How long does Cred Forums stays up all night just to play videogames?

all night

This is my life right now
>wake up at 7 or 8
>"I'm going to do something today!"
>end up being on the computer for half the day
>"half the day is gone, I'll do something tomorrow"
>go to sleep at 12 or 1
and repeat

If I start to mess up, or feel tired, I just go to bed. Mental fatigue can absolutely ruin your performance.

I could play for 24 hours but Im scared of death

>"half the day is gone, I'll do something tomorrow"
This is the worst mental trap and I fall for it every time

Those glorious NEET days, when you are literally sleeping between shifts.

I sleep like 3 hours a day max, and that happens whenever the hell it happens.

I played 20hours straight One night, after That my benis didnt Work anymore.
Pls send help and es!

I used to wake up at 6pm and play all night long to 11am or so.

But these days I have job and responsibilities and shit.

>benis didnt work anymore
why?

Until around 4 am but i work the night so

Confess. How many of you are NEETs?

That's a strange way to spell " furiously masturbate"

Are you dutch? Go to bed and sleep more, you phagot.

Not him, but I sometimes play eroge games all day and edge the whole time or cum multiple times during the day. Haven't done it in a while though.

Me, I didn't enroll this semester's college but I'm planning to come back in August this year.

Yesterday I played games until 6 am

Sleep is irrelevant.

How old are you? I'm 28 and didn't enroll this semester too
I'm 4 semesters away from graduating med school, but it feels like a fucking chore desu

When I was working my previous project, I was getting up at 4am and lucky to get home by 5pm and have maybe a hour or two of playing in before I had to go to bed. Fuck that job.

With my new job, I am getting up at like 6am - 6:30am and sometimes get done super early (On average 1-2pm, sometimes as early as 11am) and have plenty of time to play for a bit, hang out with friends or go to a movie.

i used to play WoW until like 3 or 4am and be up by 8 for work, ever since i quit WoW though i find it incredibly hard to stay up past 11pm

i guess im getting older now though, even one night per week of less than 7 hours sleep just devastates me

I wake up at around noon and stay up until 4AM

I was a neet for a year after I dropped out of uni. Went to trade school, it's my last year now and I dunno what I'm going to do after it. Even now I'm supposed to be going to work for practice, but I just talked with an acquaintance that he'll sign for me that I worked at his place when in fact I'm just sitting at home for 3 months doing fuck all.

hot

i don't have the strength anymore. i'm always tired, my eyes and head are in pain and i always want to sleep. death is coming

Go see a doctor, lad.

I got up around 10 PM last night and just finished playing Secret Lab with Cred Forums the entire time so I'm going to bed now to do it again

Been playing the yakuza games back to back and have easily racked up 16+ hour sessions. Been staying up really late.
On yakuza 3 now.

It's pretty easy when you have trouble sleeping.

I do this but with drugs.

>tfw can't stay up at all
I go to bed at 8-9PM and wake up at 5-6AM. There's no helping it.

>not getting up at the crack of dawn for vidya

Up til 2-3AM, but only on weekends. What else are people supposed to do with that free time?

>video game board
>posts rugrats
>pic related

22, Pharmacy student, I'm stuck in 3rd year.
At least you're in grad school now user while my hopes of being a doctor is fucking done for since I'm struggling really hard in my current studies.

dumb newfag

This is a games board take that shit to Cred Forums retard

>too new to remember 4am threads
lel

All you need is to have something important that you really should be doing instead.
The stress makes it very easy to stay up all night.

28, I try my best to not be like my old self like waking up at 3-4pm, shit was hell. Always tired, depressed as fuck and things.
That was like nearly a year ago but consistently waking up at like 9am now. But ever since MHW been staying up late and wake up around 11 am, not so bad like last time I guess

I used to stay up until around 5AM sometimes 9AM playing videogames. Wake up around 2PM-4PM, but that was when I was NEET. I sold my PS4 so my ex could have money to fix the breaks on her car. I sold a lot of my shit for her and I regret it but learned a very important lesson.

>board culture
This is a video game board take that dumb shit to it's appropriate board and fuck off. Not vidya

user, as someone who did the same thing last year, you are going to burn out. I'd recommend taking a break after 3, since 4 and 5 are decent and worth experiencing fresh.

>he's a frogposter too

Drop out now my dude
Job market is shit

here's your last (You) newfag, cherish it

Fucker can afford to do nothing all day and still bitches about it

on vaction rn so i'm going from 11AM to 5AM to maximize, trying to keep those 6hrs of sleep everyday

After each game I've had a massive itch to play the next one. I finished 1 and told myself "time for a break" only to start a playthrough of 2 the next day telling myself I was just going to see. Then I ended up playing for over 50 hours. Did the same shit when I beat 2 and now I'm on 3.
Help.

>22
Jesus fucking Christ user
I'd give anything to be 22 again

While you are new, I'm surprised kids in this day and age know what Rugrats is.

Which era of Cred Forums was your favorite?

"The Cred Forums era where many off topics and general threads happened until /vg/ and /vr/ came"

"The /r9k/ era when moot closed down /r9k/ and wojaks were posted all the time here"

"The normie era after gamergate"

I used to stay up until 3 or 4 AM if I didn't have class sometimes but the latest I'll do on weekends is like 2 AM now that I'm working full time.

>selling stuff because of your gf
I hope you really learned your lesson, user. My best friend didn't, even after she left him. The things some men do for women.

I usually play games and watch anime until 3 in the morning then I go to the gym until about 4 then I come home, take a shower and sleep until 12

>he hates offtopic shit and board culture so he must be a newfag

What about classes?

Doing it right now, actually. Played a bit of Shadow of the Colossus, Yakuza 4 (FINALLY did that fucking mahjong trophy) and will probably play a bit of Samus Returns before going to bed.

