How do NEETs manage to play video games all day?
Whenever I'm unemployed I have no energy, I avoid leaving my room or being seen a single time out of shame, and I can rarely manage to start playing a game without this leadweight feeling in my chest, so I turn the game and myself off.

No shame, only passion.
Also, get your act together and go touch grass.

Because they have free time. Now, waging all day and then coming home exhausted just to have to do all your daily rituals and routines while trying to balance enough hours of sleep to survive the next day of wagery? Now that leaves you little time for vidya.

neet for 10 years here
I don't usually play anything except when /v/ has lobbies up
I'm so horribly lonely and my life is falling apart and I'm not capable of dealing with it and being independent

Have a personal project that you can do before playing a game. But that personal project is never a job, remember that.

It's your vocation and shouldn't be overdone as you will grow to hate it otherwise.

The longer I've been a NEET, the more I understand that these kinds of delusions are necessary to avoid the burden of the inferiority complex and the pain of seeing what a dysfunctional subhuman you are.

Psychologically submitting to artificial social milestones will do that do you, yes. Bear in mind that the wagies won't look upon you any more fondly for your kowtowing though.

That's precisely what all NEETs do, unless it's a mindless F2P game with infinite grind.

When I was a NEET, I went to the gym, tried different hobbies, played lots of vidya, and was in the best shape physically and mentally in my life. Now I just work all the time to survive and hate it. I wanna be a NEET again...

I'm sure some people genuinely don't feel the shame associated with NEETdom whether they should or not, or believe being a NEET is a good thing. But I think assuming NEETs here are playing vidya all day isn't accurate, many just browse this site or do less productive things. Being employed tends to give people more focus to do the things they're looking forward to when they're not working, even if they have less time.

By playing actual games that I like, not just overhyped slop and whatever shills keep recommending..
Being a NEET for decades has made me immune to fomo because I can't afford anything. And having access to majority of games through the high seas has taught me how to choose what game to play.
Also don't fap every 2 hours.

It’s called being spooked by higher callings like “employment.”

I quit video games in my mid teens because I was depressed and lonely and have struggled to get back into them.

They play games that are like chores (e.g WoW) so the games they play feels like work to them.

I was unemployed for 2 years. The answer is weed. Weed makes everything more enjoyable and makes it easier to shake off the shame.

It makes you complacent as fuck though, and heavily impairs your motor functions. I don't recommend it.

Although I have a job now and am mostly trying to go sober, that's awful too. So I'm not sure what I'd not recommend harder.

People that go:
>you should touch grass and do things I LIKE
Are fucking retarded and can't understand that people are different from them.
However as a old lady that looks hotter as a raccoon says, "try new things, make mistakes, get messy".
You should try many new things to see what you like, to understand yourself and your tastes, even in terms of games, you should try more stuffs. do shit like getting a whole sega genesis ROM pack and trying rom by rom to see what you like.

Learn about yourself.

Based and tragically correct-pilled. It’s not just employment though-it’s that whisper in your head that says “you should be doing something important,” even when you know damn well you’re not equipped to do anything remotely close to “important.” So you sit there, game open, and your brain goes “this is a waste of time,” but then it also says “you’re wasting time not doing something,” and then both thoughts cancel out and you Alt+F4 and stare at the wall. We've reached enlightenment through apathy.

I walk for 60 minutes a day, do garden work, a bit of volunteer service, I babysit too and stuff. I spend a lot of time away from my PC (I don't own a cell phone or anything, never have)

I'm a NEET, and I am so because I'm sick and have no energy in the first place, and I don't manage to play games all day. I rarely play anything. Every day is a struggle to pass the time without going insane, and I'm losing.
