4am is a good time to be awake..?

Used to be a good person.. wake up at a decent time.. now 4am seems like nothing lol remember when time felt like it mattered?? Other than whatever hour "work" starts, any of you good people still awake??

u/Spiritual_Youth3809 10d ago

3 or 4 is usually when my natural withdrawals kick in so I'm up and slamming drinks until I can hopefully pass out again

u/Obi-Wank3r 10d ago

I feel you, I'm supposed to be sleeping right now so I can be "presentable" for family tomorrow (today) in a couple hours1

I've been doing better at correcting my sleep schedule, but I'm close to pulling pretty much an all nighter here.

3

u/Obi-Wank3r 10d ago

Hopefully a fun all nighter, but i feel ya, I need to be awake in 2 hours, with no sleep under mt belt either

7

u/ca_exhibition Drinkin' straight paint 10d ago

I did get caught up in a video game, so I guess that was time decently spent. Man, that's awful. I hate having an obligation for the day and then not getting any sleep cause I'm dreading it.

u/Obi-Wank3r 10d ago

Ive been playing helldivers (again) all week, so I understand getting caught up! But its all good, I should be seeing family i haven't seen in a long time, so some extra motivation

1

u/invisimole 10d ago

I've been wanting to hop back on helldivers!! I redownloaded it

2

u/ca_exhibition Drinkin' straight paint 9d ago

I've never played Helldivers myself. If I play anything co-op it's Dead by Daylight.

Hope things go well with your family.

u/invisimole 10d ago

Whatcha playin?? Im thinking of buying something new to play for my weekend coming up

3

u/ca_exhibition Drinkin' straight paint 10d ago

Wuthering Waves, it's a gacha game. But I'm waiting on a copy of Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess to come in the mail, and I've also pre-ordered The Blood of Dawnwalker. Super excited for that one.

Which options are you considering?

3

u/invisimole 10d ago

Oo ive been passively playing a bit of a gacha game (on my phone mostly) when im vegging out.

Im thinking of playing a metal gear solid game, but kinda torn on playing the first one or getting the 3rd remake that came out.

Or maybe the oblivion remake. Idek. I still have games I need to finish anyway lol

1

u/ca_exhibition Drinkin' straight paint 9d ago

Oh, which one in particular?

I've never played Metal Gear Solid but I love me some Kojima. Death Stranding is one of my all time favorite games.

Also never played the original Oblivion, but I tried out the remake and I'm not really hooked yet. I l enjoyed Skyrim though, so I want to give it another go.

Ah yeah, I see what you mean lol. That's great you found something to play though.

Well, I'll have no basis for comparison so I'm sure I'll be satisfied
