Parents are stuck in the unenviable position of remembering their sweet little boys sixth birthday party when we was so kind and polite to grandma. They remember their hope for his potential as he grew up.
This right here, this is why a lot of parents are very unlikely to straight up kick their child out of the house, especially if they are not financially stable and clearly have problems like Bosmanjack.
Was he an only child? I've never heard mention of siblings, that's also probably going to contribute to the attachment a bit.
Clearly they're sick of his shit, and yea they enable him by just allowing him to stream every night, but then again he's a fully grown adult so they can't really enforce any rules like "no Internet". But they
can legally throw him out. But they probably won't, it keeps him out of real fucking trouble, even if he's not in any way grateful or respectful to them for allowing him to live in their house rent free as they grow old.
While there's always an option to start out humble with a job, any job, at any age, and earn some consistent and honest money, and just better one's life, it's the gambling addiction that holds him back in a serious way. If he had a job he'll simply gamble all his pay on this shit, he won't save up, he won't consider his finances, he couldn't look after an apartment of his own, he'd get into endless debt no doubt.
So considering he's given 200 dollarydoos to gamble with all the time, and he lives in his parent's house, he has it fairly cushy compared to some, he's not even compelled to get a job, the casino knows this, they know they'll get that money back and then some, and they know he'll keep streaming.
Not to mention the fact that he would have to learn social skills and a bit of grace if he worked in the real world, he's been allowed to ride roughshod on his parents for too long, his only social interaction is the streams, so he'll even miss that if he just went cold turkey. He'd have to learn to be normal, and that's probably rather difficult for a man of his age with no network, no friends and no ambition.
Ironically enough gambling is probably the
only way he feels he can make a living. Perhaps it's the only thing he knows... While that's simply not true, it doesn't matter, he has a deal, the highs are high, the lows are expected, and it's all quite entertaining in the end of the day, it's predictable in a weirdly comfortable way from the perspective of a casual observer...
Come hell of high water, those winnings he crawls up to will be utterly lost in some dumb or just unfortunate bet, and we're right back to square one. Perhaps deep down we want to see him make it big, (that's content too) but that's also not exactly healthy for him either, because in the end of the day, the house wins, he'll lose that money one way or another...
And if time is money, he's already lost, because the amount of time he spends gambling hoping for the big bucks could have been spent doing anything productive.
How long until we see Door the Second? I hope it isn't viciously executed like the first one. Will he patch up that wall? Will one of these days his parents get so pissed off that they straight up interrupt his stream for more than 5 seconds and get into a real argument with him? Possibly giving us even more insight on their character?
Every time it happens btw it reminds me of an autistic guy I knew on Teamspeak, he would shout a lot, make stupid voices at the late hours of the night, and his parents would constantly tell him to stfu and go to bed, lots of hotmic moments. Difference is, he would awkwardly apologize and be quiet for the rest of the night. This guy though, he's either too jumpy on coke or too inconsiderate to at least lower the volume, must be a nightmare living with him lol. One of the traits I dislike about spergs is their inability to lower the volume.
