How does Zig Forums handle work-video game-life balance?
Why do we tolerate a life of working and suffering?
Get a degree
Have you considered...not playing video games?
You deserve it 100% for going into a big 4 firm. Drinking the kool-aid while brown nosing very poor, low class people who shove papers for their betters makes you no better than them despite your quirky hobbies. Gas yourself
I said big 14 not big 4
I don't have any interest in any other things
quit video games, take them up again when you actually have time.
Either you play a game you can just play 15-60 min and feel good about it or you quit games entirely for now.
It makes no sense and no fun, games are fun when you have several hours to your disposition and thus time to enjoy etc.
well you obv have interest in finance, that alone takes up alot of time, get a girlfriend , look into things that enrich your life in a meaningful way.
So 90% of the workload of a big 4 and 10% of the prestige? It's the same shit with every firm now auditing is getting more and more automated.
quit job neet smoke weed vidya cummy trade shitcoin comfy
>big 4
did it for 1 year then quit. public accounting is the most cuckholded nigger slave shit imaginable.
Video game is just an example, I don't even play them anymore and just watch videos on youtube instead but I'm too tired after work that I rather lie in bed and nap until the next morning.
How do you still find video games enjoyable? Knowing what's possible in the real world I can hardly immerse myself in fake achievements anymore.
I mean I play with IRL friends
What's possible in the real world?
Why do people like traveling that they are willing to wage cuck away to do it?
Travelling is a meme for the simple reason that the kick you get from a couple of weeks of visiting a place is no better than watching a movie marathon.
People are the same everywhere you go. Globalization has made sure of this. You will see all your favorite restaurants plus some new places were the food won't be so great. You will be running to catch up and still feel you missed a ton.
Travelling is a religious experience at best. You will long for the crap that you planned to see. In real life though it won't be so great. Those awesome photoshoped pictures that were taken from specific angles to entice you are nowhere to be seen. You are stuck with mediocrity and your now delusional mind that has high expectations.
The greatest thing you will get is boasting to your friends and relatives that now thing you are some kind of Indiana Jones while you sob inside for the money and time wasted.
Traveling is a meme. A trick that appeals only to your vanity and your delusional petty mind. People who defend traveling suffer from post purchase rationalization.
>big cities
Wow the exact same dirty overcrowded cramped hive copy-pasted hundreds of times across the globe! I'm sure that at the end of your life you'll be happy you spent your limited time and money going to sardine-can like complexes to see slightly differing configurations of tall buildings, poor people slums, druggies at clubs, and trash-laden public transportation.
>go on hikes
Pointless walking around for hours, getting nowhere and achieving nothing except staring at some stupid trees and rocks and the "rare three-striped red finch" that looks exactly like a regular fucking finch but it has a tiny red line somewhere on its plumage and thus you have seen an amazing endangered beast and this thousand-dollar excursion is the "experience of a lifetime".
>muh museums, ruins
Any historical, architectural, or artistic value can easily be analyzed through a picture, which is all you'll have left anyways in a couple months or years. There's nothing you gain from actually seeing them except pointless, self-masturbatory egoism gained from feeling "cultured" (read : going to stare at some rocks for a couple hours and blowing your hard-earned money to give it to the tour guide, someone much smarter than you)
>muh food
An utter meme, what kind of double-digit moron gets excited over what is ultimately just a rearrangement of grain, meats, vegetables, and spices that will be shit out by you in a couple days anyways. If you willingly spend your money "travelling" to eat "exotic" food you could just drive 40 minutes to get you deserve to lose it.
>muh weather
Is there a more pathetic "argument"? You could be doing literally anything else, yet you go "travelling" to get an effect easily accomplished by turning the thermostat up or down a few notches or getting a humidifier.
>woahhh bro its a few degrees higher ugghhh i love travelling its so exotiiccc!!!
Women only travel to signal status, have low iq short term preference and only value depreciating assets.
this is a good and important thread
OP, you must learn to accept some things in life. One of those things is that video games are TOYS.
They are toys. They are complex toys, but they are still something you sit down and play with to distract and entertain yourself. You are not a child anymore. You are a person, and adult, a man. Basing your life around getting time to play with a toy, is objectively insane.
As you get older your interest and obsession with toys of any type will wane, unless you continue to cultivate it. You must actually make an effort to develop mature and more importantly, socially acceptable and useful hobbies. Thing that other men in your network care about, that you could bring yourself to enjoy and engage in.
Buddy, dude, bro...video games are toys for kids, and unemployed manchildren to waste their precious time on this earth on. You can do better. Stop giving a shit about fucking toys. Yes the normie stuff is cringe, but there are some fun things out there. Sportsball is shit, but local sports leagues you actually play in, cooking, etc are great.
Video game are just an example, I don't have any enjoyment in life, hobbies or interest
Yeah that's obvious. You sound like a huge, whiny faggot having an early career crisis.
Go lift weights and get Zig Forums. Go do toastmasters.
If you still hate your life after you look healthy and are able to comminicate(manipulate) with normies effectively, then you should quit your job and become a hermit.
OP is a faggot
Building marketable skills, investing, working on things, hanging out with people, reading engaging and practical literature, I don't know
I turn a game on and immediately realize I'm just wasting time. I figured most adults get to this point but apparently not.
I tried going to the gym for 9 months and nothing changed. I always had to force myself to go and never enjoyed going after nor did I feel good after working out, more like "I'm glad that's over" like how I feel after a day of work ends except not really since there's work the next day or just a feeling of post purchase rationalization to console myself for the money spent and time spend at the gym.
I use games and sleep as time skips to reach the end of my life quicker
>I don't have any interest in any other things
Try out and develop other interests.
I tried tennis, squash, badminton, soccer, football, baseball, table tennis, tabletop rpgs, going to the gym, kayaking, travelling, eating, cooking, baking, cafe hopping, photography, videography, skateboarding, watching movies and tv series and other things but I never enjoyed any of them
Seek therapy or books or something to improve yourself or fuck off. You’re making excuses for every possible advice offered to you. I’m sure this has been a common theme in your life. Negativity is easier than being positive but you are the only person responsible for your position in life. Wish you the best user but stop being a negative bitch
You are 100% fag if you think looking at a photo/digital reproduction is the same experience as being in front of an original object / work. Your mind is so closed you deserve the life you have
Shut the fuck up, its all the same in real life or not. So what if you see it in real life, you're only coping because you wasted money on the plane ticket and lodging and want to justify your buyer's remorse.
Unironically try psychedelics
OP is unironically a faggot
OP is a huge whiny faggot. If you don’t enjoy anything stop posting here too.
I worked in Big 4 and was earning $1000/month rate
I'm from Poland
Meanwhile big 4 analysts in America earn 10x that
The beauty of a spiritual experience will be lost on this colorblind faggot.
>>too tired to play video games when I get home and head to bed immediately
If you are working 8 hour days with a reasonable commute you should have plenty of time to relax and game on the week days. If you're working more than 40 hours a week or commuting more than 30 minutes each way for an accounting job that should be boring and stress free, it's time to find another job.
big 4 auditors in america make $50-60k/year at the staff level. it's a scam here too.
Youre probably depressed, go talk to your doctor.
Also, drink more water, swap nigger tier snack for healthy snacks
Lol. Invest your left over money. And become rich and stop working
