How did getting a job influence your gaymen habit, Yea Forums? Do you play less? More? Did your preferences change?

I buy less games and don't play shit that requires you to spend a hundred hours grinding

I play less yeah. When I was in college I dud fuck-all but get high and play videogames. Job got me to be motivated to do shit for/about myself, so less time to screw around grinding mobs and everything.

Preference, not really. Still the same old jap crap and clickfest runegame

It wasn't the job really, but the age. When you turn 25 you notice that sitting around all day playing vidya makes your head mushy and you start to notice that you can only really appreciate the time you spend gaming if there is something else you can relax from like a job. A family is probably why worse for your gaming time.

I play less, go out with friends more often and avoid games that require you to invest more than 5 hours before they get fun (looking at you, Xenoblade Chronicles 2)

This is completely false.
The best time I had in the past 6 years or so (since I've started working) was when I was unemployed for 4 months last year.
Finally I felt like I have time to enjoy things properly, no need to hurry and squeeze as much fun as possible from the limited time being a worker bee slave leaves you.

Well I am a teacher, I get like 12 weeks of holidays a year, maybe there's the difference.

Government employees don't actually know what work means.

I play a lot less now, not that I don't want to play games but when I'm off I really just want to de stress and relax. If there's a game I'm really looking forward to or something I may take a vacation day or something but other than that I don't game a whole lot. Nothing really interesting is coming out though and there's nothing I'm really itching to go back and play at the moment TLDR I'm just waiting for a game that looks fun to come out.

More. I play them habitually now, to ease the pain. It's essentially my drug of choice at this point.

I was honestly more physically fit and productive when I didn't have a job because I wasn't always coming home exhausted with no will to do anything else.

>finally have money to buy all the newest games, consoles, and PC upgrades
>have no fucking time to play games or build a pc

honestly idk why I'm even working i feel like i should quit for a few months a year at least just so i can actually spend the money i make

Anytime I have a job I become completely absorbed in games whenever I'm off, like I can get way more immersed in them than when i'm living like a NEET and have limitless free time, i guess I just value my free time more and because I hate working so much it feels like a huge relief to do something I actually enjoy.
4 months isn't that long try a year or more and you'll start to not give a fuck when you can play games anytime or simply play them as a way to release yourself from boredom of having nothing to do all the time.

I developed Insomnia and a severe anxiety disorder after getting a job, I play games to get my sanity/normal back

same. I'm up until 5 am playing Super Mario Maker every night

>was when I was unemployed for 4 months last year
That's, like, the sweet spot—long enough to have a great time playing games, short enough to end before you get bored of them. Like the other user said, when it drags out to a year, you start getting bored of them. Being able to play them any time in any quantity just makes them depressing after a while.

It changed how long I spend time on a game.

I used to be a completionest using guides for all the hidden crap and grinding for hours for a hidden dungeon.

Since I got my job I've stopped doing that completely.

Now I just play through the game without a guide or doing all the sidequests. Just going from start to finish, and collectables or dungeons I missed I will just skip them and finish the game.

If it's multiplayer I will play one match or two then drop it for the day and switch to the single player ones.

Once I finish the game I move on to a new game. I honestly think it's changed my gaming habits for the better since I cleared my steam backlog of 100 games and I am having fun playing new games every week and not spending 100s of hours on a multiplayer game or looking up YouTube guides for how to get this timed chest that unlocks a good weapon.

It also gives me a reason to return to the games I beat in the future if I ever want to 100% them.

Job/school basically makes it so I only play mobile garbage on the bus ride there and back.
An hour of free time is not enough to play anything that isn't an action game. It's just enough to start getting into something then having to shut it off.
