I play pro Volleybal, study at the OU of England, and had a gf for 3,5y untill we broke up a month ago. I still game about 3-7h a day.
ChinaMike808
What if I told you that is pretty much simple ass shit; if a person can't do all those without freaking out, just die already.
meredithmoderate
Serious question: Once a gamer, always a gamer, or does it get old?
HalloIamherenow
I figured it all out except for the girlfriend part
WastedSkater
You just find a partner who wants to do those things with you. We actually started working out mornings so we can game at night
IHaveNoIdeaHowToBreathe
You can be a gamer. Not a good one tho.

As a married, father of 2 that works full time. It is possible.
Str8Grizleh
What kind of filthy casual do you take me for?!
amclonestar10
IMPOSSIBLE!!! The girlfriend will take over slowly.
NotThatOneTheOtherOne
Step One: Go to college, because that's the only way you're going to have an office job that lets you set your own hours.
nervesatme
bigb340
1. Put your so first. 2. Workout 3. Do your job. 4. Game when you have time. Works for me.
Golfbob
Sure, if you want to be a filthy casual.
WarrenBaity
Find a GF/wife that actually enjoys what you do or has a game or hobby that she wants to do while you game. It does work
LittleKnownOne
Sorry, she's out with 4-7 other dudes atm (6'3", w/lumberjack beards, muscles, money, etc)
Tylvian
I'm sorry you're in that situation?
LittleKnownOne
Not step 1 enough
Pubeythemagicarpetride
Im that wife. With a 10 month old. My husband likes games but not as much as me. I have to nag him to go to bed so I can play witcher until
Pubeythemagicarpetride
My eyes bleed haha
shedairyproduct
Marry a gamer.
FrecklesIRL
Hubs and I used to fight over how much time I spent gaming. He felt neglected :/
Pubeythemagicarpetride
Dude same. And all the great games are 1 player soooooooo.. i play while everyones sleeping haha
KangDOTA
Not if you play Dota...
tarrbot
Throw a kid or two in and add in management as the job and get back to me
BDBones
Preach my bruvah!!
BrownskinOriental
<---this guy. Manager position, 2 yo & 7 yo, wife, house. Job's demanding, kids are running around. 1 hour game time after everyone sleeps.
suretoast
He has his shit completely together. It's infuriating.
theyar
Four kids and corporate executive.
Tylvian
you've already basically ruined your life in my opinion but still "doable".
tarrbot
Whatever makes you happy makes me happy.
Mycologics
Hi. I have a job, an internship, school, a kid and a girlfriend I game in my off time when the kid goes to bed. Or together.
zeethenomad
I'm a gamer. I have a wife, 2 kids, and a teaching job. Not management... but i think it counts.
HadMeSomeChickens
Depends. What grade?
zeethenomad
Currently, I work one-on-one with autistic kids. I'll be switching over to HS Social Studies next year.
imdisneyprincess
Works well for my husband.
TalunRye
Kids are easy enough to work around and it's your choice on the job front.
clownbusiness
What?!? I have two kids under 3 years old. There is no "work around" with those monsters.
TalunRye
Babies spend half the time sleeping. 1-3 is hard work but past that they're in preschool and can be reasoned with.
clownbusiness
Ohhhhhhh, so you don't have children. That makes sense.
TalunRye
Two. I was a stay at home parent as well. So nice try. Maybe your just a shitty lazy parent.
suretoast
My boss has two kids, wife who also works full time and still games ~2 hours a day and goes to the gym, which is more than I manage single
tarrbot
He probably has his wife overworked taking care of the kids and house while his lazy ass plays games. Give it a few years and she'll move on
suretoast
Plus, a maid. He's a great husband, father, boss, friend. Who also games.
suretoast
Nope. Dude drives the kids to work every morning, makes their lunches, and frequently picks them up from school.
suretoast
He also drives them to birthday parties, soccer games, and the like on the weekends.
jbulldozer
Im back...now what do i do? Oh yea, the kid plays baseball and hockey too.
tarrbot
Did you want a medal or a chest to pin it on?
jbulldozer
Sure do since you seem to think its impossible...dick.
tarrbot
Not impossible but I have a policy to be dicks to smarmy and sarcastic folks online. Have a nice day and enjoy.
jbulldozer
Yea, your comment wasnt snarky or sarcastic at all lollll
bigboss6166
Me personally would try turning them into gamers to always have a p2 and p3.
imdisneyprincess
All 4 played Minecraft together at one point.
turbovagina
My husband is working on this. Oldest plays and our 3 yr old loves to just watch. Helps me out too!

Slow down a bit turbo
turbovagina
Oh, I am definitely finished.
DarthKael
Hell is Lego Batman with a 3 year old...