Cred Forums used to be 90% off-topic shit and maybe 10% game related shit (and most of the time the game discussion was tangentially related t off-topic shit)

either go back to where you migrated from or learn to accept the facts, dumb newfag

...

>Cred Forums used to be 90% off-topic shit
still is

This is my favorite era

>Cred Forums used to be shit so it needs to always be shit

Go fuck yourself

does sleeping > 5 hours a day really that bad?

>classes

woah user, that picture isn't relevant to videogames. Please take that image to Cred Forums, Thank You!

Not him but I really miss v before vidya , threads were comfy even though most of them were off topics, you don't have college, high school or reddit or whichever hole posters making shit garbage threads like today
And yet I'm still here

No I do it all the time I feel like shit if I get 8 hours of sleep

wow a troll image? not video games!

>claims board culture isn't video games
>still calls me a newfag when I point this out
You're so easy.

Of course user. I told her straight to her fucking face that I wouldn't sell any more of my shit. Long story short, she was emotional and physically abusive...we moved in and one day I had enough of her shit so I hit her back. Legal issues of course. During our relationship I blew check after check on her. She said she would pay me back in certain situations, about $250-300 is what she owed me. We went out one time and I told her I'd pay her back for what she spent on me, even though I told her I didn't want to go to a strip club, she forced me anyway for our """3 month anniversary""". She spent about $100 on me that night. If you deduct everything, she still owed me money but was obsessed with saying I owed her money anytime she asked me for anything. Basically I sold my PS4 to give her the money to fix the brakes on her car. Then when I turned around and asked her for my money...(we were broken up by this time and I was done) the only way she'd give it to me is if I got back with her and agreed to live in her car until I got another place (I moved out and back in with my family after what happened and she of course couldn't afford the place).

The lesson I learned is that I'd never sell ANY of my shit...literally ANY of it for ANYBODY other than myself. Or at least someone who is actually worth it and not a selfish piece of shit.

You can't just shit on him and do the exact same shit you mongoloids.

>what is irony
Cred Forums really is dead, good lord

>implying irony is an argument

On the weekends I usually stay up until 2-4am
Weekdays I'm lights out at like midnight

how the fuck in your twisted mind did you figure people taking the piss out of some newfag by ironically making fun of him is an argument?

your IQ must be around 80 but that might be too generous

Good for you, user.

Because taking the piss out of someone doesn't prove anyone wrong, it just makes everyone a dumb asshole.

The manga has an NTR ending. The tears will be delicious.

I wish I was a NEET.

I'm close to being one now but still have a "job" that requires me to get up early. But I only "work" about 4-5 hours a day and have lots of time off.

And to answer the OP I don't stay up late playing video games. I play those during the day.

Chapter 36 is not the last chapter you fucking shitfuck

On weekends, I usually stay up until 2-4 in the morning watching anime and playing video games. Then, I wake up around 10-11 in the morning.

On weekdays, I usually stay up until 2-4 in the morning watching anime and playing video games. Then, I wake up around 10-11 in the morning.

I sleep at 9pm and wake up at 7am.

lmao keep telling yourself that pure fag.

Go away nigger

well that's what happens when you argue about stupid shit like board culture on Cred Forums
you expecting to prove people wrong?

When I was young I would stay up until 4 or 5am. Now that I am 53 my body gives up at 7pm.

Are you literally a child?

I'm expecting someone to make some actual sense instead of being stupid and shitposting. If you stoop down to their level you're just as dumb as him, all while pretty much being the very thing you're "ironically" pissing on. It's stupid.

>Now that I am 53
Why are you still here geezer

How does one break the never ending cycle of monotony and battle against adversity that happens everyday in real life?

Yes, classes. Or are you not planning on getting a degree and becoming part of the workforce?

I tried to leave but cant. I dont like any other online community and I am lonely with no children or friends.

since VR chats creation i've literally spent like 60 hours this week on it. i've finally can become a 2d loli.

Who was in the wrong here?

this actually happened to me once. I was extremly bored and wanted to kill myself. But instead i went for the greatest fap in the universe. I edged for 8 hours straight without cumming once. My dick started to hurt really bad after 7 hours. Then when i hit 8 hours my between my stomach and dick area started to hurt really fucking bad. Then i was tired so i came what i believe was the biggest ejaculation of mankind. I think i almost died when i came. Literal unlimited pleasure for 20mins after cumming. Was really dizzy and my dick hurt really fucking bad. After about 20 mins , my dick starts to hurt more and i check on it. I started to have a fucking panic attack. I thought i broke my dick. And i just sat there for 20mins panicked and googling "how to fix broken dick". I thought about killing myself really badly after that happened. I thought that i destroyed my dick. 2 days go by on the verge of killing myself , walking around with a dick that had the biggest fucking swelling ever. I had enough. I was going to see if i killed my dick or not. So i check on the dick and inspect the super swollen dick. And I start folding my dick (dont ask me , you dont want to know) i start to fold my foreskin to check if my dick is fucked up somewhere long under. I was right. Somehow i managed to beat my dick so hard it literally twisted the flesh with the skin. I tried for about 10minutes to untwist it it finally untied. My dick retracted and came back out. That was my story.
Sorry if that was weird. I just came to think about that happening to me when you wrote that. I never really told anyone else. This is anonymous so i just let my whole experience. This took 10minutes to write. I dont know what drove me to tell you this. But thank you. I had actually forgot about that experience for a little bit. But your post helped me remember it.

is this pasta?

no i just wrote this. I have a really shit memory. Some things just get my memory jogging. So i just started typing because i remembered the event when i read what that guy wrote

cool story

i fucking hate anime so much

Interesting. I've had quite a few 6-8 hour edging sessions over the years and I've never experienced anything like that.

