It is impossible to have a job and be a gamer
>>
2 hours is not enough for you to gayum? also i guarantee you the cooking, cleaning and shower could actually be quicker but you're probably stood around not doing it and just thinking of how much you can't be bothered to do anything because you feel like you have no time left and the day is basically over, if you just did it without whining to yourself you'd get done quicker

batch cooking is lame, I need to eat something fresh different every day
luckily for me I have no commute so I can spend that time on cooking
still, that only leaves around 5 hour free time a day, which realistically is 2 - 3 on games if you spend the rest of the time doing chores, watching something or reading, practicing a skill, etc

I'll tell you what's insidious though is how many jobs are pushing more and more 9 - 10 hour shifts instead of the standard 8 hour work day, slowing normalising 50 hour work weeks, and it won't stop there either. Fuck capitalism.
>>
I have a job, wife AND kids. It's basically impossible. Started E33 at launch. Still only at chapter 2.

But reading is more conductive to a busy life ironic enough. It has fast startup. Just grab your ereader or audiobooks device and continue where you left off. You can spend 5 - 10 minute bursts reading a chapter. You can do it during commute and even during work, chores, showering and gym time.

So in 2025 I only played E33 and didn't even manage to finish it. But I finished almost 30 books.

I used to think books were for old people just because they were old. Now I realize it's because it's the easiest medium for busy people.

How much time to you spend watching crap on youtube, deathscrolling twitter or posting on 4chan.
Be honest.
>>
>>729647032
It's not the same. Because you can browse 4chan, doomscroll or watch a quick YouTube video in short 5 minute downtime bursts.

You can't play a game for 5 minutes. I don't have a choice but to post on 4chan during bathroom breaks at the office. Can't boot up a gaming session in the toilet.

2 hours a day for vidya seems great, i know there are most games that requires more than 100 hours to beat them (at least for completism) but i always decide to play one of those once a year so the rest is pretty shorter and that's the perfect length.

also i want to play OP's pic but i always forgot what's the fucking name :(

I wake up at 7:20, go to work with my dog at 7:45. Work starts 8:00, done at 15:00, home 15:15. That leaves me with around 7 hours of gaming time, I spend 30 minutes on cleaning and dinner

Remember: if the benefits of automation were fairly distributed, you wouldn't need to work. Same goes for AI automation. The amount of human labour required would be low. You could play all the games you want. You could make the art you want. Literal demon vampires rule the world and they won't be happy until they've sucked every ounce of value they can.

Indeed. I have a 45 minute commute and I can get a lot of reading done in that time. For 2026 I bought a notebook and want to spend my commute learning how to draw.

Either make meals in entire batches or look for dishes you can make fairly quickly. You don't need more 8 hours of sleep, if you're sleeping more, don't. You can cut down to 6 hours if you want, some people can live off of that money. That alone should give you 5 hours of vidya daily. Done.
t.plays 6+ hours of vidya every day

Getting a job comes with all sorts of different issues. I've recently started working at an ice cube factory and I finally have some money to spend on my hobby.

I could save time by not going home but I like to talk to somebody because ofc I have no gf lol. Also saves money on food. I used to hate being stuck in a routine but now that im not a stoner alcoholic I find it very comforting. Ive gotten quite disciplined with gym and guitar, it is a lot more fulfilling than drinking malt liquor and playing a shitty rpg for 5 hours a day.

The travel alone has helped me to knock out a backlog of JRPGs from PS2/3DS days and a bunch of anime/kdrama. I WFH Fridays (so its a joke day) and weekends are obligation free mostly so its a solid 30-40 hours of gaming each week.
