Suck my damn balls.
Lipstick Apathy
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.

Get a job you enjoy and make friends there who also enjoy gaming and you can have the best of both worlds.

I thought so op. Then I got a new job, 7 am till 530pm. Friday Saturday AND Sunday off. 3 full days of time off per week. Unless I work ot. I can work 1 hour of ot and bank it as 2 hours off. Rolling into next year I have 15 paid weeks off not counting sick time or family time.

I work hard, and I play hard.

This is my goal, but I have the unfortunate ability of attracting normies during my everyday life. I'm forced to conceal my gaming power level... for my sake, and theirs.

2nd shift was amazeballs for gaming.

Hell yes my brother. You can get in some morning and late night gaming during the week, and you got plenty of time during the weekend to hang with your buddies on the 9-5 grind.

what if there's another gaming crash or games become dismally bad or something? then you're gonna be playing emulators of today's consoles and wish you had just played them when you were young and agile and sexhaving and healthy

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!

gently caress yeah!

If you work you can afford good games and buy stupid peripherals like a racing wheel, a HOTAS, and an Oculus Rift. Everyone knows that your worth as a gamer is determined by how many genre-specific peripherals you have.
