I rule at video games but I am growing impatient with them and am starting to have existential crisises because I'm starting to think I was born a gay baby who'd grow up to do nothing but go to work and play video games and I want to die, what do I do?

well I can't just abandon video games because I'm a world championship gamer and the greatest gamer of all time so I'm poo poo at everything else ever because I wasted my life foraging a wide skill set in video games but I can't cook, drive, fix anything, argue effectively or even walk more than 50 feet without needing to stop and catch my breath. But I can destroy anyone in a metroid speedrun tournament but there's no money in that

so what do I do

Ok, there are two ways to do this, a lawful evil way and a chaotic evil way.

Chaotic evil: because every low number has a high number right next to it, pick up the die as soon as it is done rolling and turn the neighbouring high number up and show it instead of the lovely low roll you actually got.

Lawful evil: get a special kind of d20 called a spin down. These are used by Magic players to track their life so they have a high side and a low side, practice sliding the die to always land on the high side, you won't get a specific number but with a little practice you'll never roll below 10.

My advice would be to play a good strategy game, such as Civ 4, instead.

civ games are good if you're a kid and all you have is a computer, but it's not really YOUR computer it's the family's computer, and your dad BEGRUDGINGLY bought a game for it, but he bought what he thought was the most boring, uninteresting game he could find for it, and it's all you have to entertain yourself during the summer when you can't get a ride to the library or the pool, so you knuckle down and try to learn this poo poo, which looks nothing like Doom or Duke 3D which is what all your friends are playing, but you start to get good at it, you start learning it, and then you fast forward 15 years later and now its Civilization 72 or whatever and you try to play it and right off the bat you realize it's dogshit and go back to shooting space orcs or whatever in Halo 23