I can't believe what this show has made me feel

I'm not even attracted to the characters, but since I accidentally opened the first episode I couldn't stop watching it

This is really bad indeed

All night.

>normal days
5pm - 1am
>vacations
6pm - 8am

to 3 or 4am, then I have a 6-7 hours sleep and wake up around 10-11 to laugh at my friends being at work

>staying up past your bed time
ISHYGDDT

Not him but I do this, I've had trouble sleeping since I was a sweet child

For some reason, going almost straight to bed after work gives me a good amount of sleep (10pm to 6am)

I've been neet for over 10 years and I don't even feel bad about it anymore.
I overcame depression and anxiety for the most part, but now I still need to beat procrastination, the hardest one of all

how do you survive? where do you get money from?

my dad. I just live with him and he doesn't pressure me into anything

>procastination
The root of all my problems.

over two years and counting
i-it gets better eventually right? I don't need to go to college right?
right?

>tfw even procrastinate on stuff I WANT to do
when does it fucking end
I'm too lazy to even play video games anymore

I love citrus

user, find some job.

also i dont know if i forgot to mention that it took me 4 days to be able to get hard again

>uncutfags

I could never be a NEET. My parents would kick me out of their house after a while of not having a job. In some ways I think it's important to be self-sufficient but in other ways you're a wage slave wasting half of your waking hours a day doing stupid bullshit just so you can literally survive. I don't think communism is right but I really don't know anymore. It seems like people are expected/required to waste wayyyy too much time working in life. It sickens me and makes me want to just say fuck that and off myself

start playing the first game on your backlog RIGHT NOW

This. I barely play games, and i like to hate everything because i'm just a stupid contrarian who can't enjoy games anymore.

Two years straight i guess, but soon i will get a job.

>folding my dick

True story. Manga is a masterpiece, the anime is rubbish, though (still watching it hoping it gets better, even though it won't).

The latest was 4am, I believe. Fucking Crash Bandicoot.

neet for 9 years and going, planning on how to celebrate my 10 years anniversary.
I can't imagine a life with work anymore as there are too many games being released that I want to try, even if 90% of them are shit.

>say I wanna play games
>stay up all night touching my dick & listening to music
I'm trying to make it to 12 then hopefully I'll be so tired from staying up all night I'll just pass out & get a normal sleep schedule
I envy you, when I try to sleep at 10pm or below I always wake up an hour or two later

Fuck off.

but I'm really tired and lying in bed on my phone is way easier

9 months. I figured people would want to hire me once I graduated but I was mistaken.

MY ESSAY IS DUE IN 9 HOURS AND I STILL HAVE 1000 WORDS TO GO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What's this /u/ looking show? Is it decent?

I go to bed at midnight or one and wake up at 9.
There was a time where I had no classes until like 4 and my sleep schedule got so fucked. I was staying up until 4 AM and sleeping in until 2.

Turn off your phone and start working on your backlog NOW

Citrus, yuri drama with dumb but entertaining writing. it's alright

>academia forces you to bullshit pages of garbage in an """essay"""
>literally no job in the world wastes your time like this
why the fuck do people willingly put themselves through that useless scam?

I sleep from 4pm to about 1am.

Fridays and Saturdays: 3am
The rest of the week: 2am

When I was younger it was common for me to play 40ish hours in a row.
Now max is 1 or 2 am and waking up at 7.

Usually until around 5.30am, though the furthest i can get is 10am when the game is really got me real good.

I don't even look at the time anymore, I just play until I need sleep

Almost every day because I mostly work 2nd shift which starts at 1 pm.

I'm basically there even though its not official yet. Never had a job, don't even have my drivers licence, in my mid 20s and still live at home. I'm at least going to college but its all online so I still sit at home on the computer all day and once I graduate I see no prospects for myself.
Fun times.

>>"how to fix broken dick"

Max 12 midnight, when i have a interesting game.

I wake up at 5 am so this is actually way to late.

I remember doing something similar as this, but my penis didn't get broken or anything like that. It was just difficult to walk for the rest of the day, so I just stayed in bed for the rest of the day resting. Fucking CoC.

How do you people edge for so long. I don't even get edging, after 5-10min my dick just starts getting sore and at that point there's less pleasure and I cum less.

This is me. It's not even an intelligent essay or adding anything significant. It's just
>regurgitate what you read and heard in the lecture but in a different order with a citation for every sentence
>2000 words
>each week
>have an exam next week thats basically a 2500 word essay question
>2 hours to write it
fuck this dumb class I'm just going to fail
shouldn't even be wasting my time with all this garbage

If I don't have to do anything on the next day I just game/fap until I feel like I can't keep going, then go sleep.

I can't even imagine only fapping in that short of a session anymore. Maybe I'm just too far gone. Most of the time, I play porn games or read through a couple h-doujins, and that usually takes awhile, especially if I'm using a game to do it since getting to the pornographic content usually takes awhile.

It's okay. Nothing amazing but not completely awful, at least as far as I've watched.

You mean how long during the day does Cred Forums stay up after playing games all night?

Because of the
>college will get you a good job
meme that an entire generation was fed since they were little. Everyone puts themselves through it to get an edge in the job market only to realize that its now useless because everyone else did too. Unless you go for a stem degree its a waste of time and effort these days. A trade school would be a much better alternative.

I don't. I grew out of that shit years ago. Sleep is so much better than wasting hours and hours trying to escape reality with a shitty ass electronic babysitter.

I used to be for 3 years after HS and then I got a retail job. Thought it was fine for the first month or so until one day we had to start offering these BS dollar store items to get people to sign up for cards. I was just doing it mechanically the entire time until one day when I asked a customer, he looked at me like I was crazy and then bursted into laughter and said "man I remember when I had to work retail, it sucked. I'm so glad I got a desk job" and that's when I realized I'll be a failure in life and I'm no better than dead if I continue like this. So I went to a community college with the money I saved up, kept procrastinating and working my ass off at the last second and just kept barely making it until I got to university. Now I'm in my second year of computer science. Because of that one guy that laughed at me I've developed a fear of working in retail for the rest of my life and every time that fear rears it's head I work like my life depends on it. I never want to feel as degraded as I did when that guy looked down on me ever again.

