Jayden Moore
how is that depression
Landon Nelson
No it's not, it's called being an adult.
Cooper Collins
Because he realized too late that joining the rat race and working himself to the bone every day didn't bring him any enjoyment or satisfaction, and he doesn't have the guts to become a NEET
Jacob Williams
Too tired for video games, too tired for shitposting.
Jaxson Clark
>Work 48 hr/week

>Not enough time to play them all
>Keep buying games because I always have money to burn
>Don't game on the days I work
>Get invited to adult social events on my day off that I have to attend (e.g. weddings and shit)
At this point, I think my backlog is impossible to get through unless I quit my job and dedicate myself to playing vidya for 18hrs a day for years.

Just stop coming here.
Xavier Torres
This.
Get a hobby you can make money off of too, it'll help keep you afloat, give you more vidya time, and help stave off depression and complacency.
William Myers
I can only somewhat understand this for multiplayer games and not wanting the social interaction after a long days work. But how are you too tired for a single player game?

James Wright
I started avoiding requests to hang out and drink beer with coworkers/friends over the weekend simply because I just want to play some fucking videogames at home during weekend, and people keep asking me why I never go out with them.
Then, during lunch break, all my coworkers talk about X and Y shows and how they are binge watching the latest fad season on Netflix and they act surprised when I don't give a shit and have no idea wtf kind of stuff they are talking about, but then they ask me how can I have so much time to play all these videogames over the weekend and how I must have a very boring life.
Jesus fucking chist just cut me a break, they are allowed to spend their weekend binge watching shitty shows but I am not allowed to play videogames otherwise I am a loser.
Luis Lewis
How much a month is your place?
Matthew Peterson
My hobby was programming and developing stuff. Now I am employed as an engineer at a top tech company (one of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, but I won't say which). So basically my hobby *is* my job, and I still want to play videogames at the end of the day. It's still a job after all.

Jacob Cox
i don't know about you guys... but
i got over the fact that i am the only one to blame for my own mistakes. i got over the fact that nobody ever cared for me because of those mistakes. i got over the fact that nobody cares for me and the sexual frustration. what i did not get over is the fact i do not get enjoyment doing anything alone: why i do my job to get money that never makes anyone happy? why i watch movies or play video games when there is nobody to share my toughts on them with? why should i have any emotions over anything when i can not share them with anyone?

Wow that was fucking hard. Focus your attention on the things you want to do and commit to them. If time isn't an issue then you have no fucking excuse for not doing the things you want to do in life.
Jackson Torres
>Get home from work
>Remember that I have to cook dinner and go to the store
>2 hours of vidya for the evening, tops
Jacob Nguyen
how do you actually find a hobby?
Dylan Powell
I feel you OP. Work 8 hours a day, come home and have to do chores, realize that by the time I am done its already like 830 and have to be in bed by 10, but I also have to appease the woman and I end up reading instead since its a quick fix and never play games.
If this is what normal adult life is like Sup Forums I might as well press the quit button now.
Blake Cruz
>working 6 10's with 30 minute drive to-and-from work

I'm making contractor OT, but I'm putting 70% into savings because I have no idea what to spend it on.
I don't have much fun with video games nowadays
Samuel Wood
Why cook dinner when you can eat something quick and effortless? Like a bullet.
All I eat is frozen pizza and bread with the easiest-to-handle no-clean-up-needed with it.
Mason Stewart

I still force myself to play them, like a heroine addict chasing the initial high.
Logan Moore
yeah i know.. next steps are undertanding why people hurt themselves and why you must prevent yourself from cying. after that i can only imagine absolute death.

IT is comfy job kino. Only thing that sucks is that layover in the morning. I get hammered with tickets and the morning shift guys take forever to get logged in.
Julian Hernandez
Suicide would be better than that life.
Easton Morales
Because frozen food is cost inefficient and tastes worse. But I've only been living alone for a year now, I imagine I'll give up on fresh food in the coming months.

Ryder Williams
>frozen food is cost inefficient and tastes worse
Tastes better than my alternative that's for sure. And while it's more expensive it's not that bad, I give about five USD for a kilogram of frozen pizza. The best deal I can find, but the pizza isn't that bad.
Christopher Diaz

With your hopeless view of the world, kids would seem unlikely.

