Yeah for all I revel in my middle age being young is great too. Its all different parts of the cycle and what you make out of them.
 
I think the thing that is satisfying to me right now is having the experience and perspective to refine the things I defined in my teens/20s, and be able to look at things with a different perspective I may not have been able to internalize well at that age.
 
You sound like you're on the right track. Just keep doing what you're doing and it'll work out just fine.
 
Also fun fact when my brain scanned your post I saw "3rd" and immediately thought you were talking about 3rd Strike. That is probably a good association to have.

I wonder if I'll feel the same way in times to come. I feel like I've lived a fulfilling, studious and active life, but doesn't everyone at this age? I think I have yet to see how this world works and for now I'm just looking forward to developing my philosophies about life - something that I think I've talked about for the 3rd time in 3 days. I hope it comes to a naturally happy conclusion, and, if not, a healthy cope at least.

Seconded. I'll take the slightly thinning hair and random aches and pains as a trade off for being really stable and knowing what I want. 
 
Only now do I appreciate the phrase "youth is wasted on the young". Its not a slam against young people its "goddammit I wish I could have all the stuff and knowledge I have now but that 18 year old body, I'd be unstoppable".

There is a time and place for everything... and it’s called college.
 
Also, eventually you will get old. Example, the other day I put my car in track mode for the first time in about a year and immediately thought... this is awful... followed quickly by... fuck I’m old now.
 
That said, in my experience so far, life only gets better.

That's your first life test. 
 
Now no one is going to push you or really care about what you are doing. Its all up on you to set your own path and walk it.
 
My recommendation is to set standards and keep to them. Work on building your own schedules and regimens. The next howevermany years are going to be a lot of that so building good habits now will pay off later.
 
Also even though it can feel heavy at times this is still "young person fun time" so get out there and do enough dumb shit to get some good stories but not enough that you end up in prison.

No, not at all. I was being mostly facetious in the first place, even though the spark of laziness lies dormant within me. I'm not comfortable with not working anyway, so you're fine. As for expenses, what doesn't cost money? It's luckily not my problem, it's my parent's. I'll just try to support them and honor their investment as much as possible; that's all I can do.

Look man if I can still keep at this at 38 after a decade of typing and carpal tunnel, you can at least be a low tier Twitch personality. I believe. 
 
Rambo definitely looks sweet. Especially with the variations being opened up you should be able to find something with him.
 
I only bought the KP because I'm a tool. I'm probably not getting off the Cassie/Skarlet train anytime soon.
 
Also the character select screen is lopsided right? Can we get one more char to balance that thing out? The lack of symmetry makes my eye twitch.

You mother fuckers need to get the hell off the internet, your standards seem to be all kinds of fucked up.
 
Maybe Zat is right about all the porn you guys consume. 
 
 

DOUBLE POST:
 
Wife just got an $100 gift card for kroger from her job. 
One of us must of helped a homeless guy that was secretly Jesus or something, cause everything is coming up Milhouse right now. 

Out of all the Disney princesses, Kylo Ren is the biggest bitch.

Sorry about the CV19 shenanigans @KingTubb. Saw it in General but was too many pages back to comment. Hope everything works out. 
 
No better time to turn pro. 😉
 
Pre-ordered the Kombat Pass yesterday so I'll be ready to wrassle whenever folks want to give this brave new MK11 world a try.

Awwww shit, the update drops today and ya boy is stuck at home cause some sicky poo-poo student got to close to him. 
 
Bout to party with rambo

I finally got the subscriber count I needed for YouTube Partner.  The application is processing now.  Hoping I have good news by December.
 
In the meantime, here's my newest SFxT CMV
 
 

I don’t care about a damn thing in this article. 
 
No SF6, no marvel, no darkstalkers, no fg shit at all 😦

It's a Good Day to Work Hard (2020)
 
 

Rollback beta is now extended until release 
 
 

My very rough understanding is yeah that is how it works. There are very few things that can actually link together in MK11 so far as I know - the only one I know of off the top of my head is Cassie's MB orb zap into B+1, 3 - so most of it is just putting your opponent in situations where they can't do anything. 
 
Like if you are +13 your opponent's options for how to wiggle are pretty constrained.
 
I'm an MK noob though. And not even the cool wraith kind.

See what you need to do is be more of a basic bitch like I am and say "hey what if I could just take these good moves without shitty poo garbage as other slots?"
 
Being able to just...take Low Shot on Cassie with whatever the fuck I want feels soooooo good.
 
I'll maybe need some iterations on Skarlet though. 

Yeah, I was expecting non-tournament abilities to be adjusted but what I see from up-fans is pretty crazy considering it wasn’t really strong to begin with imo. I was honestly worried Kitana wouldn’t be able to keep up with a bunch of the other custom abilities I’ve messed around with, or even just taking bits from various tournament variations and mixing them into one.
 
then again, I’m very much looking at this in a vacuum... I don’t know what of Sindel’s was nerfed as well, for example. I’m also focusing on up-fans more than I probably should because it was a new tool I just started messing with. I’ll need to see the full patch notes before I freak out too much lol

That was always going to be kind of the Monkey's Paw aspect of this update. Custom variations, but you know they had to tweak the stuff that just sat there unchanged and unused the whole time. I've been waiting for the patch to drop before I really started fucking around with things. I should be able to fire it up tonight for at least a bit and see how my gurls feel.

I love how with the FF crew Mai made the cut for 3rd over Joe.