Don't forget to like and subscribe.

Only do it like bi weekly or maybe once a month like that. Even then its not nearly as long as in that post. I don't live alone so getting a good fap in without sitting on the toilet is a rare opportunity. I only get that kind of alone time once every couple weeks or maybe once a month so when it comes I go all out.

Sounds about right.

You play games to escape reality? I play games to have fun.

unbelievable

Right now it's anything from 10 pm to 2 am, which is infinitely better than the "schedule" I used to have. I'd basically live on a 25 hour day with my waking hours slowly drifting from regular human being hours to full NEET hours and beyond, eventually ending up in the same place I'd started on with a useless promise that I'd fix my ways. Didn't exactly have a positive effect on my studies, at least I managed to recently claw to the edge of the hole I dug for myself and regained at least some semblance of motivation.

Not me but
>spent 4 and a half years in CC dicking around
>finally transferred and will spend another THREE YEARS because of how many units engineering requires, and having some classes not transfer
>still have never worked a day in my life
I literally have nothing to say for those 4 years I spent. No excuses at all. Recruiters are going to cringe when they see my apps.

Summer break is enough NEET for me for a life time. 3 months of doing absolutely nothing and I do it every year until I graduate.

I would've just told that guy to eat a dick and fuck off
university is too much effort and WAY too much bullshit for me to even consider bothering with

Is it worth it to continue studying after your bachelor's degree? If I keep going down this path I think I'm going to be very unhappy later on.

Also how good is neet life when you hit the gym on the regular and you like self-study?

Will be in 2 weeks.

It's 4-5 years of effort for a lifetime of a comfy lifestyle. Worth it to me.

>Had good job, hot GF, fit and in shape, and was fucking miserable. Worked my ass off, tried to do better and better, just got more and more stressed and miserable every month.

Hell, society in general just pisses me off, everything about it rubs me the wrong way.

Can't say I'm proud but I'm happier then I was before. Take whatever shitty job my JSA finds for me, they never last long because of my sleep though. After a couple years of trying I've given up on ever getting back to a normal sleep cycle. I can maintain it for a few weeks, but one slip and I'm awake all night, literally collapse after falling asleep of my feet the day after no matter how much caffeine I pump myself full of.

>comfy lifestyle
There's nothing comfy about life. The only difference is you have enough money to literally drown yourself in liquor and eat yummy, non-shitty poor people food. That's it.
Life still sucks either way. Having money isn't going to suddenly make life stop being shitty.

I never sleep so I can always play vidya. I just enjoy shitposting here more because I hate video games

Until I literally collapse. Remember, every hour spent on sleep is an hour of your life wasted.

I'm specifically talking about the job, which is like what 50% of your weekdays. Why spend all of that doing something you don't enjoy, is stressful, and is degrading?

And there's no downside to having money. Sure it isn't everything, but I hate being limited during times I'm in need of it. Having money won't stop making life shitty, but it sure as hell will make it less shitty.

>Why spend all of that doing something you don't enjoy, is stressful, and is degrading?
And you're assuming this is the case for all jobs and all people who work them because?

5 years. I'm 26.

I don't really enjoy it but the only jobs I can get are even worse so why bother

...

>tfw work from 5 AM to 11AM
>rest of the day completely free
>only caveat is going to bed at 10PM

neet life only ruins your body

4-5 years of torture plus being indebted for the rest of your life isn't worth shit
I'd rather kill myself once I can't be neet anymore

That's fine, but to assume that all jobs have the characteristics you describe for everyone who does them is nonsensical; Spongebob-type workaholics exist, and to relay my own experience, some people complain about their job and how its hard work but you can tell that they enjoy it more than being at home or at other places, like my father. That's not even counting the people who have jobs that have literally none of the criteria you specified because they somewhat made it in life. Everyone's different.

>being indebted for the rest of your life

That's not my case. I live at my parent's rent-free and go to uni in the same city so that already cuts out a significant chunk of debt. Combine that with an paid internship and I'll easily be able to graduate debt free.

I'm not telling you how to live your life user, I can only tell you how I'm living mine. I don't want to be looked down on or be limited by what I can get or do.

neets living off your parents, what are your plans when they die or can't support you anymore?
I've never had a job/college education and mine are already old with no retirement plan (they're fuckups too) so I need some ideas besides killing myself, although good ways of doing that are also accepted

suck dick
get paid

or if your female
>twitch not-cam-whores-guis strimmer

get an entry level job
single apartments are cheap
>help me kill myself pls
we both know you don't have the balls to go through with it, so get that mcjob

I refuse to work some nigger tier job or be around people on a daily basis
I can't even hold a "normal" sleep schedule so there's no way I could keep any sort of job anyway

Not him but working only makes you feel slightly less worse but you still want to kill yourself.

My job is only part time and I still hate it. I can't fathom the idea of working full time without killing myself unless it was similar to the temp job I worked at christmas where all I did was input post addresses on a computer.

Even the most basic jobs take way too much effort. My part time job had 27 people apply for it for something that quite frankly is demeaning as fuck.

Get a nigger tier job and realize how shit it is first hand. It could change you.

I know you're not, but I'm trying to find out the reasoning behind asking such a generalizing rhetorical question, especially since it in essence is a big reason why "life won't stop being shitty." Since it would be dumb to apply the criteria to all people and all jobs, and the job according to you is a big part of why life isn't comfy and won't stop being shitty, then surely there are people out there with jobs whose lives are comfy and good, don't you think? And wouldn't that mean that life isn't as unerringly shitty as you've made it out to be?

