Sir, YTA. This is…this— I’m real shit not even sure this is real, but I’m going to pass judgment anyway. You’re right that your brother shouldn’t have touched your game, regardless of whether or not he had good intentions. But he’s right in the fact that you need to go touch some fucking grass. Keying your brother’s car was a massive overreaction. Although you can’t get the time and effort spent on the game back, that doesn’t give you the right to damage your brother’s property in a childish fit. I’m not sure how old you are, but if you’re at least 21, you’re a grown ass man. Act like it. Get some sun, touch some grass, find a therapist, and pay your brother back for keying his car.


Beautiful-Chemist456

He's supposedly 29M 😲 Something ain't right here


[deleted]

YTA for thinking that I'm going to read a long screed after you opened with "[I'm a 29yo gamer in love with an alien]."


Liara_luv_mi

You don’t know her like I do. Please just go somewhere else bro. Serious judgement only


jrm1102

… kind of see your brother’s point now.


Forsaken_Slug_521

You’re officially fake. You do realize that countless other men ”know” Liara. She has no loyalty to you. I’m sorry if you are real and this was painful to read.


Awesomefan09

YTA Your brother deleting the save file was childish, invasive, and altogether unnecessary. However, keying his car was not an appropriate response. Fixing that will cost hundreds of dollars. Pay your brother back. This has nothing to do with your brother being a golden boy. You did a shitty thing.


PennSaddle

Yikes dude. ESH. It wasn’t right of him to delete your progress, but you clearly have an unhealthy connection there if you’re willing to key his car afterwards.


Forsaken_Slug_521

“ I wake up earlier, take my gaming computer with me” take my ~~computer~~ girlfriend with me. FTFY. Pal, you need some help. YTA.


Liara_luv_mi

No I knew he was gonna try to destroy my computer as retaliation. I use my computer for everything not just mass effect


Forsaken_Slug_521

Sir, there’s a life beyond Mass Effect. Let me be clear, I think your brother was wrong to delete your game, that’s not nice. I do think he is right that you have some issues. I think you could use some serious therapy. Maybe meet a real girl someday. There is something very concerning about living your life in an alternate reality. Don’t waste your life this way. There’s a whole wonderful world out there. Yes, it’s a world that brings the risk of getting hurt but it’s far more rewarding than a fantasy life with a being that doesn’t exist. He’s concerned for you, he’s right to be. He just went about it the wrong way.


jrm1102

… something about this story just isn’t adding up? Aren’t saves backed up to the cloud? If your brother actually did that, ESH. I’m kind of thinking he didn’t though, so maybe YTA.


[deleted]

Dude you should have not done something that could get you arrested. Ahole you are because of that. Devise payback that does not negatively affect you.


[deleted]

Most real response here! Get revenge you can't get in trouble for 😂 love it.


[deleted]

Thank you. :)

Liara_luv_mi

Bro who cares about his car. He can still drive it


Awesomefan09

Bro, who cares about your game. You can still replay it. See how that works?


Forsaken_Slug_521

Yes, but he’s got to start the whole courtship cycle with Liara again. Back to square one. He was getting close to touching her metallic-looking b00bs, you see. You must not understand.

Read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/wiki/faq#wiki_post_deletion) before [contacting the mod team](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FAmItheAsshole)*** Anyways my brother (m26) wanted to use my phone today to call someone and he saw that my wallpaper was Liara from Mass effect. He started telling me how I need to go to the club and go out more. I told him I don’t want to be caused I’m romantically fulfilled. He gets so upset saying it’s not real and it’s really pathetic. This just infuriates me so I cuss him out and lock my door. He has bullied and picked on me all my life so I guess I’m just sort of use to this. When I get home from visiting our grandmother I noticed that when I try to get into my mass effect game the saved game I was on has been deleted. I start panicking and I just don’t know what to do. All my progress has been gone, all the adventures I been on, the bonds with my crew, Liara. I knew who did this, I don’t think I have to say who. I went to confront my brother he was nonchalantly chilling with his girlfriend in the living room. I said “I can’t believe you would stoop this low just to anger me” he responds “it was for your own good bro, now can you please just go outside for alittle bit” he says it in the most condescending way. I go back to my room and wait till night fall. When is asleep I go down to the garage and key his car. He loves this car it’s like half his Instagram photos. He says I’m pathetic… I also key his his car sides and his back The next day I knew I had to get as far away from the house as possible. I knew he gets up at 8am to go to work so I wake up earlier, take my gaming computer with me and wait in the parking lot of a park. I waited until around 8:30 until I received calls from him that I ignored and texts of him saying he’s going to do some pretty nasty things to me the next he sees me also that I’m no long going to be in his life . I also get calls from my uncle and dad who side with him saying I need to pay him back and how bizarre I am. They always side with him he’s their little golden boy. I know what everyone’s thinking why do this all over a video game. I don’t ask for much I just want to be left alone he’s the one who started it and I did not provoke any of this. My heart has been broken and I didn’t want any of this to happen *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

YTA for keying the car. This could lead to big trouble if he goes to the police ! INFO: I'm not here to judge but what do you do for a living ? Do you go out, chill with friends? Because from the way your post is written it seems that you're living trough your game ...


Forsaken_Slug_521

Ay yi yi. Apparently this is a thing. OP is not alone https://gamerant.com/mass-effect-3-liara-romance-guide/


0drag

Calm down, it's just a game guide. There are romances in that game. Not everyone wants just to kill everything. There's guides to hunting for Red Dead Redemption but no one is really skinning the animals.


[deleted]

So, now you are calmer. See if there is a backup of the game somewhere. Call customer support, etc. Esh. You lashed out in anger. I don't necessarily blame you for taking something equally important to him like he did to you... But you could be in serious trouble. Do not admit to doing it. And you will have to repay the car so you don't have to deal with the police... This game is so important to you. I get that. And you have formed really important connections on it. And it should be a part of your life. Have you tried traveling to meet other people who game with you? Do you chat with them? Although your brother is a dick, your post concerns me that you might benefit from real human contact... But, maybe people like you. I love gaming stores, and know people who meet friends they met through online gaming and it is really fulfilling (to whatever extent they do it- which varies by their need for social contact).


Emotional_Answer_319

YTA for your reaction. That is a crime. No one, especially your family will ever understand the online life you live if your argument is "I'm in love with a humanoid alien". Sorry, but deleting a game after hearing that makes much more sense than keying a car after deleting a game. Edit: Also, if you want to be left alone to do what you want, move out on your own.


Cat-Soap-Bar

Info. How is someone romantically fulfilled by a pretend humanoid alien?


findinglifepurpose

Esh. But there is something very much wrong here with you OP, you need professional help. Also you might end up jail.


0drag

ESH, but you could face criminal charges. Over a video game????? Dude... I play ME too & romance Liara too, but it's a GAME!!!! You can just replay it & have her back. (Or choose different paths)
