How do you juggle between your career and your videogames habit?

I started by own software business and now I can do whatever I want.

it doesn't matter what you do, you're always gonna hate it because it's something you 'have to do'. So, don't work doing something you love because you'll just end up hating it.

>wake up at 6
>leave for work at 7
>come home at 5-6
>play vidya for a while (or mostly just watch videos and 4chinz because tired)
>go to bed between 10 and 12
Repeat.

I make video games for a living and I love it, get cucked dude

A lot of bitter resentment and regret in this thread. There's a couple schools of thought that exist within the idea of 'work'.
>1. Grow up having no skills, work minimum wage / retail cuck job and end up hating it
>2. Be born into rich family, silver spoon it until you either get handed a job from mommy and daddy or be a trustfund newage hedonist with your family while never working. This tends to create feelings of emptiness, as these people when they get older tend to realize they have no personalities, hobbies, ambitions, have created nothing of worth, have no passion about anything
>3. Be a NEET, be that either leeching off your family who might inevitably hate you for it, or autismbux by either lying to the government for money or having a legitimate reason to get government money. These people do not tend to lead fulfilling lives either, as the first group will burden their family until they either die or kick them out, and the second group will never be in a position to find fulfilment, passion, ambition, or have the resources to start a family
>4. Work a job that you tolerate/hate/pays well but you don't enjoy, and enjoy your time off with hobbies, travel, family, other interests. This is the category I think most people fall into. They either took the STEM pill and fell for the meme of working a secure job that might pay well but they hate in earnest, or fell into a job that pays enough and got complacent.
>5. Work a job you love, get paid shit money. This is a strange group. Usually found in the film industry, game industry, art industry, food industry. The job itself is enough for these people in comparison to the shit pay they get, because they think it's 'cool' or 'glamorous'.
>6. Work a job you love, get paid a lot. The ultimate goal, obtainable by most everyone, yet most people never get this far. Requires developing a skill in which you're passionate, and putting in the work to climb the ranks. Might require luck, most often not.

>obtainable by most everyone
what about any given african born in the jungle?

what games have you made?

I have like 8 hours free every day after work, I don't know what everyone else is doing if they have trouble fitting time for games in there

Well then I have some bad news. Although the idea of 'work' sort of revolves around being born into a culture where you are required or expected to do that. In Africa, I'm sure the culture and ideas of success and accomplishment are a little different. That being said, I have seen some stories of native Africans making their own games / getting a work visa and coming over to the US. You just gotta be exposed to the right things / be born into a family unit or upbringing circle that doesnt turn you into a total retard

Some bad platformers that are no longer public, a couple of coom games. Right now working on a puzzle game as well as a side scroller beat em up.

they go out with their gfs and having sex.

Fallout New Vegas > Sex

I play videogames after I come home from work.

>8 hours after work
>the drive home takes half an hour
>the walk to the apartment takes 10 minutes
>getting settled in an change out of work clothes takes another 20 minutes
>take an hour cooking and eating dinner
>take another hour to go workout to upkeep health
>drive to the gym takes a half hour
>drive back to the gym takes another half hour
>the shower after the gym takes another half an hour
>interacting with the girlfriend because you need to spend time with her takes an hour
>grocery shopping takes an hour
>drive there and back takes another hour
>putting away the groceries take another half an hour
>doing the laundry takes another half an hour
>feel too lazy to turn on the PC and play something so just spend the rest of the night watching 2 or 3 episodes of a show

it's very easy to waste 8 hours without thinking about it

And some concept art from an unfinished project.

My man.

I just game on the weekends

this was my life in 2018. I'd come home at 4, eat lunch and maybe sleep for an hour. a cup of coffee and a couple of hours of gaming in the afternoon was the highlight of the day. miserable period.

Nice commute urban nigger, There is no way for me to commute to any job i have or could have and have it take any longer than a half-hour.

Also, 8am - 4pm is superior to 9am - 5pm

I steamlink on my phone during my break.

>like making home movies and videos since I was a kid
>do video production in middle school, high school, and study it in college (no name university)
>get a job in video production at an ad agency immediately after graduating, despite retards telling me there is no point in pursuing liberal arts degrees
>making decent money with upward mobility of creative director/post production supervisor/creative producer, all while doing something I am passionate about and love

Why doesn't everyone do this

Work from home

What do you do differently now?

some people have no passion about anything.

Me.

I quit my job and squat in someone's basement. he's got free wifi, it's cool.

Most people suffer under the American education system. Passion doesn't come out of nowhere, people need to be exposed to things.

How? You're probably exposed to thousands of potential avenues as a child, surely everyone has to have at least AT LEAST a FEW things that mildly interest them. You could even give a shit about it in your 30's or 40's starting from 0, hell, my father just took up owning a business for the first time and he's 55

not everyone is american.

passion is eventually crushed, you can't hate a job you go into already hating

Not gonna lie, I was expecting some uplifting anecdote about getting a better job with work life balance

fpbp

C&H haven't been funny in 10 years.

>be child
>parents have no passiosn outside of sportsball
>absorb normie media
>watch transformers as popcorn entertainment, don't take it seriously
>play COD multiplayer because its the only things your friends do, don't take it seriously
>education is not a gauranteed path to success, don't take it seriously
>no one at your job takes it seriously, don't take it seriously
>an entire life just consooming and distracting yourself from mediocrity
You can shove a perfect work of art in front of these people but they've long been blinded by trained apathy.

I play video games while doing cardio.

It's not ideal but it's the best way I've found to combine my time.

speak for yourself you projecting retard, some people actually put in the work to put them into a position where they don't hate work and be employed in an environment that nurtures curiosity, growth, exploration, and celebrates achievement. In fact, I'd ager most people in this thread that hate their jobs are simply because they hate the people that they work with. I worked at a retail pharmacy for 4 years during school and loved every second of it because the people I worked with were so enjoyable, basically a second family. Had I been a man of lesser aspiration and motivated, I would have had no problem staying there and moving up.

My commute is 30 minutes.

Union and work for a railroad.

When I finish building a train I go home and in my collective agreement it says im paid 8 hours no matter what. I have not worked over 5 hours in 5 years

This post will make kikes and bootlickers seeth

I dunno what else to say other than congrats, dude.

in 2019 I got a job that didn't drain me psychologically and I could change from morning shift to evening shift and vice versa each week, which made it less of a routine. also this job was at a nicer part of the country and I was living close to the beach and would go swimming regularly.
this is the job I would be doing this year but it got fucked thanks to the 'rona so now I'm unemployed.

Has nothing to do with that, people who have a passion for something often do so because they have some sort of skill or mastery over it, turns out that isn't common for most kids to have.

I have a cushy state agency job. Thanks to corona I get to work from home. Which means I have to work 2-3 hours per day to perform better than average. The rest of the day I spend playing Mordhau and touching my work mouse every 5 mins so I look active.
I can take 1,5 hour lunch breaks and work out or play with my kids. GOOD STUFF!
For this I get 3.000 euros per month.