Because I'd like to think that it's possible to make your life mean something, even if only for yourself.

>I refuse to work some nigger tier job or be around people on a daily basis
tough shit
it's that or die a slow painful death on the street because you won't go through with suicide

>single apartments are cheap
Not where I live lol

My parents life insurance policies are going to me along with the house so I'll probably sell it and most of the stuff in it and move into something like a one room apartment and live as frugally as possible off of it for as long as I can. I don't need a house meant for 4+ when I'm alone. If that ever starts to wear out I'll probably take whatever entry level I can get and make ends meet. With no kids and no SO, there's really only me to spend money on so I don't need a lot.

As much as I like to meme about offing myself I'd never actually do it. I'd have to be in a pretty dire situation hit the point of seriously considering it.

I've always waited until the last minute when consequences are immediate to do everything in my life
I'm certain when things start actually getting bad ending myself will be a lot easier than you think

Who is this qt3.14?

I'd love to be her boyfriend.

>I've always waited until the last minute when consequences are immediate to do everything in my life
we both know you're already panicking, don't bullshit yourself

Gonna sell the house, buy a ticket to Japan and roam the country living however I feel like. Maybe Ill die. Maybe Ill find something of a lifestyle that I dont hate. Either way I think it's more fun than killing myself in a dark room.

Again, I'm not trying to give you some sort of end-all solution or tell you you're not living your life correctly. I'm only defending the choices I've made for my own life.

I'm also not assuming working those jobs won't bring other people happiness. Only it won't for me. Different people value different things and we all have our own situations so it'd be stupid to assume my life decisions would apply to everyone else.

>tfw don't even know how to sell things to people, much less a house

>be neet and never have a job or education
>"Why do I have to work around people or work a shit job!?"
Hmm, I wonder why? You can't sit on your ass and expect an amazing job after all those years.

>tfw can't experience staying up all night anymore because I work
>not even consistently on Friday/Saturday nights since I work one in two weekends

>I refuse to work some nigger tier job or be around people on a daily basis
Then you should have done something so you'd be able to land a job that doesn't involve being around people.

I've been a NEET for about 2 years now. But I'm finally trying to get out of the hole. I had a job interview last week and I have three more scheduled for next week.

why not
I've never had to try at anything before and no one taught me how so why is it different all of a sudden
I still refuse to go to college because the academic environment makes me sick to my stomach

Recently as late as 4am. Typically 2-3am.
I don't like waking up past 8am though and prefer 6:30am so I adjust when necessary.
Modern games take too much time.

>why not
Because you literally don't know how to do anything related to said jobs.

I've been "panicking" (depressed) about this shit for years now, it's why I'm in the state I'm in
when I actually start panicking I'll find a solution real quick, believe me

>I never tried and expected people to hold my hand
FTFY

>get up
>wagecuck
>gym
>shower, din-din's and cleanup
>get about an hour of free time before I get to do it all again

Typing a 1000 words ain't too hard. I'm not even a native English speaker and I've managed to write that much in an hour. Just get to it already.

well be fair on anons behaf that is all they do for your entire school life uptill HS graduation where theyre like
"lol fuck you go do things now"

then why was I able to succeed by bullshitting my way through everything up until now
what was the point of the first two decades of my life if they did nothing to teach me how to deal with the rest of it
why am I expected to suddenly be able to become a different person by snapping my fingers and magically knowing how to do anything at all?

>1000 words isn't hard

It really is if you are a perfectionist who hates bad writing.

>I'm not trying to give you some sort of end-all solution or tell you you're not living your life correctly.
Okay, but the problem is that you framed those statements in a way where it really did come off as an attempt to do so, so I wanted to ask you further about it. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate being told that their life is a joke especially if they were good enough or socially competent enough to get a job. Diction is a powerful thing.

You don't need to go to college to get a good job (but it's the easiest way). You can just work various shit jobs, get experience, and then obtain a good job. That's what I did, and now I have it pretty good.

Things don't just fall into your lap in the real world. We all have to work for it.

>tfw last few days i've just been awake for 12~ hours, then sleep for 12~ hours
>do jackshit all day

Nah, not really. The best way to do it is to type a rough draft and then go back to it and start editing in and out.

>then why was I able to succeed by bullshitting my way through everything up until now
Because high school is a trap for the slackers who lack drive
They'll cruise through doing nothing and end up nothing while people who take the initiative and look for ways to better themselves come out on top

as a 13 year veteran of retail it still surprises me how many times i got away with cursing out customers. they're either too lazy to contact a manager or deep down they knew they were in the wrong.

Me. 4 year math degree, I meaningfully contribute long-term to some popular open source projects but none of that helps me even get interviews in the first place.
After I had to replace some computer parts I realized I can't keep doing this. I'm on the hunt again now but only one place has shown me any interest at all and I haven't heard back from them.
I just don't know anymore.

>The best way to do it is to type a rough draft and then go back to it and start editing in and out.

But that means writing bad writing and also knowing you might have to rewrite those 1000 words is just as bad.

It was a literature review and I'm done. Goodnight Cred Forums.

You're right, I should've worded that better. Apologies.

Well done, user. I knew you had it in you.

I do stay up all night, but it's only since I'm busy fucking my lesbian step sister ofc

>what was the point of the first two decades of my life if they did nothing to teach me how to deal with the rest of it
You're in the same shitty situation that everyone else is. Everyone at some point comes to the realization that k-12 schooling is mostly just daycare with grades. Some kinds figure it out early and take advantage of opportunities available to students while they're there while most people will only do what's required and never do anything extra curricular despite that being the best way to get ahead.

I do agree though that high school could afford to teach kids some practical adult shit like filing your taxes or some shit since that's something literally everyone has to do every year yet no one ever teaches kids this until they're told now they have to do it.

