How do I get one?

I haven't been outside in about fifteen years. What have I played? Can't really remember.

I've been playing Morrowind for like a month. Kind of burned out, but nothing else is really interesting to me right now.

got a referral for a job

failed out of grad school because I played it too much and I don't regret it

I graduated college in 2012 and immediately went to waste my life playing Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2, both are games that I hate

is there manga about neethood that actually realistic aka have no misaki? No I don't care that she was using MC for her own pleasure in the novel, that shit is unrealistic as fuck regardless

Autistic e-girls are one of the best things
the modern internet created though.

that shit is unrealistic as fuck

it's not if you're attractive

I think the dude who did Kaiji has a manga about a turbo wizard wage slave.

bitch's fake as fuck

I played all those games you can't cuz you're too tired to play from that glasses asshole manager screaming in your ear.

realistic neet story

sounds boring as fuck

grab a stack of logs and a few stacks of wheat to craft bread
find a new cave entrance when i wake up and still be in the mines 12 hours later when i went to sleep
gods i was strong then

Who is the bitch supposed to be cosplaying?

TF2, Torchlight II, Ziggurat, and the Borderlands games

Haven't you heard? Everyone is NEETmaxxing; everyone is becoming a hikikomori for teh sake of aesthetics. I'm such a rot-pilled hikicel.

Implying they actually have the 'tism

Lole, lole lmao. I bet you do too, just not the superpower kind.

Who knows, maybe you're right; bitch kinda has FASface.

Do you think it's never too late for a NEET to go back to school and get a degree or should I just focus on getting a shitty job

I’ve been a neet before it became cool

I'm female and look like that.

It's never too late for two reasons; one, I'm in a pretty alright office job and for a lot of people I have no fucking clue if they're 25 or 45. Two, if you have the ambition to get back to school, it's better to lean into that ambition and start getting traction than it is to wallow forever.

stop caring about your future and live day by day
nothing matters the second you die
do you know anything about your great grandpa? probably not.

WHERE IS MY MISAKI?! ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive seen former inmates that are in their late 50's and up go to school. Unless your goal was being an athlete its not too late to learn something new, but you kinda gotta overcome your neet struggles so as to actually engage with your professors and classmates and shit. Whether you should get a job first or not though depends on your financial situation but I recommend that if you can avoid getting a shitty job then dont get one but given these hard times were coming in it seems thats inevitable but again it depends on you.
Also dont listen to this faggot cause that doesnt answer your actual question, cause you CAN enjoy school life day by day depending on what you do there. Like I got a Fine Arts degree, I aint getting anywhere with that shit but I enjoyed myself and what I learned and gotta better appreciation for shit like drawings and animation and therefore better appreciation of vidya

I didn't a lot of games, i remember watching A LOT of Law and Order: SVU. Its also when i saw NHK for the first time, i guess you can guess how that went. Hint: lots of crying.

Whatever you do, don't listen to this sub 90 retard, or ever make the same mistake he did.

I got a Fine Arts degree

In fact I advise you do the opposite of everything he says.

I'll be in my mid 30s soon. Misaki never came for me.

I would play MMORPG because I could nolife farm.

It's pretty grim, I work at a social service office. A lot of people coming in are young adults getting on bennies. I don't know how this country is going to sustain itself unless it has immigration, because all these young adults aren't going to be doing the jobs they should be doing to keep society running. I use to be a NEET but I still had some fire in my eyes which I managed to get my life around. But all these young people are NEETs with soulless eyes.

yea, that was the point of the story

YOU WILL NEVER BE A WOMAN.
YOU ARE ALL IN YOUR MISERABLE 30 SOMETHING YEAR OLD AND STARTING TO BE BALDING AND STINKING.

want to go back to school

keep thinking to myself I'll be X years old by the time I finish

think about how at that point my life is already over even though I know well enough it isn't and lose hope and just fall back into neetdom

How many people are just starting a new career in their thirties. How many people are just getting married in their thirties. How many people are only now having their first kids in their thirties. And here I am thinking there's no point.

