But seriously, what the hell are these people doing to stay alive? Last I checked, you need income to pay the bills that power the video games...

Life is pretty cheap and there’s no sense in saving for retirement because they’re gonna give us the canada shot at 60

The essentials are at least 2,500/month. Where is the money coming from with no job?

Don't they have bills? I just don't understand how someone can support themselves without some sort of income. Surely they can't get paid enough just for sitting on their asses, right?


The majority of them probably live with their parents and have very limited bills.

Guilty. But to my credit, my hand was forced into this position thanks to layoffs and I have been actively interviewing to get out of this situation

As part of millenial reparations the government should give us food stamps and welfare

And possibly our own country

Awesome. So more work for us that have spent 20 years in the workforce.

This country has lost its fricking mind.

I was gonna ask how someone could spend so much time playing video games...


Then I looked at my post count.



Try managing both... And a job.

I hear Zombie John Madden laughing from here too.

Base games can be affordable if you are playing solo or couch co op.

Online play? Expansions? Point cards? All that shite gets expensive depending on the title and a lot of it is necessary if you are into competitive play.

spend about seven hours a day playing video games


At this point can even say you’re living?

Instead it looks like you’re just passing the time being distracted from the complete emptiness and meaningless of your useless existence before you finally die.
