I’m not only tired, I want you damn kids to get off my lawn

30+ year old gamers trying to pull an all nighter: I’m tired, boss.

Nearly 50 here: I’ve had the urge to do an all-nighter for weeks now but I know I probably couldn’t pull it off and that I’d be a wreck for 36 hours afterward.

My previous job at a factory with rotating day/night shifts gave me an apparently lifelong case of sleep disorders. My “eight hours of uninterrupted sleep” is more or less indistinguishable from my “one coffee after pulling an all-nighter in Factorio”.

• smoke meth
• hail satan
• thank me later

I think that is more a you problem. My work is the only thing holding me back from gaming all night.

I’m gaming at least 6hrs a day. Rarely go to bed before 4am. I’m >50, it’s possible 😁

And we still do cultural outside shit all day, so it’s not that.
