I fricking hate working. How the frick do people who have a job finish more than one game a month?
You play from 6 to 10 weekdays and the whole weekend if you like. That's 52 hours a week which is enough to beat most games.
i'm working 6 - 10 weekdays and i still have to make food/clean the house etc as well
what are your hours exactly? making food shouldn't take much time at all unless you are actually cooking meals and stuff
>unless you are actually cooking meals
do you live in your mom's basement still? How the frick else do you make food?
You don't get deliveroo 21 times a week?
Sounds like a good way to be fat and broke.
why not try meal prepping if you can stand eating the same thing multiple times? plebbit has a lot of information on the subject
NTA but i hate eating the same shit every single day, i like having variety in my meals.
>be retro gamer
>finish bunch of games despite having approximately 3/4 hours a workday to do them in
Once again in life, has my preference for old media been proven to be better
>don't eat breakfast/lunch cause I don't wanna shit in company bathroom
>just go home and eat cook meal and go to sleep in food coma
Once again my taste in diet has been proven superior
If you like games you will do it. I use my lunch break to play JRPGs.
>he doesnt live off of fast food
Ngmi
NTA but what do you suggest for dinners? I come home and enjoy cooking a lot but it gets tiring cooking legit every day. Fast food is so expensive and frozen dinners taste like crap
I usually do frozen vegetables and prepared frozen meat. Throw it in the steamer of a rice cooker and you can add a curry sauce or something. Couple minutes prep time at most. Frozen food isn't bad, microwaved food is.
My rice cooker is the best thing I have ever purchased.
>bro putting rice and a tiny bit of water in a pot and then just leaving it for 20 minutes is like... bro...
>you've got to get a rice cooker bro it will change your whole world. now after 20 minutes it makes a sound for you bro!
Yes.jpg
the entire discussion is about convenience, so yes
Just google "one pan" or "one pot" meals or bulk cook.
Alternatively make stuff that doesn't require much cooking like sandwiches or salads.
You can also take canned or frozen meals and use them to "cheat" a lot of the prep for proper meals. Canned soup on it's own might taste like crap but with a little bit of seasoning and some fresh meat/vegetables it's a good basis for a sauce or stew
you need to eat rice and meat bro. get some bulgogi marinade and just eat beef and rice. throw in an onion, throw in a bag of peas and carrots, whatever you fancy. get some sweet and spicy sauce and just eat that shit man.
Pre-chop sausages/meat portions and freeze them. If they're cut small/thin enough you can defrost them in the pan and let them cook.
Get canned/frozen vegetables or make a simple salad
Get a rice cooker or boil some potatoes while you do other things
Make big pots of stew/pasta/etc and finish it off throughout the week
>Get a rice cooker
TO ANYONE WANTING TO BUY A RICE COOKER: BUY A ZOJIRUSHI
I REPEAT: BUY A ZOJIRUSHI
>b-but it's expensive...
YES IT IS AND IT'S WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT
Things you can do in under an hour
>simple american-chinese style dishes
>anything with pasta that isn't pretentious (spaghetti bolognese is piss-easy)
>fried chicken from scratch, even with fries
>most stir-fries
>breaded cutlets
>most "just throw it in the oven" vegetable + smaller meat piece recipes
>crepes/pancakes
>some indian stews
and many more but this is the shit that i do without much prep work
>unless you are actually cooking meals
are you NOT cooking your meals? do you eat pork chops and potatoes raw?
putting frozen stuff in the oven then taking it out and eating it isn't cooking
>putting frozen stuff in the oven
you don't do that, you let the meat defrost first and that usually takes an hour
That sounds like ingrediants. I'm talking about pizza or nuggs.
>buying and eating pre-made frozen pizzas
>eating pre-made frozen food in general
the goyest of slops
maybe stop cleaning and get your meal delivered?
