[Discussion] Hey /r/childfree! What do you guys do for fun? I wanted to get to know some of you guys. What types of things are you passionate about? quote:Attempting to work in the games industry, either as a community mod or QA tester, it's slow going. For now, a lot of review writing and game guides quote:Right now I'm playing a ton of Overwatch and Assassins Creed the Ezio collection quote:Mostly just watch anime and play videogames, shipping all the male characters with each other in both. Play MMOs sometimes, and search for RP partners quote:Being an introvert with social anxiety that comes and goes I spend a lot of time to myself, I love completely immersing myself into stuff like games, anime, manga, books, movies etc. quote:I can spend hours upon hours at a time letting my favorite video games absorb my attention. No feedings or changes interrupt me.

Yeah, I didn't want to be an rear end in a top hat about that story, but I was kind of thinking "so, uh, how long is he going to be able to stay in Australia pre-marriage? Or post-marriage, for that matter? Does he, like... have a job? Pretty sure Australia doesn't give out Grand Romantic Gesture Visas." Also, in an alternate universe, someone is posting in r/relationships about how her delusional ex found her even after she left the country, months after the relationship ended, and is still convinced they're "soulmates" and trying to propose, and HER FAMILY LET HIM IN WHAT THE gently caress

Being married cuts no ice with them. The OP should have picked a different country for his story as it's hard to suspend disbelief.

Or at least it kept him from developing as a person the way he needed to as to not hurt others. It only made me and everyone else I know who ever worked in games "bad" in that we all wasted years of our lives doing poo poo work in pursuit of a ridiculous dream, and all the while the good jobs were unattainable because the people who already had them were being downsized and the entire area's games scene was slowly collapsing on itself and every company is now gone and now we're all slightly more bitter and cynical Hi, GBS, I was once told, by a team leader at a game company where I worked, to study up and hit the books and one day maybe I too could be a programmer. I had a Master's degree in computer science from an Ivy League institution, that team leader never loving once in his life designed a game that didn't fail miserably, and I was given a dev job and paid more money the second I left the games industry in favor of a tech company that wasn't actively dying. It turns out that being the only subcategory of tech with more interested and qualified applicants than job openings has done some really horrible things to gaming companies' upper management. Just do something else, anything else, and code up little game apps in Unity in your spare time to scratch that itch. Trust me.

Someone asked, so: anti-natalism is the position that suicide is not bad, and birth is not good. Afaik it's developed most thoroughly in Sarah Perry's Every Cradle is a Grave, which (again afaik) was sparked by Thomas Ligotti's non-fiction-or-is-it philosophy horror-story The Conspiracy Against the Human Race. I seriously doubt either of them would ever go to a midnight Harry Potter release. eta: I remember now how Perry summed it up; it's the belief that "life is unfortunate."

54 40 or gently caress posted:That is completely hosed up and totally stupid This post will get me trap sprung and yada yada, but Ligotti's book is pretty solid if over-floridly written. It's clearly a build up from his deep depression and is overall a really interesting experiment in bridging themes from his horror fiction and reality. I don't know anything about Perry, though it shouldn't surprise you that the "Life kinda sucks" idea didn't start with either of these relatively recent authors.

There's no ban on it, just a small amount of bitching. I don't think anyone wants to read about pets being tortured or whatever though.

I've taken the ages out of the headline, because I think it'll be more fun if you discover them naturally. My boyfriend of 9 months, I found out he was lying to me about a few things including his age? My boyfriend and I met online and have been in a LDR for 9 months. We didn't add each other on most social media because it was only sexual at first, mainly video chatting on snapchat and skype, sometimes talking about shows we both liked and life. We decided I would go on a trip to visit him in a year when I turn 18, so it was starting to get serious. This week when I searched for his first name and his city I found out he has a newish facebook profile (100% it's him through the pics) and tons of friends, so I stalked him a little. I found his mom and looked at her profile. She posted a status about her son's 30th birthday 3 years ago but he told me he was 27 last January. She also had pics of him with a girl who she called his girlfriend from 9 years ago. I then saw that this same woman likes all his posts and comments on his pictures and statuses with hearts and flirty stuff, but her profile says she's in a relationship with someone else so I don't think he's cheating with her, but I think it's pretty inappropriate to when you're seeing someone. He never told me about her. I was pretty upset when I saw all this so I messaged him yesterday and we talked. He said she was a friend and that they'd never dated, which contradicts his mom's post, unless he was lying to his mom. He admitted he lied about his age but said it was because he was afraid I'd block him. He said it was only a few years and said he wanted to bring it up but he was so scared since we started dating more formally. I'm feeling pretty bummed out over this since we had all these plans together and I've never dated anyone before or had a sexual relationship with anyone. I don't know if I can trust him again. He made everything on his facebook private as we were talking which is also really shady. I don't really have any friends at my school (my family moves every year or two) so he was the only person I talked to so often in the last year. He has been sending me messages all day today and yesterday but I've been ignoring them. Has anyone patched up a relationship after something like this? I just want to go back to the way things were, he is a really nice guy otherwise, I was so excited for our future.
