God I hope not, but the guy has a habit of constantly disappointing me so will have to see
Ahhhh I know the pain bud, I've struggled with that myself as well, in a better spot than I was though still a bit of derp. Felt like I was a complete snoozefest of a person and that I was pretty unlikeable, depression is a total bitch like that.
Don't mean you're a boring person though, like it seems you enjoy a nice mix of stuff and there ain't no shortage of folk on here who dig things like programming, comics, etc as well on here and folk are pretty chill and welcoming from what I've seen so far too.
Credit where credit is due though, its a really difficult thing trying to live your life with depression hanging over you, but hey you've still gone and made a post and are starting on anti-depressants, these are some pretty awesome big steps even if they don't particular feel like it right now :)
My dad joke variation of this is to say...
"I may have a drinking problem"
"I don't know how to hold the bottle!"
Its gotten a few groans of anguish but then that seems par for the course with my humour :p
I've certainly enjoyed my time with it so far, and I've found it to really scratch that detective noir itch quite well. Its early access mind you so I've encountered a few bugs here and there, and it might feel a little repetitive after a while (an issue that I imagine will be ironed out more as the game gets fleshed out more) but what's there was still pretty fun and for the price I say it was worth it for me :)
Haha yeah I remember that too! That game was a pretty chill one to play with friends, just sailing around with your instruments and getting into the occasional scrap with another ship, good times.
Oh yeah, Deep Rock is good for that, getting some beers, having a little dance, getting pissed off at tossing barrels into the ring, finding the little football and the goal posts and having a game of that, its great xD
Mean to me it feels like when this gets brought up in an article, its another one of those moral panic sort of things that go "look at what the kids want to be when they grow up, society is in decline!" as if they didn't have dreams of being a movie star or something when they were young. I wanted to be a astronaut despite my fear of going on rollercoasters lol, kids love dreaming big regardless of how actually feasible those dreams are.
And I can see why being an influencer would be appealing, getting to feel cool and popular, the perks that come with it like free stuff, having it revolve around an area they are passionate in like gaming for example. Plus considering that to those kids who might be inspired to become an influencer from following one, they've probably also gotten the sense that it must be one of the best jobs ever since they've probably only gotten to see the good, fun, positive sides of the job as thats usually the stuff that gets posted, but not so much with the bad side of it. Burning out is a fairly common problem for one, especially with a big pressure to keep pumping out content super regularly.
Personally not for me though, the idea of fame just doesn't appeal at all to someone scared of people like me and I'm burnt out enough as is haha.