>52h
I do that in a day
people who actually want to play, will
i fricking hate being a wagie but even if i was a neet i wouldn't play videogames lol
don't ask me why im on this board
They don't, why do you think the percentages for achievements finishing the game are usually so low?
i only play rpgs
>i only play rpgs
I don't. I just play what I can until I get tired of it or another game comes out. It's hard for me to finish games, I usually get to the final act and get tired of it. Certain games will hook me enough to complete them, it's been a while though. I'll definitely play through FF7R2 when its out
I never work overtime and don't do anything social
It's all about time management.
Food prep during weekend, not living like a pig to need clean every day, regularly exercising and sleeping at least 7 hours a day is all you need to have time and energy for your hobbies.
>wtf how am I supposed to game after I work, cook and do chores, there's only 5 hours left in the day
based chad who never
>transits
>showers
>shops
>exercises
>has any social commitments
>has any other hobbies
>eats
>washes up
>does his laundry
>cleans
>jacks off
>gets haircuts
>fricks women
But then that's a different question isn't it.
>I work 12 hours at the Amazon warehouse, commute three hours, come back and spend two hours on arms in my home gym, edge in the shower for an hour afterwards, prep a roast, hire an escort to eat it with me, frick her afterwards and darn my socks before going bowling. How am I supposed to break through in the esports scene like this?
>How am I supposed to break through in the esports scene like this?
Bro I literally just want to win regionals that's totally unfair
I eat all my meals at my job's cafeteria. I never cook shit unless it's the weekend.
>homies cook brand new dinners and clean their toilets every day, then wonder why they have no time for anything
How dare someone be functional. Truly the most offensive thing you can be in these times
scrubbing your toilet every single day is terminal ocd, not "being functional"
when you wagecuck you gotta optimize your times, homie.
Cook for 2-3 days, if you don't want to eat the same shit 2-3 days in a row, you freeze 2 portions. I cook every day a few days, then I can just unthaw stuff from the fridge and spend a whole week without cooking at all.
>tfw you have 50cm3 of freezer space in a dogshit apartment that can barely fit one meal
get a chest freezer goy
>homies eat factory sludge and live in dark, trashed-fill caves then wonder why they suffer from crippling depression.
I lost 10 kg since I started cooking my own foods and made my dinner smaller.
They put their phones down.
I've been neet my entire life and I rarely complete games.
>find away to make some pocket change with passive income or side hustle (not the scam shit like drop shipping)
>only have to work part time at an actual job
its that easy homie
What's your current side hustle then anon?
>get off at 4
>cook dinner
>watch some anime while I eat
>go the gym at 6-6:30 for an hour and a half
>still have until 11:30-12:30 to frick around
>wakeup 7:30 for work at 9
Get a fricking rice cooker, frozen vegetables, and air fry some chicken breast or salmon. I know you gays don't go out, so cleaning should be easy. I even got time to take a nap for an hour after I get back. And still have time for other shit. Stop makiing excuses.
I haven't finished a game in over a year, and I even work from home. When your time is limited, it's a lot easier to just drop a game when you're burned out or no longer having fun. Most endings aren't even worth seeing really.
Work less, more time for hobbies. You ll have less money, but there's always something you don't need or can do without, so that'll even out.
>he didn't take the overnight security pill
game while you work, simple as
I don't have other hobbies.
I work 45 hours per week; live alone so I have to cook and clean.
>spend the majority of the weekend not sleeping and instead playing games
I played final fantasy 5 again this weekend, 30 hours in the span of 2 days.
Get a 10x4 job so you always have three day weekends
this
if you have a long commute AND work 5 days...it's fricking OVER
work I can handle.
I just can't handle living with my parents no more
Don't worry, I'm sure houses will become affordable again within the next 30 years!
you don't understand
I do have my own 2 store apartment here in south America, but my situation is a little complicated so i had to rent it while i help my parents with their moronic problems.
nhjjhhggg
Simple. I don't play bloated jrpg shit.
what do you play?
>can walk to my office job in 5 minutes
>thought i would have that job forever
>but now i'm looking for jobs almost an hour away
current job just isn't fun anymore, too much shit that want me to do
I'll always be jealous of people who just quit jobs because they've stopped being fun or they're boring now. Means you're so financially secure you don't have to desperately keep a job.
