I didn't play any videogames during the weekend, now it is almost monday again. How do you guys get time for vidya?

Honestly it becomes a grim case of finding time and even cancelling things to make time, I only have time on weekends and if shit comes up that means waiting another week

What job do you do that you can’t make time for hobbies? You don’t even have a single hour off even on weekends? Are you Japanese?
Also what games do you enjoy?
>>
>>719486624
I downloaded the lost soul aside demo but never played it, I just worked on some of my models
>>
>>719487491
As a wagie, I'm fatigued by the office work all saturday and spend Sunday doing chores. 5 day work weeks 9-5 jobs are a fucking scam.
>>
>>719486624
Just do your hobbies a little bit every day.
Long hobby sessions are rare as I've hit my mid 30s.

I largely play games I can consume for only 30 minutes and feel satisfied. I don't have warmup time, so although I love long save files (4X I'm looking at you) if I can't remember wtf I was doing a week ago, it's a new save or a different game.

I ain't got time for wrangling up friends I don't have, so I typically don't touch multiplayer in games.

Currently playing:
>> Black Mesa
>> Neo Scavenger

Always on Deck:
>> Rim World
>> Dwarf Fortress
>> Kenshi
>> Noita
>> Vagante
>> Project Zomboid
>> S T.A.L.K.E.R
>> Barotrauma
>>
>>719486624
I work full-time from home, that's 10 hours saved every week not commuting that can be spent on vidya
>>
>>719487756
I work 5 or 6 days a week rotating 7-3, 3-11, and sometimes 11pm to 7am as an air traffic controller

Okay, you're going to have to explain why.

Do you have a wife and kids or something?

>>719486624
I hate gaming. I just game because i have no hobbies
>>
>>719489992
Doing the dishes, laundry, cleaming the house, washing the car, etc etc.

>inb4 pay someone else to do it for you
No. I'm poor.
>>
>>719488165
How do people even play Rimworld on the deck? Haven't tried but playing that game with a controller layout sounds atrocious
>>
even if I had 100% free time somehow I would still find a way to make myself completely miserable
>>
>>719490612
That is the human condition. We are born to suffer.
>>
>>719487756
I work 3 AM to 10 AM shifts Tuesday through Saturday, and still find energy and time for vidya.
>>
>>719490586
>dishes
You wait to the weekend to do a weeks worth of dishes instead of just taking care of it once a night?
>wash the car
You don't need to do that. Especially every fucking weekend.
>cleaning the house
How is your house getting so messy that you need to clean it every week??
>>
I take a lot of stimulants and stay up for days, and then on my day off I crash and sleep all day. Plenty of time to game if you don't sleep.

Stay in school, kids. After graduating, I got a job where I only work 3 days a week and I have a 6 figure salary. Now I have all the time and money I could ever want to play vidya.
>>
>wagecuck has not time because he wastes his time on commute

>>719486624
I play vidya often but I would rather have a job. I apply endlessly but get nothing. Months later I will get a "you didn't get it" email.
>>
>>719491235
I can imagine customer service being a nightmare. I work management in a warehouse, and the closest to customer service I have to deal with is a bunch of contractor truck drivers.
>>
>>719490915
>You wait to the weekend to do a weeks worth of dishes
I just rinse them and put them in the sink. Wash them real good in the weekends. The car and house cleaning are non-negotiable since they both aren't exactly mine.

Yes but the probability that anons in such dedicated threads are actually gay is extremely high.

the fun part is when the straights get corrupted into being homosexuals, which wouldnt happen in a nsfw thread since the only people there are people who already like it

No such thing. Anyone in those threads and anyone looking at or seeking that content is gay. Some just don't want to admit it

You make time. Prepare your food in advance or, get a slow cooker or rice cooker that you can program to cook at specific times. Toss some chicken in an air fryer for 10 minutes.Toss bag of veggies in the microwave. Boom dinner. I know you fat fucks don't go to the gym, or have children so what other responsibilities do you have as as single man living alone?

Quitting my dead end job was the best thing I ever done. I have all the free time in the world now, and it reignited my love for video games. Knocked out a good chunk of my backlog this past month. I know I have to find a new job sooner or later. My saving won't last forever, but I'm enjoying the freedom while it lasts.

I work 9-8 5 times a week, and 9-5 on Sundays (my family and I go visit my Mom's grave every other Sunday after work so I arrive home at roughly the same time as usual whenever that happens)
I think fast food wagies make more than me btw

I currently work from home and am taking advantage of not having to commute while I can. Because let's be real...Commuting is probably the biggest drain on you next to office politics if you have a traditional 9-5.

Here's some things that can help you out though:
>Do in-store pick up for groceries and household items if you can. It's cheaper than delivery
>Make one pot/pan or crock/instnat pot meals during the week nights
>Or make a big thing of stew, soup, or a pot roast to eat off of a for a couple days
>Can also make some chicken breast or pork tenderloin or something to have on hand so you only gotta reheat with some vbeggies or something during the week
>Clean while you cook to avoid things piling up
>Group as many clothes together as you can to limit your laundry loads
>Get a handheld system like a Steam Deck. Gives ya something to do on breaks, lunch, and while tired on the couch or in bed
>>
>>719486624
I work 50-60h per week and game or read on weekends. Currently playing Sekiro. In a year I'll have enough money to go on comfortable vacation for 2 months. I'd much rather work hard and relax less, so I can enjoy my free time fully later. It's called delayed gratification. You wouldn't understand, wagie

Time is mostly made, not found. There's a high chance you spent a lot of your weekend just staring at nothing or mindlessly browsing 4chins.
One change of mind that worked for me is to ask "I'm free, am I actually enjoying this?" if the answer is "No" just drop what you're doing RIGHT NOW. I guarantee you you'll find more time to play vidya if you truly want to.
Never, ever suffer spending your free time on something you don't enjoy or benefit you.

I played video games all weekend, and I will continue playing tomorrow since it is a holiday. You had a whole weekend and played nothing, that's an issue with how you use your time, not a lack of time.
