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 long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment.

    For about 2 months and a few days now. So I think, I already adjusted to the changes.

    School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people.

    Definitely! It was tough the first few weeks, lol.

    Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.

    At the moment I don’t yet, I purposely asked if I could work full time at office. I still live with parents and the distractions are a bit much. Might try working from home sooner or later though.

      In that case my original advice might be the best. Try doing some of you other hobbies, and then re-evaluate after a couple weeks. I’m guessing you are not in the US, but the weather is getting better in the northern hemisphere. Try finding something to do that gets you out of the house. If you still want to play games later, you’ll find the time