>literature review
what a waste of fucking time
academia makes me want to vomit

Good job user, I still haven't started. You're better than me.

This is one of the reasons why I hated school and uni. Also public speeches.

Called into work today because I stayed up until 3 playing Heroes of the Storm last night.

Speaking from personal experience, having to rewrite the whole thing is rare. Even then, it doesn't necessarily have to be all to frustrating to go back to it.
The best advice I can come up is write something even if it's just to get past that roadblock and then go back to it after you're done to salvage whatever's left. Don't push yourself too hard and allow yourself to make mistakes, for time will make you a better writer. Fucking up is an important part of the process; staring at a blank sheet for an hour and quitting won't get you anywhere.

At least public speaking is a skill you might use again once in a while.

About to quit my job to be a neet for a few weeks while applying to places

I'm just trying to write a fanfic but I always had problems writing essay's because of my perfectionist so I just left them till the night before.

So far I'm on 5500 words. Doesn't get easier though.

Thanks user.

Life's a shit sandwich etc etc

Just get some caffeine and power thru it user. We're all gonna make it.

My favorite part is putting it off until the last second, writing some bullshit like 5 hours before it's due in an almost trance like state, and getting an A anyways.
There's no greater feeling of smug knowing you got an A on something you put about zero effort in when other people who worked their asses off barely scraped by with a C.

>have to write that much about art history
>this week its some black chick whose every work is about interracial sex and white on black rape
>text book describes it as 'visual ejaculation'
>I am supposed to take this completely seriously and write 1000+ words about it
Just fucking kill me already.

i think the real problem is that your (potential) employers basically control your life and the room to take back that control is becoming more and more limited by the day

I'm not but I may as well be. I go to work every day and then just come home and play video games or watch anime. It's what I do all weekend too.

I used to be pretty lonely about it, but that's gotten better after hanging out with coworkers on occasion. Makes me realize how boring people are.

True, I just hate public speaking. Even though I'm usually better at public speaking than essays. Though most people are like that, I guess. I always used to get 4-6 (out of 10) for essays because I suck at my native language and I'm especially shit at grammar.

knowing about it doesn't help me at all though, I just get more depressed
school was fucking torturous for me with the constant responsibility and never feeling like I was doing anything worth my time, and the people I thought were my friends (very little) completely abandoned me after it was over
getting good grades was literally all my life was about and it meant absolutely fucking nothing

I've been working on a book for a while; got 16007 words so far. Considering how I'm writing it in English I'm well aware that it'll be a mess under serious need for a good editor. But I'm still going at it. I mean, I was, I've fallen to procrastination yet again. I've even signed up for an unrelated story contest so I could get off my ass and sit it down again while I type, but even then I'm still putting it off.

If you want my recommendation, you might want to reconsider the style you're using for the story. Perhaps you're not too into narration? Description? Dialogues? Find your forte and exploit it as best as you want.

Totally go back and play things you missed from previous gens.

I'm 19 so I was born a bit too late to experience most of even the 6th and early 7th gen of consoles- but I've been going back and playing/collecting stuff. I played Timesplitters: Future Perfect for the first time last year, for example.

At the latest 2. I’ve never been the person to stay up the whole night, I’d rather go to sleep and play when I’m actually capable and not when I’m a zombie.

No worries. This is what English teachers are always on about when they say "did you really mean this" and shit like that in your papers. I've interviewed people for coveted positions and written recommendation letters before, so I know how important it is to be mindful of what you say because even the slightest unintentional ambiguity can make even the most well meaning of statements come off as dubious or even derisive.
What fandom?

>pideo gem board
>posts a movie

Son you missed almost everything good. Things are on the upswing for once imo but the majority of your teen years are some of the worst years for gaming, literally ever. I can barely rememebr any game worth playing from 2011-2016. The birth of big budget AAA mainstream pretty much murdered quality.

>If you want my recommendation, you might want to reconsider the style you're using for the story. Perhaps you're not too into narration? Description? Dialogues? Find your forte and exploit it as best as you want.

The main thing is making words flow naturally and typing enough words. It feels really hard to type stuff without it sounding forced or dragging out.

>planning
LOL

>school was fucking torturous for me with the constant responsibility and never feeling like I was doing anything worth my time
Not him, but that's probably because you weren't. If you just focused on doing good in classes everyone took, you didn't do anything. It's bullshit, but you have to go out of your way.

It doesn't matter if you got an A in writing class if two other guys did too AND they're on the debate team.

>The main thing is making words flow naturally and typing enough words. It feels really hard to type stuff without it sounding forced or dragging out.
That happens. I advise you not to read what you've written intermediately after writing it; you won't be in the right state of mind to be a proper judge of your own work. Take a break, maybe for the day and come back fresh to reread what you managed to write on your previous session. You'll find it's not as bad as you thought it was while you were working on it; trust me.

I'm sorry, is that a pairing or a piece of media? And what do you mean by "typing enough words?" Does your site of choice have a word limit or something?

This. I just went with the flow like most people. If I could go back to high school right now, I'd pick different classes. I literally can't get into other college/uni courses that I want because I didn't pick the right classes. I guess I could retake the exams for required subjects but fuck me that would take a lot of effort and motivation to cram years of lessons in a few months. I could still get into uni for free but I don't really want to take courses that I know I'll end up hating. I already dropped out once, don't want to repeat the same mistake again.

>Never had a job
>don't even have my drivers licence
>in my mid 20s
>still live at home
shit man, are you me? i just finished college but i'm looking for a part time before i go back to get my bach.
try to find a part timer dude. it will help out.

Most of the best fanfics or stories I've read have had a lot of words. Does that instantly make them better than short stories? No, but if you want to be the best then you've got to type like the best.

