I live in Finland and arcades were rare, but there was one big one here that we used to go to. It had some amazing games and it felt like going to a carnival basically. They also had a go-kart circle there, which was so cool but too expensive for my poor family to go on. We used to hang out in the place play games and admire them, but being from poor backgrounds we didn't get to play much so as little kids we would often just watch others play, eat our candy and then leave. I still remember the day the place closed down. I was a teenager and I saw the place just empty. Fucking hit me hard. Never seen an arcade anywhere since. I'm 30 now and that arcade closed like 15 years ago. I feel like my life is over already. I wish I could go back to those days of being 15 and playing video games without any feel of guilty. Just play endlessly and let the days go by. Now I play too much I feel guilty. But then again I'm still NEET and I let game ruin my damn life. I dont feel too well anymore. I wish I had money so I could buy a house or even rent a home for a year and continue NEETing, but times are getting rough. Parent probably dying soon. Then I'll be alone with my dysfunctional brothers who are both also NEET losers like me, but I'm the more emotionally prepared one since I think about her death all the time and that it is coming. I tried convincing my brother to get a job but he isn't listening. I think he's at a brink of full on depression. Second brother is an alcoholic and 10 years older than me, so he has given up long ago. He gets benefits, I don't. Mainly because if I go and report myself as unemployed and get benefits, they might cut my mothers benefits. She doesn't want that. So here I sit. Wasting away. Making a few bucks online. God. I wonder when I'll kill myself.

i didn´t have an internet connection until 2010
