I have been banned from rebbit over political things, frankly it sucked a lot, I’d been peaceful for 11 years there. It did change a ton after covid, so im happy to be here.

Went to a video game tournament last week in the Netherlands, which was fun! I was the only person from my current country of residence to go though, which is a bit depressing… imagine knowing that absolutely no one in your country shares your interest
Had to take 2 days off work, and get chewed out by bossman because of it and something else, which also resulted in me having to work extra hours (again) this week, which was slightly less fun
Did you have to pay for yourself and what were the overall costs? Those interested in participating in game tournaments generally lack the money or the prerequisites to allow for accomodations in other countries.
It was an In The Groove (ITG, similar to a community-friendly DDR) tournament. Around 50-60 € for an entire 4 days. For me it was literally a <40€ roundtrip train ticket to the venue, when most of the participants flew themselves there
Rhythm gaming is a stupidly expensive hobby outside of Japan, so I doubt people who are into the game would have financial difficulties making there… Heck the few folks from Sweden co-operate an arcade business there. However you are correct, a lot of ppl were probably gatekept from even getting into the hobby in the first place due to finances. In this case, ITG takes at least 300-400 € to get started (buying a home controller), or spend at least 20 € every week at the arcade if you even live close to one (which is usually not the case in Europe)
Recuperating after some health issues. Have an encompassing headache today, not an intense one, but being attacked from all sides has a similar multiplicative effect.
Applying for every job that appears after impulsively quitting a CNA job. Have no direction other than I want to help people.
I keep wanting to find what I’m passionate about so I can fully devote myself/get more educated. Always end up hating it. Think I need to compromise.
So it won’t be: culinary, IT, or elderly centric.
Who fucking knows at this point.
No money. No car. Trying to start fresh and almost 30 with no extended education.
Going great. 😬😃
I should be getting ready for an out of town work trip that is quickly approaching. But I’m here instead. Going to florida for 2 weeks on the company dime. Too bad it’s florida and not someplace nice. . .
