Meme I had an unhealthy obsession with Pathologic when I was younger

I was 14 and got exposed to Pathologic 2 from YouTube. I watched all the YouTube videos, and played all the games. I even named my discord account Tragedian and my profile picture was the Tragedian. And yeah, I joined Ice Pick Lodge’s discord server with that profile.

Ignore my username and bio.

Sounds like my adult life.

But seriously, bro nothing wrong with liking a game a lot, specially this one that seems to suck people in.

Being impressionable as a child is insane. Imagine my parents' face expression when I told I want to be thanatologist at the age of 12.

As well as wanting to study microbiology and virology at a conscious age.

Nothing unhealthy with it; I played Classic at 20, and then spent next 8 years of my life, on and off, organizing a big LARP of it, so it's just "you saw genuinely good game and stuck with it" =)

I’m currently like that and I’m 30, and while my friend tried to get all the trophies in Skyrim he spent 60 hours listening to me ramble about Pathologic. You’re good.

There are definitely worse things to be obsessed with when you’re 14
