perhaps sometimes by doing things you don't really want to.
i had a really long response to this particular part typed out, but i decided to delete it, so i'll just summarize it in two points 1. philosophically, it is impossible to do things that you don't want to do on some level—i'm not trying to be pedantic, i actually think that's an important thing to note for a variety of reasons that are hopefully obvious so that i don't have to type them all out again 2. the advice given in this post is the same advice you'd give to someone who has always wanted to make money and to have a successful career, and went to college with "gainful employment" in mind as a goal—i am not one of these people; i went to college for one reason and one reason only: to learn. therefore, my kneejerk response to all of this is, "i don't care about any of this," because as far as money goes, i've only ever wanted to make enough money to live a reasonably comfortable yet quiet and modest existence, where i can just play games, watch movies, listen to music, and read/write books for the rest of my worthless life—that's all i ever want to do, i'm not materialistic and i'm not ambitious—i JUST want to live my life, that's it, i don't want luxury but i can't do that—somehow, that's too much to ask, because of one very stupid and very spineless life decision i made several years ago, as a result of my parents always threatening to kick me out if i didn't go through with it—and because i simply wasn't ready to get a job and live on my own fresh out of high school, i had no choice (in my mind at the time) but to go through with it basically, i was given some very poor parental guidance, poor enough to fuck my life into oblivion, yet i'm the one being punished for it—and i've been taking it up the ass for the past four years as a result peradventure that helps you understand why simply telling me to "put in the effort" doesn't exactly inspire me very much—because not only are you telling me something i already know, you're telling me something that i never should have had to do in the first place, so it just makes me angry oh, what's that? my life is only gonna get slightly better in the distant future if i make it substantially more difficult to bear for the foreseeable future? and it's not even guaranteed??? WOW, LET ME JUST GET RIGHT ON THAT THEN!!!! fuck

I don't know what Microsoft's updates are doing, but the OG Xbox 360 version is beyond fucked up now. The Blightown Mosquitoes are legit flying through the floor and walls and agroing from ranges i've never seen before.
i think i've seen something like this before when i was playing on ps3—maybe not so much going through floors and walls, but definitely the wide aggro ranges thought it was normal

Education is a waste, fuck that off and climb the retail ladder and earn more in the long run without the giant debts you have to pay back.
little bit late
How deep are you in?
And uh, do you actually want to do what you're doing? Basic retail isnt exactly exciting but money is better then loans, books and 2 minute noodles.
4 years, 8 semesters
and no, hence the thread
Youre way too deep dude. Consider homicide?
if you meant suicide, yeah that wouldn't be the worst option

That might be unfair, but it's reality. protesting reality has always been my thing besides, there's no reason i can't convert the things i do in my spare time, like writing all the reviews i write for random stuff, into something i could turn into a makeshift career soon—i'm still gathering material for my eventual dark souls review, and after that, i have a bigger project in mind that may or may not involve video, and i'm learning vegas pro for that and it's been going slow, but since basic video editing comes naturally to me anyway, so it won't be too long before i can get that off the ground if i weren't in college right now, though, i'd probably already be on youtube with 5,000 subscribers—and i'm just the kind of person who likes to whinge about what could've been others don't see a point, i view it as a form of release so yeah i know you mean well or whatever, i'm just explaining my perspective on this

tbh it's the little things that made me regret it
it hasn't aged too well imo, and i just hate how unlike 2 and 3, you can't select multiple souls and STILL stay in the menu. It kicks you out. Easily little quality of life things they could have added in that don't change the core gameplay that people loved
I'm very critical of 'remasters' when it comes to games, and this was just the laziest you could possibly be. I felt they didn't deserve my money, so in the future i'll be smarter about it.
oh, i'm very critical of them too—which is why the other reason i got it is because i have a friend who i've been begging to try the game for the LONGEST time, but when he got a switch, he fell in love with it to the point where he said he's never going to buy a game on another system again it's a shame about the item souls thing, though i wasn't aware it was better in future games (haven't played any of them yet) what i would do is just equip a bunch of them so i could bolt through them faster, but it was still a little tedious having to re-equip all my normal stuff again—and honestly i never used them much anyway menuing in the first game was kind of a pain in general, especially with the bottomless box being clunky and useless, but i've played enough gen 1 pokémon to develop a high tolerance for terrible game menus

