How do you guys even find time to play videogames? Life is so fucking short...

I'm unfit to be in society because of my disabilities. I don't know what to do with my time. I read a little bit but I mostly just play games and browse sites like Yea Forums, reddit and discord.

i ignore my growing pile of coursework

Currently a NEET living in a van so I have plenty of time to waste on shit games.

So far just playing Path of Exile and DK Online.

I'd be down to play games with people if they want to become redpilled alphas who are willing to grief and troll others.

Yeah, i agree. Or do you have so many things to do? If so then cut the things that are not that important, if vidya is one of them, then so be it.

What makes reading a book more fulfilling or worthwhile than playing vidya?

Work, gym 3 times a week or so, socialize. Plenty of vidya time left.

They are diffrent experiences for sure, ive never been a person that reads but i started a year ago and now i have read around ten books, im a slow reader so it takes a while. My tip is to at least try it, you might enjoy it.

depends what other hobbies you have and how you want to prioritise them. like that guy said he's single with no kids, if that's the only hobby he has then there's plenty of time for video games.
I'm currently a NEET, but my former job I was only working 2 days a week, while my only other real responsibility is playing in a band and I'm single no kids. Between work, band practice, playing gigs, hanging out with friends at least once a fortnight and other miscellaneous things I had/have ridiculous amounts of time to waste on playing video games and watching anime
I have a friend who has a gf of 6 years who pretty much lives with him and he works full time, but I've been playing Apex Legends with him almost every night for the past few weeks
How do you not have time for video games OP?

I play video games to forget the shit I have to do
To my own detriment, of course. I pretend things don't exist but they do and it always fucks me over at some point.

I got fired 2 weeks after I was hired. Looks like another month of video games all day

Thats a good point OP. Now i have a fuckton of time, but when i was working full time i had i girlfriend and i was more sociable than ever, i still had some time for some vidya. Back then Nier Automata took me like 2 months to finish.

>all of my friends are back home and they play video games a lot, so it's better than doing shit alone
>only other hobby I have is learning languages/general knowledge of anything and that can be done while playing video games

while commuting to work, audio books goes REALLY fast too, you can go through entire bibliographies of authors if you read/listen combo.

also even large rpgs with dozens of hours of gameplay are easily beaten even with 30 minutes of gameplay, you can prob play it waiting for soup or food heating in the oven, video games are not hard, getting through media is not hard, the only thing that is a real timesink is binge watching television series, that is a real pain.

>also even large rpgs with dozens of hours of gameplay are easily beaten even with 30 minutes of gameplay,
You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that I only want to play for 30 minutes, or better said, that I am okay with (quick)saving in the middle of a dungeon. I am not okay with that. I want to fully explore a dungeon, enjoy the cutscene, then get a new itinerary, and then maybe fuck around a bit before continuing. Putting the game down is centered wholly around that bit of fucking around, if i have a say.

Sometimes if I have even an hour of free time, I feel like I can't really play my RPG.

most of the fun real life content is behind a paywall or requires a high charisma/luck level.

alright, but there are more vidya than rpgs, i just picked rpgs as an example of something that is long and considered a chore to get through, i myself is very content on small sessions and going through just the main story, and maybe months/year later picking it up again and doing it again with all the side content.

i can't really think of any video game genre that requires full attention for hours, maybe mmorpg raids? but i have never touched stuff like that because i don't see the value reflecting the product, especially since it's monthly payments

puzzle games on handhelds, hell mobile gaming enjoying video games without taking up your entire day has never been easier

>All the time we have shit to do
im a shut in, i dont have anything to do.

Don’t tell me what the fuck to do with my free time. If I want to read I’ll read, nigger. They’re both pointless hobbies either way. Pretentious faggot.

would you be content with a 30 minutes play session if the experience was satisfying enough, though? like say VR?

Lol I work full time and go to college full time and somehow find a decent number of hours each week for games, I can’t imagine how much time I’d have if I only did one or the other. More than I’d know what to do with!

I guess you're correct, it seems my 'tism flared up.

Hell what I said is pretty limited to JRPGs, for me stuff like story heavy Kingdom hearts doesn't follow what I said.

Git gud fag

Ehhhhhh. In my mind, those things don't entirely add up. I get that VR would be a standalone satisfying activity, but VR of my fav game might feel cheap, and I'd go back to playing it normally. All speculation though really.

Maybe Skyrim VR or something similar would meet all expectations. Or some kind of sports game, or hunter sim or something.

Yeah, i read while communting to work/school. I usually like to play longer games to sink my teeth in. Or short games like OW or Apex. And series are taking a lot of time, i watch anime and that is a real time sinker.

only 900 episodes to go user, you'll get through, only 50 episodes until planet namek explodes, and big mama yelling wedding cake
