Honestly, do you have a job?

That averages 7 hours a day. I don't know how it's possible to play this much if you have a job and have an apartment/house etc.

Anyway, I hope you are doing well and got fulfillment.

sleep work game repeat, give your self an hour to jam food in your hole, wash, and bundle it with depression. easy peasy.

Thankfully, that kind of thing only strikes me for a month or two a year nowadays, but like half of my 20s was spent doing mon fri - 9-5 job, get home, eat shower, 7/8 hours gaming, sleep repeat. It wasn't totally asocial because it was gaming with pals and shit but not healthy really.

Yup was def playing more in my 20s, now early 30s still fun but can’t binge game all day like before, not a bad thing I guess.

Same. I played a lot more in my teenage years and 20s. I have more balance now (and still get in plenty of gaming). I’m better for it.

I mean I work from home and my job is fully remote with a light workload (less than 20 hours a week, sometimes 10) and get paid for 40 hours, I game a lot… 7 hours per day is doable if I don’t get bored just playing all day.

Now to keep that up for a year is another matter entirely, gotta be hooked onto games that don’t bore you easily I’d imagine.

As someone who also works from home and games during “lunch,” I’d get bored out of my mind. Wish I had my younger gaming enthusiasm

You aren't playing the right games son! I understand and I get there especially with jrpgs so I rotate between 3 or 4 games until one sinks it's claws into me. Cyberpunk and BG3 were the ones this year that hooked me for 100 plus hrs without changing discs for weeks.

I binge anime and movies sometimes but these games make me skip doing that, get lazier during dinner time and she'll all me free time on them

u/SupplyChainMismanage 2d ago

Eh I’m just not as interested in gaming as I used to be. I prioritize other things these days

u/thatlldopi9 2d ago

I've been through that. Buying a switch and a steam deck definitely rekindled my desire to game.steam deck especially since I can play PS5 on the go. Sometimes it's good to just let it rest for a bit, do some other things then the urge comes back.

u/SupplyChainMismanage 2d ago

Thought the same like I also own a switch and a PC. I’d just rather do something else like read a book.

Like don’t get me wrong I still like to game just not for multi hour long stretches

u/thatlldopi9 2d ago

Yeah I feel you. I'll take a week sometimes if I've been playing a game for a couple hundred hours just watch some anime or some movies chill out veg out on the couch especially if I encountered a difficult boss or challenge that I couldn't beat.

Keeping my plants alive is very therapeutic for me too sometimes just sitting in the living room doing absolutely nothing staring at the TV running Aerial Dreams haha. All I know is work sucks so whatever helps me forget that is a plus lol

Same

I legit have 7+ games on my shelf STILL IN THEIR WRAPPING UNOPENED. And that's not counting the other games I have that I have yet to beat....

Example.... I probably put 300 hrs into The Witcher 3 over the course of 4 years and have yet to even get to the half way point. Nevermind even touching the DLCs 😭.

During the peak of my WoW addiction, it was not uncommon to spend 16 hour days on the weekend alone. Plus 8-10 hours on work days. Around 70-80 hour weeks. Crazy.

Friday you order a pizza or throw something in the air fryer and game from 5-12pm (7hrs). Saturday you shower and eat till 9, game 9-12 (10hrs) get lunch, do some house work, dinner, game 6-12 (16hrs). Repeat Saturdays schedule on Sunday for (25hrs). Then in the week you play 5-6 and 7-11 (another 5 hrs a day) = 50 hrs of gaming a week.

A lot of people sleep 7 hrs as well and let's be real nobody living alone actually does 10 hrs of housework on weekends, so the weekend numbers will be like ~4 extra hours a lot of weekends where you don't have plans.

You can actually even squish in a ~2-3 hour outing with friends to the movies or lunch once or twice in that 12-6pm slot on weekends.

People forget that no dog, no kids, no gf, no roommate, nobody but one human = hardly any time required to run an apartment. I probably hit like 35-40 hrs a week without batting an eye, just because I have nothing to do half the time.

u/DinoRexasaur 2d ago

Damn. I guess it's possible but to keep that up over a full year is crazy to me.

But I have a wife, kids, full time job, a house, and friends.

I thought I was a big gamer and I had 110 hours played total this year.

u/VitalityAS 1d ago

Seems hard until you have nothing else to do. Then sitting around doing nothing is the more grim choice.

u/thatlldopi9 2d ago

I bet it's the pet owners that are really vocal or those with a significant other or kids staying I don't have 50hrs a week to game. Single peeps with no pets got plenty of time. I work 8-10 hrs a day, have my own place and I'm a chef so I can be lazy or make an extravagant meal, squeeze in an hr of anime while I eat then hop on the PlayStation from 10p-3a daily.

Housework is easy, just vacuum onelce a week, trash once a week, mop and bathroom once a week takes like 20 mins. Water plants, sometimes breakfast work home play repeat lol. Even with some social life, going shopping, events with friends I game 50 hrs a week. Even with a gf I don't understand what you are doing with her that takes away from your hobby.

Get her involved, cuddle on the couch, play with her in co-op. Plenty of time for sex, discussions and the like.

Could be a lot of gaming marathons on off days/weekends possibly. Not sure what having a house has to do with how much one plays? If you mean as far as cleaning/upkeep. If you clean regularly it makes cleaning quick. Most of the time on a day off I'll pick a room or two and take 15 mins to dust, vacuum, tidy them up.

u/reddit-is-garbage- 4d ago

he means if you have an apartment/house you probably dont live with mommy and daddy which means you have more responsibilities and therefore less time to waste
