i am a dishwasher at a college and make 9.50 an hour, sharing rent with one person. I STILL can afford vidya. try to just not be a retard

Born to well off parents, mindlessly followed the private education system until uni, now have a comfy job in marketing with companies that throw absurd amounts of money at our bosses so they give us a lot of bonuses.

Why do people who work fast food or retail always want pity points
Get a real fucking job

An office job that pays at least 6 figures.

Anything that you don't hate.

6 figures a year.

Be born rich or help us all to topple this shitty system we are currently live in.

Buy hardware, pirate software, ignore merch.

I make about $70k/year and have relatively low costs of living, and vidya is a pretty affordable hobby.

I recognize that I'm fortunate to be doing well, and I hope that fortune will smile upon you, user, so that you too may have a job you enjoy that affords you both the money and time to enjoy your hobbies.

There are lots of decent jobs if you just go through tech schools. Pharmacy, radiology techs, dental assistant, technician in something specific like fixing fridges or some shit.

You can get decent pay just by going through some 2 year program. Or you can go 50,000 in debt getting some generalized bachelor's degree in business which still puts you in line with hundreds of millions of competitors.

Those are real jobs. Anyone who complains about them in that tone would be reduced to a simpering mess within days if they had to deal with the shit your average retail or fast food worker deals with.

Why are you stuck making 9.50 as a dishwasher when most retailers (walmart, target, costco, etc.) Hire at around 13 minimum

well the average person on Yea Forums seems to make at least 100 000$/year on some office job where they do their work in 2 hours and then spend the rest 6 playing video games on their work computer, so probably something better than that
being a CEO on some larger company, perhaps?

we must have the same job

2K yearly for prebuilts? That's kinda overkill man. There's nothing coming out that is that graphically demanding to need that unless the machines you're buying are alienware tier where you're paying for the branding and not the parts.

But you had enough for a PC?

Same but with law school.
Corporate law is the best for bonuses. The company gets commission on any overhead and about half of it goes to the people who actually worked on it.

I guess thats the trade off for the ridiculous price of renting in my state.

Depends on the area you live in. I love in smaller city with a lower cost of living. My first job out of college I’m making about 35k after tax and I’m doing just fine. Nice 2 bedroom apartment is around $1200, tax return is my vacation fund, small bonuses at work =2,200 a year extra as well. I’m able to save at least $330 a month for long term savings and $200 a month for fun money after I pay bills, rent, gas, insurance, clothes, going out to eat money, etc..

my parents give me $300 monthly for housing, rent, food and other shit like that. little did they know that my rent is actually paid by the uni themselves since i'm one of the top students, so i just use the extra money i get sent to buy other shit for myself

A good job is generally one where an hour of effort creates more than an hour of value for other people

Think about it like this. You make a burger. It takes something like ten minutes. One person gets that burger. They give you maybe a dollar 20 for that burger. Every time you want a dollar 20, you have to make another burger. That's not a good job
Now look at something like a web dev job. You make a feature for your website. It takes you maybe 10 hours total. A million people instantly have access to that feature. How much value did you generate? It's hard to even begin to measure. Look at payment processors. They take literally pocket lint for each individual payment, but the fact that billions of people use them makes them some of the richest companies in the world. THAT is the kind of shit that makes a job good, scaling.

I only buy one or two full priced games a year
Otherwise I only buy games that came out 2+ years ago or are small titles

Why the fuck do people care about working weekends. I mean, I guess I get why normies with social lives want weekends off, but neets on Yea Forums should love weekends. If you just mention during an interview that you don't mind working weekends, you probably jump up straight to the top of their list. Little traffic, you get weekdays off to do errands, and you don't have to deal with most of the normie coworkers who are mostly middle aged old ladies who are completely humorless and just talk about their kids.

-Knowing people helps a lot, but on Yea Forums that's not likely.
-Exaggerate your past experience. Even if all you've done is school, lie and say you did a work study relevant to your job. If you are in some sales position, say you've done projects related to sales position, increasing sales, etc. They can't prove you wrong there.
-Like I said earlier, even in upper tier jobs, if your job is open on the weekend, mention during the interview that you are willing to work weekends. Neets with no social lives need to play this card hard, there are plenty of normies who hate working weekends and are probably waiting for their shift to get filled by you. There are tons of managers who hate having to deal with whiny employees who constantly call out on weekends because of their brats. You will stand out if you volunteer to work weekends, and if you hate weekends, then quit or change shifts after a year. You'll have experience to find another job, or you can play the seniority card to change shifts once openings appear.

that's probably because you're trying to find jobs working for a business, not for a contracting company that contracts with those businesses.

where do you live? a CS degree will get you some interviews, not as many as if you had certs, but it counts for something.

