>Why aren't there cheap inn rooms in this world where poor can stay to save up and lvl up their living style?
Motels

>>15451715
Yes, you realized that humans require structure and guidance beyond a darwinian contraption designed to grind up cro magnons and spit out an electronic Antichrist distributed ai garbage swarm.

>>15451742
People can't live like this forever.

>>15451742
You WILL be assimilated into the AI blockchain

>>15451715
Once VR gets really good I'm just going to live in the AI world. Fuck earth.

>>15451816
But you still will need to wagecuck, rent an expensive box and pay for the VR equipment.

>>15451715
>There is no clear path that you can take, everything is obscured to shit.
There is, everyone tells you from birth that you should go to college and get a job.
>Why aren't there guilds in this world that would pay you for one time jobs and contracts?
Freelancing and contracting exists.
>Why aren't there cheap inn rooms in this world where poor can stay to save up and lvl up their living style?
There are, but the tradeoff is you have to live next to other poor people.

>>15451845
>should go to college and get a job.
This will not guarantee a healthy life.

>>15451856
Define "healthy life."
People in RPGs aren't walking around in constant happiness, are they?

>>15451715
This is literally what life is like when you have ample resources and why most of this board is trying to /make it/

Learn a skill
Screen goes to black
You know the skill.

Just imagine that black out time is you studying really, going to class, and feeling you wasted your time.

>>15451715
Life is an RPG. There are many paths you could take. Opportunity is everywhere. How about you take your head out of your ass and start thinking and doing shit?

>The biggest redpill of this capitalist environment is that you as a poor wagecuck never participated in this so called "capitalism" and only wage your life away for others who are richer than you, so that they can participate in life like a human being.

Poorfags get to consume the products the capitalists produce. Not taking part in capitalism as an investor is your own choice.

>>15451861
>People in RPGs aren't walking around in constant happiness, are they?
Depends. They're more happy than most of us.

With healthy life I mean not being sleep deprived the whole time.
Not having to pay 2/3 of the salary for rent.
Not being afraid of tomorrow.

>>15451889
>Depends. They're more happy than most of us.
It seems like the most interesting RPGs are the ones where shit is going wrong the whole time.
>With healthy life I mean not being sleep deprived the whole time.
Go to bed earlier and get good sleep hygiene.
>Not having to pay 2/3 of the salary for rent.
Go to college and get a not-shitty job.
>Not being afraid of tomorrow.
No reason to be. Everyone dies, it's just a matter of when.

>>15451889
You don't have to be or do any of these things.
Sleep deprivation is your own choice.
Share your living space with other poorfags to cut 70% of rent cost.
Do not be afraid of tomorrow by having savings and useful skills.

Everyone in an RPG is financially independent though.
You don't have to eat, you don't need to sleep and you don't get placed in actual physical discomfort not having food and shelter.
You can literally stay alive just standing around in town.
No need for hygiene, toiletries, water and whatnot.

It's a life where everyone basically no longer has to worry about food and shelter, and only worry about making themselves richer or stronger.

Like if you made it, all you ever do then is train (go to the gym, lift, learn a martial art or box, etc.) or make yourself richer (start a business or learn a trade/learn to trade, etc).

So basically, you first need to make it, then life will be an RPG.

>>15451715

imagine the smell

>>15451935
>You can literally stay alive just standing around in town.
People do this in real life, too.

>>15451935
I was trying to think what a game would be like if you had to struggle constantly to stay alive.

Like what if in Diablo II, you were constantly poisoned, antidotes didn't exist, so you constantly had to farm gold to buy red potions from Akara. AND no monsters ever dropped health potions.

That's basically how real life works I think.

>>15451816
This. 2040s. Prepare accordingly so that we can get the fuck out of this shithole reality

And the only game mode is Hardcore.

That's basically how real life works I think.

Maybe a little bit worse, like starting out as a level 1 in Nightmare or Hell difficulty.

