For me, it would be that I smoke weed

Happy to have you still here.
Thank jeebus you didn’t have to get married to the type of men in the community/cult we grew up in and pop out babies.
“You look just like dad. And that’s very disappointing.”
That I’m a girl now. Would have blown their mind that it was even possible. But then would have been disappointed in me for not having made a video game yet.
I was about to comment the same thing lol. Even the video game part.
Honestly though, I feel like there’s a chance I wouldn’t have been surprised cause I feel like I subconsciously knew back then but just didn’t understand it or know the words to describe it.
I always felt a kinship with girls while growing up and often thought of it as the idea that men and women really weren’t as different as people kept saying they were.
No kid, you’re trans. You weren’t a shining example of how a boy can get along with girls. You were just a girl among other girls.
As someone who recently came out, I was kinda hoping that this would be here. It is a pretty wild thought
So what kind of game are you making?
Estradiol is fucking magical.
Estrogen in general I would say.
But then would have been disappointed in me for not having made a video game yet.
That’s me NOW, too! Maybe if enough of us get together we can cobble something together to appease our childhood selves
But with how abusive the game industry is, makes me never want to get a job at a company that makes games. But that also means I have a full time job doing something else, and the idea of doing my job and coming home to work on my passion project game also sounds nightmarish.
That my parents passed away.
My dick didn’t grow.
The fact that I work with IT with a niche skill set that is highly sought after in my industry. I was 10 in 1993, and at that point I didn’t even know how to turn on a computer.
What I did use a lot, on the other hand, was my NES. And 10 year old me would probably make a jaw drop induced crater upon seeing the kind of games I can play nowadays. Hell, by brand new laptop is fancy on its own.
That I’m not disappointed in him.
That in pretty much every single sense of the word I’m an absolutely pathetic loser.
I didn’t think I’d ever be anything special, but I also didn’t think I’d be 38 and single for going on a decade, living in someone else’s garage, working in a factory in a dead end position with no degree and not an ounce of self worth to even presume to choose a direction.
10 year old me couldn’t wait to be an adult, but after seeing me I think 10 year old me would never want to grow up knowing what I’d eventually become lol
Hey dude, I don’t know you and I don’t know anything about you. I do know that everyone, even people you would never expect, have value. You are amazing just for being you. If you find things you enjoy, do those things. 10 year old you may be prouder of you than you think, even if it’s because of how you have kept on going when things have gotten tough. I hope you feel that.
I appreciate the kind words! Empathy is proving to be increasingly more rare in society so I appreciate you wanting to express that.
10 year old would probably be proud you have a job, no responsibilities and can stay up on the Xbox or whatever all night.
That’s I’ve been working 2 jobs for twenty years and am still married to this asshole who I am grey rocking so I can get through my 12 hour workdays.
How amazing computer games look now.
I mean, I’m impressed now, on behalf of ten year old me I suppose.
I touched boobies.
Coolest dude ever.
Tossup between “You didn’t join the military?” and “Why the hell do you want to sleep so much! You’re an adult! You could be up at midnight!”
Maybe that I went into a blue collar profession, but that I make such obscene money doing it.
Very little, I basically achieved everything 10 year old me wanted (own a house, work with my dad, have a house husband, own a car - I was a really boring 10 year old).
But that’s awesome! Having simpler dreams means you can actually achieve them! That’s so much better than having dreams of stardom that results in disappointment and wasted life opportunities for 99.99999% of those people.
And also, your dreams sound like very meaningful things that make a great life!
Are you hiring a second house husband? We can do house stuff then play xbox.
You have described his occupation perfectly. It’s not always as awesome as it sounds tho: tonight he had to referee 4 screaming boys in a bouncy house in our living room while making dinner. I’m happy to report everyone survived.
I ref kids sports, and have 3 of my own boys.
Pizza delivery solves alot of problems
Oh my gosh what I wouldn’t do for pizza delivery! I have celiac and my kids are autistic, one of whom only eats like 7 things (pizza is not one). My husband gets a gold start for keeping us all fed/alive.
