Released the Flash game MARDEK RPG in 2007 at the age of 17, . For a Flash game from that era, MARDEK was impressive. He drew, animated, composed, wrote and programmed everything himself, and appeared to possess talent in all of these domains. He programmed his own forum from scratch which went through various iterations and had some unique features.
He secretly created other forums with the intention of attracting the type of woman who would accept him after a Deviantart girl broke his heart, but this proved unsuccessful. For a while he only responded online to posts made by women, citing a "phobia" of men.
In the more-than-a-decade since, he made promising looking progress on other projects, but never managed to finish anything impressive. Recent posts on his blog (all forums were taken offline years ago) portray a Tobias that is as isolated, tortured and neurotic as ever

People talk about how it's never too late and share fluffy stories about how their 100 year old grandma went and got her PhD and met the love of her life in the process or whatever, but so much of that feels to me like placating adages parrotted by the guilt-shy or delusional. "Money doesn't buy happiness!" from the millionaire to the vagrant, "you don't need a relationship to be happy, I was honestly happier when I was single!" from the girl who's never been without a partner for longer than a month to the 30-year-old guy who's never so much as held a girl's hand...
I've lurked around online communities for social anxiety and the like for years now, and the posts by women are so often something like "I'm so awkward, I can't talk to people, I freeze up, I have nothing to say, I can't even leave my bedroom, I'm so lonely and have no friends and I hate it, if it wasn't for my boyfriend I-".
You might say I should talk more with other men. Even if I could easily shrug off the trauma, I just imagine that leading to either frustration at any venting I did being met with unwelcome advice, or maybe it'd just lead to a 'crabs in a bucket' scenario - like with the incel communities - where mutual bemoaning of our loserliness just trapped both of us in a vortex with little chance of escape.
The blogs remind me of an older version of @Pikabro or @Zangano1