I hate work. It's soul crushing. On the plus side, having to work makes me apathetic and joyless, so even though I do have money to spend, I hardly buy any games anymore or do anything with it that I used to enjoy, really.

Unironically because I bought bitcoin and ethereum in 2016. I don't have to work another day in my life now. It's not too late for you though, you can still buy LINK.

Creative jobs like acting and art are usually what they refer to but if you're legit in those fields they pay fuckhuge golden dragon stacks so that certainly helps

>occasionally deal with software fuckups but it's rare enough that it tends to be more like solving a puzzle than work
It actually is true, there are jobs out there that don't feel like work but you need the skills and specialization to be able to get away with it.

Like what
Any job thst wouldn't be miserable for me i either missed the train for or never had a chance to begin with.

The only thing is torture and agony for the rest of my life. I want to breakdown sobbing everyday after work.

Games so damn cheap to get, you habe to be doing something wrong

Started out with low tier jobs, then got a tech support position at a small software company. Worked up from there by being the go-to-guy for lots of shit. I have a B.S. in I.T.

Did you cash out, or are you hoping that stays valuable forever?

I've had two jobs I liked. Working at the arcade when I was in college and working government IT before we got (((downsized))).

I work a shit wagecuck job I want to die at now but I'm hoping that's not permanent. There are good jobs.

Ever since I got my job and stopped being a NEET, I legitimately have not played any of my games in my Steam Library (or my Xbox 360 which I still used to play on). If I'm lucky, I play a mobile game and that's pretty much it.
I've now relegated myself to playing on "NationStates.net" to fulfill my roleplay autism

Quantitative analyst

I work in software as a tech lead.
I get paid a ton to solve hard technical problems at a billion dollar company. I'm being paid to work from home right now, I'm typing his from the toilet. Get good and it all gets easy.

If you have a Switch and don't give a fuck about going online just hack it.

i almost never buy games on release. usually a few months later when the price drops.

the point is one is niche and one is highly niche, and it isn't that crazy for someone with a CS degree focused on a highly niche subject to have trouble finding a job.

This. It's mostly time wastey open world shit nowadays. I have such a huge backlog, I can easily kill 2 years playing old games then all of the open world shit coming out now will be 10 dollars, and those games are SUPPOSED to last you at least a month

I work as a manager in medical devices. my job is to unironically assign work while pretending to work.

Wish i had more black weeb/nerd friends. I dont know why i can be non-autistic, have a job and gf and still be massively into vidya and anime and shit but some of my alabaster acquaintances seem to find that fucking impossible

Boyfriend buys them for me with the money he makes from his stream and YouTube channel.

Recently I've been waking up after 7 hours on the dot for some reason. I think I programmed my body to wake up at that time no matter what day it is because of work, even on my days off

>The only thing is torture and agony for the rest of my life. I want to breakdown sobbing everyday after work.
That is because you are in a completely destructing environment, what you need first is immediately quit whatever job you have right now, because obviously from what you're describing, it sounds like fucking hell.
Once this shit is behind you, you need to rethink your situation:wWhat can you do vs what you want to do, you need to set realistic expectations and start working from there. This shit can take time but it is necessary to avoid sprialing down those fucked up thoughts
Your sanity/health is never worth a job.

having a non minimum wage job.

but honestly i just pirate shit anyway. buying vidya is for idiots.

This. I'm not one to fully endorse piracy and gloat about it, but I consider switch piracy justice for shitting on wii u customers. Switch is mostly overpriced ports anyways.

4 to 6 hours. I really should sleep at 10pm but I'm too busy shitposting and watching cat videos to care about my health.

>Literal life savings on PC
>Pocket change for games

I have no dreams anymore.

You can basically do some big shit when it comes to education. I knew some that started small as teachers, learnt a lot more, got done with different exams that would further them in their position as a teacher and before you knew it they ended up being both a teacher and then having a spot in the Inspectorate as well, basically going around the county or even the country at different schools to inspect the staff there, how the lower tier teachers were doing and all that. Everyone feared them, everyone respected them and their income was actually pretty good as well to the point they managed to afford having 2 houses in different places at the same time.

>haha bruh I'm adult time to put down the controller happy wife happy life :)

scum.

The real thing killing me is having no time for vidya because Im in transit 4 hours a day getting to and coming home from work. Will probably quit the first chance I get offered a job that's closer to home

You dont play or expend in vidya until you make your life.
I should had follow this.

pirating and pirating

Advice for you fags here: Singleplayer and Multi with tungle/hamachi viability games are not worth a single cent

sorry mr gamedev i dont support your globalist agenda so you get no money from me. thanks for the free game.

>how do you guys afford vidya?

