I was in school so when that was put on hold I essentially played video games like it was a job. I remember vividly playing Grand Theft Auto IV in one sitting for the Liberty City Minute achievement and I’m pretty sure I played through Master Chief Collection.

Do you look back on any aspects of it nostalgically?

I worked at the hospital, got burned out, and retired.

I don’t mean to sound insensitive but do you mind me asking what the tipping point for you was?

Warmsoder there is what you might call a “serial bullshitter”, so they’re probably just making it up. I’ve caught them lying a few times. It’s sad.

The week evening shut down:

Finished a vacation and was about to start a new job and then told not to come in for a while. They eventually mailed me a laptop but got like two weeks being paid to do nothing.

Matched with some lady on a dating app and were planning to meet but had to switch to a virtual date. We’re married now.

We just chatted initially but eventually we setup a virtual Friday movie night. At some point we had to meet but that was a few months later.

Went back to school. Graduated. Now, just like in 2008, I can’t find a job.

Like, how many times is this economy gonna fuck me?
