Anyone have a job that feels like a video game?
| > bike courier
I'm sorry, what? That's a thing?
| I don't have a job.
| Jobs? That's for losers
| Some of my work involves sizeable amounts of money and statistics. I sometimes feel like I'm playing EVE or football manager.
| i open up shop early and honestly the amount of drinks and crackheads that come in combined with the sleep deprivation makes it feel a little bit like a bad horror game
| I watch people play vr games. Does that count?
| People make games about the strangest of things. Someone having a job like one would not surprise me

I'm just kind of baffled there are enough circulating bicycles that bike courier is a proper specialization.
"Upgrade succesful! Courier is now Bike Courier!"
| I play as a neet and I basically stay in my room all day and play video games and jerk off, it's alright I guess
| Idunno, I guess coding kinda feels like a puzzle game. Like something from Zachtronics specifically.
| >>206183 imagine having to walk around cleaning tables at a restaurant during easter where very few customers come in.
Yesterday (on the 30th, for future ref), the original manager had to pick someone up at the airport, so I was the stand in from 5PM until 10PM, we only had 20 customers total that day, but even then things were pretty slow.
Today (31st Mar) was also pretty slow, longer opening hours, but my shift generally starts at 5PM, as with any other day, until 9PM (1/2)
| >>210454 During that shift there was a group of 3 that arrived and were probably there until near closing hours, and we've had maybe 5 orders go through our telephone, and around 8 customers in total who were eating in, so 13~ customers total was rather meh, since I've seen more busier days where it would overload me.
At least you're outside and cycling while I'm frequently having to walk around with a fucked up knee, but I don't blame you.

| While my job isn't exactly "game-like". I always get the vibe that I'm a main character. People can recognize my face easily. back in the college, many of the professors actually remembers my name. Wherever i go, i always the one who draws the most attention in my group. I always dress normally and my height/ weight is only average, never dyed my hair or anything. Don't have any piercing or tattoos.
| I work at a call center taking shit from people who don't know how a credit card works. It feels like papers please having to deal checking every little detail and checking that all security numbers are correct.
Boy I wish stealing credit cards wasn't a crime.
| Not quite my paid job, but I find a lot of what I do (stopping my loved ones from tearing each other's throats or drawing info from employees who don't trust me) feels a lot like a misanthropic version of Ace Attorney. Or LA Noire I guess.
Meanwhile my weekend is all GTA delivery minigame! Hit the checkpoints! Don't hit anything! How many can you do before the time runs out?? How much can you learn or laugh about from your podcasts? Sometimes it's the only thing I look fwd to.
| >>35e643 yea the courier thing is a lot like the gta mini game/ crazy taxi type game. Trying to set up runs that make the most money and talking over a walkie talkie app with other riders about runs or just bullshitting. I'm honestly starting to love it even though it can be a bitch in the cold rain or snow
| Electrican. Very bad game on shity factory. Dust, mud, and other not sweet things. (Yup, english not my main language.)
| being a local cumwhore feels like a video game, because giving blowjobs all day can get repetitive, but also exciting
| >>35e643 I've been there anon,the best you can do is go to another area if you can. I used the wage to start paying for my college and now I'm IT intern, and I can tell, it was way worth it.
| Sometimes I play games when I should be working, does that count?
| I used to do archaeology. That felt like a videogame for sure. Trekkin thru israel digging for artifacts, mad sunburn, oh and a war with gaza started when i was there. So lots of gunfire at night. Fun times.
| Yes. My job is basically Papers Please.

| I work as a bike courier, using an app to take delivery jobs and communicate with other cyclists. I feel like I'm playing a video game, getting little bits of xp and gold to upgrade my bike and eat. Anyone else have similar feelings?
