How did you pay for your gaming console or PC?

neetbucks

I sell plasma. Get $50 a visit

By honest hard work. Got myself a used fat PS5 last year. I dont need more, considering how little I play.

Blowjobs.

how long would have taken him to get it working a part time job paying the minimum wage of Germany?

>>717288867 (OP)
Wtf?! Why would you deprive homeless people of their income for overpriced no games

>>717288867 (OP)
graduation gift
had to do really well in school

>>717288867 (OP)
How will he buy games tho ?

>>717289374
A month
Or 3 month of neetbux with bread and water

with my credit card so i can get cash back, then i pay off the balance before interest accrues
jews HATE this

my ps4 and ps5 were stolen. pretty sure my brother stole our ps3 back around the launch of the console. my pc, switch and xbox were bought with real money.

You could buy a top gaming PC with a months salary, yes even minimum wage. Less than a week for a ps5

Work. My PC makes me money apart from playing games and the other stuff I can do with it.

Because fuck 'em.
And fuck you.

I got lucky and actually own my own apartment so I get to keep a decent amount of money for myself as opposed to renting.
I also don't smoke, drink or do drugs so I save a lot of money from just that.
I mostly play 20+ y/o games so I never thought about upgrading but I might do it so I can generate AI sloppa for myself.

PC gaming is expensive.

>>717288867 (OP)
I got a job and saved up to buy the PC. I still live with mommy and daddy but I pay for my own games, other things like electronics, car (+maintenance and insurance) and clothes. I offer to pay for groceries every week but get turned down.

Is this supposed to be bad or cringe or something? The only problem here is that the litterers weren't tracked down and executed.

>>717289991
kurwaaaa

>>717288867 (OP)
I saved money over the years. Doing it again for my next PC.

>>717289756
wait you don't have separate PCs for work and gaming?

>>717288867 (OP)
I have a job.

>>717289991
in that case, I dont consider russia as europe

>>717289982
Same. Except I don't pay for car insurance because THEY wanted to buy a new car and I was not swallowing the 6x more expensive insurance lmao.

>>717289374
I feel like it was more for the weight loss and something to do vs actually needing to scrounge like a crackhead.

Sold back 15 days of vacations to my employer for steam deck + gaming laptop

>>717290148
yeah I cringe less at the weight loss and more at the need to post it for attention like we should be impressed.

>>717290106
Why would I?
>>717290194
When will you be able to play with them? 2029?

>>717290043
It's cringe because that level of effort could have gotten the guy a job that would've made more money in less time and then he'd still have a job.

>>717290194
>>717289991
European thread btw.

>>717290148
thats my interpretation as well. wageslaving to get a console would feel less rewarding than making a hobby out of going out and collecting bottles.

>>717289374
I wonder if he has a job and this was done as a way to not dip into his working income for a luxury item. Sounds autistic considering the time investment, yes. But he is German.

>>717289824
It's incredible to see coworkers who live paycheck-to-paycheck are somehow able to afford to smoke 2 packs a day.

>>717288867 (OP)
thats kinda neat, I mean, Im not gonna do it but good for him I guess

>>717290194
And now you have no time to play them

>>717290279
undisciplined unprofessional poorfag behaviour to even ask why. I bet you use the same PC to look up porn to jack off too.

Damn if I got 25 cents per bottle to recycle I'd be making a profit buying bottled water

>>717290345
Most people have shit lifestyle. Cigs + energy drinks, not making your own food but eating at slop take aways. Driving short distances in petrol guzzles. Then blame everyone but themselves that they always poor and feel like shit.

>>717289854
Pc gaming is only for the elites

>>717290448
Thanks for the non-answer.

>>717290505
At least where im from if you buy bottle in shop you already pay the price for the bottle to get recycled. So you get the money back when you deposit the bottle later. Only profit is from out in the wild thrown out bottles
