Stupid ass reasoning for it.
I came in expecting a decent set of reasoning. I kinda feel the same way but not because I'm rewarded in video games at faster intervals ffs. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X ... Copied to Clipboard!

"When I play a game, I know if I have a few hours I will be rewarded," he said. "With a job, it's always been up in the air with the amount of work I put in and the reward."
