Online dating is normal.
Comic book (movies) are the biggest selling genre.
Anime is mainstream, hentai is sorta mainstream, having lewd anime figurines is not a big deal.
Gaming to extreme lengths is not the sad pursuit it once was considered, LP'ers are famous.
Going to cons is not a niche thing.
Furries are approaching mainstream status with more females than you'd expect.

Uni turned out to be a waste of time.

I really don't know why I listened to anyone about anything. I really should've went full retard weeb/gamer online in the 2000s when it was just losers and weirdos.

Even fucking furries rank above me.

Get this isn't your board anymore grandpa

You still have plenty of time in your 30s as a man. Women pretty much are done once they hit 30. Just get fit, social, and find legitimate work

In the 2000s I was all about single player gaming, until Warcraft 3 broke the ice for me and then also gotten into MMORPGs like Silkroad Online.

I don't know what to do with this failed life.
Simply and correctly speaking there are only a few options left:

- Search and beg hard for a minimum wage job and get exploited -> miserable life continues

- Manage to get basic security benefits because muuhh mental problems, but have to be a pet dog to psychiatric world -> miserable life continues

- Go totally crazy, go vagabond/homeless life
-> miserable life continues, suffering will constantly increase until you die miserably

- Suicide, there is of course the danger of failing, but if done right even with a soft method of my choice
-> life and thus all stress and suffering stops
-> salvation

I can't stand office life. All my retard middle age women coworkers laugh at stupid shit all the time. One dumb bitch emailed around a google image of a groundhog because she found one in her yard. Not a photo of that groundhog...one she pulled off google. And I had to delete 10 emails from them copying everyone on the stupid fucking shit. Sometimes they just laugh at something that was said and I have no idea why it was funny. I just sit there stony-faced. The jokes they try and make aren't even funny. They're sad and sterile. I have nothing at all in common with any of them.
I also really, really do not think they do much work at all. We have a pool of work that we all share, and after I work on a batch of items and refresh, the number has gone down roughly by what I had just done, usually 20-30 items. If I refresh, go to the toilet or grab coffee, come back, and refresh again, the number is mostly unchanged, or maybe down by one. The entire group only started meeting their deadlines after I arrived. Except for like one person, I think the rest just pamp around, fetch coffee, or use their phones all day. And I'm far from a workaholic.
I calculated that I only have to work here 3 years before I can pay off my student debt and have freedom to take a job that might pay less but at least won't make me want to kill myself. How do these normalwagies do it? I'm looking at 3 years like a jail sentence, and most normies spend 40 working like this.

then start fucking around too faggot
I was like you, but after realising that normies don't do shit, I don't do shit anymore too
I work like 2h a day, and it's enough
rest of the day I spend on yt/internet/joking with normies/coffee

Cos you're a miserable bastard. And joy of life has been sucked out of you.
Sure what they're laughing is probably stupid but like they're trying to enjoy something.

I understand you though, people can instantly tell I'm a miserable bastard these days and I can't blame them.

1 and 4 are the only realistic options.

With 1 you at least have some spending money and buy ridiculous amounts of junk food or vidya since you won't have any real expenditures as a loner.

4, well, you know why.

This years e3 really got to me. For the first time I didn't want to play any of these games they were showing.

I'm not miserable, though. They just aren't funny. I have never laughed at normalfaggot jokes. Certain authors get me on my ass, and very certain anime do.
I'm paranoid, I'm still technically working as a temp because 3 month temp to perm, I don't want to fuck up before I get hired for real. Also I don't know if they monitor internet traffic or anything. All I want to do online is /a/ stuff or 4chinz and like hell I want to look at fucked up porn at work. I could use my phone but it's just suffering. Also no unlimited data.
I listen to audiobooks, so at least I'm learning stuff and not totally wasting my time. I finish 5-10 a week depending on length. I don't know how long it will take for me to run out of decent reads. Then what? Listen to random shit in japanese or french and try to absorb it blindly? Not like I use social media, literally only 4hcinz and /a/ purposes.

The normals have taken from you that which you love.
They didn't even want it. They just didn't want you to have it.

