are people who just have to CONSOOM and so they pirate it hopefully, but i'd rather see those "good" games be buried by the sands of time and apathy
@smugumin@ChristiJunior@apropos people really want that drop of clout don't they, everyone is scared of being that niche streamer/reviewer that shows you hidden gems. :pepedisappoint:
i really need to step up my game and get a fuckin mic already :doge_laugh:
@Echigo i wish a slow and painful death upon all of these fucking snobs cut their hands so they can no longer write and burn their throats so they can no longer speak. their ideas are so insencere that they should lose all the right to express them
