A wagie feels the same way about their routine: wake up, shit and piss, eat, commute, work, back to home, sleep, and wake up, on and on for 35 years or more, at least NEETs have somekind of freedom.

I'm taking piano lessons. You ever do something the first time and it goes well without you even trying? Like slipping in to old shoes, they just fit perfectly. I'm gonna be a music man

To me the normal is this esoteric mysterious thing I can only read about, but it might as well be made up nonsense for who among us could confirm the normal? Just superstitious gobbledygook I say

Zoomers (all the other kids) became our out-group pretty early in life. Since then, I learn to split people into normals and non-normals. If you went to college and interacted with them there, you might be an npc. Likewise, if you used social media etc. you are not a friendo. Basic as fuck.

I suppose all of that is true. I guess sometimes it just feels like prison. But the other side of the fence doesn't look that great either.

So, NEETs, how do you spend your days? What's the most enjoyable activities you do to keep your mind going?

 No.316027

>>316026
I stay on my phone the whole day. I browse imageboards and watch youtube videos; sleep and then repeat.I don't have my own pc, if I want to go to pc i must use my brothers, but I can't do what I wish on it. I generaly play games on it. I wish I had my personal computer

 No.316029

>>313848
I think so. But then, NEETs exist on a variety of online platforms. We just tend to keep to ourselves. At least here, we can be a bit more open about this lifestyle with others.

Unironically buy the new Mac Mini M4 and play windows games on it.

It is a stupidly powerful cpu/gpu in a small form factor for $599.

Though you do need some kind of monitor to hook up to

 No.316040

>>316038
I won't buy the new mac, thank you for suggesting

 No.316042

>>316038
>Mac Mini M4 and play windows games
It can barely run windows in eumaltion mode, majority of games are made for intel/amd cpu so they will run also like shit except for the not demanding ones and old console games like ps1-3,
and you only get 16/256gb of storage and it is not upgradable though you can still add external ssd but in this case why not buy a windows machine insead?

 No.316047

there are also very powerful mini pcs that are not mac on same price bracket

 No.316074

>>316038
MacOS since Catalina (2019) can no longer play 32-bit Windows games anymore via Wine/Proton. Wine said they'll eventually fix it but it's been 5 years now and there hasn't been any real progress on that front AFAIK, I'm guessing Valve is their main customer now so they're focusing on improving compatibility for Linux/SteamOS. So stay away from Macs if you want to play Windows games.

 No.316081

>>316042
This was true in the past when they ran on intel. The 2024 processors are insanely fast. The benchmarks online don't lie

 No.316082

I forgot to mention, it requires a program called CrossOver. But you get 40-60fps on modern games so there is no drawback, considering it's literally just 600 bucks

 No.316086

>>316081
Consider the entire downgrade in gaming performance with the translation with Rosetta. They seem like decent workstations that will handle a lot of shit running in the background with ease and a ton of simultaneous background processes, I'm just not so sure about how viable is it for gaming, and niche gaming, to this day.

It's likely okay though, it's not the M1 any longer.

Does a western hiki even truly exist for real?

 No.316239

>>316238
there is if you don't believe it's a only japanese thing. beside that I don't know why it is a only japanese thing, what makes it only a japanese thing?!

 No.316240

>>316239
>what makes it only a japanese thing
It's probably the sensationalist e-celeb-fueled view of Japanese society as being a super giga conformist hell. So, because of that, being a shut-in in Japanese society would be much different than being a shut-in in a supposedly more permissive western society, deserving a special word (hikikomori).
I wouldn't say that this is entirely false, but some people exaggerate it too much. I still wouldn't say that the word hikikomori can only be applied to Japanese people.

to me it's becoming a lifestyle and soon a trend among normalfags (being a hikikomori will ne seen as cool in few years)

 No.316242

I've been losing weight and feeling a bit better about myself so I want to leave the house and go for a walk or something. But staying at home has become so core to my identity.
Every time my family introduces me to a medical person or social worker they say something like "he hasn't left the house in 15 years". It would be kind of awkward if I casually leave the house and now I'm just a guy with no job or education but still leave the house and enjoy the outdoors like a normal person.
