I honestly don’t see how the average working class adult find that time. I feel like gaming is a luxury for rich/middle-class teens.

    Only on the weekends, between chores.

    I drive a truck for work, and it’s my home during the week. Theoretically, I’ve got some gaming time while waiting on loading docks, but in terms of providing time for gaming, I can’t count on it. Some of my customers are annoyingly efficient. I prefer to nap anyway.

    I could always play once I’m parked at the end of my trip, but after 11 hours of driving, I’m often too mentally fried to even watch TV.

    Plus, my truck’s power inverter can’t handle running my gaming PC anyway. So it waits for me at home.

      I drove for Schneider for about a year and the standard equipment inverter was more than enough for my computer at the time (i9-12900k, 2070 super). I could run the microwave at the same time too… it was probably at least 2kw.

      But yeah, it kinda sucked not knowing if I was going to be docked for 30 minutes or 4 hours… it was always best to be able to get paid to play video games or take a nap.
