I got myself an extremely shitty desk job where most of the day I just sit there, waiting for stuff to happen. Constantly getting so bored out of my mind that I bought the pic rel and planning to play ps1 games on my phone with it. Any recs on ps1 games where sound is not crucial to the gameplay? It also must not be input heavy since that controller is the most uncomfortable thing ever

Without the clip its dogshit and only good for jacking off.

Cool, but the idea is to put my phone in the blind spot of the office camera and hide the controller when playing. This holder sort of defies the point

Great time to enjoy ffv & 6 since their osts are relatively weak compared to other entries

the soundtrack is great but its not going to make the game worse if you dont have it. this game will keep you busy for a while if you never played it before

Get one of these and if anyone asks just be like "oh yeah its a charger" (assuming your phone supports mag-charging) and keep the controller under your desk.

Why not address the root issue?
You should find a job you actually enjoy

Yeah it sounds cool on paper untill you get to deal with my boss that checks the cameras 24/7. Even our HR is weary of that guy. I think he just jacks off to the idea that someone is working for him

I work as a support line assistant in a straight up scam company

>Yeah it sounds cool on paper untill you get to deal with my boss that checks the cameras 24/7.
this. people imagine these kind of jobs fun but they arent. there are the real no work jobs where your boss doesnt even give a shit if you spend the day watching youtube videos because he knows there is nothing to do. but there are these jobs where there is nothing to do and you are still expected to look busy. those are fun at start but become extremely tiresome after a while
>>
>>736916726
Get a turn based RPG or JRPG, so even if you leave it for a chunk of time you don't have to worry about it.

Start spending more free time looking for better work so you can leave this shit.

>>736920237
NTA but I'm burnt out of my current job, only reason I'm staying is besides listening to retarded asks and emails, I can at least do whatever I want for 7 hours a day at home. I do kinda want to find a new job since the way this organization does shit is retarded but nothing looks really good in the market and everything just seems like another fuckery of hell.

Also it's funny because I really get that imposter syndrome looking for jobs and sending my CV but I remember my last job, we got retard after retard after retard after retard that couldn't do basic excel. I have no fucking idea how the job description always says something like "programming / project management blah blah blah" and I'm relegated to being a fucking excel cuck.
>>
I'm moving to a new job in the not-distant future.

Literally better on every metric (better commute and a pay increase) but it's the fact it gives me more to do and lets me use my skills more that was what really has me jazzed. This role pays fantastic for how little effort it takes but I've got too many years left my career to just cruise and not capitalize on my skillset.
>>
>>736918526
Simply work for the government. Im getting about 20k less a year for an equivalent position in the private sector (still making over 6 figs) but i only have to be in the office 2 days out of the week and havent had any actual work to do in months thanks to zion dons massive budget cuts. Its awesome.

Get a real job

Gonna be completely blunt and honest here

Battle on the Big Bridge and the normal battle theme from FFV clears like 90% of FF6's soundtrack

QRD?

Its a mag charger. You slap your phone onto it and it sticks while charging magnetically. I keep mine on my desk like that while I watch movies at work. My boss doesn't care as long as my work is done, but OP could use it and just swipe once to get off his game and just tell his boss "it's more convenient to have it like this than to always pick up my phone and look at it when I get a notification"

LOL.
If you enjoy your work today you're either extremely lucky to have inherited a farm or you're goycattle that enjoys being servile for a pitance.
Even the best paying normie corporate jobs pay less than being an onlyfans whore or a gamer lolcow youtuber.
Shitposting on fucking twitter pays better than most full time jobs.

Wouldnt they be tiny since the screen is split in half

when I had a job with shitloads of downtime I would just wear 1 earbud and listen to audiobooks.
granted I have long hair so you can't see if I am wearing earbuds. Was pretty ideal though since you don't need to worry about anyone seeing you or any elaborate setups, you just leave work stuff on your computer and can move your mouse around a little if you want or change what is open but otherwise you just kind of chill and listen to the audiobook
>>
>>736924363
ogDS and Lite already had tiny screens, if you played those and still enjoy then you enjoy DS emulation on your phone
>>
>>736925523
Are you playing vertically?
Because landscape seems unfeasible on a phone with a split screen

After 10 years as a NEET, I’m working the most slave tier physically demanding job possible at a warehouse where I’m always on my feet, but it’s only part-time, no one is hovering over me and I don’t have to talk to anyone when work starts so it’s not the absolute worst thing in the world. Where am I supposed to go from here though now that I have no choice really but to work?

