Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Idk I've been unemployed with enough savings to not go straight into job hunting. I had a blast spending most of my time gaming. Just helps to have a few other smaller hobbies.

It's great for the first few weeks , maybe a month or two.
I graduated in September, job searched through December, finally signed a contract, but I don't start until April. I am counting down the fucking days, my dude.

You ever actually spent most of your time just playing video games? It gets old real quick.
Having one thing be your only hobby will get boring for the majority of people, so just have some extra hobbies. I could definitely spend 75% of my time gaming and the rest on other hobbies and feel great.

Finally, I will get to finish my backlog
Lies, you'll keep buying new games every fall steam sale
Just plug my old ass into the matrix. If I live to see 80 we'll probably have some kind of full dive VR by that point. Or at least something approaching it.

If you retire with no SS, medicare, an insurance that is required to cover you, medicaid to keep the doors open for even a retirement home to care for you, and your 401K is destroyed from the plunging depression that's on the rise... it might be cool to worry a bit.
Until you start playing an MMO and turn it to a new job.
