Message: [QUOTE="goldman2786, post: 17743, member: 1100"] Mine is much more recent. Back in 2021 I was in a pretty awful place in my life. I had a home with my parents, but I was going to married soon(and forced to live at home due to American house prices) had no job, struggling to get a degree that I really was not sure I wanted, and just had severe back surgery with a estimated recovery period of 6 months. In that time, I had a choice to get a newer game off steam. I dodged a bullet and avoided Cyberpunk 2077, which I would learn was a good descision. Instead, I got LAD, or Yakuza: Like a dragon. The MC of LAD spoke to me soo hard. I wasn't homless, but Ichiban talks about feeling useless and being at the bottom. In the game, Ichiban has an impressively positive outlook on life. I remember that he would sometimes say "not a loser" before a battle, or talking about getting a job as "leveling up". Not long, I tried my best to keep that positive mindset. Now I am in my own place with my wife with a job I truly enjoy, and though I don't know if I will every be affluent, I can safely say that I am "not a loser". [/QUOTE]
