My sleep is getting in the way of my work. How am I supposed to get all the golds when sleep is using up literally a third of my life EVERY DAY??

Let's make an indie games studio.

I'll be the ideas guy / promoter so I don't do any work and just go to conventions and tell people our game is fun

One time I was playing through Soul Caliber 2 on the Dreamcast with my brother. We didn't have internet so we just played through the game with everyone to unlock all the fighters. Anyways we were playing through as Knightmare or Azeroth or one of the big swole dudes who did a big overhead swipe with the Y button. You could just mash that Y button and like 9/10 win the fight, tt was like 2am and I kinda zoned out then fell asleep. My brother noticed and woke me up but by that point I'd already beaten like half the line up in my sleep just mashing the Y button.

So the answer is OP be like 10 years old and play a really easy version of Soul Caliber 2 for 6 hours straight.

OP, what I would suggest is getting a time machine. You go back to the release date of Hearts of Iron III. Now what I did this day was I played it and set it on max speed but it was so badly optimized that I woke up 4 hours later and it was still 1937 in game.

dymaxion was 2 hours and he had to stop it because he was tired of everyone else being asleep all the time. if that's not the manliest sleep schedule then i don't know what is. also thursday is terrible and i used to listen to them. :(

dymaxion sounds liek a stupid bitch if he gave up on his dream to be awake at all times. I mean you don't have to care about other people being asleep, since you can game across the internet. stupid idiot moron!

If you watch LP's instead of playing the game, then you get to skip out on all the in-game deaths and grinding, so you end up saving more time in the long run. Then you'll have time for full sleep and maybe a little bit of extra gaming on the side. :)

I have gone 36 hours without sleep.

My eyes are a bit tired. But it's worth it because I've gotten A LOT of highscores. I beat my old record by 3000 points, and I can only see that going up as I continue practicing. I'm gonna reach the top as long as I can stay awake and keep practicing my gaming.

wasn't there some goon thing where there was the 'perfect' iron man style of sleep pattern where you took a fifteen minute nap every 3 hours or something and they had also claimed that many great men used this sleep schedule

do that

It's been 66.6 hours since my last wink of sleep. My face is numb I think. I don't think I can feel my face. I'm not entirely sure but I may no longer have a face. The mirrors on the wall reflect too much light. My mind is only on the circles. My pacman eats the circles one by one. The ghosts are evil. I want to kill the ghosts. Ghosts are haunting me. There are new initials on the high score screen. I don't know if they are my initials, but I swear they weren't there before. Whose initials are these? What are my initials?
