Legit though, it isn't as cool as its cracked up to be.

It's great for the first few weeks , maybe a month or two.

I graduated in September, job searched through December, finally signed a contract, but I don't start until April. I am counting down the fucking days, my dude.

Idk I've been unemployed with enough savings to not go straight into job hunting. I had a blast spending most of my time gaming. Just helps to have a few other smaller hobbies.

Agreed, I took about 10 months off after quitting my last job, and ended up moving about 4 months into it. I never got bored and the only downside was that I had to find a job eventually. It was the best 10 months I can remember.

Yah, that's fun. But that's also short term. Long term, you end up having to find stuff to do more than just drift.

You ever actually spent most of your time just playing video games? It gets old real quick.

Having one thing be your only hobby will get boring for the majority of people, so just have some extra hobbies. I could definitely spend 75% of my time gaming and the rest on other hobbies and feel great.
