For those of you that aren't NEETs, when was the last time

Took a vacation to play GTA V.

What a waste

I never have.

I'll probably take the week off for Bannerlord, I might even die in my chair.

>>389548846

Honesty? Never. I thought about taking a day off for the upcoming Destiny 2 release, but I doubt I will. I just don't see the point. I'll play when I get home after work. I work 8-3 so it isn't even late in the day when I would get to start.

>>389548846
>self improvement
Sitting in your house all day shitposting does nothing positive.

I never take time off purely to play videogames. I do play when not at work, but usually booked time off is wanted for something else, like going away. I've got plenty of time for vidya already.

>>389548846
I have never taken time off for a video game and I rarely if ever get sick. Saying that I had my two weeks of at the halfway of August, I sure enough did spend it playing video games.

>>389549078
I was neet for six months and I went stir crazy by the fourth. My free time meant nothing, so that's exactly what I spent all day doing.

Taking vacation for MHWorld. Going to get paid to play MH


Can't fucking wait

It's been years since I've taken time off for the Vidya. The last time was Demon's Souls, took an entire week off and had a fucking blast.

I will be taking a week off for Monster Hunter World, once the date is announced. I can't wait for that game to ruin/absorb my life.

>>389549250
And it sounds like you have a job or are doing something now, right? Can't really call you a NEET.

>>389549691
Oh, yeah. I'm not claiming to be neet now. Just relating my experience as one previously and why it was terrible.

>>389548846
Does E3 count? If not then the Dark Souls 3 release.

>>389548846
I took two days off for DaS 3, but I would have done so anyway.

>>389549250
>six months
That's just a taste anon. Post when it's been several years

My two weeks start Monday, wanna play TW:W, XCOM 2 and the new Dishonored expansion. I'll mix it up with some books and walks. Anything else I should try?

Never, cause that's pretty irresponsible. Unless you're actually on vacation or just have no life whatsoever (in which case congrats, you're half-NEET anyway).
Learn proper time management and you won't feel so starved that you have to take time off work to play vidya. Simple.

>>389550169
Read the fucking thread

>>389550109
I'd kill myself by the end of the first year. I'm sorry for everyone trapped in that situation.

The last time I took one day off(exclusively for vg) was when UR MR GAY came out. I used to skip classes in college if I was too high though.

>>389550385

One year and still going, I work from home and go outside pretty often though, don't know if that counts.

>>389550596

Nier Automata. But I only work 4 hours a day, pay rent, get food, and buy whisky and a videogame every week with some money left to go into savings for a nicer place. I don't really need to take time off most of the time.

Given my line of work, I can usually take some days to "work from home". Last time I did that, I did it to go play Fire Emblem Echoes, probably might do the same for a few games coming out soon.

I couldn't stand being NEET for a year,
after getting a job, my motivation for playing games went to shit and after I got a job, I was beating games left and right.

>>389548846
Working tow jobs ERRYDAY with no days off since December, finally ending this massacre, taking 2 weeks off of every work, then im changing job for only one on the weekends.

Im kinda at loss since i still don't know what i'll do with all that free time. Ill probably just lay down and look at the ceiling on the first day to absorb all the piece and quiet.

SAVAGE

>>389548846
I always think I'll play some vidya in my weekends off but I never end up doing so and instead watch anime because it uses less energy. Then sometimes I can't be bothered watching 20 minute anime so I spend more time sleeping. I'd say spending my time off sleeping makes me feel the happiest when I wake up and have to do stuff around the house.

>>389548846
1 Friday for Switch/BOTW release
It was pretty cool. The game only got stale after 20 hours or so.

>>389548846
I've never done that. There hasn't been a game worth taking time off for since I started working.

I took a personal day on Persona 5's launch. I get personal days and other benefits because I am in a union.

If you are to become a wage slave, do not take a job that does not allow you to unionize.

>>389551870
Yeah, but I can afford good beer.

>>389548995
You'll never have to take the week off.

>>389552575

Damn that sucks dude

>>389552575
>do not take a job that does not allow you to unionize
Dunno, I've been working for 5 years now and never felt the need to be in an union. Not that my company of 50 people has one.
Still, I get the usual 25 days paid vacation plus 3 sickdays.

Quite the opposite. I was a NEET for 9 months and it was the darkest, most miserable time of my whole existence.
On topic, I took days off to play Bloodborne. It was worth it.

>all these anons saying NEET life was shit and that they were going mad
What the fuck happened? I thought NEET life was the best?

>>389554310


You were meemed.

All the big releases were on friday so no reason to get time off. Enough of time to try the game throughout the weekend.

>>389554310
They say they were going mad, meaning they were NEETs, meaning they are wagecucks now. They're just spouting bullshit to justify their shitty decision.

