Hah they still actually look forward to playing the game, instead of just playing it to fill the time.

Get up at 6. Work will 6. 1hr to make dinner. 2 hrs awake with wife. Go to bed at 9. Wake up at 530 and cry for 30 min.
Rerpeat adinfinium until i finally die. This is no way to live.
This is no way to live.
I wonder what would happen if everyone who felt this way all at once just decided to stop. All at once, everyone turns around and goes home. How many people would it be? Half? 3/4? Most of them?
We almost got to experience a change when Covid hit, the only bright spot, but it was soon eclipsed by corporate buzzwords and inspirational music montages on powerpoint telling us how happy we are to return to offices and ten hours of driving and 1/8 of our paycheck on gas every goddamn week so we can sit in a visible place while we waste time reading emails that don't pertain to us and attending meetings about initiatives that are meant only to make the shareholders think we're doing something.
Shareholders who attend the meetings via Zoom at that.
This is 100% truth.
When you're young, you have a lot of free time and no money to enjoy that time
When you get into a career, you have money, and no time.
When you retire, you have money and time (to some extent), but you're old and likely not able to enjoy things nearly as much as you would have been able to when you were younger (generally due to body aches and whatnot).
Being middle/lower "class", you're basically fucked.
Do his jeans have little jean booties attached to them?
Jooties!
No, it gets much worse.
No but it does get worse after you have kids. Ah who am I kidding, this is a greentext post.
But then you get kids. Definitely better than video games.
Father of 3 kids under 6, I still play an hour or so a day, some weekends I get a night to play with friends.
And I have time for work in commercial electrician. Come home to work on my garden, chickens, greenhouse, and hang with the kids and family.
Going to be doing my own solar in the next week or two. Tonight going to a mtg mh3 event with a friend to play some magic.
All weekend to chill with my children, wife, and enjoy some parks. Once kids are asleep I'll watch a movie with my wife.
Life is good. Time for everything.
Are you guys dual income though? How do you have time to keep your home clean? I don't even have kids but with full time work I struggle.

Yep I got one and videogames aren't even in my radar. I don't even have a gaming computer anymore
He only has two hours after work before he has to go to sleep? That's like a 70 hour work week!
I mean you still have to get home first, then probably cook and eat something, shower, etc.
All of that takes time as well
I have about 3h of gaming after work during the week. So the meme is pretty accurate about this part. But I also have free weekends, enough vacation time and a job that doesn't drain much energy. So I'm fine currently.

At my last job I had barelly 30 mins if lucky, used to work for almost 80 hours a week and at tikes worked up to 12 days straight with no days off.
All for a barelly 800 euro pay.
Oh, man, that's rough. How is such a thing even legal?
Live in a shithole and everything is legal

Narrator: No, it doesn't.
I mean it helps if you don't completely hate your job.
Here's the trick: just sleep less! You'll get more time to ~~play games~~ do chores, ~~stare at the ceiling in existential dread~~ find yourself, and ~~slowly lose your sanity as sleep deprivation begins to bring your worst nightmares to life~~ sleep deeper in the precious hours.
