I have a friend who got into owning a chain business location. They don’t want kids, so he would spend months at a time gaming. It was a bit cool and a bit sad. The area he lived in to do this was super undesirable and other towns were an hour-plus away. I’m talking gaming from eyes open to eyes closed with the small breaks to crunch some numbers.
I also gamed obscenely when I was young. I don’t miss the long duration but I do miss the eagerness for each new experience that I think came from gaming as thing rapidly got better.

Probably shouldnt share this online, but i’m a College student who lives with parents (and the place i live gives me free college because of how little income my household has, so i don’t need to worry about work). I took summer break too so even more free time, and plus im in a field adjacent to Computer Science and have been practicing that stuff for years before college, so i cruise through most my classes. so basically: I got pretty lucky
