I recently got a job after finishing university, all is good. However, after 5 full days of being behind desk job, I feel a bit exhausted of being behind desk.

Thus my desire to game on PC has soured immensely. Despite having a huge backlog and actually want to finish games.

I’m debating to purchase a Steam Deck OLED in the hope, I can actually play some decent games on there without getting fatigue of desk/ screens but that’s a big investment (€670-700).

So I was wondering; how do the adults of Lemmy with 5 full days of work still get the time and desire to play their games?

    How does one find work-life balance when the 40-hour work week feels like too much? Anything less than “full time” either doesn’t pay benefits or doesn’t pay enough to live off of. It feels like a trap

      Well, you’ve got me there, to be honest.

      It is a trap. I guess you find work-life balance by eating the rich.

        Lol, no worries. I guess my question is kinda hard to answer.

        Good thing I’m hungry, then I suppose :) Honestly, my plan is to one day try to inch my way to some kind of sustainable living situation where I can reduce my needed spending as much as possible and just live in a way that reduces all stress.

        I’m not sure if it’s practical yet or just a pipe dream, but it’s keeping me moving forward, so good enough, I suppose lol
