Aging gamers were reportedly delighted to see that a new video game called Eldric Quest has accessibility features catered specifically to people their age who do not have enough time to actually play a video game.

“I came back from the office at around 7 p.m. and was so happy to see this mode implemented because holy shit am I tired,”

I know this is satire but I would definitely play a mode like this. I may only be 20 but a 10 hour shift plus nearly 2 hour train rides kill me

I only realized it was satire after I opened the thread and saw it was HardDrive, not only did it feel something a game would do (probably a New Blood game) but I was also genuinely stoked

Dear god. I burned out around your age with a similar work schedule. Less commute but more work hours. Took me years to recover.

If your situation allows, please find yourself a better work and commute setup. Your boss isn't going to care that you're dying inside, especially when they've grown accustomed to everything you get done running yourself ragged. If you can, start doing less at work so you have energy to search for other jobs.

In some workplaces, it's actually better to let things slip so your boss can push for more manpower.

My situation is lucky not the worst. I am currently going to a technical school for medical work. And when I actually am at the place I work in it's hardly "working" much at all, a good number of days I literally can watch an movie between cases.

Honestly most of the feeling dead is the commute, which unfortunately I don't have many options for, can't drive plus no other job I find offers nearly as much as I make (coupled with the fact that this quite literally the only job of its kind in the area).

I also get along very well with my team (literally no drama) and management is pretty nonexistent and we all take a firm stand when they do.

I very much appreciate the concern however

I mean many games usually have an easy mode.

I frequently play on it.

yeah I'm glad I've kind of let myself play in easy, I enjoy games much more that way