So it's clear that everyone under 30 is legit retarded on Jow Forums. Is anyone over 30 NOT retarded here?

fuck that hit hard and I thought I had no hope before

Same here.

Combination of the same shit over and over and, just generally, getting older.

I am actually at a breaking point.
Working office who gives out welfare wants me to stop being on welfare and apply for basic security benefits instead, basically saying your are invalid and not available as a working force.
It's so much paperwork and so dependent on the evaluation of the psychiatrist, it's outright annoying, because I want to cut off all that useless treatment.

For option number 4 I need to summon all courage I have and ever have had in my loser life and surpass myself.

Option 1 is not a good option in my eyes. Buying cheap stuff won't make anyone happy, vidya is no more fun and surely you have even less energy than before to do anything after being exploited by the employer each day.

>Buying cheap stuff won't make anyone happy, vidya is no more fun and surely you have even less energy than before to do anything after being exploited by the employer each day.

I find that the buying part is somewhat fun, trying figure out the best deals and offers.

>Anime is mainstream, hentai is sorta mainstream, having lewd anime figurines is not a big deal.
Ya'll still just as much of shut in as when you were in HS.

Do one, save money, go to school (Or a trade school if you wanna meme).

You're saying anime is not mainstream?

You're saying that regular-ish people don't watch hentai (obviously not with other people)?

I'm saying I go outside and while there has been a noteable increase in anime watchers from say, 2009. I currently wouldn't call it mainstream.

I hate how anime and manga are kind of becoming the new video games. At least we're getting some decent titles released in beautiful editions like the new Devilman release, never thought I would ever see that released in English but I absolutely hate the western fanbases since it's all full of secondaries and basic bitches who only know Miyazaki and call everything Pokemon. For some interesting discussion what's that one piece of media or medium you liked that got completely infested to the point of normalfags where you can't even enjoy it anymore?

I can already buy stuff now, it's not satisfying, small meaningless stuff.

It's not car, it's not real estate or anything life changing.

Nah, this is a 30+ thread, you can tell that some 20+ anons.
I am beyond help and nothing goes into my brainlet brain anymore. Society is done with me and I am as well.

Devilman Crybaby was shit.

>normalfags
I used to think it was an invasion but it's really that the new geeks have assimilated into the mainstream.

I know right? Like salt on the wound.

>I can already buy stuff now, it's not satisfying, small meaningless stuff.
Well, I don't know what else to say. I feel like a bunch of us should go to the woods and shoot ourselves.

the ubisoft pirate one looked ok, but it was also just Black Flag with a different skin

>he didn't watch Nintendo's presentation
>he doesn't have a Nintendo Switch

Seriously Nintendo is the only company still making worthwhile games

>Furries
Did you ever think that furries would actually find their footing? There's pretty furry girls streaming on twitch nowadays.

Just that I don't even have access to guns.

>They didn't even want it. They just didn't want you to have it.

This is what's been grating at me for a while now, like they've even taken away what little you had. I used my last ounce of social strength to leave my house and try get into MtG, cos /tg/ said that it's still full of turbo-nerds. Nope, the shop I went to had a huge bunch of hipsters.

I'm curious as to how you spend your days?

32 here. Life is pretty good

Maybe you can tell me when the point of no return was?

27-28 was when I started getting that feeling that the track my life was on no longer had any more junctions

But then again, my life is pretty good. Not sure if it would change if I was living off of neetbux or working a dead end job

In the recent weeks I have been especially feeling bitter.
In this time I have spent it mostly on imageboards, watching some stream of game shows and gaming.
When my mother and sister went out of house I would start watching porn and fap.

That's it. Writing posts, making threads, getting ignored , rinse and repeat.

Also sometimes I have an appointment with my psychiatrist, some other time there is the group therapy.
Of course the treatment is not working.

Those are some tiny dicks.

I don't think they are hard.

Dude on the left is semi and the guy on the right is mostly hard

A little young to be writing in this thread (26), but I got the feel today.
I've been building up courage to talk to a girl at work for a little while. Finally had a casual chat at lunch last week and gotten a bit more acquainted since.
Googled her a few minutes ago turns out she had been married for 5 years. My fault for not noticing the ring of course, and to be completely honest, it is not like my KV ass would have taken it much farther anyway. Still feeling shitty and more importantly realizing that the more time I spend being a robot(cyborg?) the more this is going to happen.

