>Work 5-6 days a week
>Day off
>Have to build up the urge to play before I can
>Burned out in an hour, get more frustrated than usual when stuck because wageslave and I feel like I'm wasting my day off beating my head against a wall instead of enjoying/progressing in a game
This was not a problem when I was NEET
It's especially bad for games that take effort (skillwise or puzzle solving) I can see why normies love derivative casual sludge now, holy shit what a nightmare
Calm the fuck down you little bitch, there's no difference between you in your off time now and you when you were a NEET except now you're not fucking worthless. Quit psyching yourself out, take a deep breath, don't create problems that don't exist. Go play a videogame.
what op says is true tho
it's much harder to keep getting gud when you have much less time for vidya
Play smarter, not harder.
>Work 5-6 days a week
>Cherish my relaxation time so much that playing vidya feels like a waste of time because I don't want to get sucked in to a game and watch the hours go by in a blink
>Instead decide to shitpost and do nothing at all because that's somehow 'better'
yes and this applies for every hobby when you have a job not just vidya.
I'm just saying I can see why workslaves love games where there is no learning curve or harsh punishments for failure (backtracking, never being able to get into the top echelon or see content reserved for hardcore) etc
Are you me?
>Work 2 jobs 6 days a week, one is full-time and the other is part-time
>Play vidya and basically do what I want during my FT job as I have a private office
>The other I have to pay attention at but it's only 2-3 hours across a few days
Get into construction and become a site safety manager or fire safety manager, people. The second is my paramedic job working for schools during their after-school practices, I do that since I've been an EMT forever anyway.
Frighteningly accurate
I work two jobs 6 days a week and can still manage to put good hours in to the couple MMOS I play in between work, sleep, and my days off. Legit you retards just can't adapt from the NEET life for some reason. There is no time barrier to vidya
>don't work
>have no money
>feel like trash
>work
>barely enough time to enjoying hobbies
>constantly mentally tired
>feels like trash
There's no winning.
Absolute nonsense, get over yourself you fucking baby
It was even worse for me when I as a NEET
I had zero motivation to do anything
i still play vidya, but i can't enjoy hard games as i used to
it sucks when i get stuck trying to beat a boss or something
Great arguments, we're done here
This is a weak excuse for just being shit at work and videogames. Get used to work kiddo, making your own living is important and if the rest of the world can manage it so can you. Fuck this thread is full of the most pathetic bastards in history.
>Crying that you're working instead of being an asspie NEET and not having time for vidya
Get a better job then
>painfully aware of how little time i have to enjoy myself before I have to work again.
>dont play vidya
>>work
>>barely enough time to enjoying hobbies
>>constantly mentally tired
>>feels like trash
The trick is to find ways to off-load your work (especially time-consuming work) onto others while still claiming credit.
>work Tuesday to Saturday
>9 hours a day
>get home at 6
>relax for an hour with a cup of rum
>play PC from 7-9
>play PS4 from 9-11
>watch roommate play note from 11-12 while shooting the shit
>go to sleep
Why do you guys have so much trouble managing your time? Also, why do you treat playing video games as a second job that requires all your investment? It's a hobby for escapism. To relax and enjoy yourself. It's not a second job. Calm down, guys. Video games are not serious business. They're an entertainment.
Why are americans such wagekeks?
Sorry, did you want a juice box and a cookie to help mend that hurt? Or are you going to grow a pair and go beat a boss? Don't bother replying if you're just going to keep bitching
yes i want a fucking cookie
>be at the stage of your life where you go to work
>still playing video games
Do like this user does
and inflate your ego by being an internet tough guy.
>>Truth hurts user, but you're a little bitch and none of these things are real problems.
Don't play vidya if you don't feel like it. It's a fucking hobby not a neccesity.
This guy gets it, if you just quit bitching everything turns around really quick. You babies honestly just need to grow a fucking spine and manage your time, you know. Like an adult.
>I can see why normies love derivative casual sludge
>still manage to put good hours in to the couple MMOS
Thanks for proving OP's words.
>Finally get a day off in two months
>Just lay in bed for the majority of it because fuck its good to just stop existing for a while
I'm not depressed, I just want to opt out of life. There is nothing here for me
>Implying endgame doesn't take significant effort, time and planning to achieve maximum success
Sorry buddy but you're a dumbass
At least we get OT after 40 hours a week, holiday pay and benefits depending on where you work. Japs don't get any of that.
