You need better games. I could easily do 100 hours per week, although that really cuts into commenting. A standard week of 8 hours off time per day leaves you 112 hours of gaming/commenting time.

You didn’t build anything, you didn’t form relationships, you didn’t lead any new endeavors, and you didn’t help anyone. You just ran around a fictional environment that has nothing to do with reality.

Exactly**!** And not only that, I play single player in every game, even in GTA Online! (set your PS4 MTU to around 700) I've built countries that not a single other person will ever see or know about.

(The theory here is that a society that needs my assistance to not be this retarded doesn't deserve it and won't receive it. And why spend the rest of my life in prison when I can play games instead? Give me immunity and maybe I'll come out and play again.)

The trick is to only play games you like. I have around 60 games just on Steam, but time played falls off to minutes after the first couple rows. A few dollars seems like a great price for some of those full games, but then you have to come up with the time to play them, when you already have games you love.

Have an upvote, since there's nothing wrong with avoiding awful games.
