>25 is old
It is basically when your "real" life starts ending and turns into the boring post-game devoid of content, unless you're in the <1%, and even then aging will catch up to youThere's a reason why old elites do this Epstein island craziness, there's only so much you can have in life
>>750564694Imo it's the opposite, your life starts at 30. So much to reflect and understand. Your understanding of life was a phantasma. End game is when you start to have end game problems.
Haha...
>>750564170delusional boomer life ends at 22 after that it's a race to the death
>>750564772It all depends on what you did until that point, if you were a loser all that time you can't just spring up to life after you turn 30. And many zoomers and late millennials basically never had the opportunity.
>>750564694Zoomer hands typed this.
>>750564694I would be happy NEETing forever if the social pressures weren't so hard against it. After years of begging from my parents, I'm about to marry my fiancee so we can get started on a family, and I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm going to ruin her life. I don't want to be married. I don't want to be a dad. I barely even wanted a girlfriend. I'm just going through the motions to not be considered an aging failure.
>>750564170She's 25??How old she was in CS1?
35 is the time when you start finding your first job.
>>750564170I mean your life is basically over after that
>>750564170>the veteran "old man" joins the party>complains about his back all the time>"uugh I can't follow you young'uns...">participated in multiple wars>is secretly a legendary figure>every single soldier of the kingdom respected him>"I'm due for retirement, but one last grand adventure with you guys is fine by me!">check age>30 years old
>>750565334Grow a fucking spine then. Once you hit 30 people don't give a shit, they either assume you're gay or a fuccboy and you have no reason to care what they think either way. I knew from the very first time I dated that I hated that shit and wanted nothing more than to walk away from it, so I did and never looked back. It takes resolve but has its benefits if you're otherwise functional.T.41 hermit arch wizard
>>750565631>everyone thinks your gayi wish i was gay then i would have a companionship instead being a kissless virgin
>>750564694Correct and also wrong.It's when society stops forcing you to constantly do new things. Your mandatory schooling period has ended, and so has your college time. You now enter the job market and from this point onward, no one gives a single shit anymore what you do with your life as long as you show up to work on time, finish your tasks and pay your bills.If you are the type of person that has no internal drive to do new things on your own, then your life basically ends at this point because society allows you to just get dragged along by inertia from this point onwards.If you have the drive to do things, then nothing much changes. You only lose like 1-2 hours per day compared to your school time, and you might even gain some hours compared to your college time (assuming you actually did your homework and projects in college instead of trying to pass by just being physically present).On top of that, you now have the money to actually do things.
>>750564170Sharon is trolling here (as always). She's also the best character in the series. Also, anyone who thinks adults don't go out and have fun doesn't really understand who actually has money to do things in society.
>>750565334then break up with her. if you already know you don't want any of it, you'll just bring misery onto everyone involved in it.
>>750565750Have to at least give my parents a grandkid before I dip
>>750565706If you can't deal with living alone then suck it up and prepare yourself for all the shit that married life brings you or be one of those chucklefucks who crash from one disastrous "situationship" to the next because they're convinced being whipped by lunatics is still preferable to being comfortable with your own company. I'm just saying there is another way.
>>750565707I hate the fact I've gone to college at all. I know college days don't exactly look like in the movies but I had NO LIFE there at all, basically a NEET lifestyle already with the exception of fucking around in class every once in a whileEveryone would tell me "should have gotten a job then" as if getting a job somehow gives you a starter package of a social life and relationships
>>750565878Being a Chad full of situationships sounds like heaven on Earth, you get regular poon while not having to deal with all the burden of relationships. It's crazy that I've met guys who live like this and their complaints were that none of the girls they were fucking wanted to be their gfs
>>750565874don't ruin a child's life just because your parents can't be arsed to get a hobby, anon
>>750565963>ruining a kids life by bring him to the real worldhe'd be a better father than the deadbeats we have in our society.
ITT: Boomers in denial.
>>750565879>had ok school life>expected college life to be better>it became much worse>now I'm 31 yo neetI wish I was able to do better choices in my life
>>750566032>Agreeing with Aaron on anything
>>750565574Raven from tales of vesperia was my first exposure to this. And tbf, he does kind of look 30 in hindsight, but he acts like he's 60 and it threw me off so bad.
>>750564170Why the fuck is Olivier everywhere, but he left my party before the fight against Phantom B?
>>750566052My life ended in high school because of my childish appearance and puberty giving me a retard voice. And my parents didn't give a shit, all they cared about was the grades and they basically saw no correlation whatsoever with the fact that my life became lonely and miserable and that I no longer gave a shit about studying.