>Means you're so financially secure you don't have to desperately keep a job.
No, it means deciding that the risk of becoming homeless has somehow become less worse than the mental torture at work.
NTA but I was also 20-ish at one point. With time you figure out shit you didn't mind, like night shift, is something you desperately want to avoid now.
or he works in a country with a government and union that pays for his living costs should he go unemployed for a time
>should he go unemployed for a time
That's only for when you get fired without cause, anon.
When you quit, you get zero gibs from the government.
here it's only the first month after quitting
What the frick? The Netherlands doesn't have anything like that
I need to get the frick out of this country man
Remember when economists said that improving technology would let us work fewer hours? They lied.
some jobs basically exist because dregs of society need an income so government siphon taxes from them. all the retail and fast food shit can be automated, just keep minimum work force to oversee robots and do the work they can't. sadly, people are moronic and apparently still need cashiers because they want a human to be passive aggressive to.
my wagecuck job lets me whale in gacha
Honestly finishing only one game a month was kind of a blessing for me. It stopped me from mindlessly consuming everything that came out and forced me to really savor what I play.
>work from home
>finally read all those 50+ hour visual novels you'd never get around to otherwise
Thank you based covid I never would have read muvluv otherwise
No one LIKES working anon. There's a difference between a job and career.
home office IT with like 3 hours at best daily
Well, I hate working either, but I hate even more starving to death
Just eat a few hard boiled eggs every once in a while, it's filling and healthy. Then you can spend more time on your Chinkslop gacha games.
At one job I was at I was doing the job of 5 people yet only got 1 wage. Was working at 6am till 5pm. Would get home an be exhausted yet still have to cook/clean/tidy up once home. By the time all this was done I'd have maybe 2 hours to myself.
Could only game on Saturday night and a small amount sunday morning.
Took me almost a year to finish tales of beseria
When someone at my company retired, they took her entire workload, dumped it onto me on top of my regular workload, made me start jumping back and forth between shifts to get it all done, and didn't pay me an extra cent.
>he obeyed
good goy
That's when you start demanding a raise
By doing that they made it harder to cut you.
Why would they pay you any more when you're happy to do it for the same wage lol
Sadly they did this to me because I was the smartest person working there in that department. I was getting more money than everyone else and my bank account just kept going up which I liked.
Yet everything else in my life was suffering and I hated everything. I felt like one of those Japanese workers being pushed to suicide.
I got used as a scapegoat after 4 years because a new company wanted to use ours for their work. They had a shitty reputation and I warned them but my bosses wouldnt listen. A mistake happened and they tried to pin it on me and said everyone was replaceable. I dared them to do it and they fired me.
5 months later the department I ran folded, other staff left because they couldnt do their jobs because i wasnt there to sort stuff and i got a nice pay off from taking them to court
Have you never considered quitting?
Or, better yet, quiet quitting?
I work second shift or until midnight and have insomnia so can freely play in the 10 PM to 2 AM range every night and set my alarm for 8 or 9. I don’t have a family, take care of my pets right when I get home then feed myself, exercise and go full man child.
>work 10 hours 7 days a week
>still have enough time to play new releases for a good 2 or so hours
I dunno Anon sounds like a skill issue
>it takes wagies a MONTH to finish a game i can finish in a day
incredible
yet it took mere seconds for me to finish inside of your mother
curious
I wonder how long before you're homeless when your parents die
I pay their bills
>Implying I finish anything
Spent 6 hours today jacking off. Can't imagine being a wagie.
adult life sucks. It get even worse once you're married.
Win the lottery
You get a remote job where you are on call.
Yeah it'll be annoying when you have to stop and do work for 20 minutes but if you play single player that's just a pause and pick up.
Boomer CEOs want to end that because they want you in the wage cages despite WFH being more productive lel.
I want to die but I don't like pain, how the frick do people kill themselves?
>I fricking hate working . . . duuuuuuh
>How do people who have a job read books or watch movies or mow the lawn? Duuuuuuuh
Life would be so easy if I had a wife not gonna lie.
