these are all for you sir

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

This deserves more that five stars.

C O N T I N U E ?
YES >NO

BAD END

SNAKE! SNAAAAAAAAKE!

Exactly, it's industrial-strength OCD. He says in the beginning it was "selfish"...he's way past mere character flaws and seems to have no idea that the only way out is professional help. Something tells me his dad is not a licensed psych.

At 9 minutes into that video, he says he turned off all his lights & other stuff in the house so as not to blow a circuit breaker from all his games.

Good god all my stars are for you GOOD SIR.

My wife sees something in me, thank you very much.

Then share the secret dammit!

For real, not being sarcastic, from someone that has an obscenely large video/arcade game collection: spending more time with her than I do with my hobbies and knowing when to be responsible with the household's cash versus buying some cool rare old game I can buy maybe next paycheck...or next month...or maybe even next year. Being the world's buffest millionaire also helps.

One possibly sad scenario for this guy is he may sell all of his stuff thinking this will make everything improve, when all he needed to do was adjust his interaction time and budget. Or maybe his wife was one of those chicks that hates their man having an interest that doesn't involve them. Or maybe he needs to learn to beat her?

Or wait, how did I land a female to begin with? I hid my video game collection. DUH!

Bottom line, it's clear that this guy went way too far at one point. Many of the things you mentioned are common sense that any regular person would have. As much as one might love a hobby nothing replaces interaction with real human beings that love you and care for you. This guy has his priorities upside down.

The secret is marrying a Real Doll.

he may not have had quite so many things when they met and got married.

The secret is obvious: Marry a fellow obsessive nerd.

Your house will be a place of untold horrors and crazy. Your lives will be a POE exhibit. Your children will probably murder you. It'll be awesome.

There's just something about this collection that makes me think it's hoarding and not mere collection. The way it's just sprawling and taking up all of his living space. Or it could be the daily YT videos.

"spending more time with her than I do with my hobbies and knowing when to be responsible with the household's cash versus buying some cool rare old game"

you go with your bad self, sosage.

may i add thatvideo games span so many interests. sometimes it can be finding a sort of game you both enjoy that can be really bonding.

also, go outside often. really, it is pretty out there and nothing beats a walk with your loved one.

Let's see.. he's in Japan, so he probably married a Japanese woman. They could probably just barely communicate, so they probably married each other based on some bullshit idealization of each other's race. Once she figured out that his otaku hobbies were not just a passing phase she got sick of him and left with their beautiful half round eye baby.

I'm not just going to hope my child kills me, I'm going to demand it.

You must strike me down Cleaner Junior, it is the way of the Sith.

Let me help here.

Instead of his wife and kids by his side, he still has his arcade games in the background.

He's already made the choice and is merely trying for some e-pity. If he actually cared about his family, he would have sold those machines on ebay.

He's not even close to realization.

He might be better off selling them and living in a Buddhist monastery for the rest of his days.

where he will train relentlessly, driven by the memories of those he has lost, until one day, finally, he will return as....LUDDITEMAN!!