>>750566052>HS was an absolute nightmare>college was okay, didn't really have any friends or relationships but at least I wasn't being bullied anymore>work is okay, I get a lot of money and people like me>still alone thoughnot what I wanted from life, but at least there was an upwards trajectory. I kinda doubt it will improve much from here on out though and it's still fairly disappointing.
>>750564170>25Get that dinosaur out of here.
>>750566191kek, similar for me. the only thing my parents cared about was academic performance and they'd sabotage my social life to make sure I spent more time studyingnow they whine that they want grandchildren but where are those supposed to suddenly come from
It's pretty funny that after all the >25 is oldjokes throughout the series, all of the party members from the first three arcs are now getting up there. Can't wait until best girl Towa officially becomes a boomer in the next game or two.
>>750564694many people live through life not realizing high school was the main chapter of the game, the only time you could meaningfully find love and experience things. So many people fall for the post game grind scam that lands them a wife that feints love for them and divorce rapes them later
>>750565574reminds me of RE:Life, kek>guy is 27>takes a drug so he can look 17 and go back to HS >constant reminders that he is 27 and thus not young anymore, he can't just keep up with these children!>cannot even run 50 meters without immediately cramping without first warming upespecially weird since nips seem to age slower
>>750565996He really wouldn't be. This is largely a misconception. The real world is garbage. Nobody wants it. Our entire society is built on trying to ignore the fact nothing matters and everything is shit.
>>750566303Mine don't pester me about family or anything because they would assume since teenage years that I'm asexual and they don't consider intimacy a basic human need. They would also micromanage and oversee the few relationships I do have (like the "approved" classmates I'm allowed to hang out with back in the day) so pretty sure that even if I had somehow found a gf back in high school days, they would have put that relationship to an end.I'm not saying they could do anything about the people instantly negatively reacting to my voice and appearance, but if you have a satisfying social life you'll get good academic performance to go with it as well. Nuking your social life just to squeeze out a few more points beyond your natural ability is so pointless.
>>750566445jesus christ go outside.
>>750566458it's kinda of a shame that so many men who figured out what actually matters in life and would make good fathers will never get the opportunity to be one.
>>750566493Going outside serves to confirm exactly that, what are you planning to find out there that serves as your argument?
>>750566445You know how anti-natalism and rampant child hating was basically the default online attitude in the 2000s and 2010s? I also despise the more recent reactionary right-wing attitude of being so concerned for fertility rates and acting like no one could possibly have children without care or for selfish reasonsYeah I'm pretty sure that gypsies in Europe who breed like rats do it out of concern for TFR
>>750566552We must adapt India's ways and breed with anything and everything. It's the way god intended or something.
>>750564170it's called a christmas cakethey're thrown out after 25
Don't fall for life's scams people, find purpose
People who were 25 in 2000 are 51 now. 25 IS old. Life IS that brief.
>>750565104I went from 28yo NEET living with mom, no work experience and scared of driving to having a cushy IT job, my own car and my own place at 31. It's possible. Still have to fix my social anxiety somehow, I thought doing better in life would fix it but nope.
>>750566552>>750566618it's especially stupid with the recent advancements in robotics and AI.humans as a resource which you need to not get taken over by your more numerous neighbors will become way less relevant.the transition period is really fucking ass and will probably get even worse for alphas and betas (kek I hope they skip that name for their sake).they'll grow up in a society where everyone is old as fuck and they barely have any peers.
>>750566654Holy shit I'm stupid, I only just know understand the meaning
>>750566708>Holy shit I'm stupid>only just know understand the meaningyesjust know
>>750565707I have vastly more time now than I did in college, where I spent an absurd amount of hours studying and doing classwork. I look back on myself at that period and wonder how I could have worked so hard, I'm glad I did it but man is it nice to just get home after a day of work and not have to worry about anything.
>>750566552Its actually funny when you think about it. It is basically impossible to have a child in the 1st world and raise it with worse conditions than the average human child. Even if you tried to give it the average expected childhood there are systems in place to stop you and take your child from you and raise it to a higher standard for you.
