l you run out of money and kill yourself?

It seems like they both have pros and cons. If you work you enjoy games over a longer period of time but you also sacrifice a large portion of your life, and you're forced to interact with normies at most jobs.

This is what I have chosen, but I'm curious as to what other gamers think. I left out the option of "Game as hard as you can while collecting welfare" because not all of us are so lucky.

you don't need a job if you get disabled enough for your parents to take care of you forever. jump off your roof. make sure you protect your hands so you can still play games if you live though.

Let me take you for a ride.
If you play games all the time, they lose their appeal quick, its like you're an addict waiting for the next hit. So having a job is kinda necessary for me. Also having money means you can own more games.

Unironically this. For some reason when I don't have work or something else I tend to burn out on games within a 5ish days. Unless I still have a game that has its new game feel.

game a lot, but don't always game, so you can look forward to the gaming.

don't get depression either, because that takes away from gaming fun.

To game or not to game, that is the question: whether 'tis more win in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of a 9-5 job, or to take arms against a sea of enemies, and by opposing, own them?

is it anything?
tried all 3,
gaming 24/7 while broke was great at first, but then it is hard to kill poo poo on an empty stomach, which led to
gaming on welfare was just as hosed because i could afford mac&cheese but had to get crackhead roomies who sold my fucken sega and my tv and were dirty, grimy idiots, which led to
now i work 8-4; so that's an extra hour of new title gaming daily, on a decent rig with console options, while being able to snack on all kinds o' goodies and smokin' the dank, drunk. boioio!

Part time gamer reporting in.

It's pretty sweet cause I can have like thirty plus hours a week to game or I can sacrifice some gaming time to pick up extra shifts and get money for gaming related expenses.

Right now i work 2-10pm m-f. It sucks major balls for social life irl, but its pretty sweet because I get home, start drinking and gaming, and can hang out with all of my internet friends on the west coast and still manage to get a good amount of sleep.

edit for clarity: i am east coast
