How much time do you spend on playing vidya per week?

Everyone here always shittalks people for not playing enough games but do (You) actually play a lot of games or just post about them?

Reminder: the difference between casual and hardcore is not what you play but how much you play!

I barely play games anymore, and really only do so for testing and hacking purposes. I only have the most basic understanding of ASM, so reprogramming games is beyond my reach, but other stuff is doable for me. All it takes is free time, and the desperate need to stay distracted from unproductive thinking.

Around 34 hours a week when I'm working full time. When I'm between jobs, much much more.

>Reminder: the difference between casual and hardcore is not what you play but how much you play!

If that's true, then every old lady playing Words With Friends and Candy Crush on her phone all day is hardcore.

"Full time" in college has to do with the number of credits you're taking.


e7e345  No.15391423

>>15391231

8 hours of work is considered full time for a job.

15 credits is considered full time at most colleges.

15 credits is generally 5 classes.

Classes most likely have to meet 3 hours a week.

If structured to even out, 3 hour long ones on MWF and 2 75 minute courses on TuTh.

So anon, above is working a full job and doing all associated class work. Meaning he obligated to be at some place for 11 hours plus travel time. The go home and do his homework. So I would estimate from when anon wakes up, takes an hour to get out the door (wake up, dress, breakfast, S/S/S, etc.) Lets say 45 minutes to get somewhere 10 miles away with non-city traffic and then 8 hours job. After clocking out, another 30 minutes to go to a campus, park, and walk to the building followed by 3 hours class. 15 minutes home, then the roughly 2 hours of homework for all the days classes (should mention, each class in addition to meeting 3 hours a week, expects you to do 2 hours of work outside of class per week usually) and 30 minutes for dinner. That's a 16 hour active day. Better get 8 hours of sleep immediately if you want to be at your best tomorrow, goy! Of course if this extremely efficient schedule I pulled out of my ass were true, anon would have Saturday and Sunday free. Obviously this isn't the case because shit isn't that easy. The add in all the other things anon must do like shop for food, do those weird phone calls with relatives, around the apartment maintenance, etc.

Estimation:

Anon is very busy.

Depends on what's going on, but generally I'll game every day for at least a few hours, and if I have a game that really pulls me in then I'll drop everything and play all day. Mind you most of the time not spent playing is spent coding or doing other GameDev related tasks so I'd say I'm pretty hardcore on time devotion.

>Reminder: the difference between casual and hardcore is not what you play but how much you play!

It's a bit of both really, but it's worth noting that even hardcore games can be beaten casually, just look at all the games DSP has beat playing like a blindfolded retard. He's also a good example of how time dedicated doesn't make you hardcore, played hours of many games but only really plays fighting games with any skill (and even then it's not deep skill). I'd say it's less about how much you play, and what you play, and more about your skill level which will usually be shaped by how much and what you play. Time dedicated without developing skill is what really separates out casuals and hardcores imo.

About 6-7 hours per day with 8-9 hours of sleep. I usually finish up my schoolwork in between classes, if I need more time to work or study I have loads of spare time.

I fear that I won't have enough time to play vidya once I graduate and get a job. Somebody out there please tell me this isn't the case.

I find it hard to play video games during the week nowadays. I just have no energy. Then the weekend comes by and sometimes I can get into something, sometimes I cannot. If I start a game and get hooked, I will usually play consistently until I beat it. I wish I could stay home all day so I would have time to get hooked on vidya again.

>>15392243

I randomly went offline for about a year and made people think the same thing, so there is hope for your friend yet. Maybe he is trying to change things for the better or catching up on animus.

only a few hours a week outside of binges when my life falls apart. recently i've been experimenting with 90 second micro breaks to more effectively grind out execution during the course of the week so that i can focus on playing matches when the weekend rolls around & there's actually time for vidya and people to fight.

I have a full time job and have time for vidya and independent learning stuff. This is a normal 40 hour work week with very very rare overtime, so your results could vary, but it isn't too bad. I also live alone with no social life so all non-work time is free time. The "no time for vidya" meme is likely from people having jobs they hate that suck their souls out, and poor diet/exercise that leaves them with no energy. Take care of yourself, find a job you like, and you'll have the time.

I'm not counting, but I'd say a good 6-8 hours a day of vidya since I'm a NEET. I feel like this is my last month though, since money is fucking running out. Maybe I'll work for a month for a buffer and then go back to NEETing. Probably not though.

It does kind of suck, because since I've been NEET for quite a while I've become rather attached to all the free time I have to do whatever the fuck. Having to work a shitty job you don't like with only a few hours of free time to eat etc. before having to sleep if you don't want to wake up a ghoul and having the nagging feeling that you can't do what you want isn't fun.

I fear even if I found a job I did enjoy I would still feel bad for not having as much time to do what I want

These banks have insurance on their debts anyway. So theoretically if you don't pay anything for 4 or so years the banks get insured for it. Now they already have their money but they're going to keep asking for it. Unless you can pay for someone to audit the loan and prove the bank got their insurance payout you don't to pay a cent. Other wise, you can settle for paying back %40 or less of the loan and they will gladly accept it like Sam said.

Whatever you say.

Anyway, it varies, but it's usually about 2-4 hours per day. I don't have much of a life outside of work, so I COULD be playing 8 hours every day (more on Mon/Tue which is my "weekend"), but I have severe ADD. Sometimes I play a game for less than half an hour and then get bored and do something else.

About 15-25. 1 hour each weekday, 10 hours on each off day but interspersed with internet so hard to give an exact count. Work consumes about 12.5 hours per day including travel time.

This isn't true. I've played fighting games with people who've "played all their lives" who suck, even after knowing em for half a decade they still suck. Some other players I encounter only started playing fighting games recently and get really good in a few months.