>>15451999
There is a game called Scum where you do that. You have to shit and piss in-game, and other players can find you are based on your shit.

WTF I hate capitalism now!

>>15452009
Has that shit been released? Was stuck in development hell for years

>>15451715
In noncapitalist systems you wont have a good life either if you are a lazy, stupid bum. Did you know that?

>>15451965
i'll probably neck myself until then, still better than existing in this satan's anus some people call universe

>>15451715
I'm been playing skyrim and getting increasingly depressed by the simplicity of that life. To get married, you just wear an amulet and the women say sure. No need to eat or sleep. Can just sell my stuff to a merchant, no need to find customers. My main source of income is killing gangs and taking their shit. If I die I just load my save. To top it off people ask me for favors, send me on quests, random fucking strangers. Oppurtunity comes to me.

>>15451715

RPGs are actually a parasitic lifeform that both feeds upon the motivation networks and inserts chemical signals to propagate its reproduction (by making them desirable to be reproduced). They reroute streams of positive signals to a topographical network that seems to deal with processing of its image-form. The allures of a fantastical gamespace with a freedom unbound by life's outrages. People manage to think more of them in existence and to have fun playing simpler simulations than the one they inhabit.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But maybe I'm parasitized...

>>15452137
I feel you.

RPGs are designed in such a way that players can advance themselves. The in-game economy, the class leveling system, the guild dynamics, even PvP.

The real world is designed to suborn 90% of people into the inescapable role of NPCs in the service to a tiny fraction of people who get to bend the system to their wants and needs, with a little over 9% having the necessarily high randomly generated stats and traits coupled with the right class needed to gamble their existences trying to be PCs. Most would-be PCs fail because they don't find a niche in an economy that's meant to extract value from them, and they don't fall into the right party or guild to get themselves moving in the right direction. I don't think even the Capitalists are happy, and they're the fraction of a fraction of people who the system is designed to cater to.

Reality is downright warped.

>>15452137
Starting a scalable business is like playing a video game, but way more fun and you can get rich if you're smart.. yeah stick to video games and legend of Zelda crypocurrency

>>15451715
Life is like an RPG, you just don't want responsibilities

99.9% of species have gone extinct, they were unable to adapt and thrive in the changing and highly competitive environments they found themselves in.

>>15451715
You act like if life were an RPG that you'd instantly be the hero. Nigger, you'd be just another NPC, just like you are now. You just want free handouts.

The permian extinction is such bullshit

Yeah, you really overcame the capitalist-liberal brainwashing there, bud.

It is

You were SO close! Move a little to the left. Then further left.

>>15451715
What are you talking about? Life literally is an RPG.
Your problem is that you have video games that gives you fast access to a virtual RPG where you can sit still and experience an adventure.
Going out in the real world takes more energy, willpower, etc... so you choose the easy path.

Slap yourself in the face and get out the door. Find your adventure.

>>15451715
Fucking furries, absolutely disgusting

Absolute cringe.

>I recently realized that It's not my fault I struggle in this life, it's the fault of the system that is not designed for me.

Yeah, good idea, blame everything except yourself.

> There is no clear path that you can take, everything is obscured to shit.

kindergarden, primary school, high school, university, graduate job in a large corporation, regular career, save money, acquire vehicle, wife, house, kids, grow old, receive pension, die.

There's an absolutely straightforward, linear path which required almost no extra effort from you. The only requirements were to be born in a normal lower middle class family and simply following the rules throughout your life. Maybe not being laziest piece of shit among your peers. Maybe putting an extra hour or two into studying here and there to get a better grade. That's it. Simple. Worked for millions and millions of people. All you had to do was follow the goddamn train CJ...

> Why aren't there guilds in this world that would pay you for one time jobs and contracts?

What is uber, what is contracting, what is freelancing. There are options at various levels of skill and education.

> Why aren't there cheap inn rooms in this world where poor can stay to save up and lvl up their living style?

