how do you manage to play videogames after having to get a job? 2 hours before going to bed just aren't enough
passive income somehow and a part time job? is this really the only solution?

do you work 14 hour shifts 7 days a week?

>>716261246 (OP)
no, you eventually just give up and only play rarely. I am a software cuck and hate my job. Too tired to play games so I only play like 4 hours each weekend. Used to play 12 hours a day when I was in uni. Loved my life then

>>716261246 (OP)
just make up a schedule and actually get yourself to game. i'm able to squeeze 3 hours of vidya a day as a wage slave.

I have a cozy office job so I am not exhausted from physical work. We also have shorter hours, 9-4:30 and work in property management so half of my day is waiting for people to call with problems while posting on /v/ or /fishing general/. I also love to cook so I generally do a big meal prep on Sundays which gives me more time during the week.

>>716261246 (OP)
Don't worry, eventually you'll get to the point where you get tired of video games after 30 minutes. Some time after that you won't want to play video games at all.

>wake up at 5
>workin at 7
>home at 15
>go to sleep at 22
I can play almost as much as I work

>>716261246 (OP)
I work 3 12 hour shifts a week. I have so much time for vidya it's unreal.

>>716261246 (OP)
I play gacha now

>>716261834
Gachas aren't video games.

>>716261246 (OP)
I wage part time at an Amazon and live with parents
I work 50+ hour weeks during busy season for extra dough
I really need a full time job though

I was gaming the system for awhile but that faggot Trump is ruining EVERYTHING. So I had to get a construction job. I really hope something happens with the Epstein list because this dude needs to GO!

>>716261246 (OP)
Play online with your friends

live 10 minutes from work
have 8.5 hour shift (unpaid lunch)
That's basically 9 hours of work and travel to/from
You have 15 hours left in the day
You should sleep 8 hours leaving you with 7 hours to fuck around and play video games.
Don't tell me you actually spend time grooming yourself and cooking food and cleaning house?

>>716262368
I don't live with my parents, so sadly I don't have the option of using them as my personal slaves.

>>716261779
Don't lie, I've never heard of a 3x12 employer that didn't force overtime on you

>>716262441
Ok, neither do I and it doesn't take me 7 hours to shower shave and cook.

>anons itt didnt invest to get passive income
lol, lmao even

>>716261246 (OP)
don't worry, after a while you won't actually want to play videogames either, you just do it to fill a void/waste time

>>716262603
You didn't invest, you gambled. Good job not ending up on the street and killing yourself like most of your ilk.

>>716262441
I live alone and I buy microwavable food to maximize free time, cooking is for chumps. I have an open-top 33 gallon contractor garbage can in my kitchen so I can reliably hit it from across the room, or the next room, which keeps cleaning time down. Laundry is one big load once a week, your mom bullshat you about how long it takes and separating colors and whites and all that to make it sound like she actually did something with her time. Never bother folding. Just toss it in a pile, and if you don't want wrinkles, buy fabrics that don't wrinkle.
Shower is 10 minutes before work, practically part of the commute as time management is concerned.

>>716261246 (OP)
For me it's taking a considerable chunk off my lifespan by sleeping for about 4 hours a night
>>716262441
Dude if you do like 20 minutes of tidying your place every day, lift and hop in the shower it barely takes any of your free time

>>716262447
I'm a respiratory therapist. This schedule is actually quite common. I can do overtime if I want to, but generally the work life balance is great.

>>716262767
>respiratory therapist
>uhh yeah just remember to breathe better lmao pay me now

>>716262703
I didn't gamble shit, I took advantage of covid like everyone else did

>>716262603
You need like a milly invested to live off of a passive income

>>716262894
I do

>>716262814
I CAN’T BREATHE

>>716262814
I save lives, get paid well, and get plenty of time to play vidya. Life is good.

>>716262892
You aren't living off of a passive income

>>716262975
>>716263032
>I save lives
Oh but you didn't save his? Fucking nazi

>>716262892
There is no such thing as passive income off investing with low startup capital.

>>716262971
Congrats but you gambled to get there or it was an inheritance

>>716261246 (OP)
I work less than full time B-)
I generally work five seven-hour shifts a week, but I also work five to six nine-hour shifts each month

>>716261246 (OP)
>passive income somehow and a part time job?
thats what I do. Made more on my Nintendo stocks this year than I will working

>>716263141
>not starting out by leverage trading with a gun next you on your desk in case you destroy your life
lmao

>>716262716
>lifting
waste of time

>>716261246 (OP)
I go in late, come back early and don't waste time on chores like cooking. It's not the most time but it frees up enough to play vidya and practice guitar for me.
Work from home would probably be better but at least I'm close to my workplace.

>>716261246 (OP)
working more than part time is slavery

>>716263407
>waste of time
I thought so too until I realized it stopped me from feeling depressed and shitty every day

>>716261246 (OP)
Sounds like youre not working hard enough if you still have 2 hours before bed you'll never make it in society like that

>>716261246 (OP)
Nigga get a slow cooker it will save you so much time
https://www.lecremedelacrumb.com/slow-cooker-general-tsos-chicken/
I bulk cook a shitload of food once a week, freeze most of it in portions and rotate what I defrost daily for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is usually an apple and banana or edamame.

