How do you all find time for video games when you work a job? I recently got my first job at 18 and I don't have much time for video games anymore unless it's on my short weekends or limited vacation days.
This shit is gay. Today is Saturday after noon and my weekend is almost up already

I don't know. You just suck at time budgeting.

>sleep 8 hours
>work 8 hours
>do chores
>do shopping
>clean car
>you now have 4 hours to do whatever you want and you'll most likely be too tired to play video games
yeah, no.

>on my short weekends
Well duh, that's the time for game. What, do you go outside and socialize like chumps?
>shopping every week
Make it a monthly deal
>clean car
Do it per 2 weeks

>worked yesterday from 7:30am - 10:15pm with only a two hours of that time not working.
>still played for over an hour before eating and going to bed.

>work 8months of the year doing high paying seasonal job
>get to relax for 4 months straight
It works for me, also its great cause ill be pretty isolated usually and not keep up on any games and get to be surprised and play new games that are probably already on sale.

Juice time out ur day, you lose time and energy to alot of little things
For example; transport to and from work (try live closer, work remote), time it takes to cook meals (start meal plans), at the gym do intense workout instead of time consuming, you'll be surprised how you can get more out of your day.

This is why the Nintendo Switch is the answer. And I don't mean playing on the train or gay shit, I just mean its so fucking simple, no 'your controller needs an update' (Xbox) or 'you need to install this driver' (PC). It boots up instantly and has been a saviour

>I recently got my first job
That's why. You'll get used to it eventually and be able to game without feeling tired as shit.

I've been working it for a month now. Just got out of college and it's Computer Science related. I'm the IT technician for a school and putting up with the little shits for 8 hours straight is very tiring.

>>do chores
>>do shopping
>>clean car
Those are weekend activities

You eventually discover quality of game > playing for a long time. If you work a standard 9-5 week and have weekends off, you appreciate those days off and those limited gaming hours much more than playing the same game every hour, day in day out. As put, you'll get used to it.

Do you completely miss the irony of posting Jordan Peterson while complaining about your lack of personal discipline and the ability to get your affairs in order?

>shopping
Shopping shouldn't take more than an hour a week unless you're a product-addicted woman. ARE you a product-addicted woman?

>Not sacrificing your late teens and 20s making bank so you can live out the rest of your life doing whatever you want at any time.
>"waa no time for children's entertainment waa"

NGMI

>can't be bothered to play videogames for more than an hour at most
>can't wait to get back to work on monday so i can socialise with people again
I guess the trick is to be lonely enough to stop enjoying videogames.

Anyone have the Jordan Peterson brap vocaroo

>do chores
I clean my apartment once a week. What else is there to do? It takes maybe 1 hour.
>do shopping
Once a week, 30minutes.

>clean car
What? My car doesn't get that dirty. I do clean it every summer though.

Simple. I sell drugs. It balances out: you're on call 24/7 but you learn to set limits and each interaction only takes a few minutes. I haven't beaten a game since I was in prison playing ps2 in 2020. So, my free time is hardly worth it.

>working from home ending next month
It was a good 2 years boys but everything has to end I suppose

>implying you can retire at 30 in todays economy
lmao. Most people today won't be retiring until they are 70 when you're almost dead.
You can't even save up money from jobs as tax and inflation will keep people relatively poor. Enjoy working your ass off for the crum of the pie.

>Today is Saturday after noon and my weekend is almost up already
So you have 12 hours of Saturday left and ALL of Sunday? What the fuck do you mean no time?

>most Any Forums users were born after 9/11

I'm 33 and I could live off my savings for 25 years if I stopped working today.

You literally couldn't. Unless you own a house or some asset that could stand the fight against inflation, you're working until you're dead bud. Market crashes and monopolies are the new normal bud, you will own nothing.

pray tell user how did you make all your fabulous wealth that us mere mortals failed to do

Whats up with you people lmao.
>I'm too tired to sit down and click some buttons
Video games are what you do when you're tired and lazy and don't want to go outside.

Cry me a river bitch boy, weocome to the real world. Get gud

> Unless you own a house
You think owning a house is somehow unrealistic?

Nothing is crashing retard. Monetary policy and keynesian boomers are gritting the market.

You underestimate the power of living frugally.

It's not that I am "fabulously wealthy" as much as it is that I have no needs or wants. Every year I make 4x as much money as I spend on necessities, and I never really want anything. Car's been paid off for 12 years, I haven't bought a new TV in 12 years... when you don't spend money on new things every single day, it's easy to live well beneath your means.

If you didn't inherit it from your dead boomer parents, then yeah it is. Unless you do it through the bank or loan sharks who chase you up for payments until you're almost dead.

Living frugal does save you money but at the end of the day you will always get taxed up the ass;

for 90% of people under the age of 30 yeah it really is the housing market gets worse every year along with wages, inflation and the economy in general unless you want to own some shithole run down shack in a crim ridden neighbourhood decent housing options these days suck

Taxes are proportional to income. If I have actual 0 income they will find it difficult to tax me. By most laws I would be destitute at that point, at least on paper.

Well, I'm 29 and I have saved enough to buy a house straight up. Not the biggest or in a city, but I do have options.
I have not bought one simply because, yeah I will inherit one. My plan is to move there eventually. So all I need is to save up enough for food and utilities. I'm like half way there.

I'm not in the US so maybe it's just different here.

I remember when I came back from work on fridays during my first weeks. I couldn't wait to play vidya on my PC but I started falling asleep as soon as I sat down in front of the keyboard.
Then I got used to it.

I work 4 days a week, 1 day in the office 3 from home.
I'm a decently skilled DBA paid $140k. My job is so fucking easy because I know what I'm doing.
I have plenty time for vidya.

>Taxes are proportional to income
It's not. If you pay for fuel and groceries, you're already paying extortionist tax.

>at the end of the day you will always get taxed up the ass;
not him, but I live in TX

Taxed income was never yours to begin with.

neither am I housing is still dogshit here its genuinely a miracle if you own a house in your 20's here

>extortionist tax.
it's called sales tax.

You're arguing semantics now since those costs are built into what I already pay. If I pay $1.29 for a slice of pizza and that 29 cents is tax, I still paid $1.29 and it was a price I was willing to pay.