Worse thing I can think of is creating a fanfic that is cringe tier shit. It's hard enough to write about a fandom sometimes with the feelings of embarrassment that come with it without it being garbage tier as well.

I just want to write something that lives up to my own standards as well as the best one's written in said fandom.

What about advice on pacing?

Most things I've read are dialogue heavy but given the character I'm writing about doesn't interact with anyone for a while in the first chapter it feels like his inner monologue gives people less reason to care about the story.

Maybe I'm just bad at writing in first person who knows. Third person seems easier.

fuck extracurriculars, I don't want to be around people and dealing with homework and shit looming over my head 24/7 was already killing me inside
school was the biggest mistake of my life

Lucky Neets, can do whatever they want

I miss being able to do this. Can't be bothered to fuck up my sleep schedule as a salaryslave.

If this is your first time you should go for what's easier for you. Writing as a novice is hard enough as it is, no need to further challenge yourself. Safe that for when you have more experience.
You should find your own comfort zone rather than sticking to what you feel people will enjoy. Keep in mind you need to be satisfied with your own work over satisfying anyone else.
Once more your personal POV can fuck with your head. Keep in mind that writing takes much longer than reading, so you might feel that whatever you're working on is more tedious than it really is. Again, you need to read it over with a fresh head before deciding that your story has a problem.

I personally am a fan of taking my time and developing slowly paced scenes, but some people aren't. You also need to be good at it; don't extend a scene more than it needs to just because you think it isn't long enough. You have to say what you have to say, nothing more and nothing less.
Putting in filler for the sake of your imaginary audience should not be your top priority.

Sounds about par for the course for me.
Every term I say "this is the term where I stop procrastinating" and I always fall back on it and I'm never punished for it.

streaming.
no, i'm not joking, streaming is pretty good for playing backlogs. i started streaming and actually finish a game, it's been awhile since i actually beat a game. you dont need anything fancy dude, just get OBS, and just start. a mic would be good, nothing too expensive. i'm actually looking forward to playing some games now.

>you've got to type like the best
Why? Sure, you can take inspiration for bits of your writing style and presentation from them, like maybe "I liked how they portrayed softly falling snow with rhythmic metered prose and used more words with stressed syllables when the snow became a blizzard or some shit like that, so I'll try using it with volcanic ash because a volcano is in my story and it works with the themes" but why are you essentially saying "it should be long because the people I think are the best made theirs long?" The fic should be as long as it needs to be, no longer, and those considered "the best" know this even if subconsciously. You shouldn't push yourself to do something just because other people are doing it, then your writer's voice will be lost. I've edited recommendations from people I know absolutely adored their recommendee, but their letters contained the same buzzwords and vague statements as always because "that's what makes a good letter."

I think you should write for yourself and take as much time as you need and use as many or as little words as you want because you love the Creek fandom and you want to explore it, and then see if other people like what you bring to the table. I've seen 2 chapter stories with thousands of favorites before. If you write like others do, it'll be their thoughts and combinations of styles on the paper, not yours. And if those people's works exist, why should I read yours over theirs, if the style came from them first?

So I should stop trying to pander to tropes and just do my own thing?

Alright, will do that. Honestly I still feel like I suck but I suppose crying about it won't change anything.

all of em

I guess the problem is two fold.

One I want validation but part of me only wants it to cement that the things I produce are of good quality and I feel like anything I produce will pale in comparison to their work.

Second, how can I know my work is good? It's hard to do the things you want if they end up looking stupid, silly or out of character. I guess I'm afraid of other people's judgement.

>Wake up at 7AM
>Play handhelds in bed

The really dangerous thing about procrastination is that the leap to sheer apathy is easier to cross than you'd think. I had my procrastination go out of control and end up with me failing courses, then I figured I'd just try to arrange something with the prof and that naturally went nowhere due to the same procrastination, and after a bit of snowballing I ended up spending an entire year getting essentially nothing done towards my studies. I'd sign up on courses and basically let them rot with extremely little progress.

Everyone starts off by sucking man. Even great authors come to hate the first novels they ever published; novels that were approved and sold well even.
A writer's mind is fickle as all hell; this is going to sound strange but despite what people say about the creator being their best critic you can also be your worst one. Look at what you have rather than at what you think you might have and improve upon that, not over some unreachable ideal which will only frustrate you and maybe even force you do downright quit.
Take yourself as your main reference in regards to improvement.
Also, chill, be patient and do your best. Your best will keep getting better the more you practice, and it might take you years before you even notice the difference from the starting point to where you are now.
Don't be in a rush hoping to be one of the bests, and concentrate on being the best you can be. That might not be much right now, but it will be much more in the future.

That's nice. When I was neet, everyone except for my mom and pop kept pressuring me to get a job.

I try to make sure that videogames don't impact my sleep too much, though I'm unemployed so it isn't too hard for me to end up staying up really late playing vidya/browsing Cred Forums. I try to get to sleep around 1-2am and wake up at 9am so I don't waste the day in bed.

Full time job, but I want to be NEET. Dont care about girls or success. Just want to be neet forever, but it's not cheap.

I am now. only have enough money for 2 more months of bills, Ive sent out 50 applications and only heard back from 4 all rejected. I might have to join the military just to survive.

Thanks user. I am very impatient and I guess it's due to my high standards that I'm like that. Much like said I've become very apathetic towards a lot of the things I wanted to become good at since I'm scared of failing. Same with my artwork, which though I'm no professional I've been told I'm good at.

Consistency is the hardest thing for me and the fear of failure is something I'm trying to deal with.

I'm on a bit of a gambling situation here. No literally. Right now I'm studying, but by the looks of it it's not going to end well.
Now, my parents are pressuring me to pass and get a job, but they've also been very permissive. I don't know how they would react at me becoming a full time NEET; whether they'd go through with their threats or just let me leech off. I do know my brother would hate me for it though.

