Fuck right off

You should go to a sleep clinic to make sure you are breathing correctly or don't have some issue while sleeping and to determine how much sleep you actually need.

That's seven and a half hours, plenty of sleep time for most people.

>>382688209

I have a job, gf, and my own place but still find time to game. I stopped socializing with groups in my 20s though since most people just kind of move on with their lives and start a family. Id rather game than be in a softball league with a bunch of depressing 30 somethings.

>he fell for the normie lifestyle meme

>>382690190
>wake up at 5am and goes to bed at 10pm, but probably actually doesn't fall asleep till 11pm

you know how unhealthy that is?

What is the draw of the normie life anyways?

>>382692384
It shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes to fall asleep, if it does you probably have problems.

Please read here for more:

>>382690734

Unless you are a child 7 - 8 hours is plenty for you. If it takes you an hour to sleep it's likely you sleep too much.

>>382692384
Napoleon once said that a woman sleeps 8 hours, a fool 7 and a man 6. I mostly get 4 or 3 hours of sleep everyday, I manage.

>>382693062
There's pros and cons.
Vapidity and ignorance are cons, but social interaction and distraction from unpleasantries of life are pros.

>>382694054
You can get social interaction without going full normie though. And if anything being a normie will just give you more pleasantries.

>>382689501
Same situation. I have lots of money now but no friends and nobody to go on vacation with

>>382694191
Meant more unpleasantries. My bad.

>>382689501
Listen to other people do it, repeat. Ez shit

>>382692384
You're a child. I sleep from 12 to 6 and do fine

>>382688209
I never played video games as an escape and I find I enjoy them more when they're part of a balanced lifestyle instead of an 8 hours a day thing.

>>382694013
I like this, but 4-3 hours is a little short for your health I believe.

>>382692384

It's actually recommended you get between 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 hours of sleep a night. Anything more than that is actually bad for you.

>>382694447
I know. But everyone in the military are on very little sleep. That's why our vending machines carry 8 different energy drinks.

>>382688209
I'm also a normie. I go to uni every day and work a part time job on the side. It's actually great though, I feel like I appreciate the hours I do get to play much more than I would otherwise. Nothing like studying hard, nailing a test then taking a few days off to relax and play vidya.

>>382694580
>military
I'm sorry anon

>>382694196
>not going to Thailand by your lonesome for the ultimate no-distraction whoremonger rampage that will leave your nutsack drier than a desert for half a year
Git gud.

Or just visit all the cool niche landmarks shit you want to do and friends don't and meet interesting people along the way. Vacationing by yourself is actually really liberating.

>>382694191
What I meant was that you'd fill the void of free time with social distraction, sports, shopping, generic hollywood movies, etc. As opposed to playing games after work.

And gaining unpleasantries of life are relative I guess.

How old is too old?

>>382694626
I personally got burnt out of this lifestyle while in college very quickly because I did it for 4 years in highschool (replace job with sports).

I am 31 and almost everytime I post my age all the kids get buttblasted and start saying "leave grampa".
I have money to not need to work and I still can afford vidyas and every other basic thing.
>inb4 enjoy your neetbux
No such a thing in my country.

>>382694580

Depends on what your job is. I'm a militarybro too and work 12 hour shifts 4 days a week and still get an average of 7 hours of sleep a night.

>get up at 0600, 0530 if I plan to hit the gym or do morning PT
>Have to be in by 0700
>get off at 1900
>go home, cook, shower, play some vidya
>usually in bed by 2200

Sometimes have to leave a little later if we have something going on but generally my schedule is pretty consistent.

>>382688209
Me too man... I still play games an hour or three a week and I check /v/ while I'm taking a shit. It's better bro, seriously.

>>382694984
Branch?

I'm a corpsman so naturally we don't have a set schedule like that it varies from 10-15 hours.

Watch is also a bitch.

>>382689501
You can do it anon, you're just being stubborn. Thing about it in vidya terms. If you can't make small talk you'll fail the quest. The quest is life. You'd do it for a fucking paladin shield.

So much free time to beat vidyas, yet you know that there aren't enough good vidyas out there to last for a lifetime, so you take your time to finish them.

>>382694727
t. Lonely guy

>>382695221

Chair Force. 2T251.

The only reason we're on 12 hour shifts is because our section is pretty undermanned and since we deal with any and all aircraft coming into/leaving the base, it's a 24/7 job so someone has to be on shift at all times.

>can't tell if the video game industry is actually getting worse every year or if I'm just a bitter adult who directs his frustrations at video games

>>382689501
Get a shitty retail job. It will force you to talk to customers and you'll get fired if you dont do it right. You'll never get over the anxiety but you'll learn how to conversate with people

>>382688209

I'm 31 and still look 24 and feel 21.

Fucking college girls aged 18-21 keeps me youthful feeling and looking; it's their innocence, beauty and youth...it sustains me.

>>382695878
It is getting worse.
I have had the chance to get some kids to play old vidya and they still like it.

>>382688209
I have lots of free time, except I waste it posting on here instead of doing something constructive.

Yeah well Napoleon was also a manlet fag and made some stupid ass decisions, so that's not a guy I want advice from

>>382697259

This has actually been disproven

So dumb as a rock then. Glad to know.

>>382696112
tell me your secrets anon. where do you meet them?

>>382688209
yeah man, iktf
I'm only fucking 21 too. It feels like I made the jump too soon. I should be enjoying my youth, not working full time

>>382697259
He was a fantastic general, strategist, and politician. As well as disproven to be short for the era.

Literally the only reason he was defeated was that he lived, fought and ruled so successfully that books were written about him and his wartime strategies and the Duke of Wellington learned these and countered during one of the wars of the Coalition, aka Waterloo.

26 here, studying. Full time work is about 6 months away. I am so worried about turning full normie and losing my social life. I don't know how the fuck people can add kids into this mix.

>>382689501
Do a hobby after work in a group setting. e.g. dancing

Upskill social skill and you meet a lot of people who intend to go out to use that skill. Keep looking for a hobby you can share if one doesn't interest you. You can find deals on places like Groupon.

The last time I enjoyed video games and played them regularly was in high school. I've been a NEET for 5 years and have played maybe one game in that time, I give up on everything else after an hour or two at best. I have a theory that if I got a job with at least 40 hour work weeks I would feel like a kid again rediscovering vidya but I don't want to.

>>382689501
go to places where the things you're interested in are, i.e conventions, concerts, whatever

>>382699690
>I have a theory that if I got a job with at least 40 hour work weeks I would feel like a kid again rediscovering vidya but I don't want to.

No, you just won't have time for vidya anymore.

>>382700343
From age 6 to 18 I was in school for at least 6 hours a day, five days a week, 9 months out of the year. During this time I also loved and had fun with video games. The only logical explanation is that having free time is what's keeping me from enjoying vidya.

>>382688209
28 here. Hardly old but my life is pretty much all studies, work and training. I can't socialize outside of that, i haven't even tried to have sex in about 7 years.
I'm pretty happy though so that's nice.