I turn 33 this week. I spent about six months NEETing it up in a little one-bedroom apartment in my uncle's backyard a decade ago after chronic illness flared up right after I broke up with a long-term girlfriend. I was able to rebuild from there from grocery store bagboy to office whelp refilling coffee machines to basic ticket work. Now I work from home doing meetings all day and make 140k a year. It's possible, but you have to believe in yourself. I already believe in you.

during covid me and my boy played tarkov every fucking day. wake up, get on game, play until bed time. repeat. it was ridiculous we got so good at tarkov.

bruh you're gonna turn 40 either way, might as well be 40 with a degree

Nigger I got a free ride and got a free 3,000 check in the mail every semester for like 5 years, and that was just for attending a basic community college. I didnt even get for my high IQ or whatever bullshit is was just basic Pell Grants. Anyone who passes on that shit is a retard

I'm very lucky that my parents haven't kicked me out. I've been a NEET for over 10 years now and have never had a job in my life. I have no chance of ever joining normalfags as I doubt anyone would hire me other than maybe harsh manual labor jobs that my now weakened body can handle.

That's still not for a bit over a decade at least

fallout new vegas

I wish Bungie didn't shoot themselves in the foot like 15 times in a row :(

six months is a vacation

oh then you're definitely fine
your 20s are for making fuckups that take a decade to fully recover from because that's when you have a spare decade to bounce back
everyone has a relationship they screwed up or a class they flunked or a job they pissed away

But the time will pass either way. You're not wasting it by doing something else someone did at a different time of their life. My freshman roommate deliberately took two years off after high school to work at a ski resort fucking and drinking all the time then went back once he could lock in a little more. People live their lives at different rates.

Sadly, humanity's finest artform, the JRPG, is only properly enjoyed in this state.

FUCK OFF MISAKI

put in a good amount of time into RPGs. specifically ps2 rpgs. played SMT SJ, SMT DDS, Persona 3 Fes. I got super into Age of Empires 2 at the time as well. I accumulated every game I could for free, at some point the internet got shut off.

World of Warcraft back when it was good. 8 - 16 hours a day depending on patch cycle and how good the content was. If it was an expansion release then I'd do a 20/4 cycle, play for 20, sleep for 4, then repeat for a couple days.
I would never do it again with any MMO.

You think you do but you most likely do not. Chicks like that are crazy, a romantic partner will not break you free from issues, especially if they have similar problems themselves.

Average Japanese Woman.

Chicks like that are crazy

that's why i want one

I genuinely can't even remember what I was playing when I was a NEET. TF2, probably.

Perhaps the most soul-crushing experience I've had with regards to video games as I've grown older is the realization that I don't like JRPGs nearly as much as I thought I did.

No, it's not over yet
Places like McDonalds are absolute dogshit for first choices because there's way too much competition, he has to compete with a bunch of zit faced teens and losers like himself, it's easy to lose self esteem being rejected by McDonalds, but that goes away once you realize the food industry sucks ass, you're being a subservient little bitch to nameless assholes of every demographic.
Honestly, the better way to go would be to develop skills that can be of use to others, hell even do a traineeship, but those pay like shit and you're moreso in it for the experience to get a better job
It's not easy, boomer advice is very hit or miss, but it's doable

Education level?

Find a Temp agency, how old is he too? If he's still around college age maybe even go for some paid internships if you can find one.

As someone that's been in this situation,yes but the romance isn't real like in anime, they just help you because they feel bad.

He claims he can't even get a job at McDonalds or places like that.

anyone saying this shit is literally lying.
its never been easier to get a job, the hard part is actually finding a place to live.
ppl paying like $300/wk to share half their bedroom with a stranger.

"neet girl who avoids the male gaze" my ass

Why do these type of girls either tend to have jet black hair, white hair, or unnatural hair color like blue instead of normal brown hair or blonde?

low self esteem
mental illness
impulsiveness

I pretty much just play Dark Souls 1 over and over again.