>good quality
Define this please, in a way that's truly objective.
>I feel like anything I produce will pale in comparison to their work
We all deal with what you're dealing with when we write, but it's the love of the act of writing and the process itself that keeps us going. Realistically, none of us are gonna be the next Shakespeare, Homer, or Joyce, but at the very least you should feel like your fic or work has a soul that came from you, and that you enjoyed writing it. Honestly I don't feel that love of writing itself from you as of now, especially if me and the other user had to tell you to "stop trying to pander to tropes and just do my own thing," and I think you need to think about if you're writing for the right reasons. Why are you a writer?
>How can I know if my work is good?
You can't, that's why you shouldn't worry about it. This is why I want you to define "good" in a manner that is objective, and maybe I should ask the same for "looking stupid, silly, or out of character." In my life, there was one point where I as a writer decided to stop giving a fuck and do what I want, not caring in the slightest about the consequences, and I shared the work which came from that at an interview. Some time later I found that I had been admitted to one of the most selective scholarship programs in my state because nobody ever did what I did at that interview (I even asked other interviewers if their interviewees did anything like it when I became one a few years later). Even if you're not the next Joyce, you should still do you because sometimes that "you" is something truly unique, and will make you proud of yourself in the process. Don't worry whether it's good, or since that's not completely possible, worry more about whether you can be proud of it.

Not anymore but have been on and off since highschool, 24 now.
Currently taking a physics class and a ceramics class at a CC 2 days a week and with no job feel like I'm not doing much with my extra 5 days.
Baby steps though, always feel WAY too guilty being a neet.

Very similar story here user.
Finally transferring out of CC in the fall and will be there I'm assuming 3 years as well for CS degree.
I worked a part time retail job for 2 years but have been out of that for almost a year now so the experience hardly matters and no employers will call me back.
Every day I tell myself to start a programming portfolio so recruiters will eventually think better of me but it never happens.

I was a pseudo-NEET after I dropped out of 9th grade (social anxiety, bullying, just not wanting to waste my entire day in a shithole, academic pressure even though I was the top student in my class, etc), self studied inbetween and got my high school degree regardless though. Then I tried going into college but I left it at a successful application, didn't show up even one day and only paid a little amount of money.

I'm 23 now, turning 24 this year, and I'm still a NEET. I sometimes work as freelance to buy games, and use up some inheritance money I have for survival that's lasted a few years (helps I live in a third world shithole and my parents pay for everything but food and internet) while I keep going through my purposeless days.

I've actually had a few friendships and relationships despite my eternal NEET status, but I didn't care too much for them and how much of a bother it is to mantain it all, so I've gone through the cycle of making and dropping them constantly quite a few times. Heck, I've been through cyclical depression, self loathing, unwarranted misanthrophy, dumb philosophical rabbit holes and hatred towards modern society and what the world has become so many times it's all become an habit by now.

As for the future holds, I really don't know. I'll probably an hero eventually. Lately I found most of my hobbies were getting old, especially vidya and VNs, so to mix it up in the hope of rekindling some untangible lost love and appreciation I started learning moonrunes and using that as motivation and pretense to fall into a daily cycle of waking up>working out>eating>studying>eating>playing vidya>sleep and see if I can feel anything in my old, rotting soul, at least some tangible sense of accomplishment. And it's sort of worked out, at least so far. I hope I won't go into a self destructive fit due to its inherent lack of meaning and drop it for long enough to not be able to go back to it.

Yuri is scary.

>sleep
i wonder what that is like

Who is this qt?

Was a NEET for two or three years, was nice at first but you get bored of life and spend most of your time in bed doing nothing. Did some part-time job to have something to do while earning some money.
Now I'm in an apprenticeship that allows me to lazy around a lot, not the greatest thing but since I also had my parents pressuring me into getting a job I could shut their mouths that way. And I still earn money to afford my vidyas.

whos the cute girl?

You're welcome user; happy to help.
Now, this is something that I haven't been able to apply as much as I'd like to, but you need to do it.
You need to do shit. Always. Find a moment in your day, any moment, to work on your art, your writing or whatever. This is hard as hell for me, specially without any external pressure. You need to fucking do something.
I have managed to accomplish discipline for lifting, as well as for reading every day at the very least 40 pages. But creating... that's when it gets hard. And that really sucks, but there's no magic trick or shortcut; we just need to get around to fucking working.

Now, a motivational thought disguised as a pessimistic one. It might help you.
No one, absolutely no one on the Internet, expect anything of you. They don't expect you to be good or to be bad. Not at all. They don't know who the hell you are. So, why should you fear their criticism? You're not letting your father or your mother down, or your heroes or your partner or anyone at all. If you fail, take it as a learning experience. Grow from it, become better. You can only make the same mistake so many times before you catch on. You will get better, you're practically designed for it. Humans adapt and improve, that's why we've lasted for so long. You're no different, and you have the potential to do great. You need to find out how, and most times it's through work.

>Define this please, in a way that's truly objective.

I don't know. Grammar and spelling I guess but also pacing, characterization that is consistent through the story (and isn't out of character from the source material). Good twist's and a story that takes into consideration the past and the present.

>Honestly I don't feel that love of writing itself from you as of now, especially if me and the other user had to tell you to "stop trying to pander to tropes and just do my own thing," and I think you need to think about if you're writing for the right reasons. Why are you a writer?

Because I like to express how I feel. I love knowing about people and how they work, their quirks and personalities and the justifications for why people do the things they do. I love all the subtle mannerisms that people showcase even subconsciously and showcasing that in a story interests me. What are people made off and what are they like?

Love is kind of another thing. Not even just cheesy love but two people caring about another in way that makes them feel less lost in the world..

It's hard to explain in words really.