Pretty much. It takes decades to learn how to interact with others to the point of maintaining a long-term sexual relationship. And you don't have the willing practice partners you could have once had. Now your peers are ready to get serious RIGHT NOW.

31 here, I nust have missed the memo on anime being mainstream because everyone ny age I ever met either thinks it's lame or has not heard of it. I want to know where I'm supposed to find likeminded weebs to chill with. And don't say cons, I already know those are only for people who have friends to go with.

>want to know where I'm supposed to find likeminded weebs to chill with.
Search meetup.com, there should be a bunch of meetups nearby.

>missed the memo
It's mainstream enough.

Well, you passed the post of no return a year ago. And it's your own fault. The late 80s/early 90s losers have the excuse of not being born into an always connected world.

How was your life till now?

Bimp o bump

Till now? You mean until a few weeks ago?
The same, just that I have played a shitty weeb MMO and just felt empty and apathetic.
Ignorance is bliss.

To be honest I much more prefer the state I am in right now. It leaves me with the hope to eventually take action when the burden becomes too heavy.

I'm not 30 but I'm about to be 28.

>passed the point of no return to have something that even resembles a normal life (career and relationship wise)
>never graduated college, have no degree in an era where a bachelors is the same as a HS diploma in the past
>am only getting older and uglier, less chance to get girls in their prime (not that I barely had a chance in the first place)

Life is like a snowball effect. It started going bad in my teens and it just never stopped getting worse and worse, and I'm too scared to kill myself. So I have to live this "life" out of working horrible embarrassing low tier jobs, being an adult virgin with zero chance to get a gf, sex or have children, and I have to sit through it sober at least 5 days a week.

This truly is hell

i've never really liked furries or anything, but holy fuck that doe looks sexy as fuck.
oh my god, Jow Forums what have you done to me...

btw, when I was like 22 I fell for the self improvement meme. I went all out, I hit the gym like a mad man, got ripped, went back to college, got a part time job, starting talking to people. I even made a few friends, got invited out to drink with them and some single girls. I completely fucked up and made an autist of myself. I tried my best at being a normie and failed, flunked out again, went back to full time wage cuck positions.

Last time I checked that, the local anime groups were all dead. I remember I tried a couple of meetups (not anime related) and felt pretty excluded, it seemed like everyone else was already good friends so it was awkward for me. Stayed away from those type of meetups ever since. That was years ago though. I live in a large city so you'd think there would be some anime related group somewhere, but I'm doubting it.

>Till now? You mean until a few weeks ago?
Like your 20s I mean.

>btw, when I was like 22 I fell for the self improvement meme.
At 22 there was still time. It's 25 where everything solidifies.

Go to your local MtG shop.

>self-improvement is a meme
>actually falling for the self-improvement is a meme meme
Nothing wrong with bettering yourself.

All these things are normal but if you're autistic, awkward, or have a different opinion or way of behaving you're outcast to the ends of the Earth. Wearing diapers for fun is more acceptable than being too cringey or edgy.

>I hate how anime and manga are kind of becoming the new video games
I think you should be glad. I don't watch anime myself; but if I did I would keep that real close to my chest. Highly sexualised caricatures of little girls? You should be terrified of showing that shit to normies tbqh.

That would be a great pic if the dicks weren't so small..

>This years e3 really got to me.
E3 sickens me. ALl these adults screaming with joy over a new elder scrolls? Fucking souless bugmen.

Born in 86 here. I was in all the weirdo scenes but dropped out of them. I never experienced them post 2008. Now I'm in none of those scenes anymore. Should I go back to them?

>That would be a great pic if the dicks weren't so small..
That's not the fucking point of the pic.

It's to prove dedication to even the most bizarre niches still yield results.

Please release me from this hell.

Why did you use such a disgusting picture for your thread faggot? Isn't there enough faggot filth on this board.

To be quite honest, I don't know, but I do know the crowds have changed, so it's not going to be outcast oddballs like it used to be.

