Like most people and young adults my age i also hate being broke. Im 19 and im not allowed a job due to parents, life, and not wanting to drive. The thing is im depressed and very unmotivated due to young adult hormones or something. I also feel like if i start making money i might get a spending problem to fill the void.Its not like i could get a job i have no real experience.

Im stumped but im also not sure what steps to take.

If you have any further questions feel free to leave a comment.

I like money topics but im no expert and people say its sad to have money as a hobby. I also really like computers but atlast i cant code, or do any sort of art. I did take a art class when i used to got to school but i never got anywhere. I tend to want the simple ways of life instead of just doing something which really bugs me. Like i use ai tools way too much instead o just doing something in terms of daily random questions i have. Ive really wanted to make a youtube channel but i struggle with ideas and starting very badly.

Sorry if i ranted a bit.

 

Right now i have a pre-build i got from ebay quite some time ago but its a Frankenstein of parts to say. I want to get a better pc but i cant get a job due to parents saying no and im quite busy theses days. I wish i could do something from home to gain experience but im not sure what? also what are some things to avoid when upgrading, this time i wont go for a pre-build. I do have a little bit of cash but nothing special that will get me anywhere in terms of a pc.

Ive thought about just doing a case swap and upgrading what i can but that dosent really seem worth doing. Also yes what i mostly have is optiplex-like systems. I have found some with a i7 on the other hand, the best machine i found came with a i7 and a 4vram nvidia card. Im mostly lost on what online marketplaces to list on.

I somehow dont have any macs, there mostly old office windows based computers. I have 1 imac with issues.

 

Ive gathered over the years a descent stash of desktop computers and parts but now i have too many and im not sure what to do with them or how to sell/get rid of them? Or even where to post them at. The computers are nothing new or special.

What would you advise?

I got this dell laptop for 10 dollars at a thrift store and it powers on but i beeps 5 times at me before reaping the beeps. I oped up the laptop to give it a light clean but to notice this model has the storage and ram embedded into he board. I took a gamble with this laptop, im thinking the cmos batters need replacing but im unsure. What would you advise? This is a dell inspiration 11 3000 series from 2010.

Hello 19 year old with autism and depression here. Im on pills given by a doctor, ive tried therapy, dnd even. I just feel depressed and im not sure why possibly hormones or maybe that fact that i haven't accomplished anything in my life or even done anything, also im broke to say. Everyone tells me to workout but i dont feel motivated to even do that plus its super hot outside and i cant afford a gym, maybe im making excuses...

I just feel lost on where i should be right now in life and im clueless on what the next steps are.

Well i have wanted to learn to make games but i struggle with ideas very badly and posting a commercial game on platforms like steam or app store cost a ton atleast for me right now. Im not sure how to profit on coding besides posting on a platform of sorts. I sadly feel like ive gotten lazy due to ai tools theses days which is a bummer. I did surveys because it was kinda like instant reward. Im also sadly the generation that grew up to be impatient and want things the easy way which i hate.

 

Im not sure where to post this at but it bugs me and i want to share my experience and thoughts.

Hello im 19 year old with autism if that matter. Im not allowed a job because parents said no and yes i know im a adult but i cant drive and im dependent on family and they are with me aswell. Anyways i felt so down in the dumps and just wanting a way to earn money, that i thought surveys and get paid to sites would be a change. There a waste of time and only good for earning pennies. most of the time you do the survey and when you fishish it screen you out not giving you a reward. I even get money from the government for having autism but it goes towards bills and life, the little i have left i always blow it on something dumb (I have a problem).

I want to let you know never try those sites there just not worth it and take weeks of slave labor to even get a dollar.

And now i ask how do i earn money in a real way or get a job from home? I wanted to be my own boss sense i felt busy but im not sure anymore.

 

I have no real experience in art but yet i want to make projects like video games. What are some free ways to make 2d assets and packs for free, how do i learn, what style should i study, where do i find reference images/poses? etc.

I know i could use pre-made assets but i really want to try my hand at art.

Im trying not too make this post too long but feel free to add onto this if you wish.

 

I found a external drive and made a dual boot. I just thought i should let you all know.

Thoughts?

Sadly i cant learn to drive and my parents dont have a extra car to teach me how to drive. I do have to look after my parents alot which is fine.

So in conclusion i cant drive yet.

 

Not sure if this goes here or not?

Ive played a little bit of mmorpgs back int he day, that stars wars one to be exact, which felt more like walking sim more than anything. Im considering picking up old school runescape but im not sure if its good choice or not? What mmorpg that is free would you like to suggest to me a beginner?

 

Im going to rant a tad bit, but i could use some advice.

I cant really get a job because i cant drive and there are no buses (not like i could afford a bus anyways). I also have to stay at home with family because they have health issues and im paranoid. I want to be self employed but honestly im not sure. IM not even sure what i could do for self employed sense im broke and a young adult. I would likely be better off with a job but i cant go out and get one. Its like i want a hobby but everything i want to do requires money or something of that nature.

My biggest problem right now it picking a linux destitution or os. There's so many how do i choose?

Also if anyone is wondering this machine is a overpriced prebuild i got because my parents forced me to pick a prebuild instead of building a pc.

 

So i have a gaming desktop that not the best or the newest. What takes up most of my drive space is games, updates, and software's. Im wondering if i should switch to linux and if linux will improve any performance for my main machine? If you believe i should switch what os should i go with or why or why not should i switch?

I mostly game and do mess with ollama/ai tools because i think that's cool. I want to do more things in the future but that might beyond my drive space?

What would you advise?

I figured in a way...?

 

Im wondering what games beside doom and classic arcade games like pong, can run on any sort of device and what the limitations are? everyone says will it run doom? but what others games have the same support doom has?

Im not sure if this post goes here but ill start here.
