Get home after a long day, eager to play some awesome game on my sweet rig, instead play the same old shit for an hour then watch some Sentai and drink beer before going to sleep.
Especially PvP games.
It’s messed up man, we get paid for our time at work but we spend so much more time and energy for it. We don’t get paid for all the maintenance required of ourselves. It’s supposed to be priced in but it doesn’t feel like it. I make over 150k a year but I feel starved of time
i am fortunate that i am still at school and i can play games when i return home i will miss this things when i start work
american truck sim is a rush when you’re dozing off. nothing quite like waking up to oncoming traffic
Change that with 1:05 AM and I could relate.
OK maybe 2:05 AM.
So relatable bestie 👊
Me: Man I can’t wait to have a proper gaming session when the weekend comes!
Me on the weekend:
I love having disposable income and being able to buy whatever I want now but at what price lol
This sums up my experience with disco elysium rather well
Yep. Working life is having all the money to buy games, yet almost no moments where you have both the time and energy to play them. I’m starting to understand why some people take vacation time to play a new release (though I wouldn’t do it at the actual release, too high a chance for bugs and technical issues).
Yupp.
This is so real
The same thing with watching movies. Sometimes I fall asleep just from browsing what movie I want to watch.
I don’t ever want to be an adult.
Try Hades after a day of work. great vibes. especially if you partake in the smoke.
It’s all about the flow honestly
Glad that I can’t relate tbh
that’s why I mostly play arena games instead of continuous open world anymore, several games and I’m satisfied
