Your tradwife takes care of the chores while you are working so when you get home all you have to do is eat her food, fuck her then play some vidya.

I hate the “I have a job so I can’t enjoy hobbies” mindset. If you really want to do something, you’ll make time for it.

I actually have a good 7-8 hours each day to devote to video games, but I simply don't. There is nothing I care about playing. I am not depressed. Deep down I'd like to play video games, but nothing is really saying "Hey, let's play this!" I've played pretty much everything I want to play up to this point.

Nowadays I seem to derive more enjoyment out of shit posting, fapping, and watching Youtube. I'll do that for 7-8 hours and then go to bed. It's gotten to a point where I really only get excited about new releases that I'm looking forward to, and sadly nothing is really coming out for quite a bit, not until June at least. Video game releases are pretty stagnant right now, at least for HUGE titles that everyone is excited for. I don't give a fuck about Forza. I assumed will be getting some big summer releases, especially when we have the Summer Game Awards.

I really hate the necessity of going to the gym. Every day, in an out, walk to the gym, walk in the same place, lift rock up and down, again and again and again and again and again every single day and if you dare enjoy food or don't spend 3 hours on this charade daily you're stuck in the "chubby with some muscles" zone

And there's no fucking way to fix it. You just need to gym because that's how your body works. Because you were supposed to be working in the fields but you were born in the age of sitting on your ass all day to get money.

I haven't properly played vidya for weeks.

If you're going to gym 5 mornings a week, surely there has to be one closer to your work than an hours drive

>>738129059
Nobody who works 9-5 has actual energy for their hobbies even if they can make the time, try talking to them. Even the ones who say they go to the gym 2 hours a day after work will say "oh I've been slacking and only really go twice a week" a few months later.
Time doesn't matter, all those tiktok schedules where wagies lay out their day with a few hours to do what they want are performative to make them feel better about their lives.
>>
All jokes and memes aside, why do so many of you insist on keeping up the "gym" pretense? You don't go to a gym regularly, why do you feel like you need to pretend you do?

I play games in my free time. Since my mother passed away a few months ago and I'm no longer caring for her, I have more time during the week, but I still get most of my playtime in on the weekends.

Most of the free time I have to play games during the weekdays is spent on my Steam Deck, since booting up my desktop for an hour or two feels like a waste.

Your diet is far more important than working out for keeping off fat, just count your calories for a few weeks until you figure it out and you don't really have to go to the gym as often as you think unless you want to get a lot bigger. I barely gain weight and I usually eat what I want as long as it's within my daily calories.

I'm part time, and my circumstances allow me to do so without living with my parents. Considering the amount of free time I do have, I should be playing way more games, but I procrastinate to the point where I don't do shit until after lunch despite me essentially wasting time until then.

Just manage your time better, I guess? I work afternoons/evenings so I can have all morning to myself while I've got actual energy to do things. Do double shifts so I can have more days off, and have just enough hours any given week to pick up overtime. Cause why work for your regular wage when you can do 1.5x/2x? I've got 4 days off this week.
>>
>>738128759
I'm more picky with what games I want to play these days.
Realistically however, it's hardly ever been a matter of time, it's more of a matter of time management unless you work in something that literally eats up all of your time.

You don't and it's not. The anons saying diet is more important are on the right track but ultimately still have fundamental misunderstandings of reality.
