Report: You Could Quit Job Right Now And Just Play PS5 Until You Run Out Of Money
NEW YORK—Saying the choice was entirely in your hands, a report released Monday found that you could quit your job right now and just play PlayStation 5 until you run out of money. “At this very moment, you could walk out the front door of your office and go home to spend month after month playing G...
Please don't tempt me, I am barely holding on.
On the plus-but-not-really side, for those of us barely hanging on, the "until you run out of money" part is like a single pay period, so it's not all that tempting.
I've made it 9 months since I quit.
Lotta chicken and rice but I thought I'd take my retirement before I die in the food wars
Bruh, I aim to the water wars. That's starting next year, I believe.
I've been jobless for around 2 years now because of depression and shit, finally got back into working and I hate myself for not starting up my world of warcraft career back up. I could be a wow king by now 🙃😂
As someone who is currently neglecting their offline life again becausenof that game (Classic Hardcore goes brrr) - be glad that you didn't :D
I've done that before. When I quit I stood in Orgrimar and gave out 10,000 gold to everyone who asked. That was a shit load of gold back then, although it might not be now. But I completely changed the Azeroth life of a dozen or so people.
So I can quit my job and play PS5 for 15 minutes?
I could go back in time???
i did this last winter; i firmly believe everyone has and needs slovenly unemployment periods to remind you of the perils of not working [but in equal measure, the bliss of not working and the amount of luxury you can just coast on]
I'm doing this right now. It's the first time in 10 years I haven't had someplace I needed to be 5 days a week. It's really changing my perspective on what I need out of a job and what I could be improving in my life if I weren't spending that time working.
Ugh I wish... been working since I was 15 and I guess had the luxury of never not having a job? 25 years now and the longest break I have ever seen was 3 weeks for the birth of 1 of my children. The other was only 2 weeks. I can also count the amount of times I had 2 weeks off which was 3 times. The rest has been the normal 1 week off twice a year with a few other days here and there.... I'm so tired.
This is horrific. I complain at my 5 week a year allowance sometimes because I feel It's not enough to avoid burnout at some points in the year... My productivity drops substantially after around 2 months with no break. I still output of course but if I take a two-three week summer break I come back dealing with issues that almost destroyed me before the break within hours or minutes and I can manage my team far more naturally. I think 8 weeks per year of holiday would genuinely boost my output overall.
Like damn I'm in the exact same boat. Same number of years on the job and everything.
I always considered myself lucky to not be unemployed, while all my friends got laid off over the years due to the .com crash, housing crash, and COVID.
But maybe they were the lucky ones?
Definitely do this, except replace playstation with heroin.
For real. Who has money for a PS5?
I've seen for my PlayStation 1 backlog to get through
Por que no los dos?
Because depressants will make you suck at video games. You gotta get into stimulants to combo with gaming. On the plus side, if you get into meth or crack, you'll have the energy to hold down a part time job and full time gaming addiction for a few months before you start to come apart! Then you'll have a few more months of just cracked out gaming after you get fired before you're evicted. If you're lucky and steal some wifi, you could eek out a whole year of 40+ hour gaming weeks of erratic, aggressive high level play. You'll set random records. You'll birth new slurs to yell at children. You're not gonna accomplish any of that on heroin. You're really gonna let people down on heroin.
Don't think you'd have the energy to do both.
Meth on the other hand...
This comment was wayyyyy too palatial.
If only I had a PS5...
Look at mr moneybags over here who can afford a ps5 and a 4k tv
Hey man, respect the speedrun strats
His RTA poverty game is as close as it can get without TAS
Literally what I have been doing since last month. I made it a bit more challenging by going on a vacation for a week too.
I could take more than a year off before I run out of money. But finding rentals without a job is impossible regardless of how much savings you have. Atleast in Australia where you get evicted atleast once a year because the owner wants to move in
Tempting.
Amateurs.... I have been doing this for more than a decade. Thank you Satoshi
they should have called me for research, i actually tested this one when the technology was PlayStation(TM)
In this economy that's 3 weeks. I'd rather call in sick.
Super tramp manual lvl 1
I actuay decided to sit around buying & selling mtg cards while playing over spelltable. Quit my job last week.
Turned $300 in gross sales since breakfast today.
Cross post this to one of the anti-work/pro-communist communities here. This would be their dream life.
"Communism is when no work haha"
Hot take there bud 🤡
If it isn't yours, or substitute whatever hobby you find fulfilling, you're an idiot.
