How do you guys allocate time for video games between work, family,

>wake up at 6am
>leave at 6:30 to go to work
>get to work by 8
>leave work at 4-5pm
>get home, have dinner at 6
>play vidya the rest of the night
>go to bed at 1-2am

That's basically been my life for the past 6 years. No friends, no family, weekends I just play games and eat. Exercise occasionally but not for long.

Heh.

I only play games that are short, like shmups, or can otherwise be played in short bursts but still enjoyed. Sometimes if I have more free time I can binge on an rpg or something. you just don't have as much time for entertainment as an adult, at least if you want to get something done. Stopping doing completely useless things like posting on imageboards helps the most though! You could be playing games as we speak, considering you have time to post here.

>other hobbies
>other
That's implying that vidya is a hobby.

You can't have it all, anon, you have to choose according to your own priorities.

You leave our girlfriend, get some more friend time in, you don't go to gym and play some more games, you skip on church to sleep longer, you cannot possibly hope to include everything in your life and not half-ass each activity.

You dont have to be from reddit to have friends or a girlfriend you autists.
i just go to work and get home at exactly 4 am and then i just start playing videogames with my friends. Things like going for dinner etc are done on weekends, works for me atleast

>>381541384
These days I play like 10 hours a week unless something I was hyping really hard comes up, in that case I play 10 hours a day.

I don't even care about videogames that much anymore.

>>381541946
I'm a friendless loser by nature.

>>381541384

>>381541384
>videogames, work, family, gym, church, girlfriend, travels, friends, sleep and other hobbies
reduce number of activities:

reduce time spent for some activities:
>work, friends, (sleep, other hobbies = shorter)
combine some activities:
>work + videogames (not always possible), friends + videogames, (sleep, other hobbies = shorter)

Remember if you don't have time for something it means you didn't make time.

>>381541384
I have no job because I haven't been able to land my first job for over 7 years, and I can't push myself to really work out.

My days consist of saying up until like 6-7 am, sleeping until the early afternoon, then fucking around until dinner and getting dessert later.

I'm currently at a crossroads where either my sister get's me a job at Walgreens, or I go on disability for the rest of my life.

Easiest fucking choice of all time. Once you go retail, you die.

Sleep 6 hours.

Work part time. (Receive SSI.)

Travel with dad. (He's stinking rich.)

Girlfriends may happen but only if I take care of myself (hygiene, excercise, etc.)

Meals are small but drink lots of eater. Meals are complex and cooked. Variety of greens, grains, meats, etc.

7 hour sleep
8 hour work
1.5 hours travelling (handheld gaming)
2 hours cleaning, showering, cooking, eating
1.5 hour studying
4 hour misc (games/tv-movies/socializing/shitposting)

Thats how my day is spent on weekdays I dont have classes.
When I have classes I dont really have much time to do misc stuff.
Weekends are easier because I dont work, that gives me an extra 8 hours to do more stuff, usually spent sleeping, shopping for the week, going out with friends and gaming.

I actually find it harder to do now that I'm not super busy. When I was working two jobs, studying and had a girlfriend, I had little trouble parsing out my time.

I find myself idling a lot lately. So anytime I don't feel like doing anything, I start reading one of the ten books I started.

Don't you get burnt out having so little time to yourself?

>>381544006
None of that will make your grown, and you'll probably lose pieces of yourself as you slowly die on the inside trying to do it.
Everything is working your way to a better or worse future, it's all relative though, and it's whatever makes you happy that makes the struggle worth it.
If you think you can do it, do it, otherwise just accept that it's all suicide in the end.

I was kinda with you up to there. I'm not suicidal, just goncerned for my future and what I should really be doing. Cashing in my Assburgers for Tax Payer Dollars, or attempt getting a life so I can feel like a decent human being.

>>381544915
You only need 6 to be functional, having 8 hours of sleep is just a thing that has been parroted over and over that it's now become common knowledge. It's like an old wives tale that ends up being completely fucking wrong.

>>381541615
>4-5 hours of sleep
how the fuck do you get through the day? are you more coffee than man?

