Is anyone here a wagecuck? How do you have time and energy for videogames?

Is anyone here a wagecuck? How do you have time and energy for videogames?

>Just did my first day at work 9-6
>Commute takes an hour at least each way assuming no traffic
>Barely have time to play videogames once I get back home, assuming I workout, shower, eat, and sleep in an extremely timely manner

Please tell me it gets better. What's the point of money if you're wasting your early 20's being exhausted and then spending whatever money you earn on temporary things like drugs/alcohol/fastfood/clothing just to keep you from going crazy

If you're dissatisfied with your job spend your free time finding a better one.

>working part-time
>84 hours/month
>enough money to pay rent, buy food, buy lots of games and other stupid shit
>15 minute walk to work

I'd never work full-time though. I don't care about the money I'm missing out on.

You can get by with very little if you don't have fuck toy and fuck trophies to take care of.

how do you support yourself part-time wagecucking?

For the past two years, my typical work week has me out of the house for 65 hours. It took me several months to complete an RPG with 85 hours logged on play time, because I only could get one day per week to really sink time into it.

The key is arcade styled games. Games with a story just feels like another obligation. You need to play stuff that you can put an hour into it and be done.

Geriatric nurse.
At most 7 hour shifts, so I still got most of the day to be a lazy piece of shit.
The job itself isn't great, but the shifts and pay are good.

The point is that the job is supposed to replace the role of the videogames in your day to day. Instead of trudging through 9 hours a day, find something you don't mind doing and work towards getting a better job, like that other user said.

Not a lot, but i find the work fulfilling enough for it to not be that big an issue.
Obviously i wish i could NEET it up forever, but reality is reality.

>tfw wagecuck at a retirement home working 9-5, job isn't hard at all
>do nothing but play games, work, workout and watch anime/youtube
>just spend money on rent, meals, and various jap shit figures
>still have time to myself for Sup Forums and above
Feels good.

I work unsupervised nightshift and I'm burning through my Vita and 3DS log.

Stocks, nigga. Work for a year and save money, invest in stocks and change to a part time, and eventually you'll be making enough money from dividends to free market neet lyfe.

Start playing more portable games. If you don't, your game time will be cut even further. First thing I did with my first paycheck was getting a new 3DS since my old one was breaking.

Try and play as much console/PC games as you feel you naturally want to for the first weeks - get used to your new schedule, and if after a month you're not playing as much as you'd like, use specific games or new releases to get back into the habit.

I started work three months ago and used to always play Overwatch on PC plus a ton of stuff on my PS4 when I was NEET. Now I work 5 days a week, some of which are weekends and since starting work I almost never use my PS4 despite using it constantly before, and now use my Vita and 3DS a lot more.

I've recently bought the new Taiko to try and get myself back to using my PS4 though, and have started getting back into Overwatch.

>work in retail selling bins and shelves
>no talent or social skills
>boss still gives me 40 hours a week
>sleep 4 hours a night, base my entire schedule around talking to americans on the inernet late at night
its a comfy hell

How long have you been doing that? I did about a year on 3 hours of sleep per night with only every other weekend off. I was fucked up for the next few years.

no you don't have enough time. Sup Forums is full of NEETs living in their moms basement or whatever paid by society money they can afford to play vidya all day.

>Start playing more portable games.
The point is to make gaming more enjoyable, not to cram video games into every waking moment of life, no matter how shitty they are.

about 2 years
ive trashed my physical health doing it too but im clingy and the person i want to hang out with is only on around 1-4am my time

>Overwatch
It's a good thing you don't have time to play that pile of dogshit anymore

You're dead.

9 hours a day is hell

what has humanity done wrong that we must be in this torture

im trying to break free by investing what little i make into an ebay and amazon store

maybe some day i can break free from this curse

>Geriatric nurse
>TFW I'm a part time job wage cuck at a minimum wage job
I'm assuming being a registered nurse pays slightly better than minimum wage.

Either work a minimum wage job part time where you get tipped out the ass (like I do, sometimes double my daily wage) or a good part time job, flagging pays really well and even a retard can do it, just have to be able to stand on your feet for that long (which I can't be wise I have fucked feet). As long as you don't have another mouth to feed or attempting outside your means living on a part time jobs not that hard.

Also this guy's a faggot.

Public servant with a 2 hour commute (each way) here.