TalunRye
That's my son's current fave. He's five so pretty capable now and no longer needs my help every 2 seconds.
bigboss6166
Heh my girlfriend's youngest 3 at the time tried playing little big planet with me once I left demons souls running
bigboss6166
When i was out the room I came back and he was playing it, an still managed to kill things I was impressed.
queenbrochette
Fair. But your list casually leave out sleep.
NamesAreStupid
Being a gamer doesn't mean you have to spend 40 hours a week gaming. You're just going to be a casual, but at least you grey sex.
UmHowAboutAnonymous
there is always a sacrifice... Plenty of time to sleep when you're DEAD!
ElizabethSchultz
And success in any of those.
MephitmpH
Because sleep is for the weak!
thepersonwhostaresatyouthroughyourwebcamwhenyouthinkitsoff
I ditched the girlfriend. Gave me more time since I can meal prep for a whole week without complaints
Erastal
U could just find a girl that like video games, they aint so hard to find mate
thepersonwhostaresatyouthroughyourwebcamwhenyouthinkitsoff
I did, but she left me with all the chores
Erastal
Well, u gotta sacrifice one thing to get the other I guess.
SSlack
Step 1: Sell soul to regenerate energy without having to rest.
mcmoto
its overrated anyway
Temenos
I work out, play, have a dog, a GF and a job. I got 4 hours of sleep cause I wanted to play today
SanKa13
Thats where I am exactly. Never gonna sleep again
ICreatedThisAccountToPostPicsOfMyTwoCats
I do it, minus the school. My gf is a gamer so we game together and my work has a gym so I go there on my lunch break ;).

What is more disturbing is how he casually wrote off his kids.

IncredibleStonedMonkey
That's where the drugs come in
ragekritz
Or have some sort of scheduled "me time"
Ishalldefenestrateyou
No, no. the list leaves out the time sink that is imgur.
PleaseDontRespondToMySarcasticCommentsWithASeriousReply
Wake up at 5am every morning and game for 2-3 uninterrupted hours before work
IamLewAshby
Already getting up at 5 am. I still dont get home before 7pm :<
JoeHutty
I feel like when I game and I know I have to get off at a certain point I don't enjoy it as much. I'm too busy thinking about the time
Kensidian
This was literally my schedule last night/today, minus food. Can't cook when everyone's asleep D:
rabaal
So, a casual gamer then? 'Kay.
Mechlai
I'm stuck in a rut where I started working from home. No travel time, but lots of games and distractions. now I'm here and work's backed up.
AkLonewolf
Yeah, like exercise you gotta make the time and commitment.
SorkyMorky
No thanks. As much as I love video games, I hate waking up early even more. Especially if my job occasionally requires me to start at 6:30am
SS250
Absolutely perfect. +1
TheEdmontonMan
I actually do that, but only on weekends/tuesday/thursday when I'm not working out in the morning
Nykidemus
that's what I did through high school
BattleMercy
Woke up at 3am for work this morning, got done playing games at 12:15 last night... this hurts me on a spiritual level
Mcswigginsbar
I do this. It's perfect. Then I go workout for a nice energy boost.
AtillatheGun
*note. only works if your job starts at a reasonable hour.
GodEmperor0fMankind
Except that I have to be at work by 5
tiduszecht
why not just combine the sleep with the food. then you can get sustenance while you rest.
ltsDizzyD
Prepare for indigestion an a weird poop schedule
AlphaOmega135
What is OP, Luffy?
jackswift7
more like half an hour then leave for work with my job. Plus side is I get off earlier.
7heBored
Alternatively, game in the evening after work, class, and workout if you work early mornings
TotallySaneScientist
That gives me -1 hours of sleep with my current schedual
bpetersen
He also doesn't mention friends, family, or chores (dishes) driving from/to job work or other things, small tasks like buying groceries...
chikachikabuumbuum
I hope that isn't all conveniently included in the girlfriend package
JesusChristBackAgain
A grocery store near me delivers...
bpetersen
0.5 hour to get ready for work, 0.5 driving, 4 hours work, 0.5 lunch, 4 hours work, 0.5 driving home, 1.0 hour come home and eat...
bpetersen
0.5 hours driving to school, 1 hour of lecture(not 2.75 hour lab), 0.5 hours drive home, 0.5 clean dishes/house, 1.0 hour homework...
Dokramuh
Just remember it will get better once you graduate.
Dokramuh
Yeah if you're working and studying you can't complain you don't have time for anything.
bpetersen
2.0 hours gaming (if homework only takes you 1 hour), and 1 hour of getting ready for bed. This is a schedule if nothing else comes up like.
bpetersen
Getting gas, laundry, dishes, paying bills, taxes, talking to family/friends, extra homework
Troldgaard
That laves you with one hour and 45 minuts of sleep ????????
