I play shattered pixel dungeon at work all the time.

I do Doom mapping when it's a quiet day. But I can't playtest until I'm back home. I would have gone crazy by now if I wouldn't do shit like this at work. I do like 2-3 hours of work on a slow day, the rest is just sitting there doing nothing.

I used to, but they tore my department to shreds so I lost my job late last year. It was extremely comfy, though, most weeks there was only like 6-8 hours of work so I spent non-meeting time clearing the backlog

Yee, security can be pretty neat when you get a decent gig. Currently waiting for my chinkheld to come in. Been emulating games on my phone but touchscreen controls are ass.

Remote, but that's 'at work' to me.
It was a two hour commute into the office and two hours back, so any day I was in person I was too tired to game. Fairly open floor plan, too, so everybody was in everybody's business

only downside to the post was that there was no on-site bathroom. Basically had to make do with a bottle for pissing in. For shitting I brought along a garbage bag and toilet paper along with an extra bottle of water and handsoap for washing my hands

I work remote and that was me back when I had a passive role. I use to play a lot of city builders, colony management, and sims games because I could let things run in the background for a bit.

But year after year of layoffs has resulted in a lot of extra work being dumped on me. I know I shouldn't complain since I still have a job (for now). But nowadays I'm lucky if I get to leave work on time or get more than 10 minutes for lunch.

Hello? Based department? Yeah, this post here.

that shit hits close to me. in all my years of wageslave the biggest thing I've learned that nobody taught me is that being good at anything means people expect more of you but they aren't gonna pay you more, you have to learn to tune your aura to seem mediocre enough that you don't stick out, but not incompetent enough to be let go, that's the sweetspot, but also it's soulcrushing to see life become this
>>
>>749682779
>but also it's soulcrushing to see life become this
Hell yeah it is. That's why I shitpost on 4chan all day because it's somehow more acceptable to be seen dicking off on your phone than reading a fucking book or studying languages at your desk when nothing is happening.

>>749682779
I was fired from my job, because i was actually doing a proper job and not just half assing everything. Like bitch, if i don't do shit right way, people might die.

>>749683339
That happens to me as well. I actually do shit, and then they fire me anyway, because "I am a bad example to my coworkers". Clown world, man.

I've done night shifts at a gas station where like 4 trucks would pass throughout the whole night. I could have probably hooked up a laptop with something.
I also got a summer job at a firewatch station with a drone in the middle of a national forest where I didn't have to interact with anyone but I needed to change the batteries every 30 mins and most importantly they had a camera where they could watch me inside the cabin. Listened to a shitload of audiobooks though.

Same. I applied to leave for german language school next year in deutschland since the job market here is so ass in usa.

>>749671757

All the time, been doing it for years. Most of the time now I can't even make myself play something outside of work hours.

I could but if I'm not at home I can't really relax and playing games like that isn't really fun so I don't.

can't or won't ?

I've told my employers again and again that I am extremely dissatisfied with my position because I willingly opted into extremely tedious work that no one else wanted to do with no benefit to me whatsoever and was hard stuck in that work for an entire year.
This was a lesson I learned super hard and fast. They won't get rid of me because I have the most in-team experience with a lot of the systems that make it so that I'm an extremely good point of contact, plus when I care to my customer support skills are top-tier.

It took me awhile to learn that, too. I finally started giving push back and asked for more money. And then the madlads actually gave me a pay raise. That was a nice surprise but it also reinforced my mistake of becoming "the guy".

>>749683418
Corporate drank the AI Kool Aid, and I'm currently helping out with building some of our AI systems. It's fucking wild knowing that I am making the thing that will replace me if I don't get moved into a """permanent AI maintenance"""" position by next year.

Clown world for real, brother. At least I have vidya at the end of the day.

This.
My previous workplace has been raided by local police force (some tax evasion shit had been going on for a long time), i've lost my job, but i went in court and won. I'll play wow forever with a heavy paycheck in my pocket, but still will be forced to look for a job.

Nope, the job market in europe is perfect.