I like me job better than I like vidya. Vidya is only my third favorite hobby too so if I'm playing it for long hours it means I've most likely completely run out of other things to do.
No. I find it's an age thing. I had triple the level of skill I have now five years ago.
>have about ten hours a week available for gaming
>check out interesting game info
>game length 90-100 hours
And then I don't bother with it. Can't bring myself to spend 3 months on one game. Hell most those games are story heavy and would mean at the end I'd be forgetting details from three months ago.
Watching Neets realizing the repercussions of living such a sendentary lifestyle is such a hoot, GO BIG OR STAY HOME
So you get about 7 hours sleep, don't cook any dinner and drink a cup of rum every day. I'm sure it's great and all for you but I started to realise I'm not happy if I have to drink every day after getting home from work.
>Be NEET
>Sleep in to the afternoon, wake up refreshed and with no worries whatsoever
>Enjoy my gourmet lunch prepared with the freshest ingredients I had first dibs on because all the little wageslaves are toiling away in stuffy offices and on stinky shopfloors
>Settle down to catch up on all the newest airing anime before anyone else and enjoying riveting discussion with fellow NEET on the world wide anime image board
>There are still many hours left in my day and I am not yet tired, so I decide to work through my rapidly depleting backlog of video games that I am investing my boundless free time in
>With another game scratched off the list I get to discussing it with fellow NEET on the world wide video game image board
>By now the sun is setting as the tired and haggard work drones shuffle back to their hives with no energy left in their bodies
>I am already settling down for dinner, enjoying the many hours left in my fulfilling day and wondering what to do next with my freedom
>Parents die
>55 years no work experience
>Can't get a job
>Slowly starve to death, ramen is expensive when you earn no money
I don't eat dinner. I eat breakfast, and lunch when I'm at work. 7 hours is enough for me. 8 hours and I start feeling too sluggish. I also don't drink to get drunk. Just have a few ounces to unwind and relax while listening to some music or watching TV.
I bet its not only videogames you havestruggle toenjoy and since you are still very fond of the memory of beeing neet you probably dont havethe job for long. Give yourself some time, you are not only what you think. Somedays i can jerk 6 times a day sometimes i cant get hard for weeks.
Every time I see these threads it's always about work - isn't there some other stuff that being a "self-sufficent" wageslave entails that detracts from vidya? Like taxes and appointments and shit?
Actually Japan has more holidays and days off than America.
Who are you quoting?
>implying you're not spending 90% of time grinding for levels/reagents/dailies/flasks/whatever
MMOs are one of the most braindead games ever. Literally. You're spending hundreds of hours on the most mindless and boring gameplay ever invented by humanity just so you could spend 5 hours per week on some cool bosses.
Taxes are easy as shit and you should only need to go to appointments when you reach 50.
Welcome to being an adult. Same here.
Use to game for like 10 hours a day. Now won't game 10 hours total in a week. Just don't have the time.
I fucked up, that was meant to go to Figured I'd ignore that mistake and maybe the thread might as well
>work 3 12-hour shifts/week
>enjoy vidya more than my NEET days since my gaming time is more limited
You're probably depressed or something, OP. Seek help.
>You should only need appointments when you're 50
Don't be those user who need the dentist BADLY but act like they're too good for a cleaning
When you assume you make an ass of you, I'm busy grouping for queues and annihilating in open PvP zones. Just because you're as boring as petrofied dust doesn't mean the rest of the playerbase is.
Becoming a wageslave made me a lot more picky about vidyo. Meaning, if it's not fun it gets dropped fast. Fake difficulty? Use cheats/savestates. And so on.
Wagecucks in this thread make me so glad I live off a trust fund and checks from inherited properties.
That's not true at all though. The progression minded guild I used to be in WoW was filled of people that worked full-time jobs and some were even parents as well.
The people that play the turbo casual games are mostly people that weren't playing games until turbo casual games were a commonplace thing.
Tell me about it. At least working cured my MMO addiction, but it's hard to get motivated when you have such little time for yourself. I'm grateful just to have two days off in a row, a lot of people don't even get that these days.
Make daddy proud user
I'm not even a wagie right now and I do this. I don't put up with limited continues, 'meh' games, or collectathon autism and my gaming enjoyment has doubled.
NEETs should be the first people ground into soylent. Fucking worthless human beings
>tfw same feel
I swear everyone on this board is mentally ill and at least 100% depressed
Sounds like you have a shit life, honestly.