I was both a NEET and a gigapoorfag so I played a lot, and I mean a lot, of DOOM, both single player and multiplayer, everything from vanilla mappacks to total conversion overhauls. DOOM is the lifesaver of poorfags with nothing but shitty laptops

I'm in my mid-20's and decided to go back to college after being a neet for "a few" years--I've been enrolled for a while now. I occasionally strike up an acquaintanceship with some of my classmates, if only for the duration of the semester. I'm older than most of them, and I've noticed that a commonality between them is just how demoralized with respect to their age most of them are. They really do say shit like "I'm already 20, it's unironically Joever...". They also say shit like "based" and "redpilled", which is kinda weird (and a bit of a pet peeve)to hear irl, but that's a tangent.

Another thing I've notice is that most people in my generation revel in being "pathetic", for lack of better phrasing--at least online anyway. It's a trend I've come across online, so it might be purely jocular/ironic (to some degree). It feels like everyone idolizes being a loser for whatever reason. Normalfags have also latched onto the idea of being autistic, they think it's something cool.

early scene girls are hitting 40 now

Was pretty big into wow raiding in WOD when I got a job (not my first but i was neet for a whie) but I started at 4am 5 days a week so I basically just said gtg dudes enjoy Legion
I lost 30kg in that job it was insane
It also turned me into an alcohol but life is about compromise

I lost 30kg in that job

Wtf,a non obese person can die from that

I'm sure you can put two and two together anon lol. I was pushing 110kg iirc and I'm not tall, also intense physical labour is not really the same as literally starving yourself

Another day is coming to an end, one void of any significant events. How long am I going to repeat days like this?”

Yes, refresh the page again. Perhaps this time it will fill that void in your soul. Or perhaps it will only remind you how easily the will can be broken by convenience.

Your friends or family are supposed to introduce you to your first job.Your parents aren't losers are they ?

why do zoomers worship millenial culture is current culture that bad?

What's so wrong with liking Y2K frutigger faggotry? Anyone can dress like a wigger if they want to. Nigga my style is straight up wiggerlicious, you feel me?

It's not as though every previous generation doesn't mine the past for what they think is cool, it's usually what happens when both the young of that era grow up and go on a nostalgia trip and the young of the modern day are old enough to rediscover the old.

True, but usually that's within the context of updating something that went out of style into a more modern fashion to create something that would fit in within the broad pastiche of modern styles.

There is no modern style in the year 2025 for the youth. There are no scenes, no subcultures. None of that. Just the Internet. That's the bigger problem: everything is being stolen from the youth and being accommodated towards the older generations (boomers, Gen X). Also the wealthy on an economic scale but culturally everything is fucking ancient and no lasting new styles are taking their place.

Misaki

She's like 40 now

Her show was set in the early 00s/mid 00s (depends on the medium) and she's 18 there.

Can you really blame them? Millennial culture was the last genuine one

enter an office for your job interview

see this and she says she's the interviewer

What do?

just leave because you have 98% chance of not getting the job anyways.

answer is nepotism

kys

show up on time for your interview.
literally that easy.
i interview people for jobs all the time and literally only 20% of ppl make it to an interview, solely because people just ghost the interviewer or never show up for the fucking interview.
ive had dumbcunts put their entire resume in their email subject field, i've had retards send applications via whatsapp text (ayo gimme a job lol).

its not that fucking hard.
fuck, lot of jobs if you stay longer than 6 months you get promoted to management just because you actually stuck around.

I'm a 19 year old half Japanese girl from mother's side and look like that with my short black hair and petite slender body.

Please stop teasing us.

Have you ever dressed up as Misaki?

i just wish i was smart so i could make money while being a NEET, poverty is getting tiring

What's the difference between emo girls and scene girls?

People I care about confronted me about it in a concerned manner (not my parents), and convinced me to see a shrink who then convinced me to go back to uni. All my neet habits are still there though because 2bh I don't think I truly desired to end the hikki existence, merely accepted that I "had" to.

There are no scenes, no subcultures. None of that. Just the Internet.

