Got in the right tech startup, left with a quick 400k, and has spent the last 5 years just living off of it. He says he has 20k left and is starting to freak out about how he's going to get money in the future and explain to employers why he just sat around playing video games for 5 years.

Don't really get the mentality of someone who is able to live in the present to that extent and not see the cliff he's about to drive off of.

He claims he quit but he has a way of spinning things like that to his advantage. I suspect they weren't thrilled with his work - if he's been sitting around doing nothing for 5 years he probably wasn't a go-getter there.

You just don’t add to the fucking thing is what you do. Sooooo many games that people buy now were decidedly Rental Tier in the 90s…..
