Homeless Destiny Gamer..

I am a recent victim of homelessness. Before you judge me, I have been through a lot in my short lifetime. And although it is my fault that I am homeless, I am not a felon or a junkie, just a young man who lost his way. I am hoping to find a kind-hearted guardian that is willing to spare their couch in exchange for help with your Destiny characters. I know it sounds silly, but video games are what I am best at and I really don't have much else to offer given my current situation. I know this post may as well be on Craislist, but I have been involved in the Destiny community for some time now and figured it couldn't hurt to try. If you must hate on his thread, then so be it. But for those of you who have something positive to share, god bless you and may RNGesus be with you. Until next time, game on guardians. Edit 1: I am currently located in Southern California. Edit 2: I truly was not expecting even the small amount of support I have received. Your guys words have touched me and made tonight's weather seem a little warmer than it really is. Edit 3: Wow. Just wow. I truly was not expecting this immense amount of support and encouragement. For those who are doubting the truth to my circumstances, I don't blame you, the Internet is full of lies, but I cant understand why someone would lie about being homeless if they have a roof over their head? Unfortunately, my story remains true regardless of the hateful things a few of you have to say. With all that being said, I was born and raised in NorCal in a s town called Mountain View(Google was founded there!). I have worked customer service jobs since I was 16 and my ability to articulately communicate with people has gotten me everything I have in life. I've never been a desk and computer guy, but put me in a job with tons of co workers and I thrive like a well-tuned engine. It's hard to express my personality through the keys of this phone, but I truly am a genuine guy just trying to find his way. For those that disagree with my approach, I respect your opinion. It feels like my back is against the wall and it just felt like a good idea at the time of the post. And once again, I can't thank you guys enough. Anyone who left a comment full of words of encouragement, you rock. You guys will be part of my success story one day I can only hope. Until then though, game on guardians and hopefully I'll be able to do the same someday. [b]Edit 4: I understand part of this post may seem a little odd. At the time I posted, offering my help within the game of Destiny seemed like the best thing to offer. I thought, "the people of this community don't want their lawn mown, they want to make it to the lighthouse." Which is why I offered my services in Destiny rather than side jobs around the house. I realize it sounded bad but in all honesty it seemed like the best idea at the time.[/b] [b]Edit 5: I truly did not expect this thread to receive this amount of traffic. I understand that those who don't read the entire thread will probably count me off as a lost cause and for my poor execution, I completely understand that viewpoint. Regardless of the way some feel, I have been touched by the amount of extended support and encouragement I have received from this community. For those who are actually offended by my thread, I can't apologize for my unorthodox attempt at bettering my situation, because as I've said countless times now, it truly felt like a not-so-bad idea at the time. Thanks again guardians for your continued support. Best regards, Factor.[/b]

                So you are expecting someone to feed you and put a roof over your head while you sit on your ass doing the only thing you are good in life, playing video games? My god grow the -blam!- up and get a pair kid I moved out on my own when I was 18 and never went homeless. In fact I'm 23 making close to 70k/year after taxes and never sat behind a desk. Grab a shovel and start digging you lazy scrubby bum.

                    ProTip: Move edit 4 to the top :) and/or put it in bold. It would stop people from stopping at the "Im good at Destiny thats it" section. Edit: Also state the reason of homelessness, or actually get off the Destiny forums and go to a website that would genuinely help.

                  • Reason for homelessness? Do you have any other skills in life other than reaching the lighthouse? Age? Any other amplifying information? Personally I view video games as a reward and not a job or a means to earn your keep. Maybe try offering other things?

                      From good sunny ol' New England! Honestly man I feel for you I may be only some goofball 16 year old but that's rough man. You deserve more than this BS some people say to you on this post like come on would they like it if they were in the same situation no. But quite frankly facing the flood and asking for help wasn't exactly smart these are the same guys that got pissed that an NPC wasn't selling ammo. I truly hope things go better for you and as people say Texas is a great place to move they don't have many property taxes and such. Also military is a good choice I myself am I JROTC cadet and I find myself even without proper military status getting respect and support from even my mayor in Cranston Rhode Island so yea, hope it gets better for you Signing off, Cadet 2nd lieutenant S.C.S

Stop begging, grow a pair and man the Fck up for Christ's sake. I hope someone spits in your worthless face.