Living alone is too much work
idk anon, I've seen married people live trough a living hells of their own making.
It is easy to think on best case scenarios but know that you won't solve your problems with pussy
Having a wife like this would solve a lot of problems, frick I hate how 99% of girls in my country are ugly it must be so nice living in America
how having a wife would solve anything?
that sounds scary as hell
I'd be able to have kids for one
dealing with another person every day is its own kind of work
Lol having a wife means you're on call 24/7
If she wants kids you can basically say goodbye to having hobbies
So much this. Also make sure to have kids in order to fix your troubled marriage.
>he thinks having a wife is LESS work
women make life harder and more complicated, not easier. I wish I could be half that delusional
Then quit? Who the frick is making you work? Get on section 8, and find out where your nearest food pantries are. Hell the government even gives out free Internet these days. You homosexuals who insist on working for a pittance are truly some of the biggest NPCs around.
>Section 8
waitlisted
>Food pantries
Waitlisted
>Free internet
lol
I ONLY play vidya at work. I do night shift security in an empty building.
that's a good gig
We don't.
Gaming is fun but it's not 100% of life. It's an added bonus.
Death to America
Death to America
And death to capitalism
Anyone who can defend either of them are paid shills
Nukes can't hit this country fast enough
Iran or russia hopefully this year before the election
A coworker (late Gen x maybe) of mine brought up 9/11 and how it pretty much turned everything around here and I told him if 9/11 happened today there would be celebrations on the streets in America it was quite funny to watch him agree
Yep, i know a few who have inferred the same thing, its over for this country and the sooner people wake up the better. Only the rich have survived and once they leave watch this place become Brazil 2.0
Death to America
>homosexuals in this thread pretending they're not fat fricks and cook their own meals and act like cleaning takes up time
what are you girls? wtf are you cleaning if you work most hours a day? do you come home and shit all over your bedroom walls? that's no excuse for your day2day of having "no time" for gaming. for one, you're wasting time browsing and replying Ganker, so clearly you have free time to game. bunch of fake ass homies in here
Couldn't have put it to better words
>homie
OK, I could have used a better word, one that rhymes with trigger and doesn't make me look like a kidder.
Easy, get a job with 12 hour shifts.
Your work weeks are literally nothing but that, but then you get an extended time off to do whatever the frick you want without worrying about anything else.
It really trims the fat of the day that comes with usual 8 hour shifts.
I'm lazy
I just go for 20 hour weeks
But I also make game
And write
And draw
But it's lazy since it doesn't make money, it really just pays for food and a private office I jack off in because I have no self control.
>How the frick do people who have a job finish more than one game a month?
I don't. One a month is as good as I can do.
Black person
I hate working + chores + cooking. It’d be one thing only having to do one of those but needing to all just sucks all of your time away
You get used to it and become a slave, being tired and feeling depressed will become normal
I now understand why “quiet quitting” is a thing
>Do a good job
Then you just end up getting assigned more work, for the same pay as the incompetent coworkers, or end up having to make up for their frickups
>Don’t do a good job, refuse additional work
Then everyone around you whines and complains
>Economy goes bad
Then you get laid off, even if you did good work, because the people making all the money made incompetent business decisions and they basically get off scot free
Keep voting Red or Blue instead of libertarian or independent and you get what you deserve. GOP and dems are the most corrupt parties out there and they are directly and indirectly responsible for the track record of crony capitalism. End them and the country can heal.
>Voting
El Em Mayo
Find a work from home job
Play shit while "working"
What are you "cleaning" that takes so long every night? If it's just dishes, that's 5 minutes at most
Find a job next to your house or work from home
Have one day saved where you do shopping and clean the house
Plan your meals ahead and make portions to last you for 2-3 days
Most important, stop wasting your time here and go play vidya
Dumb fricking boomer
I work full time, cook for myself, exercise 3-4 hours and still manage to game 30 hours a fortnight. granted i have no social life.
Dang what happened to this thread lol bots cleared out real quick
