got a pretty normal job over here in germany. working 37h/ week and usually i can spend like 7-8 hours a day without totally getting wasted but dont do this unless there is a new Path of Exile league or something like Ashes is getting realeased. (talking working days here)
Also if you dont mind spending your Holiday for Gaming i usually do that twice a year for 1 week each. and in this week i just game the living hell out of social life.
so yeah i think i can manage it pretty well but i guess ill never be the best of the best in anything but rather top 5. Haha jk
And i do my "workout" on the way home or to work, i live 10km away from the laboratory and i almost always go by bike.
Hope i was able to help.
That leaves me with enough time to work part time and play my games as well.
A couple of years ago it was quite stressful, though^^
Sometimes if my D&D group cancels a session it frees up a solid 8 hours, sometimes a little more.
The wife tends to have things she enjoys doing so when she is out and about I play. When she is home rarely does she care what's on the tele due to her mostly using it for background noise.
We're one of those couples that chose not to have kids, so as an adult with an actual profession I have plenty of time to game. It's just mostly with friends playing D&D.
My work ethic for school is a little hardcore so I'm usually fine to play after I've finished all my work. I just can't rest easy or play knowing I have work to do so some days when I have a lot of assignments I may not play at all and others where I've already finished my work I could play all day. I find that only when I'm really addicted to a game it might impede on my work productivity
I find that there is always a healthy balance and have to realize that video games are suppose to be entertainment, not a life.
I will say I am thankful that I have help with the house cleaning and cooking which gives me a bit more time to sneak in some game time after work and errands/some chores.
Though when Ashes comes out....what is balance? What is life?
Game for fun, not for life
FTC tried, but cant stop me!
It's a nice passive income,while providing people a service. I mean,why even have a phone unless you're going to be getting a call an hour on it daily.
I don’t sleep /s

@Ceivent A bake shop!? That's awesome! Just put a computer down in the shop and play games when it's slow / nothing to do. (make it a gaming bake-shop matter of fact!)
@Desseus I feel that... I don't sleep more than 3-4 hour (naps) a day on busy weeks. My boyfriend hates it. He literally was yelling at me because I started passing out while driving the other day.
@Karthos okay so your the person I gotta report, I understand. STOP CALLING ME
@nick10281 Now that's conflict resolution! #myfuturehopefully
@Nelirya I understand that completely. 100% Whenever I get the chance to relax and play I love it.
Just have to prioritize whats important to you.
I played F Zero back in day on my NES as a kid and then mained him on Super Smash Melee.
However, at uni, I tended to play a lot more than I should have done, and skipped revision etc to play games. I was lucky in that I had a good memory, but if that hadn't been there, I would have been well and truly screwed
I think its good to find a schedule and stick to a schedule, then that'll reduce the chance of becoming addicted. However, if new content is out, I'm all for taking holiday time off work to go through the new content.
Schedules are great. I wish I had one, but Literally shoot myself in the foot every time I try.
@Fairypinkett I said "Its good to find a schedule", however, I have not yet found it. So currently taking a break from gaming until I have a clear routine.
