I honestly don’t see how the average working class adult find that time. I feel like gaming is a luxury for rich/middle-class teens.

    1. Cook at home and eat healthy
    2. Sleep enough hours every night
    3. Cultivate and maintain healthy non-familial relationships
    4. spend meaningful amounts of quality time with family
    5. Work at a full-time job 40+ hrs a week
    6. Play video games or engage in other hobbies

    Choose 3

    You cannot effectively do the rest.

    I do 4, 5, & 6.

    I slept 3 hours last night and have an embarrassing number of Uber Eats deliveries each month… but on the bright side I count the video game time sometimes as “cultivating healthy relationships” when I can get ahold of my fellow gaming dads who don’t go to bed until after 1am… 🫩🥱

      If you don’t get the full 40 a lot of stuff fits.

      I’m my case my job is both creative and technical so I sometimes need to just let stuff marinate in my head. I can feed my chess hobby or cook during that time. I’ve got 2 kids under 5 so after 5p it’s parenting only until they go to bed.

      Edit: notably there is still no time for video games
