Lmbo I asked in both the Xbox and old steam threads how many of the posters in said threads were on a fixed income and it spawned pages of bizarre D&D esque discussion in the XboxOne thread and people talking about scraping to afford 2 dollar vidya in the Steam thread

They get real sensitive when you tell them to get a job and have fun in life

I was pretty poor with unstable income for a while before I got my new job, and every time I'd mention not being able to afford a game until it was on sale in a games thread, within 2 posts there would be a stream of people raging at me about how I shouldn't even be buying games if I couldn't afford them and how I was incredibly irresponsible. I could afford games, I just had to budget my luxury expenses. :shrug:

You're in education/training which immediately puts you above many games posters

Trying to better yourself is a good thing

It's cooler to get to the point where you have a job that lets you do dumb computer stuff and gaming while on the clock

I feel like the odd one out for being able to do that though

this is what college prereqs are. my last semester:

western civs 2 was "sum up the chapter in 150 words"
summing up 100 years of russia's most complicated era was fun because mentioning any specific events got you a 15/15

c++ was for/if loops for a semester

eng 112 was forum posting for a semester and someone in my class was a devout catholic woman who unironically used things like "you bet your sweet bippie" and ranted about the government whenever possible. she thought the civil war was 70 years ago and we needed a repeat of it. there was also someone who thought xena the warrior princess was a mythological deity. 250 word maximum on forum post, 750 words on essay

music appreciation was an enriching course with an interesting subject and enjoyable assignments.

i did most of western civs 2 in an afternoon, was 4+ weeks ahead on c++, and eng 112 was low effort as hell. i brought my laptop on the one day a week i had to be on campus and played king's bounty, or i played my 3ds on the hour and a half transit

next semester's going to be pretty much the same thing but with java/higher c++/php/psychology.

so picking up a skill to get me out of fixed income is annoying aside from coding for wordpress and that market is _full_
