Just applied for a programmer role at a games company outside of London! Quarter-life crisis in full effect
Just for once I'd like to be not a fucking failure
Man Sooz's real-talk post was great. But I keep paying way too much attention to that avatar #WhatIsSeenCannotBeUnseen
I think in this day and age, people should re-evaluate what it means to be a success and a failure. I have my own slightly controversial views on this type of thing I'd rather not share, but at the very least if you're not causing active harm to other people I'd say you're far from a failure.

So my computer crashed and my project got corrupted...
I think one of the smartest things to do in this regard would be to use version control. A lot safer than simply storing your data on Dropbox or USB sticks, plus some other advantages... Here's a RPG Maker focused tutorial on using something like Bitbucket to version control your project.
The money i spent on the new gorillaz album would have been better spent on crack cocaine. By far the worst album, only slightly better than The Fall.
The good news is I should have time to work on RMN and games again
Sorry to hear kentona. If you're interested in working for a bank, let me know (although I have to admit I don't know if it has tech offices in Regina - I can find out though).
Been thinking about how difficult societal/cultural expectations have made/will make my life, but dear God, things would be SO MUCH WORSE if I were a woman
author=KylailaWell yeah, but there are some fairly objective criteria that make me think my life would be much harder as a woman:
It's all just different. *shrugs*
Good luck on your path, friend. May you make it your own <3
Stand proud, yes? I think eventually it'll click when it's just right the way you have chosen for yourself.
-> Ex-Muslim: Risk of violence if anyone in family finds out
-> Living alone: I would probably not have been able to move out for Uni and live the way I have for the past 7 years
-> Not planning on having kids: Enough said...
-> Sex before marriage: Would be screwed (hah) if anyone in my family found out
-> No rush to get married: At my age and current job status (stable/full-time), I'd be a shoe-in for arranged marriage. By the way, people like making the distinction between forced marriages and arranged marriages, and yes there is one in that with arranged marriage you can say yes OR no re: The prospective spouse. However the reality is with pressure from two entirely families to get married, it's often VERY difficult for the woman to say no without some sort of consequence.
And thanks Kylaila, appreciated, but I think I'm more worried for women in my position.
author=InfectionFilesHear, hear!
That's why you gotta respect women for how strong they are and we can never really know how it is.
Women of RMN, the greatest of respect!

I sometimes forgot how young you guys are
Gotta admit I didn't think I'd be hitting the "my schoolmates are getting married" stage so soon....

Why does everyone just assume that kids/marriage is some level of success? I know plenty of people who are late into their 30's and happy with being single, and living their own lives how they want.
It's a cultural thing, arguably more in some cultures than others. Where I'm from (the Indian subcontinent), it's fairly often thought of as selfish to not have kids before the age of 30 if you're a man, or 25-26 if you're a woman.
I probably wouldn't be giving a crap right now if I didn't feel I had a certain duty to provide my parents with grandchildren. To an external person, it probably sounds dumb ("You don't have to provide your parents with ANYTHING!!"), but it's a bit more complicated than that unfortunately...

YM, you just gotta get married before me. ^.^ There's your bar~ It should be a low one because I'm personally not planning on getting married for a long, long, long time. Also, don't worry about it if it's not one your priorities. People are silly thinking marriage is some kind of necessity.
LOL, right now I'm struggling with getting a long-term relationship, never mind marriage. When I think about it that's way, it's kinda silly for me to care about these things.
Also I can see where you're coming from: I should probably have instead wrote, "People who actively CHOOSE to have kids despite knowing they can only barely afford them, if at all". My bad.

I remember some years ago when I was wandering the local autumn market where you generally meet people you haven't seen in years. I met one of my old schoolmates I hadn't in years and he had a kid with him. It did hit me a bit. I mean this was probably almost ten years ago now.
Nowadays my younger sister has two kids and a house (and is married with a husband) and I feel like I probably haven't changed much in the last ten years. But I try not to think of it too much and just play video games :)
Man, I feel you there. A guy I knew at Uni (he had the same thesis supervisor as me) already has a kid, and he's three months YOUNGER than me.
At the very least your sister has kids....my elder brother, for various reasons, isn't likely to get married anytime soon, so I feel most of the pressure is gonna be on me to settle down yada yada.
