Why do you want to work as a game programmer?
Literally one of the worst professions.

Sometimes I feel so deeply imprisoned within myself I don't even know what I feel anymore OP. At least you can still tell what you should actually feel, hold on to that before it's too late.

There's literally nothing I want to do.
I have zero ambitions. I just thought it would be ok to be a games programmer.
I don't care about money, I can live in a one bedroom flat and eat microwave meals every day and be happy as long as I get to play vidya games.
are you sincerely butthurt about being called a nerd in good nature?

>I just thought it would be ok to be a games programmer
Why? The industry is notoriously awful to work in.
>>27238061
You don't get to play vidya as a programmer, lad.

I like boring monotonous work. I don't have to be a games programmer, I can just be a programmer if it's that bad.

The more you ignore it, the worse normies bully you. Normies want to bully. They need to do it. They need to feel superior and put someone else down to show it.
When you ignore the bullying, you make yourself an easy target. Normies will then bully you because it's easy, has no consequences and it makes them feel good with no risk involved.
You don't have to kick off and make a huge fuss, you just have to NOT roll over and be a bitch.
Alternatively: kill them, johnny. Kill them all.

its not boring and monotone. Its a fucking stressful overtime I-needed-that-shit-done-yesterday kind of job. There's an army of shitheads like you clamoring to get in, because muh vidia, and they know they can treat their employees like shit cause its easy to replace those that wont bend over and take it.

My sister calls me a faggot all the time
Why are u nerd?
>>27237983
you retard, instead of smiling and trying to roll with the punches, let your real feelings be known on how it hurts you. You set a precedent by being an idiot and letting them get away with it because they think you're ok with it. This one's on you tard
>>27237983
You let it happen you faggot. You shouldve retaliated lightheartedly
>>27237983
Why would you study computer sciences if you want to become a game programmer?
OP, don't you have a masculine bone in your body?
>mom publicly emasculates me in front of my family
