Get enough personal funding for my parents to be taken care of.
Then build indie games for the rest of my life. Making single person RPGs. Where the stories can fill the void of my need to write novels. And the themes being a culmination of all the games I have played that had a role in guiding some sense of morality or drama. Such as the last mission on Halo Reach or the Mass Effect Trilogy, or Outer Wilds etc.
I’d want to compose, do the artwork, and the development for this, an all-out love letter to this form of storytelling. Spending years fine tuning every single detail as if it’s an elaborate sculpture. Details so small the crescendos of the OST, exactly match animations and playable cutscenes. All until, I feel I have reached a personal magnum opus, of the games released thus far.
And then say good bye. Moving on and living a simple life.
That's really cool. You sound like one of my old roommates - he wanted to do the same type of games and do every part of making them.
Hope to run into some of them, some day. Has he gotten around to it yet?
I'm not sure! Last I saw he hooked up with some girl and moved back to Montana I believe.
To stomp out Classism, Bigotry, Misogyny, and Racism, and just like, for fucking real, have everyone operating on an actually level playing field.
To find a sexually compatible partner who I'm attracted to.
ugh same.
Sooo.. Are you guys dating?
I want to find a job that isn't too much for me and pays well. The search has been on for ages and goes on.
Being able to afford to the medical care I need, or to just die and get it over with.
Defeat student debt young enough to quit being an engineer and try to be a writer.
Never gonna fucking happen. I'll die with student loan debt
Having fun and motivation for hobbies and personal projects again.
Try antidepressants.
Sadly I already do.
Try different ones. It took me three doctors until I finally found one who decided to give me an ADHD and bipolar drug instead of an antidepressant, and it worked (well, mostly. Works well enough that I can enjoy my hobbies again, and that's something).
Ok interesting. It might be the same case for me, I will look into that. Though I have to say, that the current one helps me with overall anxiety.
So did the stuff I was originally on but it helped with nothing else.
Personally I've tried 3-4 different antidepressants and anxiety relief was a common effect (except Bupropion/Welbutrin, which made anxiety worse). So I wouldn't stress it too much. Don't be afraid to switch drugs and/or doctors if anxiety is the holdup.
Living without pain
There's big cliffs around my city, I want to be a dragon and sleep in the sun on top of the mountain. So far I haven't found a way to do that 🤔
I. Want. My. Oscar. This. Year.
Wolrdwide anarchy federations.
To be someone's pet dog. 🐶
A world where humanity can explore its full potential without a constantly looming existential crisis.
For Bitcoin to go on another bull run and hit $1m. Hell, I'll take $100k at this point.
I wanna li-li-li-li-lick you from your head to your toes
5 days work week with better pay than this.
4 day work week with better pay than this.
I'll take a 3 day work week with better pay than this, and that's my final offer.
My student loans paid off.
For my annoying, limiting health issues to go away. Then I can enjoy every second of life, work hard, reach my full potential. Take care of my parents, achieve my dreams.
Wondering if Is this the real life.
That this platform will reach critical mass and be able to overtake Reddit.
Peace of mind
I am on a beach, in a old lawn chair. the sand is grey. the sky is a deep dark blue. The sun has not risen. It is cold but not freezing. There is no wind.
I am aware of the long dead remains of the other beach goers around me. But I choose not to acknowledge them. I know peace in this moment.
I close my eyes as the sun begins to rise. Though does nothing against the blinding light. I do not see my final moment. I see nothing.
... either that or I dream of eating a big pizza.
I like Tolkien and maybe that other one with the weird hand fetish. Don't like GRRM though. It's literary shit.
Fucking up the mafia and all other maleficent criminals.
Final
To marry my 1.50m real-life waifu.