How do you get interviews for a programming job if you have no experience? I just graduated with my bs in comp sci but I can't seem to get anyone to give me the time of day.
Nicholas Phillips
That sounds like a sweet deal.

Do some exercise, check your vitamins and shit and maybe your thyroid levels
Ethan King
I have a bunch of games I want to start but I'm too indecisive so I just end up playing 400 hours of Splatoon 2 instead of starting anything new
Xavier Roberts
Does having low testosterone make you enjoy games less?
Eli Jones
no correlation
Jaxon Walker
My internship was pure nepotism (dad's friend was my in at the company) but I've been coasting on my 2.5 years of experience from that, like 4 interviews for the 5 companies I applied for. I was lucky enough to switch teams during the internship, so I don't look like a one-note person on my resume.
I got a few interviews before the nepotism though, even if they didn't go anywhere.
If you've got no experience, I'd say to make yourself look flexible to whatever kind of work they'd throw at you, you'll find what you like doing once you actually start working.
It also helps if you're not a spaghetti spilling idiot like me.
Keep in mind that being a Chad will make things easier, no doubt, but it's not the be-all, end-all for getting a successful career going.
Brandon Fisher
So you say, but the fact that few girls play video games points the other way.
Dominic Wood
Low test probably puts you in a state of mind to enjoy video games more, to be honest

My guess is he's a fireman who doesn't see very much action. Typically they work shifts like that and then get to sleep it off/rest the entire week.
Charles Sullivan
Where you work user?
Andrew Bell
>things that don't happen
Eli Green
>rent a single room and live cheaply
That's probably my dream home. I want nobody over. I just want to play vidya after I'm done with work.
Hudson Watson
Just popping in to say unless you do hard physical labour (which you should eventually get used to anyway unless your job is completely unreasonable) this shouldn't be happening - working any normal/standard job should not leave you so tired you can't sit at a computer/on the couch and play vidya, if it does you need to make some changes to your health/diet/etc
Perhaps you need to exercise more and eat better? Perhaps you aren't sleeping properly?
See your doctor, talk to them about whats happening, don't just live your life tired and unhappy all of the time
Andrew Powell

>Spend the entire way home on Sup Forums.
Some times I play clash royal or some emulated gba games on my phone but fuck me, dude. I really want to play the games I actually own at home.
I am getting my motorbike license in 2 months or so and I'll be able to not waste my life in public transportation.
Jaxon Powell
You've obviously never had a high stress office job. You can be tired without having to do physical work, you brainlet.
Adrian Lee
>daily commute is up to 5 hours
LMAO
Matthew Nguyen
You forgot the last part where you still get depressed from loneliness because humans are social creatures and will always long for others to connect and bond with.
Benjamin Clark
a lot of the stuff in this thread sounds like symptoms of depression. i'm there, too. i hope all you anons have some good days ahead of you.
i'm the same way with strangers, i used to love doing shit in video games with people i didn't know. anxiety over stupid shit that you know is stupid is the worst thing.
Blake Williams
probably only fun hobby work is making shit with hands and playing music that you can get money out of and it's extremely hard to get money out of that way
Ian Phillips
>daily commute is up to 5 hours
Jesus man, I hope you at last listen to podcasts and audiobooks.
Oliver Harris
What the fuck man just move house
Bentley Gray
I regularly procrastinate playing games. It's part fear of failure and part fear of losing track of time.
Andrew Ortiz
As someone that spent two years inside mental hospitals doctor's diagnosis aren't worth shit
They can never agree on anything
Ryan White
This is a thread for people who play adult games, isn't it?
Gavin Jones
Like what ?
Working at macdonald is fucking depressing...
David Gray
If you're unhealthy sure
I'm a team leader at a bank's mortgage sales team and we aren't meeting half year targets with 6 business days to go, I'd say that has the potential to be high stress
I still go to work all day and then come home and play vidya for like 4 hours, you just need to make sure to eat right, exercise regularly and get good quality sleep
If your job is so 'high stress' that you're so tired you can't sit at a computer after work and play your vidya of choice you should get a different job as its obvious you can't handle it
Lincoln Lee
Just work on that 200 word essay, you might finish it in a week if you do a little every day.