>>381545116
I mean it more as it all leads to the same road, where you'll end up dying on the inside and probably end up something completely different than when you started.
But maybe that's myself just talking with what happened to me. You could be stronger.
I just want you to not get hurt if you decide to push yourself like that. Reality has just been such a letdown for me, is all.

>>381545142
Try lifting for 5-6 days a week and not sleeping at least for 8 hours.

>>381545142
Functional doesn't mean "don't feel like shit and in a good mood"

I'm a nurse I work 3 12hr shifts a week. Plenty of time to fit in gym and vidya. Even get time to get in dirt bike ride or two a week.

It's probably more of how you're waking up than the amount of time you're sleeping. If you wake yourself up from deep sleep with a blaring alarm even if you've gotten 8 hours of sleep, you're going to feel tired. If you oversleep like 10 hours you'll also feel tired. Immediately getting up, drinking water, and getting started being even mildly active will wake you up better as well.

Then there's other factors like how much caffeine you drink regularly that alter groggy-ness.

In the end though everyone is genetically wired differently for sleep, some people can operate fine on little sleep and others wish they were dead even after 7.5 hours. I stay up stupidly late every night and wish I could be alert and awake on low sleep but even if I get a full 8 hours I'm going to be crazy tired for at least 30 minutes after waking up then I'm okay.

>>381545187

>>now just constantly think about getting on welfare or autism dollars because fuck the world
>>just want to do the shit i enjoy, which isnt modern society
That kind of thinking is why I don't feel 100% about getting disability. I don't want to sound or feel like you.

>>381545559
I can't really tell you what to pick, I don't really know you as a person or a friend, but just remember this
It's all about the pursuit of happiness, not happiness itself. It's the journey, not the destination. Life will probably throw you so many curve balls that you'll end up playing football instead, and then you'll get tackled so many times you'll pick up basketball instead. You'll probably score a few baskets and think you found what you were good at, but then reality comes knocking, and next thing you know you're trying baseball again.
At the end of the day, you just need to make sure the loop you're stuck in, the everyday moment to moment shit, is something you'll be happy doing.

Just be careful you don't get an anal fissure or infection on your ass and eat plenty of fiber, I lived your live for years and not keeping proper diet led me to hospital and painful month of recovery

I wake up multiple times in the night to take a piss, then go back to bed. Sometimes I'll wake up an hour before I need to, and will just go back to sleep. This is where I'm fucking up, right? Other than that, I haven't paid much attention to my sleeping habits.

I don't do half of those things and I have no other hobbies and still don't have time for the games I like to play. It's a common issue with my girlfriend right now. The answer I found was altering my sleep schedule so that I spend at least a few hours a day awake while she sleeps. Also getting ~6 hours of sleep a night increased this window.

Her being unemployed really kills this plan because she is completely dependent on me to go anywhere.

Apparently there's "waves" of sleep you go through where you cycle through light sleep then to deep sleep, back to light sleep, then back to deep sleep etc. And if you wake up at the deep sleep phases you're super tired whereas if you wake up during light sleep you'll be energized and I'm pretty sure sleeping for just one hour or 30 minutes more will put you in the "waking up during deep sleep" zone. Light sleep peaks are like every 1.5 hours or so

I don't have a girlfriend. And I live several hundred km away from society, so I don't do any of that other shit either. I basically sit in a giant research station monitoring weather pasterns completely alone. I don't really have any real work to do, but you do need a degree in meteorology and understand basic engineering and electrical maintenance just in case.
I get resupplies every three months, and because my job is to monitor and stream data regularly, I get satellite internet.
Machines pretty much do everything, I just check it every couple hours or if it starts making noises. Other than that, I check in with home office every day.

I pretty much live NEET life. I go hunting every week too. Not really meant to, but it's nice to have some other hobbies. I got a friend at the station to send ammunition in the supply crates every time too.
I spend my days reading manga, watching anime, downloading and fapping to porn and playing vidya.

I find I have a hard time justifying playing games these days unless it's with other people or I'm to tired to do anything else. This saddens me. I've thus tried to incorporate vidya into my hobbies. I built a Portable Retropie station. Its a project and it's videogames. I could just start making games but I found I suck at it.
