Having a wife and kid doesn't mean you necessarily grow out of video games.

It usually does mean that you change up your gaming habits, though. Long games like Dota or LoL are much harder to come by, since dedicating that much time without being able to pause/step away is way too difficult.

I don't feel like I grew out of video games, but newer video games don't grab me anymore.
I can't tell if it's me or the games. I'm always replaying older titles (my favorite game of all time is Terranigma) and I have a Gaming PC but even then I was playing Star Control II last night.
I'm working on restoring a PC-8801 so I can play pic related.
I still get really excited for Nintendo. But this E3 seemed really dull and all these AAA titles seem the same. Honestly I'll get so nostalgia goggled that I'll bust out the 3dfx voodoo machine and play some Quake or Half Life.

I just don't know anymore.

I hate shit like this. You make at least 1K a month with this kind of money. You can easily live comfortably on that much money, even with a family. You won't be eating at lobster restaurants, but you and your family would be way well off. When people say they want so and so job, all they really are saying is that they want more money while having less time off so they can fuck off more. It's all envy. People cry too much these days and the internet has made it worse.

Americans don't say that.
Not modern Americans any how.
Marriage was shoved down our throats around the same time politicians started using Christianity to poll votes.
So early 1900s Late 1800s.
It's just stuck because it makes the church, city, and state a fuck load of money.
If America didn't want it, there wouldn't be commercials for it.
There wouldn't be reality tv shows for dream weddings.
There wouldn't be places to get married next to bars in New Vegas.
It isn't what Americans want its what America wants.
It makes money.
You know what makes more money? Divorce.

>>343321489
I'm kinda like you, I'm very rarely excited by new games and I generally just play 90s PC games and sometimes arcade games if I want a challenge. It's just not the nostalgia factor because I play old games I've never played before often and enjoy them. The older (PC) games are often a bit clunky at some parts but they just have that... something that newer games don't. Gameplay-wise lots of new games feel very similar, I guess it's because devs have found out what works and what doesn't and it does make games more accessible but I also think that it has made the games less unique. I know that tons of shovelware shit was shat out back then too but still.
>>
>>343323273
>any major city

Except most people don't live in the inner city where everything is high rise apartments, condos, and businesses. Most people commute to work, and the places around the city are far less expensive. If someone is hurting for money, it's because they spend too much of it. I had friends who made over 2K in a single month doing jobs, and they spent all that money buying expensive shit and gouging it on weekend affairs. It's their fault they were broke most of the time, not the system. You choose what you earn, and you also choose what you buy.

In truth, you're probably making more than 1K if you're working a good sum of hours. You'll be making at least $800 every two week paycheck, so you're probably making close to $2K, which gives you more than enough to give you some extra money.

Georgia suburb fag actually.
Literally the only way I could live off of 1000 bucks is if I moved innawoods or if someone took care of my housing situation.

>gonna stay in GA after I graduate cause low taxes, relative low cost of living
>even a 40k entry job is a bit low in GA
>faggots like you still exist thinking CA is the end all be all for expensiveness, not realizing that the same situations can be found in a lot of places, not just one

You do.

It's called supply and demand.

Stop posting, it's embarrassing.

NC is the capital of many engineering practices and that place is expensive for the same reason high profile cities like LA are expensive. Cause you have rich people living there.

I don't need to defend myself either on my living practices, but to give you a sample of how retarded you are, I'm in the process of owning several houses so I can rent them out and have extra pocket money cause I can.

Avoid Costco and Sam's. They are a scam.

North Carolina is not a city.

It was also in high demand from 2005-2010 for how cheap the real estate was, and many of the people who moved there were from NY, my family included.

Pic related, it's you.

You can't even buy an avacado at the grocery store where I live for under 2 baconbux. I prepare all my own meals and it certainly costs more than 10$ a day.

Can't cook well, so farmers markets are out of the question, I'd just end up letting the vegetables rot.
Also, that sweet cash back on gas expenses.

Aside from that, cheap is probably different in your standards.