Hell, I tried to go an MtG for the first time and it zero turbonerds and 100% hipsters.

Social isolation does really fucked up things to your mind.

>A little young to be writing in this thread (26)
I hope you get cancer

Where did the turbonerds go?

as a consequence:
Free housing
Free food
Regular exercise
Stable lifestyle

and as a felon at least you have a reason for being an unemployable loser.

just saying.

>people with rare fetishes are often desperate enough to hook up with non-ideal candidates with the same fetish
Wew lad you slew me with that logic. Unfortunately your straw man doesn't contend with the original statement.

Don't be too hard on him, he's already fucked (above 25) unless a miracle comes his way.

No idea. I assume the Gen X and Y nerds have grown up and Gen Z are the cool nerds.

Also your use of the words 'even' and 'still' alter your statement from your intended message.

>non-ideal candidates
Not him but like they're hard-bodied faggots, not like the blobs of before.

What do you mean about before?

Also, ideal relates to all aspects of a person, and furry fetish or no, the average person with attraction to men would assuredly prefer those same guys to have bigger dicks.

>What do you mean about before?
Furry fandom used to be filled with unshapely jailhouse faggots.

>prefer those same guys to have bigger dicks
I'm sure there are Jow Forums furry faggots with bigger dicks but you can search for youself. Looking at the furry cons photos, there are a lot more Jow Forums looking people and more female members.

I don't want kids so I'm okay with being whatever age so long as I can fuck.

I'm still really not getting what your point is. Of course what you say is true, but none of it relates to the simple statement I originally made nor does it address the contention between me and the first responder.

Can you even do short-term ones if you're a social retard at that age? I'm reminded of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver where he thinks a first date is taking someone to the porn theater.

>Don't be too hard on him
Fuck that piece of shit any time there's an age+ thread some little faggot has to come in and blah blah blah about their bullshit when there are almost 150 other threads they could post in.

Fuck him then. What's on your mind?

Probably not. You might be able to fool someone for an afternoon, but they'll catch on sooner rather than later.

The same, graduated from HS 2006, was on and off enrolled as a student in a university, but that was more or less nothing.
All in all NEET for 10 years now.

Nothing much has changed other than I am being pushed around now by government, by psychiatrist, having obligations just to keep the welfare going.
Before that I was leeching from my mother.

Much shit was going on and stressing but that was mostly on my mother's side.
Have been posting on imageboards regularly since 2007.

My life is empty, insignificant and I lack life experience.

Browsing the catalogues of the 2 biggest supermarkets close to me to see which vegetables are on sale so i can keep trying to eat healthy on a very limited budget.

Fuck man, I'm genuinely at a loss at what to do with life. No friends, no money, no job, every time I try to start something, lack of motivation and loneliness catch up with me.

>Have been posting on imageboards regularly since 2007.
Weren't there meetups around that time? I know there were goonmeets around that time. The only ones that happen know I *think* are Jow Forums. They even have girls.

beautiful

You bastard. Congrats on the quads.

Sounds incredibly depressing.

I went to McDonald's today, saw a dude with an SS badge and an Iron Cross, in phony army fatigues. He was with a black dude.

I don't know what to make of that.

Shit man, you kinda missed your chance when Jow Forums was still good. Now it's a burning garbage heap. I'm sure we're a lost generation that won't be remembered.

As you see my wizard powers are far beyond yours, now back down.

I don't know, my memory is blurry anyways.

Can only remember how r9k was back then in those days, filled with story threads relating to scifi, x, and literature stuff.
We pretended to be gentlemen, used Sir regularly, slowly also started photo whoring ourselves.

I spent time as a NEET trying to get skills and abilities and cure my physical, mental, and developmental disorders. People think I was just NEET to be lazy but I knew if you can't pass for normal and feel miserable from your conditions you have no chance in life.

>We pretended to be gentlemen, used Sir regularly
You'd be called reddit if you did that now.

Not long after 9/11 I would catch the train to work each day and there would be this guy at the station each morning in army fatigues with tactical goggles.
>sounds incredibly depressing
Such is life. I don't expect happiness.