Gacha is the kind of game where with special currency (which can be purchased with real money) you can roll on banners to get new characters or stuff like that, many games give you some of that currency for free, how much, how and how frequently depends on the game.

In essence, is usually an RPG with a fuck load of characters to use that some part of Yea Forums thinks is bad because they lack the self control and patience that these kind of games require.

I don't know about the lolis tho but I know there are several.

I make a million dollars per second hahaha what a bunch of poor losers in this thread. I own every console and every game. Even the ones you never heard of. I hired multiple development teams that create games for me. You wish you could be me. Playing games that nobody else will get to because when I finish them they're deleted from existence. Go to school for video game development you might have a chance to be hired onto my team. You'll have fun watching super models suck me off while I berate your work and blow my load on your face because you won't quit. I pay so much the thought of losing your job with me would make you put a bullet in your skull.

If you are buying new releases at 60 dollars you are retarded. Wait literally 2 months sometimes and you save 40-50%.

There's also tons of shit you can buy dirt cheap/free. It's a universe of shit, but there can be some entertaining games on phones. Epic games has been giving pretty good games every week for free. I don't care if you prefer steam, just use epic for free games. Go back and emulate older games. Go to a niche used media store and get some PS3/360 games you may have missed out on. Literally just pirate.

Is this how NEETs cope? By calling every single job a wagie mcjob? Some people are in their twenties getting 80k a year. Those people are 100% having a better life than a NEET who gets maybe 200 a month from the government.

As someone who started as a cashier for 7.70/hr, I can tell you that's bullshit. Yeah, sometimes it's a little tough, but the amount of dicking around you can get away with is absurd compared to a job that takes any level of skill.

you sound like one of those annoying insecure 8 year olds.

>have no college education
>hire myself as a receptionist in a medical center

Feels weird man

not trying to defend nintendo in anyway but how are they shitting on wii u customers? the console sold like dogshit due to their terrible marketing but they still supported it, it even got BotW which was weird considering thatd be a system seller for their newest system at the time.

How's configuring chinese made hardware "niche" and not the fast food equivalent of being an engineer? Cryptography is actual (applied) math. You might be confusing it with cybersecurity or w/e.

This. Getting paid to be autistic and play vidya is my dream job.

Why

well if you hire yourself i imagine you get a ton of promotions and raises

Meant to say >get hired as a receptionist
sorry user if you felt offended by my post I hope this doesn't happen again

it's niche in the sense that it's a relatively small field with fewer job opportunities than other areas of tech. it's not about something being easy or hard.

By literally having any kind of normal job. Like you are delusional or underage if you think hypothetically paying 60$ for a game is a lot of money. I say hypothetically because any non brainlet either buys games when they are on sale or just pirates them.

I mean... he already said it...

prove it

Wtf. I'd just honestly move if I have to take a 2 hour bus ride just to get to work. That's insane.

Basically you’re allowed to sleep between 9pm and 7am at the station but if you get a call you have to wake up and go deal with it. Some nights you sleep well others you’re up all night dealing with bullshit.

Actually yeah

well tbf im 25 too and i've been working only for a year
dropped out from college and work on sawmill, at least its not the absolute minimum pay stuff and i dont have to deal with c*stomers

I work at a pharmaceutic, I move around the medicine, is easy and comfy, I sit and do nothing for about one hour and a half every single day, sometimes the machines fuck up and need to be repaired so I work even less.

I have 4~6 hours free for vidya per day.

Oh that's actually pretty interesting. Basically On Call, except you still have to be on site. What do you guys do in the downtime besides sleep?

>buying games

I know your feel bro, I used to work on a barge and when we went through a lock or made it to dock we had to wake up a deckhand or a mate and catch a line or whatever we had to do. In Tennesee there's this one river where there's one lock after the other, so when you finish one you might get an hour of sleep or two depending on how fast the tow was moving.

I can but I dont

I mean I'll pirate single player games, but I make enough money, I just don't like piracy because I feel bothered the entire time I'm playing for some reason, that and I'm a retard.

Well the only reason I'm tolerating it is because I'll be moving by the start of 2020 out of necessity so when that happens and I am still employed I'll get an apartment close to work.

Getting government cash from going to University

the funny thing is even working part time burger flipping, you'd easily afford a beastly PC with a 2080ti in 6 months or less

Is there a worse feeling than to wake up early and go to work? how can people live like that is beyond me, evening or night are miles better tbqh.

A little heads up for the wagecucks. I suggest you be careful missing more than 3 days of work.

Theres a 6 month period time whsther they decide to keep you and if you cross the the three day threshold of missing work, they'll fire you.

I enjoy my job. It’s still frustrating as hell and challenges me every day on all fronts both in my technical skills and my introverted personality. But there is nothing better than leaving work after a good day interacting with people and being productive. It’s better than drugs.