>>750566767it's insane how much time we waste in an utterly useless education system instead of doing anything of value
>>750566767yeah, same. my college time was lectures in the morning, lab projects in the afternoon, homework in the evening and then the whole weekend was writing lab reports.my semester break was 12 hours of studying for exams every day.I have no idea how I did that back then. it also didn't really pay off either, I work in a completely different field, 90% of what I did during my studies is irrelevant to my life.I definitely could have skipped that self-imposed slavery and still arrived at the same point in life anyway.it's also very nice to be able to stop caring about something after clocking out instead of always having that nagging voice in my head which tells me I should be studying right now
>>750564170I've been feeling like an old man ever since I was 19T. 29 year old
>>750564694The elites are actually retards who fell for their insecure hag wives>You see rich husband, you should replace all those thin and young maids for over 50 years old morbid obese african women>You see Rich husband you can just go to some island, do some embarrassing roleplay shit with someone that you will kill after the act then you and your wealth will crawl back to me the next day. You wouldn't want an entire world full of young women you could choose over me trust meNotice how everything is designed to please a misandrist system. Actually before real riches had FREEDOM and travel anywhere to select a woman with good genes, of course before the matriarchal mkultra on rich sons the men used to do this instead of being isolated somewhere and marrying the typical rich hag
>>750566654On discount after 25, thrown out on the 30th
>>750564772>your life starts at 30No, it's when your life ends and you get blackpilled about all the info and shit advices the boomers fed you to make sure you are worse than them
>>750566052Such is lifeDont want to die but dont really got a reason to be alive
Your life ends (or starts) when you realize what pensions and taxes are, how much they take from you.That's when you will either become a nihilist, angry old man or you can keep your composure and youthfulness. Yes, if you have a decent health life is 90% about money. I am turning into a sad old man..
>>750566997>Dont want to die but dont really got a reason to be alivekek, that sums my life up way too well.I don't want to die, but there is also nothing to really live for or look forward to right now.
I want a good job. A nice quiet place. A good enough looking girl to fuck pregnant over and over. Kids to raise.I gave up on that years ago, but I still feel this yearning.
>my face when trading for a living>my face when no Shekelstein breathing down my neck(And before you ask: to be successful absolutely don't gamble on a stock going up or down. You need to trade directional neutral)
>>750567153I have the job and the place, but the girl part is pretty tricky, and by now I'm so old I doubt it will still happen, no matter what I try.
>>750567185fucking madman
>>750566358Working in a office for a decade with no physical exercise while also smoking a pack a day will do that to you.
>>750567153>>750567201I may actually get a gf soon and I have my own place that I inherited from my parentsNothing special but the hustle culture is hilarious when it comes to trying to tell you what women want. Women don't give a shit if you work so hard and put so much effort, they just want to see the end results. If they cared about the effort, they'd be men. I've known attractive guys from rich families who also got their place from their parents, were either jobless or got their gig through connections alone, you think women weren't into them?
>>750564170Once you start nearing 30 for the average person their body is around half of what it used to be.
Why does fiction worship youth yet make immortals/ageless entities the villains, and shill the idea that deities, angels, gods etc. are actually jealous of mortals and want to get old and suffer in misery just like us? Surprising amount of stories out there where protagonists just give up their divinity and age and die like mortals.
>>750565631>they either assume you're gay or a fuccboyyou wishit's more likely they think you are a pedo
>>750567351>Working in a office for a decadehe only worked there for 3 months thoughbut fair point on the smoking I guess
>>750567542that's mostly their own fault though. you won't be able to become a professional athlete anymore, but if you put at least a bit of effort into staying in shape you can easily extend the window where you're fit till your mid 50s
>>750567634probably just cope.the author misses their youth, which is why they glorify it, and is also envious of beings who'd have perpetual youth, which is why they paint them as the villains and make them give up on the immortality.
>>750567486women wait at the finish line, yes
>>750567849Manga artists aren't exactly helping, smoking like a factory and drinking alcohol all the time.
>>750567929They didn’t used to be allowed to do that it’s pretty much the reason modern dating is so ass lol>yeah bro can you like get a house or something yeah I know I dated other dudes without houses when I was younger and hotter but (You) need a house>no no blowjobs that’s icky I have my 2.5 children we will now have sex on Christmas and your Birthday only
>>750568018it's kinda understandable, too.eternal youth would fix all my problems. given enough time, there's basically nothing I care about that I wouldn't be able to eventually achieve.the main problem in life is that you're on a timer and windows of opportunity close fairly quickly and then never come back.I'd like immortality and eternal youth, too
>>750568140Have you considered the Good Word (tm) of our lord and savior Jesus Christ (r) you can be totally immortal if you just donate a tithe every Sunday and you can come to our service but you need to be married or we’ll ostracize you ok :3
>>750568041Pretty much.Things went to shit when women were no longer expected to contribute anything towards a man's success but allowed to just harvest it and then move on to the next one.Basically an endless reaping while never sowing anything.
>>750564170God I wish I died when I was 25
>>750564170I bought my first home when I was 25, 50% paid in cash. My life since then has just been working a simple part time job and gaming without stress and that's doing to be what I do until I die. I basically finished life.