What is living with mom and dad almost rent free while you get your life together?

> I'm so tired of everything

Go to the gym, stop eating sugar, go to sleep at 10 pm every night, don't masturbate to porn. Don't think. Just do these 4 things for 2 weeks. All it takes. Do this for 2 weeks. Your life will turn around.

In general, cut out effortless pleasure from your life. It's the reason you're unmotivated and lazy. Make it so that the only way you're allowed to have fun is through something productive, creative, useful, something which creates value and gets you closer to long term goals. It's a matter of habit.

dude i play a lot of MMOs and was thinking about stuff like this just last night, 100th monkey effect in full force. in an MMO theres always a way to move forward and progress. in terms of jobs even if you tick all the necessary boxes you need to get lucky to make progression. there did used to be shit like guilds in real life until the university system became the recognized way to learn a trade at least for higher order jobs. but a few hundred years ago if you want to be a blacksmith there really were blacksmith guilds and even if you had no experience at something they'd take you in and show you the ropes. on the job learning was pretty popular for about a few thousand years in organized society until the university system started getting fuckloads of money and started acting like corporations that didn't have peoples interest in mind and roasties started to get all of the jobs in HR.

>>15451715
Just treat it as an RPG and it will become one.

Also, watch eXistenZ.

>>15451715
this is actually a good observation. I would write an article/book about it.

>>15454255
Hahah sure buddy.
Back in the middle ages you would be born in a family and you would follow the footsteps of your dad. You really think you could knock on the door of a smith and he would say: sure buddy i will teach you for 10 years so you can be my competitor. Peak delusion. Just face it that most NEETs here are just afraid to learn something and make mistakes. Easier to sit behind a pc and blame the Jews and women for the absolute abomination of a life they live.

Hahaha oh wow, you're serious aren't you?

>statists steal most of my money
>housing prices are kept artificially high through mass migration, subsidies I can't access (which I am forced to pay for) and "investment properties" for people with no goddamn money but with access to debt
>forced to either die homeless or take extreme risks with investments

Houses have gone up from 200k to 300k in the past 5 years on average in my area. You're a goddamn retard if you think you can escape the rat race without taking risks that would probably give most people heart attacks. Stress comes with sleep deprivation built in. It's not optional in our society, unless you want to live as a slave in a chemically induced dream until the whole system collapses, which is coming to a place near you very soon.

I get what you're trying to say, but it's not that simple when there's migrants taking up all the affordable renting spaces and there's a 30 year waiting period to even have a roof over your head. We have 1.5 million of the fuckers just leaching off of our tax system. They cost roughly 250k per year EACH. And the politicians keep importing these people while increasing my taxes. I know we're in the deep, late roman empire collapse stages now but honestly the collapse of the west can't happen soon enough.

> Implying a Blacksmith wouldn't take an apprentice.

Let's be honest here, if someone needed help back then and some urchin was asking, they'd do it.

It's not too different than if you joined a construction crew today and you start learning how to do every little aspect of it and can become an expert in something like building decks or doing drywall.

Though I agree that bitching about how you can't walk into becoming a blacksmith is gay whining and if you felt that passionate about a trade or on the job training you would go to trade school or join a construction crew.

>optional sidequest: buy two shitty units in a block of apartments
>rent out one of them to cover the mortgage
>you live right below so no commute when your tenant needs you to take a look at something
Repeat this and your profits will compound fast. The key is you need to actually employ soft skills and independent research, you need to know how to negotiate with your mortgage lender, how to optimise your credit score, how to gaslight fellow employees into doing more of your workload, etc etc
Life literally is an RPG it’s just you were never taught the meta and you keep thinking the wagecuck skill tree is the strongest build because you’re autistic and/or your parents are idealists brainwashed by popular media.
That or you’re getting chucked on rent because you *insert HUSTLE and BUSTLE pasta*
Pic related, it’s what I’m looking at right now.
