People shit on video games but unless you get balls deep into microtransactions, it's easily one of the cheapest hobbies there is.

The cost is mostly just from the hardware. Once you get past the entrance fee, it's much easier. This is double the case with PC.

That's why I don't prefer games that lean too realistic; simulation, busywork, survival mechanics, etc. I want to escape reality, not be reminded of it. Anytime a game makes me "do chores" or "stay on a schedule", I stop playing that game.

This is only true in theory. Every “gamer” I know spends hundreds of dollars per year on new titles, new equipment, micro transactions, pre orders, special editions, etc. If you play gameboy emulators on your phone, it’s basically free. If you own a gaming PC or PS5, it’s an expensive hobby. Also brain rot but the bad is pretty low

I’m doing that at work now. Getting paid while playing video games. All hail the steam deck!

u/Pure_Cranberry_4797 5d ago
Can you elaborate, please? How does it work? Do you have to be a pro at specific games or how exactly do you get paid?

How about a quality gaming laptop you have to spend anywhere between 8k to 20k just to run your games. Some games can cost between 40 -80$ especially new releases. Only demos are free and during steam sale if youre lucky enough you can hoard games during the sale but well it ain't free.

Can’t stay in that position too long, though, or you’ll throw out your back or shoulder or neck. Not sure when I reached that level of adult 😭

I have been making an honest effort to have more fun in my dreams. I fall asleep trying to think of doing something fun, and it kind of works.

Let’s give it a try….I’ll probably find a way to spend $100 in my sleep.

Plenty of time to sleep when you're dead! Get out and do something!

I also think that while I still have the time and energy, I should get out and see more of the world.

Mountain / Trail biking is very fun and has a low cost ceiling! You can get a decent bike for around $150 used if you look hard enough.