Make Mr. Goldstein proud user
>tfw you realize all the time spent on Sup Forums could've been spent playing vidya
>Work 5-6 days a week
>Finally have time off
>GF wants the cock every other fucking hour and an hour nap in between during the afterglow
>Load up console
>Her account already completed all the games I plan to play and I'm only in the starting chapters
I wish I was fucking NEET.
That will never happen sadly, I'm not a jew
>normally enjoy my alone time
>out of nowhere, can't get comfortable alone, have to go out and be around people
Im becoming chad
If you feel worthless as a NEET then you're doing it wrong.
I understand that pain kinda, user
>Plus plus sized girlfriend (not ashamed)
>The most wild cravings for D I've ever seen a woman suffer
>Gives amazing head but it doesn't stop
>TFW honestly got tired of blowjobs after awhile
That was a fucked up situation.
I think the issue here is whatever's making you feel like trash. Check your diet.
This is what happened to me after getting two days off in a row. I just laid in bed and slept, I tried to get up to play vidya but couldn't get motivated and went back to bed but now my shoulder hurts from laying down too long. Luckily I don't need to be in until late this afternoon, I might just go back to bed and take some ibuprofen.
>not fucking worthless
You're still worthless, moronic wagecuck, they'll replace you in a week or less
I guarantee the more time you stay in bed the lest rested you'll be.
>day off have to choose between multiple hobbies from when I was NEET
>end up on Sup Forums all day
Maybe I should finally buy that Sup Forums gold account.
Sup Forums
is
not
your
blog
I feel you. Here I am, browsing and posting on Sup Forums when I could be playing vidya.
I was like this until I started exercising again, then meditating, then getting up early.
You just have to give yourself little challenges, one at a time. They become habits and second nature, and start to form a framework that gives you more time than you started with and the motivation to use it.
You really think someone like that will live for 55 years?
My family is stupid rich and I still go to work because I enjoy it, always have. Pay most of my own bills too.
I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have my job, die of boredom I guess. I already have a hard time finding ways to occupy the time on weekends.
source?
Don't play games anymore then.
Life is too short to waste on something you no longer have fun with.
Find a new hobby.
Is downing a bottle of vodka and playing video games every weekend a healthy lifestyle?
Kek look at this retard. MMO's are baby tier easy it's just a huge time sink to grind good equips
I'm a business owner who's just put the down payment on a house, and I'm 24. I understand achieving things is a foreign concept to NEETs but you can't make me feel any shame about my life compared to the complete waste of time you're living
You're the kind of kid I waste in PvP and then you bitch about macros or something
You live a sad life then user. When I was a NEET I could occupy myself with endless activities and was never once bored.
Yes I do, I get resumes from them every once in awhile
I know this feel also. Gf is constantly after it, and gets super depressed and paranoid if I tell her I'm not in the mood. I feel compelled to fuck even when I don't want to, and shit, there are some times that I'm in the mood but I wish I could go back to jerking it to porn just for a change of pace. This would have been awesome back when I was 16 but I would honestly be good with cutting it back to once a week, maybe even a little less.
Nice projecting faggot
>dumbass NEETS literally think everyone who works is a wageslave working for minimum wage
Keep deluding yourselves you useless retards hahaha *sips champagne*
I miss this life.

It's not fair. I plan to commit suicide next year though so it gives me something to look forward to.
But I love my job, my job is fun.
1v1 me faggot, see what happens
>being 22 goddamn years old and forced to eat drugs
what the fuck
What's your job
I get a wage for business consulting then $24 an hour to teach percussion at night
To be fair, you'd probably live a more fulfilling life living 55 years for yourself than living 78 years where you give up 5-6 days a week wage slaving.
International Sales for a consumer electronics company. I get to travel around the world getting drunk with foreigners while convincing them to buy headphones/speakers, etc. It's fun.
>NEET
>The only reason to play vidya is to burn time since most vidya today is shit
>Start working
>Realize that I'm not having fun playing random shit and don't wanna waste time
>Play only good vidya
>If there's no good vidya, use the money I now have to hang out outside\find a better hobby
Absolutely not because the NEET life doesn't get me anything I want. I'm not satisfied with a basement corner, I want to smoke my own meats and own a property in the mountains and get my own scuba gear together, all of which will never happen if I'm not making my own future happen.
Ahahahahaa, suuure you are buddy. We're all business owners here. hahahaha!!