Specifically the modern homogenized Internet where everyone is corralled into the same five websites. Pre-conglomoration Internet absolutely had scenes and subcultures, but in the era of "content" anything that organically grows into something unique gets milked by leeches and grifters or, worst case, goddamned corporate Twitter accounts.

Unironically the only place I see small, niche scenes developing is Anon Babble, where a handful of autists can get obsessed about something and draw in others with discussion threads and OC. You'll never see a group of unconnected Twitter users group up and write a full-length visual novel to spite a game they don't like, because the platform isn't designed for longform conversations between a group of fluctuating size, and because the userbase has no coherency or common ground. It's white noise with the occasional blast of ragebait to keep users engaged enough to continue scrolling.

How do you guys even recognize that she's cosplaying?

I had to go outside for something the other day and I saw an autistic looking girl wearing a Sonic shirt and I became sad the rest of the day imagining her being my girlfriend.

Why are frogfuckers the saddest people in the world?

I ended uni at 28, found a real job a 36.
Getting decent money but commute is like 3 hours a day (take a train and a bus, so I can sleep or play some vydia, or just relax). Waiting a raise before moving closer to work, but shit is finally getting together somehow.
I was not alone tough, I have a supportive "rich" gf (female) since uni. I'm one of the lucky anons, but you can do it too. I believe in you, no homo.

A bunch of BYOND anime MMOs. Dragon Ball Finale and Bleach Las Noches primarily. Grindy pieces of shit. Finale in particular came to suck balls as the owner implemented moronic combat nuances like knockback and stat calculations.

I watched Kaiji.
This speech from Tonegawa put some morality in me. Lifes on a timer so I didnt want to use it all never having sex,not having a good relationship,not having a home I had under control and "waking up" to a bunch of problems and worries I couldve prepped for when I was younger.

The result? I still live with my parents honestly the market is not designed rn imo to be living by yourself and my folks dont charge me rent or anything nor am I dating anyone but I can move out to at least an apartment when I want and ive got $16 WFH job. Im not making bank but if shit goes down I am ready for it and I do have a social life so im satisfied where im at.

Here's your misaki gf bro

Why, just why? Surely she feels disgusted. If the filth in her home has gotten out of hand, why not just leave it all behind and move to some internet cafe. I can't imagine why a nip would willingly put up with that level of filth when they have plenty of alternative. Hell, I'm pretty sure jirai fag kids are literally homeless and they don't get fucked around with while they're sleeping in the streets.

nta but the author of the novel said that he wasn't trying to make any "point" when he was writing the novel. NHK was just him writing about his life through a character. the reason why he created Misaki in the first place wasn't because he was trying to send some message about escapism. he created her simply because the novel's publisher said it wouldn't sell without a cute girl on the cover. he wrote the manga adaptation after the novel and it literally ends with Satou declaring that he will always go after Misaki no matter what

were

Anyway I don't play the same game over and over because I'm not autistic.

The only time I was a full neet it was beta minecraft. Stopped playing when I started working.
I miss it. I tried returning to it after I lost my mojang account but it looks way too different from how it used to be and I dont feel like paying 40 fucking dollars for it.

Only went to college for a year before dropping out.

Absolutely no clue on what I would want to do if I even had the courage to go back.

Stuck in a middling job for the what will most likely be the rest of my life.

Can't even afford a tiny house that's not falling apart and surrounded by coons.

I really wish I had tried harder in my youth. I fucked everything up so hard.

Ego death (not drug-induced). It was quite the trip, it was like the whole thing was beamed straight into my head. I struggled to make sense of things for a few days until I came out of it with a renewed will.

I boast to others that the change was entirely through my own willpower, but without that push I'd still be in the same place I was a few years ago.

The momentum from the ego death would've gone to waste had I not taken the initiative to immediately get caught up on all the shit that had passed me by--in particular, getting my license and starting college. I used to be very anxious and didn't think I'd have the nerves to be able to drive, but I got my license--didn't half-ass it either.

I think I've come a long way since then, but there's still more I have to do. I shouldn't let myself get complacent, I'd say that's more or less how I ended up having life pass me by for all those years.
