What am i doing with my life????

What am i doing with my life?? im a 14 yr old boy turning 15 on wesnday and sleeps, eats, play games and checks facebook, twitter and Gbatempt for a new notification or something interesting. And i can't even commit myself to a project or a skill like coding, or not a lousy pvp map. I just can't do anything technical except fixing errors, hacking consoles and trying to mod games. i need help on coding except im the only person in his famliy that knows his technical stuff. So i need to commit and need help to commiting

Good day

Meh, you're young. There's no need to be worrying so much about these things. If you want to commit to a project, or learning a skill, it's on you to do it. Make yourself daily schedules and stick to them. Small things like that can help.
 
You sound like every other teenager in existence to me.
If you're having trouble why not try to find a new hobby or something? People tend to get burned out if they do the same thing every day.
I enjoy cooking, myself.
 
I'm 30 and I'm in the same boat. I mean, I'm working on a Ph.D., but really I'm still in the same boat as you. For me it's a personality thing, mix of anxiety and depression that makes it extremely hard to keep at one thing for long.

Best solution? Find something fun to do. If you wanna code, don't do it the boring way, find a fun way to do it. Download Unity 5, watch some official videos, make some basic games. Learn coding by seeing how it works directly (c#).

It's working for me, at any rate. It's easier to motivate yourself when it's something you look forward to.
 
Getting into programming starts with actually wanting to create something, not just learning for the sake of knowing. It's kind of like art, sure you can take a bunch of lessons or watch YouTube tutorials and get a basic understanding of how the concepts work, but if you don't even know what you want to create you won't be able to put any of it together. You'll get how it works and how it's made but you won't actually do anything with that knowledge due to your lack of motivation.

Start off by finding something you can actually be interested in, like above mentioned you could try making simple games in C#/C++. Sites like Codecademy will give you a basic rundown of the syntax for languages like Java, Python and Ruby. Maybe you'd like to design a webpage for gaming related stuff? Maybe a program that stores & outputs useful data on the games you like? Just have fun with it man, find something you like and stick to it.

That is *if* you're really serious about it and not just saying I want to code for the sake of having a fallback career. :moogle:
 
i'm 24, unemployed and unfit for work.
I got no future except living together with me bf.

Seriously, you're young.
Live life, enjoy it before you start paying bills forever.
 
Dinoh, Thanks for giving me a concept of life of 20+ Now i need a job to get the dough to pay the bills l8er on
 
They say for any behavior to become routine you have to keep it up for 21 days straight, 3 weeks. I'm sure the routine you have now is an easy one that's satisfying enough so you've stuck with it (been there), but if you want to make a change and do something different. Just commit to it, it won't be easy at first, but if you can get over that hump of 3 weeks keeping at the activity, you'll be into it and want to keep it up. Whether it be working out, coding, painting, whatever, just commit time to it every day, and little by little you'll want to do it and not feel like you need to do it, and you'll also get better at it as well.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
