who is the poorest on /v/?

>havent bought a game since 2008 (unreal 2004 because it was 4 fucking discs and was impossible to pirate)
>pirated all of my games since then
>haven't upgraded my pc since 2009

I've had an old PC which I never upgraded since 2000. Games that were released in 2004 onwards were too much for it and I couldn't play any newer titles. In 2011 I've finally was able to afford a new computer which I use to this day.

Fuck man, do some basic freelance work and earn money that way. That's what I did and I wish my social retardation wasn't so far gone and looking back I definitely would've done it much earlier.

Why not just work. Hell even work at mcdonalds for a couple months or something and upgrade your shit

Christ could you be anymore pathetic?

>>321175720
Your fear is irrational.

If your parents were going to kick you out they would have done it regardless of if you have a job or not.

Pity only goes so far, and it will not be for people who are a useless leech.
Now go earn some money to buy them a christmas present or something, stop being so worthless

I'm Australian, so for a 23 year old 17.50 is slightly above minimum wage, after 3 months it's up for 20 bucks an hour.

I still live with my nan, but in a seperate house on the property paying 150$ a week for everything, internet, electricity water etc.

Families are there to support each other nigger, and I'm looking at upgrading my HD7850 rig to a 970 sometime soon. That or just buy a PS4 because my rig runs most games at 30-40fps. Might just upgrade the video card.

Move to Arkansas. Get a job at walmart, move up to a 12/hour position while saving money. We have cheap colleges that are still worthwhile if you know where to look. Go to school, get a couple years experience in state, then leave and never come back.
Make a real living somewhere else that has anything worth doing or seeing.

our 2002 selfs would beat the shit out of each other for bitching about frame rates in video games. but thats just the world we live in now. i gave zero shits or even knew what fps were i just played and enjoyed games. now i find myself spending more time worrying about fps, looking at videos comparing, etc, than actually playing games
>>
>>321175012

After paying the bills for my shitty apartment, I barely have money for food so I eat only once every few days. Haven't bought a game in five years. I don't have any money, so I can't do anything but stay home after I come from work or school.

If you have your own gaming pc you're not poor. True poorfags play old ass emulators like Mame or still play PS2 games.
>>
>>321178094
I have no idea how you guys get caught up in that shit
I'm 33 years old games have been my
major hobby since I was a small kid and I have never found my self obsessing over frame rates
I have another friend that loses his shit if it dips under 60 and I'm at a loss why that's an issue for him
Unstable frame rate issues I get but setting a number it must meet seems random as hell
>>
>>321178094
Fuck me if that isn't right. I played PS2 games until 3 years into the PS3's life. I played nothing but old classics (pirates of the caribbean licensed game was fucking amazing), until my folks bought me a PS3 and MW2 for christmas (I was 16 so I was a little faggot), and it wasn't until I turned 18, moved out and built my own PC that I realized just what I was missing out on, and then I fucking turned into the "45+fps or no play" crowd. I still play games on my rig even if they chug to 20fps, but fuck me there's nothign like playing at 45+ fps in a shooter.

>>321178123
Shit sucks man, I was in your shoes for the last 8-9 months. I lost a relationship and had to move across 3 states because of it. Things get better though. Don't kill yourself, alright?