BattleMercy
If you take half an hour to get ready for work, there's your problem
HopeHubris
Do you just not shower or eat breakfast/prepare lunch?
BattleMercy
I make lunch the night before hand, and take a 2 minute shower, brush my teeth, and out the door in less than 10 minutes
TooFunkToDrunction
Get out of bed, shower, eat breakfast... it takes like half an hour
BattleMercy
Take a quick shower, brush my teeth, out the door, takes me like 10 minutes, I can't eat breakfast soon after I wake up, or I throw it up
hearthstoneaccount3
Groceries can be delivered, family can be communicated with while gaming (Same with friends) and transport is just more game time
fooptoot
Or if the people around you feel disrespected because you value the game over actually talking with me.
fooptoot
Don't get me wrong.I know you need your games,but trying to hold a conversation thats more than small talk is pointless if you're distracted
zzaannsebar
Not if you have parents that insist that the only legitimate form of communication is in person.
krackone
If you don't mind only gaming for an hour every other day then yes it's possible.
laziegoblin
And be shit at whatever game you play..
Raeilgunne
I get 6-9 a day with a 40 hour a week factory job. Married, no kids.
shorey66
This is my current hell. 6 month old plus 13hr shifts....no time for games.
DKo6
my life right now.....and sometimes its an hour every other week. adulting sucks
BallsDeGuava
Not true, really helps if ur girl likes to game as much as you.
ThroughTheLookingGlass
Yeah it does n if ur kid likes them too!! Id rather watch my hubby play then tv. N we gears it up together!
meganical
Then you'll never git gud
DorkJedi
you assume wife/girlfriend does not play. I play my games, she plays hers, sometimes we WoW or SWTOR together. We hardly ever watch TV.
ThroughTheLookingGlass
Yeah id rather watch my hubby play games then tv. Its like watching live comic books!! Or we gears together!!
GaleZeSnail
(1-2) I work 7-3 monday - fri, workout until 4ish, get home by 5, play video games until about 8, make dinner and relax with the girlfriend
GaleZeSnail
for a couple hours, rinse and repeat during the work week. Weekends are the free free time.
LadyPeppercornthethird
My SO gets up at 10am and plays until 1pm while I sleep in,then he goes to work at 5pm. We've been doing it this way for 5 years, it works.
rickyo86
Played fallout 4 for a month straight
SilverNicktail
So much this. Game collector in my 30s, get to game for a few hours every other day, plus I have a thing for sandbox games.
SilverNicktail
Guess how big my backlog is! (Clue: it's most of my collection.)
SilverNicktail
Fortunately, my girlfriend is also into ze gaemz, which helps a hell of a lot.
SuharuStormrage
It's possible if you work at Funhaus or Achievement Hunter.
kargul
Nah. 2-3. Fridays I usually have more time.
LuCiD5592
Truth.
Vydrach
Friend's guild leader in WoW managed a large raiding guild and could get a warrior from 1-60 (pre-BC) and in full tier 1 within two weeks-
[deleted]
[deleted]
Handlle
Lol average playtime was like 7-10 days to get to 60, hrs not talking about legion
SuperFaex
Didn't it take much longer to level up back then?
tiespiderman
Oh yes, except maybe the last few levels. As expansions came out lower levels got faster and faster but later ones seemed to take longer
lazyarmadillo
Pre Burning Crusade was a shit load harder than anything now a days.
DoingItWrongSince1980
And it takes a quarter the time as hitting 60 took when that was cap.
RepostsOnly
That's because WoW has gotten obscenely casual.
Vydrach
while having a job, school, and a girlfriend and neglecting none of 'em. I do not know how but I wouldn't rule out soul selling.
AShartInTheWind
I'm gonna go with cocaine , definitely cocaine.
Mymumsaysno
Sounds like it was probably sleep that was getting neglected there!
Isaislol
Probably Caffeine pills or Meth..
Catdog94
By being ruler of the night. Sleeping very little.
Confrontation
No sleep and lots of Adderall.
towelshop
Calling bullshit. Raids reset once a week back then. Unlikely all tier items would drop and no one else needed in a two week span.
tinydoll
Completely agree. That would have been the luckiest dude ever
TheNax
This. And the leveling was much much slower. Guessing a bot to do the lvling at least.
PoppinLochNessHopster
..do raids not reset once a week now?
hearthstoneaccount3
They do but there are 4 difficulties you can get tier pieces from so its a lot easier to get set bonuses
Handlle
Something was being sacraficed, whether it was sleep, diet, or small goats.
Nicodemusthefirst
It sounds better if you say kids.
Dumbladorable
Curried goat is pretty amazing tho
lefthandtaco
The small goats give a lil bit of xp so probably those
