I beat pikmin for the first time my freshman year of college. My roommate was a meleefag. A lot of Gamecube games I never played as a kid.

When I was melting down in my Calculus retake semesters Painkiller Black Edition kept me sane.

What major requires you to take calculus?

Computer Science. Took 6 years after some major flipping, but got my degree and a good job, so worth it.

How much debt did you rack up?

15k. I was able to avalanche most of it the last two years. I only pay 50 bucks a month. I'd pay the rest off, but I'm planning on a move soon and I'd like a bit of extra cushion money.

I got into Guilty Gear XX in my freshman year, and was appointed president of the nerd club in the same year. I was able to have Guilty Gear running at every weekly game night we held, and eventually got my friends reasonably well into it.
Two of them, at least, still play and one of the two is pretty involved in the tournament scene. Feels good man. I still play but I'm not very serious about it.
I also have very strong memories of playing Ultimate Spider-Man and Twilight princess immediately after buying them on the club's fuckhuge CRT.

Hmmm, I dunno. I didn't play any single game a lot during college.
On a more broad scale, I guess eroge defined my college years.

It defined my college years by making my grades dogshit, zero self control.

I didn't play any games during my college years because I wanted to get good grades, and I managed to.

TF2 is still really near and dear to my heart

Played way more league of legends than I care to admit.

I played Love Live and Smash 4. I can't remember anything else, and I wasn't in long.

nigga what? College is piss easy lol

Not if you're in any of the engineering department or med school. The fact you think it's easy probably means you went to a shit college or had women's studies as your major.

Left 4 Dead and DMC4. Hotline Miami in final year i think.

How is the debt crisis? 15k is the impossible ammount that no one can play? Is that it??

> stopped working out
> stopped collecting comic books and mangoo
> stopped playing vidya
> spent all my time studying
It happened so gradually. I'm a few weeks from finishing my masters (and on my way to start another one) and at this point, I'm not sure I'm ever gonna enjoy those hobbies again.

Still played a shit ton of RO2 and RS2 tough.

I got a stem job, so it's a non issue, but I feel for people that got suckered into a degree only to work at fucking retail.

tribes
dota
tribes is dead but I still play dota

>CS 1.3

I went to a trade school but it was mad overpriced. I racked up 38k. Still manageable with $50 payments but I will be able to dump on it when I pass my tests and get my Aircraft Mechanic Cert. Starting at 25 an hour to be cid is pretty cool.

I barely have time to play, but right now I'm trying to play games like Riven, DROD, and Forsaken

that's relatively low
the avg is about 25k right out of college

Mtg, SF4, Rock Band and League

>15k is the impossible ammount that no one can play? Is that it??
Fuck no you doubt how stupid Americans can be. I know fuckers with 60-80k worth of student loans. People will pay for their housing with loans, tuition, dumbasses with actually buy their books instead of renting them, they wont fucking apply for scholarships then they get out shocked that they racked up 60k+ worth of debt.

Depending on the college and education (med students for example) they can rack up 100k+ in debt by the time they are 25. For a career that they might hate.

Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2 was a huge part of my failed university days way back when. Pro tip: marine biology is a shit degree, don't go for it.

Current attempt at college is going much better, computer technology is cool. And I rediscovered Portal 2, so it's a been a defining part of both sets of my college years. That's neat, I guess.

STEM comes with paid internships that basically cover your expenses. And if you still have debt after that, a good company that hires you out of school will just pay your debt off for you (in addition to your salary).

However, if you weren't very good at STEM and couldn't get those opportunities, your SOL. Same for most other majors.

Currently in college and working at the same time please kill me and my games right now are MHW and P5R. No debt so far.

Deus Ex Human Revolution made me pick Biomedical Engineering as my major.

this but for my masters, did computer engineering for undergrad

>and working at the same time please kill me
Do most people work throughout uni? The tism makes me think it'll be almost impossible to accomplish

>22 but still doing my AA
How fucked am I?

With online courses it's pretty easy to work a full time job while also knocking out classes. In class is more difficult. I have to pay bills some how being by myself and taking out loans isn't something I want to do.

The "debt crisis" comes from the fact that underage people are basically goaded and coerced by their entire family and every adult they regularly interact with to go to some form of college at their own expense, as if there's no other path of life out there that doesn't require taking out relatively large loans that take a decade or more to pay off. Combine this with how lenient most federal loans are and most people will carry around that debt for a large portion of their lives. My dad just paid off his student debt a few years ago in his late 40s. It's fucking absurd.

I worked full-time during my master's because I was making 6 figures and didn't want to quit my job while going back to school.

Wouldn't recommend but I still aced everything (biomedical engineering though, idk how it'd work for others)

The Cowboy Bebop episode "Wild Horses" made me pick up Aircraft Maintenance.

I would usually work around 20-25h per week while I had 5 classes in college and uni. I had mediocre grades for a while but I finally found a good balance and developed sufficiently good work ethics throughout the years to end up with pretty good grades and being a well-regarded student.
I also found out I might have developed a genuine addiction to working, so that helped.

>med school

You don't go to college to go to med school.
You go to college for pre-med.

Not him but no, college is easy as fuck. Its basically Pay To Win no matter the major
If you think its hard you're doing something wrong

I'm 30 and finishing my AS next semester. I think you'll be fine.

I definitely feel you man. Working full time now, but will find a part time job next year as I increase my classes. Finding that balance between work, classes, and free time is key.

>tfw did Biomedical Science instead of Biomedical Engineering

Every classmate I ever asked said they were working some job on the side. I didn't have a job during college myself though but I wish I did. I bet my grades would look exactly the same.

MW2

I'm 23 and doing my BS, I'm finally partially free from NEETdom, although I've never had a job.

I graduated last May, so Outer Wilds.