Steal a farm (because theyre way too expesive to buy) and then live a happy life.
>>
>>736927029
it's the only option. I've been down this road 100 times. The actual pickings for turn based games on PSX and before is pretty slim if you've already played the greats. Probably check out GBA titles, FF 1&2 dawn of souls, GBC dragon warrior 1&2 and 3. Game boy stuff is great cause it won't use your battery power. There's not much on Sega genesis unless you like shining force or some obscure stuff. snes is just final fantasy. DS has some good stuff like etrian odyssey but battery life starts to suffer.

I did that for 10 years. Went back to college as an adult, everyone was so proud. Got a bachelors on scholarship, 3.5 GPA. Nobody will hire me as a manager without experience. Nobody will hire me anywhere. I've got my parents begging me to "work my way up from the bottom" every day. And I've gone into entry level jobs, and a week after I got in at 2 seperate places, they hired someone else to be MY assistant manager or manager. And they tell me I should have applied because I'm so overqualified. And they wonder why I quit.

If your parents are going to l eave you something find a way to survive. That's the only thing keeping me going. But I'll likely eat a bullet before my parents give me anything.

Try King's Field 1-3. I do like the soundtrack and it adds to the ambiance significantly but they're still fun games. The gameplay is mainly just walking around, looking around and pressing 2 buttons.

I read all of the Trilogy by Sienkiewicz at work and it was fucking awesome. Got into it because of the Mount and Blade game and the books are so much better. Reading at work has done much to prevent me from blowing my brains out.
>>

Fuck you retarded bragging piece of shit.

I miss being in a low key work, I used to be able to do stuff at work like mess around but now you can't do fucking shit.

I had a job based on metrics and stuff so I could read if I want to since my metrics were good and I kept my tickets in a good place. Now I have a job with no metrics but it seems retarded all the fucking time. I have big asks that seem to get dropped every other day so I have no idea what to prioritize or if we need to take a look at shit or not.

NTA but my parents are dead and didn't leave me shit and I don't know what to do. Everyone always gets houses and apartments to rent out in my shit country. I only need like $2.5k/month to survive since I'm in Eastern Europe but how do I get that on the internet?

Dude that's the worst part of my gym receptionist job. Most people who come here already have their shit sorted through the app, but you can't relax since there's a 10% chance that they need to book something. Still, it could be worse and the free gym+swimming+classes make it worth it.

>retard after retard after retard that couldn't do basic excel
I did a lookup table to create some range values instead of manually entering them for 400 rows and now I am known as the "excel wizard" to 35 people. Never underestimate how foreign basic computer skills are to the populace.

>>736928623
I said Eastern Europe not Russia dude, I'm still in the EU, it's not fucking Africa (yet).

Its obvious you've never worked a job like this. You're devoid of assignments but your boss will still insist that you not fuck around because of decorum.
>>
>>736928796
Ok and? What are they going to do lmfao fire you so you can get free money for 6 months and get the same bullshit job again?
>>
>>736928719
I don't know how they even got selected by HR or even got past the interviews when apparently this is a programming job (and it's not). It actually pissed me off because my first few months my seniors left and suddenly now I'm the new senior, I made a shit ton of SOPs, a shit ton of optimization scripts and shit, and then we got the new hires and holy fuck they were the lowest quality coworkers I've ever had in my life.
>"Anon never taught me this"
>"Anon never thought me that"
and I had the fucking email receipts, the recorded training demos, the SOPs to clearly showcase otherwise. One bitch kept reassigning her workload to me whenever she didn't "get it" (which was a good chunk of the time). At first, I'd reassign and just be like do x,y,z but then she would reassign shit back to ME anyways so I was like fuck it. I did like 80% of the work. We've got some new juniors and they're significantly better but I haven't been fully able to offload a lot of the bullshit at my work.
>>
>>736928736
>We haven't been part of Russia for a few decades now
And? Everything I said still applies. In fact you can do all of that regardless of where you live, it's just not worth it in countries with higher living costs, but that doesn't apply to you as you already stated
