The stuff people can find to complain about. More problems to deal with in the REAL world. Bills. Work. Gubermant. Oil Field Sucking Wind. Bills. Obamacare. Hum....let me think some more. I sometimes wish I lived in a Fairy Land far far away, free of daily worries. Reality is we all have the same struggles you mention. Some people seem to cope better and handle them better. I could write a book on job pressure and stressful situations. You just can't let that stuff beat you down. I don't play video games cause quite frankly I don't care for them. That being said if someone wants to spend some time playing them then there are far worse things they could be out doing.

Yep, I just leave my phone on in my pocket while I'm walking around the warehouse pulling orders or packing for shipment - it's just passively clocking distance to hatch eggs. When my phone buzzes, I take a few seconds to glance at it, maybe a few more to make a catch, then put it back in my pocket and keep working. When I'm at my desk, the phone is off (and charging) I have this crazy practice where I do work at work. I may get on my phone when I actually take a break. But that's the difference between working for someone else, and working for yourself. I have to actually earn my money. Effing around on my phone prevents me from getting the job done. Eh.. whatever. I know he's the only person in his office doing all of shipping, customer service, purchasing, website, etc.. But sure. He's just effing around on his phone all day playing pokemon.

Takes me longer to type this reply than the amount of time I spend all day playing pokemon. Like I said, my phone's in my pocket while I walk around - I take it out for a few seconds when it buzzes, and spend less time interacting with it than I do with the same phone when my boss sends me a text. I only actively play in my off time.

That being said if someone wants to spend some time playing them then there are far worse things they could be out doing. Yeah, I've got a few gamers in my hood. They walk around like zombies in their pajama pants to the gas station. They only immerge during low light periods. One of them has creepishly long fingernails. They really don't have any friends outside their headset. Sort of sad IMO....but hey, better killing people on a game than on the street. You got a point.

He is OG like me...2004, that's a long time to run up numbers. You can spread the post out over many years.

At my old job I did frontline tech support and video games were a HUGE daily stress reliever for me with the kind of people I had to deal with on a daily basis.

I'm not on here all day. I just happen to be at lunch, and may pop on here a couple times during the day when taking a break. Most of my post count came from when I got laid up with an injury. I spend a lot less time on here than most of the regular posters.

Moto, I like your game! That is teaching a kid something! Values, respect, work ethic, ect.
Pokémon, not sure what it teaches.

I've also learned some **** the hard way. When you're in business for yourself, you gotta get it done or no pay. I've paid the price for slacking off. It wasn't fun being broke.
For the record. I play the carp out of Madden Mobile in my free time. So it's not like I'm against playing games. Key words though -free time.

In this economy it almost like beating your head on a wall some days.
