Anons with job

>love both JRPG and WRPG
>most of them take over 50 hours to full enjoy
>have to work

how do u guys manage your time?

Play video games at work

get the handheld versions and play it on the go every chance you get

Dont have mad kids in your younger years. What's wrong with playing a game over the course of a month anyways?

Play a genre with less single player grinding and huge worlds where 50% of the time spent playing is just straight walking from A to B.

dont have kids, dont have gf, dont have friends, dont have pets

i wait for the weekend to come, then once its there and i finally get to enjoy vidya as much as i want to i play 2 hours then lose interest.

the past month ive installed and barely played 10 games i all had every intention of completing to the fullest

Games take me weeks/month/months to beat instead of nights.

Its actually great. I've heard the term content locust to describe NEETs before and it's correct. They play and beat a game in 20-30 hours then freak out that they didn't get several thousand hours of value from it.

If you have a family, you don't.

If you don't have a family, you get to play on the weekends or when you get home.

Yeah, having a job is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes I wish back upon my NEET days where I had all the time in the world, but then I quickly remember how I had to live on social welfare.

Stop having a social life other then your job, there now you have time and money to play those sexy rpgs.

By growing up and stop playing with kids toys

I quit my job because a tyrannical "lady" boss decided she didn't want me to progress in my career within the company.

Since then i was able to finish pretty much every RPG i wanted to finish.

Since i didn't even have a social life outside of my job it meant for some time i've been using my time for my two hobbies, videogames and landscape photography.

i saved plenty of money and my computer is relatively "future proof" so it's been good.

and instead spending time arguing with other kids in the internet about those kid's toys.

noice

>Play an hour on average
>Have 30 hours put in at the end of the month.

RPGs are supposed to take a few weeks/few months to beat.

Just play when you can. I've been playing Witcher 3 since release and just hit 30 hours in game.

Also makes the time you spend gaming more enjoyable because you know it's a treat.

This. Being a social failure has its perks, once my shift is over I have nothing else to do but play vidya and funpost on /vee/ till I drop asleep

>I quit my job because a tyrannical "lady" boss decided she didn't want me to progress in my career within the company.

Can't you find like 1 or 2 hours a day to get some grindan in?

You don't play it in one sitting you fucking retard.

The only things I've done in the last 9 years are work, sleep and play video games.
I don't do other activities.

Sure, I'll eat, bathe and shit occasionally, and I have to walk to work, go buy supplies at the supermarket and such.
But the only actually lengthy activities, the only planned things I do are these - work, sleep, video games.

I manage just fine. My backlog has stabilized over the last couple of years, even though the number of good-enough-to-play games coming out is record high.

as you get older, your body requires less sleep. i'm 27 years old and i can function for a full day with about 4 hours of sleep every night. so i get off work at 5, get home at 6:30, eat dinner, and play games from 8pm to 3am.

Make do with what you have. I'm married, work 50+ hours a week, have a son with another due in a few weeks. I have Sunday night when I stay up late to get back on my graveyard shift schedule to play. Makes games like the witcher take forever but it also saved me money because now before I buy a game I think ”i won't have time what's the point".

>as you get older, your body requires less sleep.

Yeah. 9 hours a day between 15 and 40, and 7 hours a day at 40+.
You aren't getting enough sleep.

One to two hours a day. Maybe a few more in weekends. Finish ToCS in about a month and I put in around 70-80 hours in the first run

I wish this was my life

>i'm 27 years old and i can function for a full day with about 4 hours of sleep every night

maybe you can function, but you definitely can't focus properly.

the whole "im just different, i guess i only need 3-4hrs sleep" is a myth

i can't and i only work part time. i need my 8 hours, its suffering to the max

>finished bachelor back in january
>haha, time for job
>lol no
>unemployed for 6 months
>finally got a job, starting in two days
>met one of my old study buddies
>we got a job almost the same week
>he was unemployed for almost two years
Will be interesting to see how much time and energy I will have for vidya when i start working.

Playing rainbow six siege, far cry 4, age of empires and some dark souls 4 at the moment.

i can focus just fine. i crash around 3pm but that's why i stopped drinking coffee in the morning, and i save it for then. then i take a cold shower after dinner and i can stay awake for the whole night.

u are probably knocking years off ur life

Getting a job made me appreciate handhelds a lot more. It's nice playing Mon Hun with co-workers on break.

And when you're too tired to really use your PC or console, it's comfy playing it on your bed and chilling.

>work a 9 to 5 job
>raising my daughter alone
>she is old enough now that we can play games together
>she is into vidya and anime
>she likes that her dad is a 'nerd'
I won life i guess

Who 4-5 hours of sleep during the week, 10-12 during the weekend here?

i don't care, the only woman i ever cared about married another man, and my family is all i have left. so the sooner i kick the bucket, the better. i can leave my younger siblings a nice inheritance and start pushing up daisies.

how did you manage it in k-12

its the same shit, school literally grooms you for a 9 to 5.

Easy
>Work from 7 am to 15 pm
>Get home
>Don't have gf or friends
>Only things to do is play videogames, go to the gym and make food
>Have all the free time I want in weekends except on sundays when I have to visit the family
For me it was pretty easy once I finished college, you only run out of time if you have a big circle of friends and a gf.

Limit your meatspace social life and you'll have plenty of time honestly. It does get a bit difficult if you play mmos or fps games alongside other games though, since the former fight the latter.

>works in lab
>6 days per week
>can't bring handheld in
>have to prepare protocol and analyze data on Sunday

now i fucking hate my childhood self for wanting to be scientist

>using am and pm on 24 hour time
WHY???

I know what you mean, but you could get friends and a gf that enjoy video games. Yeah, I know that it's not an easy thing to do...
I have both, but they're plebs

How about, you know, stop playing games and grow up?

You're really using your man hours to fund a literal time waster? So you're going to work 8 hours a day so you can throw that hard earned cash into the trash can? You aren't a 12 year old anymore. Your hard working man hour dollars should be put towards a house, a car, food, and living life.

No successful self respecting adult owns a video game system and worries about when he'll have time to play. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you'll be happier in life, and the sooner you're happier in life, the sooner you will excel and transcend from man-child to adult.

...

When I get really addicted to a game, I can manage to play 120 hours in 2 weeks (steam) while working an 8-5. Most weeks, I only play a couple hours a day by choice since games rarely seem more appealing than laying around and mindlessly watching a show or something. The lack of energy to enjoy games is the biggest difference I noticed after becoming a wageslave.

Haha you're right, didn't notice

What if you're happy playing videogames?

Only play like 3 RPGs a year.

living the dream user.

>dark souls 4

Then you must have a miserable life outside. Which explains why you resort to an isolating hobby like video games to "make you happy"
