You ever actually spent most of your time just playing video games? It gets old real quick.

Having one thing be your only hobby will get boring for the majority of people, so just have some extra hobbies. I could definitely spend 75% of my time gaming and the rest on other hobbies and feel great.

Legit though, it isn't as cool as its cracked up to be.

Idk I've been unemployed with enough savings to not go straight into job hunting. I had a blast spending most of my time gaming. Just helps to have a few other smaller hobbies.

Yah, that's fun. But that's also short term. Long term, you end up having to find stuff to do more than just drift.

Agreed, I took about 10 months off after quitting my last job, and ended up moving about 4 months into it. I never got bored and the only downside was that I had to find a job eventually. It was the best 10 months I can remember.

Yep, I imagine it'd get bad if I let myself rot in my room all day. I spent time with family, worked out, went for walks, watched some new shows and movies, read some manga, did some hobby projects, but I still spent more time gaming than anything else. It was awesome

It's great for the first few weeks , maybe a month or two.

I graduated in September, job searched through December, finally signed a contract, but I don't start until April. I am counting down the fucking days, my dude.

Just plug my old ass into the matrix. If I live to see 80 we'll probably have some kind of full dive VR by that point. Or at least something approaching it.

We will but the interface used to full dive will be used to influence your thoughts and getting you to buy stuff

Ahh, sorry, I assumed living in 1st world country where there are medical procedures to remove them (one of the most common procedures in medicine). The procedure is free where I live.