>>389554310
It depends on what kind of person you are. Personally I found the lack of purpose just drained any motivation I had, it was one of the few times I found vidya boring.

This, even when I'm working six day workweeks in the summer I've never said "you know what spending three to five days playing Yakuza 6 would be sick I'll ask for that time off." Sometimes I get the day off when something new drops, sometimes I'll call out sick to play video games on a whim, but actual video game "vacations?" Why would anyone do that

>>389554008
This is the problem with NEETdom. Sure, you could self improve, but what's the point? No one's going to notice if you look like Hercules but never leave your home. Everyone needs purpose and order in their lives. It's a terrible existence just to drift from day to day with no direction or anything to work towards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_sink

Never.

My brothers and cousin always take a week off when there's a new WoW expansion, but I got a fiancee, so using my vacation week to sit on my ass and play single-player vidya is asking for trouble. I'd play with her, but her can't run shit.

>>389555563
Thank you for the masterclass in how to think only in hyperbole.

For one game specifically, last time was when WoW launched. I do take weeks off to just fuck around and play non-specific games every now and then though.

I'm gonna take a little off in late October for Super Mario Odyssey and Wolfenstein 2.

>>389548846
Took my vacation to play FFXV And I enjoyed every moment of it.
My vacation this year starts October 27, so I'll get to play Mario Odyssey. AC Origins, Wolfenstein 2, Sonic Forces, COD WWII and Battlefront 2 in peace, I was also hyped to play Ni No Kuni 2 but it was delayed.

I've got half a week of holiday left this year and I'm probably going to take it when EO5 releases just because I have nothing else to use it on and my job doesn't pay us for holiday time we don't use.
Now I just need a fucking EU release date. I should probably just book a few days in November, ATLUS hates us and it'll probably come out next year.

>>389548846
I'll take a week off when Camelot Unchained comes out. I don't even care.

>tfw you have a good job with short bursts of high responsibility work and most of the day off

I get about a day and a half every two weeks. I'll usually take 2 days off a month and play some shit, still allows me to bank days for a proper vacation.

Can't help but feel that a cruise or something is a waste of money compared to upgrading my computer, though.

>>389556523
Why did you expect it to be a blast?

I get 35 days of holiday a year and can work from home (consultant at one of the Big 4) so I've never really needed to

>>389548846
Dead in two months

>>389557404
Because of bullshit like OP's image romanticizing directionlessness and stagnation.

>>389548846
>hen was the last time you took time off work for a video game
Fucking never?

I have 28 days of paid leave per year. I'm sure as hell I'm not going to waste even a single one on something I can do after work and during weekends and holidays.
Especially since I spend from 15 to 20 on sailing alone.

>>389550791
In my case, disability check+income tax which thanks to good budgeting, I have lots of extra cash after rent and food.

>>389559151
>I barely spend money anyway, so I can manage on welfere

>>389552984
>3 sick days
a year? What the fuck.

Here it's 10 sick days a year (accumulating if not used) as the absolute minimum standard, assuming typical working week hours.

>>389555010
>why would anyone do that?
what else am I going to use my vacation hours on? My other past times such as reading, going for a walk every now and then and occasionally watching anime?

I'll probably take 5 work days off (which'll result in 9 days away from work) for Monster Hunter: World, don't think anything else worth it is releasing sooner.

>>389548995

Oh wait, I see a few wageslaves in the thread. Tut tut tut what are you doing on 4chan? Get back to work. Mr. Shekelstein isn't going to be happy.
And me? Well I'll be ordering a pizza and playing vidya of course. I'm glad your hard work pays for my NEETbux.
Remember wagie, another day another dollar.

>>389560906
don't forget to put aside some of your autismbux so you can afford that exit bag :^)

Took two weeks recently to grind the weekly ladder in Xenoverse 2.
First place wasn't an option because that always goes to win traders but I wanted to see how high I could get.

Neets aren't worth trying to reason with. They run on insecurity and delusion. If they didn't tell themselves they loved their meaningless existence, they'd have to acknowledge how little they actually have.

How do you guys get to be NEETs? How do you get on the bux to pay rent and buy vidya?

I don't. My working schedule is all over the place so I can usually find time for vidya without taking off days. If anything I've been looking for more and consistent working hours.

>Have job that I don't like and pays like shit
>Makes me depressed
>Start studying web dev
>Little free time, even more tired
>Can't enjoy vidya because I keep thinking that I should be studying instead
>Get tired again

I'm just trying to break the cycle.

And on top of that it won't take long for me to awake my wizard powers, which makes me even more anxious about the whole thing.

>>389555047

I'm unhappy at work, and I would probably be unhappy being a NEET too because that's how I am.

So really, I don't give a fuck anymore.

I'm more of a modern hikikomori than a neet because I do occasionally have to do some low effort jobs, so I don't really need to take time off work.
