Made money with Ragnarok private servers. Not much but I was able to afford vidya hardware thanks to it. I also had fun doing it.

>how did you monetize your love for video games.
I get paid to test, design, and write for game companies from time to time.
testing games though can get boring as you tend to replay the same level alot.
designing/writing for games comes with facing criticism since everyone thinks they know what is best.
overworking is very common and while it's not mandatory in some companies, nearly everyone does it and not doing so comes with social stigma in most game companies.
the best advise I can give you is this:
if your mind, body, and soul isn't completely and fully in dedicating your whole life around it then you will never last.
The best alternative for you then would be either making youtube videos or streaming.

>OP pic.
>be shit and a failure at life.
>blame vidya.

You know, it's absolutely possible to develope interests for things other than vidya, even if you grew up your entire life just playing them.
But that would require months of meditation and discipline to develope a tulpa, which a normal human being will never even consider in their lifetime.
At least, that's how I went from an unmotivated NEET fat slob to a digital artist who makes enough money to sustain himself without government help.

Graduated from my Doctorate this year, slept through most of high school cause I was up late playing CS.

>tulpafags
Your kind isn't extinct yet? Bravo.
I always found the concept fascinating.

I grew up vidya nerd, attended CS programme so that I can become game dev, dropped out because stupid, spent a literal decade depressed on Zig Forums doing nothing else, except a few userscripts, got my first boring enterprise dev job based on just the above experience, and used newly acquired experience to slowly go into better and better-paying jobs, until I became an independent consultant.

I haven't played vidya in 3 years, or been here in 4.

I love video games but I still ended up with a doctorate just because I'm not a neet

He's not really blaming vidya, just his retarded video game addicted brain.

Preferences and likes are learned and can be relearned

Before they destroyed botting in RS, I made bank doing it
Before Youtube turned into ultragiganiggajews with monetization and video deletion, I made bank with random ass gameplay videos
When I say bank I mean bank for a college kid, it wasn't GREAT money, but it was nice not to have to burgerflip for a few years

Jumped on the Youtube money train before it became the shithole it is today. Made about 800k in 4 years not counting my actual day job, reinvested it into real estate and now I'm a professional landlord working part time hours at my old job on the side. Taking in a cozy 50k a year and sitting on about mil and a half of real estate. Still upload vids like once a month but not monetized anymore, I just do it for fun now.

We're getting there. I jumped on the bandwagon when /mlp/ was at its peak and tulpafags kept spamming their countless links on the board until every type of tulpa discussion was banned (to this day).
I find that they're a great way of introspection and motivation; for the latter, I created a reward-system when acquiring new skills in drawing or new hobbies entirely, inclusive of a type of hypnotization where I tell my tulpa to release euphoric hormones in my brain whenever I make progress at a skill-related task.
I don't claim to have complete control over my mind, but for anyone wanting more control over what goes on in their brain, tulpas are a great start.

>tell my tulpa to release euphoric hormones in my brain
I still refuse to believe shit like this is real. Tulpafags feel like they are living in a different dimension.

>Boomers and Jews completely destroy the economy, social mobility and jobs market
>I-it's the videogames, i'm telling you!
go fuck yourself bootlicker

I get fucked by older men while I play vidya

I don't know whether anything I have said corresponds to a physical reality of my understanding, it's just that that's what I describe to her and whatever the consequence I'll have to accept at face value when it affects me accordingly- else the "illusion" is gone.

Shit nigger, I don't even understand a SINGLE THING in your post. Sorry, galaxy brain user.
If you're happy, please go on.

Why are you here now, then?

I like to draw and got paid to make art assets for a commercial game. Working on my own right now and it's going okay.

Also, his sister is a sociopath. All surgeons are. They kind of have to be.

It’s real. Everything you experience gets filtered through your perception. Your perception is built from your experiences. You have control over what you experience. Reality is merely an illusion.

that's not very accurate, since Adachi was pushed to study because of his parents, and he resented it because it led to him having no social ties whatsoever

If only you knew you can do those things without giving yourself brain damage or delusions.

Not true. Everyone has their own way of doing things and some people can’t simply follow the norm. Your brain will always gravitate to whatever will cause that dopamine to skyrocket but you make the decision.

dropped out of my computer engineering degree, $19k in debt send help will prostitute my bussy

You cannot improve your industriousness personality trait. If you were born with bad genetics you are fucked.

I used to love playing video games, they filled me with joy, now over the years I gravitated towards creating stuff, animations, edits, actual games, whatever, you name it, now whenever I play video games, I rarely enjoy myself as much as I used to, and keep getting to urge to WORK on a new thing to upload to my YouTube channel.

I'm doing fine with it so far, it's slowly getting there, made around $300 off it despite only having about 20 vids uploaded. And the fact that it's more of a shitposting channel ranging from video games to real life events as well but with "high quality" as some people in the comments told me is even more surprising.

Channel? Or at least hint at the content you do.

>be a failure
>blame genetics

“Master race” indeed.

Of course, that has to be it. If I can't get shit done it has to be anything but my own fault! All those millions of creative types who spend years doing what they enjoy and get good at it in the process must have won the genetic lottery to do so. It can't possibly be because I'm a cynical little bitch that can't enjoy anything and gives up before the starting line, no sir. It has to be because I've scientifically proven my genetics are bad, and thus, that I'm retarded.
Thanks, user. What would I do without you.

>A dwarf can be an NBA player if he practices hard enough
this is how retarded you sound

Talent is a real thing. I don't know why people want to debunk it so much.

I gravitate towards being lazy and cutting corners, but I am a smooth talker so I got a decent job.

A dwarf won't aspire to be an NBA player because he's smart enough to know his limits. Meanwhile none of you defeatist genetics fags even know how your own brain works and give up before you even attempt to do something with your life. It's fucking pathetic, honestly.

so just because his sister is a surgeon you assume its a white family?
jesus christ, racist much?

Tried to “meditate” and just fell asleep. How exactly does one “meditate”? Close your eyes and think of nothing? Think of something but very intently? Just normally think like I already do 99.9% of the time I spend awake? They never fucking explain in detail how to do that shit, simply “just meditate bro”

>A dwarf won't aspire to be an NBA player because he's smart enough to know his limits
Yes and someone with low industriousness doesn't aspire to be a surgeon because he also knows his limits. It's the same thing. You are a retard, stop posting

Show me your DNA test that proves you're a failure capable of achieving nothing then. I'll wait.