and before you give me a million different examples of college-bound authors, journalists, and youtubers who are attending higher education while having a successful writing career on the side: yes, i'm aware that stronger people than me exist, thank you for rubbing it in my face
i work at my own pace, period

that's the dream, but i'm not in a position right now where that's the easiest thing in the world to just do
This won't happen on its own though. You've gotta take steps to get there and put in the effort to achieve something like this down the line. I'm surprised to see you haven't done any of that yet tbh.
because college—like any job—saps me of all my time, money, and energy to work on my true passions i literally would love nothing more than to work as hard as i can towards building some kind of self-generating revenue for myself, and becoming the artist that i've always wanted to be, even if my "art" is just being a youtube critic or some shit but I CAN'T FUCKING DO IT without a time machine, because i was too fucking stupid and afraid to stand up to my parents and say "fuck you i'm taking a year off of school to figure things out first before i put myself into crippling debt THANKS"

What are you interested in
writing, nothing else
journalism is out of the question, i don't want to work for anyone and i don't want deadlines
ideally i'd be a novelist writing for the sake of the art itself, not to get money—but i'd have a patreon or something, so if i were to actually manage to build some sort of following, people could support me that way if they're interested
that's the dream, but i'm not in a position right now where that's the easiest thing in the world to just do
What exactly is the difference between getting paid to write by an employer or selling a book, and having a patreon?
i get to work at my own pace

The stem meme strikes again
This doesn't help
STEM is not a guarantee of employment. Teach English verb.
absolutely no interest

Those are usually two different people
The follow your dreams crowd are a bunch of shit eaters
they ALL are the only intelligent advice anyone has ever given me regarding college is "don't go" except nobody has ever told me that

I regret buying the remaster
it wasn't worth that price
should have been a smart cookie and waited for a sale
yeah i would not have bothered if there wasn't a switch version but DLC + getting to play it on the go is definitely worth $40 imo

"who cares about STEM, you should study whatever you want if it's your passion, what good is a degree if it's just going to make you miserable"
"wtf why would you choose to study something so worthless? you should switch to STEM so you'll actually make some money in your life one day idiot"
everyone on this planet can just eat shit and die honestly

How difficult is it to change your classes / major? Sounds like a lot of your issues come from what you've decided to study.
extremely difficult, and no, not at all really it's more to do with my financial situation, and the prospect of me being yet another kid who's probably never gonna be able to climb out of the mariana trench of debt i've created for myself is beginning to take its toll on my sanity to put it extremely lightly, i have absolutely no interest in any other subject beyond what i'm currently studying, so that would be the difficulty there—to put it more accurately, i would genuinely rather kill myself than spend my time learning about something i actively despise doing work for not to mention, it would be a colossal waste of the 4 years i've already spent here for me to just suddenly drop everything and study a completely different subject—it would effectively double the debt i'm already in, and it would make me all the more miserable, because i had to give up my passion (the one thing everyone has been telling me to never ever do) basically, it just so happens that the only thing i enjoy doing in school—my one passion—is completely worthless in terms of getting a job somewhere, not that i ever wanted one in the first place i went to college to learn, not to get a fucking career—that was my mistake, and that's why i need a time machine

in the interest of having a well-rounded review, i'm gonna get the switch remaster and actually utilize the online features

Undo? You want to choose a different major or just drop out completely?
You could go to some consultation in your college and ask what options you have. Most places will try to accommodate your choices. Anything to stop you from dropping out basically.
i want to go back in time and kill myself before i ever enrolled (or to just stop my parents from pressuring me to do so)
i am requesting step by step instructions on how to do that
Kill yourself then, kill yourself now, what's the difference? You're still dead.
in that case we're all gonna die so why don't we just kill ourselves right now XDD
cuz you wanna be dead and i don't
it's not that you don't want to be dead, it's that you don't wanna have to stop living to get there or you just haven't thought hard enough about how awesome being dead is

I like how when you log out and view this thread, you see that it has 3 pages instead of 2, where 3rd page is the copy of 1st and before there was 2 actual pages, 2nd was an empty placeholder
is this a mobile meme, because i have no idea what you're talking about

That was my point. I’m also expressing my own sentiments, that I don’t want to do any of that. That I don’t know what I want to do, and that many of us are in the same situation with nobody to give us advice because there just may not be any.
i see, my bad maybe the system will just crash some day and they'll have no choice but to forgive everyone that's my pipe dream
