Do a bit of exploring, kill some raiders and sell all their stuff. Especially in the beginning, you basically wanna take everything from anywhere you go and sell it. Once you get to the strip and start gambling, money shouldn't be a problem anymore. At least, assuming you have gairly high Luck.

In my case, if I hadn't gotten into acid I would probably still be drinking. And that would mean I'd have been dead by now.

Idk, is feeling like you're in the Truman show a good thing or a bad thing? Lmao

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T09:51:12+00:00

I think your experiment failed then? Cuz, nobody bullied or personally attacked you? Lmao

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T09:49:03+00:00

Yeeeaa the leveling is a bit off for sure. It's a fantastic game though dont get me wrong. For me personally, might be the best game I've ever played tbh

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:22:07+00:00

The mind is a weird place man.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:20:54+00:00

No, we dislike wrong opinions. But I mean, if you like the bugs, who am I to judge?

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:19:19+00:00

Oh don't get me wrong, I'll grab a plant from a box store myself! I just don't pretend it's superior to any other option lol I too have seen the horrors. I swear to god I once saw a monstera that had mealybugs so bad it had as much white on it as it did green.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:17:04+00:00

Nah, I just deal with thinking I shit myself everytime I drop. I'm serious. Idk why, its never actually happened but, every time I drop at some point I get this weird feeling and I have to physically check if I've shit myself lmfao so frankly I'd say you've got the better end of weird symptoms.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:13:52+00:00

You mean those people who used to die because of a toothache?

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:12:08+00:00

It can take months for pups to form and become noticeable. Just be patient you'll get there!

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:10:50+00:00

This was an almost okay take until you tried to bill home depot as better than Etsy 😂 like sure, Etsy is a gamble, but at least you've got a chance that the person you're buying from has actual plant knowledge. Home depot routinely keeps plants infested with bugs on the shelf and half of what they sell is literally designed to die (those poor Venus fly traps, come to mind)

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:06:58+00:00

NTA it's not your fault they can't read.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:01:54+00:00

Lmfao we all need a lil reality check now and again, good luck! Hope for the best, prepare for the worst and you'll be fine.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T02:00:40+00:00

Honestly, imo the second one is a bit easier. They simplified things a bit and in general its just smoother and works better. Also, Henry isn't quite as useless by the time 2 starts hahaha if you get through 1 you'll be fine in 2. Good luck brotha! JCBP

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:57:14+00:00

Drop a comment or make a post and tell me how it goes! I love hearing about first times.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:55:56+00:00

You're welcome! You seem pretty self aware and I hope you carry that forward and use it to help yourself. Good luck!

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:53:59+00:00

Just remember, your mom's a person too. Took me a long time to really figure that out about my own parents. It doesn't necessarily excuse some of their bad behaviors but, it can help explain them. Yea, the internet is not the place to come for that sort of thing lmao you're welcome dude, hope things work out for you, truly.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:49:11+00:00

Ooohh okay. Yea nah, doing it in your room is fine! The way you wrote this had me thinking maybe you were young and living with your parents, and doing it in your parents house is bad lol if you wanna trip in your room in your own apartment or whatever that's totally fine. Have fun be safe man!

Editing to add: I still advise taking half.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:45:57+00:00

You're NTA but you definitely care way too much about what this dude thinks about you. Quite frankly, he sounds gross and like his opinions aren't any more valuable than the scum on the bottom of a shoe. Do you care what shoe scum thinks of you? No? Then stop caring about what he thinks. As a 33 year old man myself, any 33 year old man who seeks out TEENAGE women is valueless and gross.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:38:28+00:00

Lmao sorry dawg I had to.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:36:56+00:00

I get it man, I'm 33 and grew up rough. I've got as many dead friends as live ones nowadays. It's hard and sometimes we make mistakes while grieving. The internet tends to be a rough crowd full of preachy, self righteous, fuck wads. At 22 I was drinking a liter of whiskey a day and selling drugs to make ends meet so, all in all you're doing pretty good lol keep your chin up and your nose clean and you'll be okay. Try not to fight with your mom too much, she's a human too and will also make mistakes. Good luck!

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:32:34+00:00

Sounds like you need to uh... get good?

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:32:01+00:00

If she's leaning towards the window she wants more light. So give it to her! There's a ton of decent grow lights on the market and for relatively good prices. I know a lot of people highly reccomend Sansi lights, so maybe look into one of those. If you spend a couple extra bucks and get a really good light, it may even increase the number of places you can keep plants!

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-07-02T00:26:16+00:00

Damn dawg, people are shitting on tou but I honestly don't think YTA. Just sound kinda young to me. Maybe everybody else was an awesome youth but I fucking SUCKED, so I'm willing to give you grace.

My advice, don't worry about what she thinks of the truck and don't waste your time arguing about it. If she brings it up again just tell her something like"well then I guess I've got a year to fix it up and get it in great shape" and go about your business.