The Switch is a fucking godsend.

Currently making overpriced coffee drinks at a retail store. Should I go full food service (Taco Bell) with the holidays coming up?

Yeah man, it's easy during the holidays, especially if you get on at a place hiring temp holiday work.

field i'm in has me making most of my money during the last quarter of the year, that's really the only time i work 55+ hrs a week and feel like death.

just find a field that doesn't have you grinding your dick off all year and actually gives you a decent work/life balance

i definitely dont' game as much as i used to these days, but that's because i think i'm actually becoming an adult

this is the problem with capitalism -- we cannot be 9-5 slaves forever, we need to kill the 1% and divide their wealth

Not only this is it, these are the best years of your life. Things will only get worse as you age and your health deteriorates.

I started a youtube channel so i just record when I play. The ad money justifies the time spent gaming. Pays for itself when I relax.

Do you get tips at the retail store? Why the fuck would you go fast food aka no tips?

why

>work about 40 hours a week from 9 to 6
>job involves maintenance work as well as retail so on my feet and lifting all day
>come home dead ass tired with no desire to play my games on a shitty Emerson TV
>Have had more fun hanging out at bars after work with co-workers than playing vidya
I like what I do and love my co workers and boss, but I feel like I can't do anything when I'm done. I took my PS4 to a friend's last Saturday and I still haven't unpacked it and hooked it back up. The last game I remember playing was Ori about 2 days ago. I think I need to get back on an exercise program and drink more water

...

I'd rather work and have no time for vidya than be a NEET and have all the time for vidya. If I don't work for any reason play vidya, I feel like a piece of shit for wasting my life. Right now got several part-time jobs that pay well and don't demand all my time, so I get the best of both worlds.

this is what i love

>tfw getting closer and closer to becoming a wageslave
I'm gonna kill my fuckign self I don't want to work fuck

About 20 burgers a week and free drinks. I hate my supervisor, though. She schedules me for the busiest shifts, which actually wouldn't be that bad if not for the holiday sales.

>Study around 4-6 hours a day
>Have a part time job 25 hours a week
>Always feel tired to play vidya
Moving out was a mistake. I should've just taken community college near my home instead of going to some overrated university with the most SJWs in one place.

Did she died

>lmao just buy stocks bro everything will be ok after that
This is what NEETs believe.

I do data entry full time, I spend my free time depressed and too tired to do much else other than sit in my chair watching streams

She's fine

I'm really glad that Japan is one of the forerunners for autism awareness.

What games are other wagies playing? Been playing Darkest Dungeon when i get home for a few hours until I go to sleep.

It's all about schedule, really. Depends on your job, but if you can get a good schedule everything's a million times better. I work three 12 hour shifts, 6-6, on Sat/Sun/Mon. I'm dog fuckin tired on the end of Monday, but then I have four full days to do whatever.

Also, fuck sleeping in, it's overrated for working. Going in at 9 is hilariously late, even at 8 hours you won't leave till 5, and traffic is always the worst. I used to do 6-2, Mon-Fri, that wasn't bad either, just can't stay up till 3am.

You don't get tips? Holy shit you poor child, switch jobs to anything where you receive tips dipshit you could be making double or triple your wage a day easy, especially if you have barrista experience. The only people who should be working minimum wage no tip jobs should be felons, 3rd worlders or literally retards.

Horizon Zero Dawn and Persona 5 for comfy, Team Fortress 2 for mindless nostalgia bloodfests.

m-my p-p-part *hick* time j-job is s-so harrrdd wwwwwwwwhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I play Downwell or Spelunky because it's one of the only games I can just play for an hour or two and still have fun, then go to sleep. Can't play RPGs unless I have a month long vacation

wagecuck here, gaming as a wagecuck is just exhausting. I play like 1 hour before going to work. I have a ton of games I buy and never even touch.

Burgers is code for dollars, mate.

im legitamily terrified of going into the workforce.

>I have a ton of games I buy and never even touch.
Why waste money then? You're off buying things that you can actually use then

you can always buy hardware you'll never use or animu figures where you just stare at it all day. for gaming i just pirate everything these days since its easier for me to quit without feeling buyers remorse.