>>716261246 (OP)
The point of having a job is to produce enough surplus value that it can be scraped by your owners for a profit and then paid back to you as a wage, bypassing the need to house and feed you themselves, not gaming.

>>716261246 (OP)
i was born retarded so i dont have to get a job
maybe you can pretend and get neetbux or something

>>716261246 (OP)
Work is so gay. I wish I could just get free stuff from the government but sadly I'm white.

>>716263707
>not making perpetual stew for max efficiency

>>716261246 (OP)
idk i've never had a job but i'm tired of games

>>716263753
All the capitalist countries are brown multicultural shitholes, while the “I wish I could just get free stuff” countries like Norway are white utopias. Sad!

>>716261246 (OP)
I finished university and work a normal 8 hour job. Considering I don't even need 8 hours of sleep, that's 6+ hours of free time. Same for all my friends.

>>716264979
You need 6-8 hours of sleep, if you're sleeping less than that you're literally speed running a multitude of diseases as you age.

>>716262441
????
>2 hours a week to clean my apartment
>use microwave or air frier to cook and it takes 20 minutes and 0 effort
>just pass trough the store on my way home from work to buy food it takes literally 15 minutes
>go to a big store to buy other household consumatives every few weeks and it takes an hour travel included
>washing a plate, glass and silverware takes literally 2 minutes after eating

Are you disabled or something? Unless you've got a disability these tasks need a trivial amount of time. If you've got a roommate or a girlfriend/boyfriend or whatever it's even less time since you can take turns to do the chores. This has to be ragebait.

>>716265223
I said I don't need 8 hours, 7 to 6 hours is enough, even on weekends when i'm free i usually sleep a maximum of 7 hours.

>>716261246 (OP)
I work remote making software and just play games during business hours. As long as the work gets done in the set timeframe they don't pry any further

>>716265223
>he wants to live past 40

>>716262714
Cooking is trivial. If you can make cereal you can make any food. Turn on the stove and put on the food and it's done

>>716265565
As long as you're getting more than 6. Don't let your health tank friend.
>>716266020
I don't know about you but 30 is the new 20 etc etc. It's only a matter of time before humans hit the next big leap in technological advancement I forge the exact term but were on the cusp of another leap in human advancement.

>go to work
>when you come back home play vidya
Maybe you stay a NEET if this is too hard for you.

>>716262714
>10 minute shower
This anon doesn’t scrub his skin or clean his asshole

>>716266354
Oh yeah I'd love to see the average /v/tard make al-kabsa or properly caramelize onions on their first attempt

>>716266652
Not him but I use body wash and a loofah every single day and shampoo/condition every other day and my showers are only like 10 minutes long because I choose to extend my time. I could probably do a full loofah/body wash job in two minutes if I tried

>>716266652
This dude taking hollywood showers.
>turn on water to get wet

WOW THE LONG DARK IT'S ABOUT BEING ALONE IN CANADA
WOWEE YOU NEED ONE HOUR TO DO THIS BETTER MAKE SURE THE TRASH CAN IS FULL OF AT LEAST ONE HOUR WORTH OF STICKS OR YOU GET TOO COLD LMAO
WATCH THE CIRCLE SPIN SPIN SPIN ISN'T THIS EPIC PROGRESSION
fuck these games back to 2009

I earn disability and work part time at a retail store, typically 8-12 hours a week. I also live with my parents and don't have to pay rent. I rarely play vidya anyways because I'm extremely depressed.

>>716267202
You haven’t experienced real depression until you hit a perpetual manic state where you can’t stop indulging in your addictions lest you fall off the mental cliffedge that you’ve been teetering over for half a decade into a catatonic state of unfathomable despair. I envy people who are “too depressed” to do what they want. You have no idea how good you still have it

>>716267475
>You haven’t experienced real depression until you hit a perpetual manic state where you can’t stop indulging in your addictions lest you fall off the mental cliffedge
Wait this is literally me right now.. what the fuck!

>enjoying a variety of foods is gay
I like everything from sushi to kosha mangsho to paella to shakshuka to tacos to beef bourguignon to potato salad. Its important to always try new things and expand your palate.

Nobody fucking works in most of these offices they just fuck around and bullshit and make meetings and phone call strangers and talk about sports.
There's a few Bartleby figures keeping civilization running somewhere because they haven't gotten the memo. They pay you to be there, not to do anything. Read your job descriptions carefully. You just have to look like you do the part.

>>716262441
holy shit this got a glorious laugh outta me

>>716267990
Gay.

>bruh we need you working from 9am to 5pm with only a thirty minute break for at least five days this week
translate:
>I might need you to do something weird but in the meantime there's just random bullshit that pops up so if you could do this or that sometimes without hurting yourself just please camp out here for a while thanks because it's convenient for everyone if we all leave at the same time so everyone knows where shit is

Boy am I glad I'm a fucking nepo baby and just sit in an air conditioned office all day while delegating tasks I don't want to do.

I started working at a car dealership. It's 10 hour days mon-thur, then a regular 9-5 on fri-sat.

I haven't opened a video game since I started.
