35-40 You realize you've spent so much time trying to level up that you haven't done any of the fun quests and crafting you really wanted to do, so you start focusing on those.

40-45 You look around and realize you've somehow managed to accrue skills and experience and loot and feel cringingly compelled to give advice to other players who are newer to the game. "When I was your level..."

Yep, that's why I plan my suicide on 35th birthday

988 suicide hotline... You're probably just joking, but just in case

No jokes. Want my steam library?

I don't not want it... When's your 35th birthday?

Feel free to DM me... Or do call 988... Whatever is troubling you, there's help available. Don't take yourself out before you get to do the the fun side quests!

Do not worry, really. I've been in therapy for a long time and it's my decision that I've made back in 2020. I'm absolutely sane

If you've only got a year left, do some wild stuff different from your current life, experience all the things you won't be able to experience after. Do all the things that you'd say no to like traveling cheaply/hitchhiking/walking, falling in love carelessly, speaking freely, and even starving, and disappointing people.

There are no experiences once you opt out, so, yolo it unironically.

Potentially at some point you think it's still worthwhile living, but, if not, at least you experienced as much as you could.

The sky's the limit, most people don't do things because of their long term effects and chance for death and harm - if you don't have that limit - use it to your advantage

Well, alright... I hope you're not suffering... Best of luck to you