>Do good in school
>Get shitty job
>Use money to go on for advanced degree
>Go to Grad School+ to get good job you enjoy
>Only buy games you actually want, instead of every AAA cumblast with a 80+ metacritic
>enjoy life

>work as close to home as possible, I have a 15 minute walk, and can do my groceries on the way
>eat at work during work hours, eat breakfast there, if you have the canteen eat the lunch there and take an extra soup/whatever in a go-to package, reheat it 30 minutes before end of the job and eat it, that way I don't cook at home at all, a sandwich or two will carry me till the bedtime
>make sure you don't lose time in the mornings, no browsing web on your phone and shit, glass of water, maybe a banana or something, quick wash and off you go

>$20 in tips a week
>A week
Jesus fuck.

Yeah, they're split between the workers evenly - not based on hours worked.

>earn the money to actually buy games
>still pirate to avoid buyers remorse from quitting a bought game

any excuse, huh pirateboy? ;v

i wish we could be in the situation where we didnt have to min/max time. it just feels more free to eat whenever you want to eat and shitpost whenever you want.

could be worse. you could be working in some asian restaurant where the boss steals all the tips and no one is brave eough to call it out.

Switch jobs. 10-20 is a bad day on tips. Fuck at my last job I was averaging $40 a day split between five fucking people at a god damn corn dog place.

>go to school to get a better job
>college goes on strike
>stuck working at part time job that I'm trying to get out of

Who else agrees that waiters are the most entitled whiny faggots to ever plague the workforce?

>working as an unloader in a distribution center
>$22/hr
>10-12 hour shifts, 4-6 days a week (during the fall season)
Hard ass work, but I'm rolling in the cash right before Christmas. Today is 1/4 days I get off this month. Spending my time sitting around, drinking beer, and playing Ghost Recon:Wildlands

Still though, it's a good feeling to live on my own when every single one of my friends still lives with their parents.

ontario?

Yes.

Do yourself a favour and try your damnedest to either get into a managerial role or something that is not as physically demanding, warehouse grunt work will decimate your body in the long run.

Luckily I've got a lot of specialty training, so I spend a lot of time on a standup forklift (every other day)

During the slow season I go to community college for an industrial machine mechanic degree (paid for out of pocket, no loans.) I'm hoping to one day bid into the mechanic department.

>work 40 hours a week at a job I don't hate
>7 minute bike commute to work
>5 hours of free time every evening, completely free weekends
what the fuck are you doing that you have no free time

stop commuting stupid distances

i just got a job i dont hate that i can come and go as i please, and i refuse to work downtown

do not bully user on this website

haha yeah get rich on wallstreet people do it all the time this pdf i paid $100 for says so by the way are you interested in buying some comsetics

>everybody on the internet claims to work out religiously
>99% of men i see IRL are out of shape

what gives

>>just spend money on rent, meals,
You mean the retirement home don't give you one?

make the best of it, join a club, grind your dick off studying first two years, junior/senior year will be a cakewalk

>inherit a small million dollar loan from my father
>make lucky business decisions
>rise to pseudo-celebrity status
>become leader of the free world
It's not that hard, Sup Forums.

Why would people on the internet go outside?

Dumbass

im autistic and i work at a call center full time and i want to die.

99% of the men you see don't post on Sup Forums

>tfw shut in NEET with autismbux

I work from 9 to 6 too, one hour comute (walking, I don't exercise more than that), still live my parents, I give some money to them, save some and spend the rest on whatever the fuck I want, since I don't have to worry about anything else (yet) I manage to play 5 to 6 hours a day.

why devote so much time to working out if you never leave the house?

is autismbux real? how can I get that in canada

i dont fucking understand people who choose to work downtown or in bad driving areas and bitch about commutes

trips of truth.

I work 40 hours a week and I find myself with more free time than I did in college or even high school. I'm even sleeping more than I used to as well.

>choose

i just dont want to be fat and generally feel better since ive begun to work out regularly almost 10 years ago

Sometimes you are left no choice on what job to pick, especially if you applied more then 50 times and only got 3 callbacks . Beggars can't be choosers and all.

then move, you idiot

autismbux don't exist its a meme

I'm a leaf as well. Technically its not autismbux but its ODSP, i can get it because i have a disability that isn't ever going to get better. I think the program might be getting easier to get into lately? Don't know, might want to look into it.

kek

When your a big boy, you get to choose where you work. I graduated college and I got to choose between Alaska, Jew York, LA, Seattle, and Austin.

I selected the comfiest option.
