How is it possible to play lengthy rpgs like Persona and Final Fantasy without being NEET? Serious question

me too. i have a pc/monitor combo worth like $3,500, but unless im playing with friends (which happens less and less as time goes on), i'll just lie in bed playing my nindrendo stanch with youtube or a tv show on in the background.
it's so weird. when i was young and had no money, i dreamed of a monster pc that could play every game on max settings. now i have that with a high frame rate monitor and ssd and fuckin everything, but all i play is my super gameboy.

Get a longer long-term attention span

Assuming you play shorter games, then do the same thing you do with those, but over a longer total period of time.

I'm a NEET and I don't have enough time.

> "I don't have the time!"

You do.

I wanna start playing through old rpgs I missed out on, and I want to play them in bed. I was doing research and it seems like my best options are a used psp or emulating on my phone and getting a controller and phone mount. I would just buy a psp but it seems retarded to spend $90 or however much a good condition used one is instead of just using my phone with a gigantic battery. Help

Yea weekends are when I'm ever actually on my PC and even then it's to play risk of rain 2 if my friends are on. If not switch/3ds in bed while I'm catching up on anime or podcasts off my tablet. I've been doing this for years now so I'm comfortable with it at least. Cant wait for pic related

>be me
>neet
>want to play persona
>end up browsing Yea Forums for hours on end
I don't understand how you can play the game period. I'm halfway through Shido's palace, I'm literally on the final stretch, it can't be that hard to just play the game for a few more hours.

>go to work
>come back at 4pm
>eat and shower
>play vidya for six hours
>repeat
well gee, that's like a little over two weeks, more likely three weeks for a game like Persona 5 which is still alot, but you don't really feel it when having fun.

I work 12 hours shifts and these posts always make me wonder if people are too retarded or bad to play some then save or play on your days off.

It's more of a problem of why even bother playing such a long game for that short of a time? I usually just end up playing a few multiplayer rounds of something and calling it a night as do most people I'd imagine.

just check Yea Forums between sessions of play

Granted, despite my post of coming home at 4pm I played the game during my uni break shortly after it came out over the course of two months. The former is still my routine nowadays, it just didn't apply to P5.
It basically was the only game I was interested at the time though, right now I bought so much stuff during the steam sale that I'm kinda overwhelmed with all the things I need to get through.

>Overwhelming
that's exactly how I feel. Why am I working if I have no time to enjoy things? Work makes squeezing anything you want to enjoy into a few hour period an overwhelming feat. It's a vicious cycle that undermines any sort of reward incentive.

>It's more of a problem of why even bother playing such a long game for that short of a time?
Because it's fun? If you'd rather play multiplayer games, then maybe you don't enjoy these longer games as much as you think.

That is true, but one thing I've always thought about is that games were also created by people who have to get up every morning, deliver before deadlines and tire out. Sure, many of them probably don't dislike their work and environment as much as I do, but people creating those games/enterntainment and me just consuming them without actually providing anything myself just feels wrong.

If you don't have a social life you should have plenty of time to play games, even with a job

>I expect everyone to enjoys things the way i do, why would anything I dont enjoy be fun for anyone else?

Shit post mate. I am the complete opposite. You wont find a mutliplayer game in my collection and i just got off work to play a 80 hour rpg fro a couple of more hours today.

I dont play games for fun I play games for escapism from my shitty work filled life.

that's an interesting perspective, but playing vidya doens't make me feel any guilt despite knowing how shitty devs work can be

I don't expect people to be like me, but on this site I expect people who atleast understand wanting to just be a comfy neet and play vidya for as long as possible

Nigger, it's not like it's hard to keep up with quests with modern RPGs, what with all the streamlining and QoL shit, not to mention quest markers.
You could literally finish modern RPGs in a week.

For older RPGs, you just go through a couple of hours a day, or a quest a day.
How could you fags literally go through watching your favorite anime/HBO series and not be able to play RPGs in the same fashion?

Get motivated

Weekends.

I work like... 20 hours a week. I couldn't imagine playing games much if I worked 40 or something, I don't need that much money.

How is it possible to watch Netflix for 6 hours everyday after work and complain about people that rather use their brain while entertaining themselves? Serious question.

Get a better chair.. or maybe assume a better posture.

Oh the weekend, dummy.

>he has a job that has a schedule and doesnt just constantly work him with random hours each week

get a load of this guy

You just put in an hour here and there and it eventually adds up because you don’t play anything else.

Just play at the weekend..... I work Monday to Friday and spend all day Saturday and Sunday playing games

Even still, unless you’re in some always-on-call position, you’ve got the time. I work at a bar, and the “schedule” barely passes as a rough guideline for a given week. I find that I have more than enough time to do things I want to do, be that playing lengthy games or otherwise

>I want to play them in bed
Get a bed like pic related
