Riddle me this…do you get a slightly cooler helmet for 30 minutes of work? …? Thought so.

That was me at 22.
At 32 it has now reversed.
I’ll go buy a cooler helmet in real life.
And a motorcycle.

I would rather clean question marks off Skellige for 8 hours a day, any day, than having to work.

It’s the principle of the thing. I already paid $60 for this thing (citizen bundle) and I don’t want to spend another $10 every time a war bond drops just because there’s one or two items that look fun

When your performance is actually rewarded with solid bonuses, the work becomes a LOT more fun. I give it my all every day. Work flies by and I actually don’t mind putting in as much extra time (and travel) as I need to. That’s where work > games.

If my boss gave me ‘Experience Points’ and a ‘Loot Box’ every Friday, I’d be the most productive employee in history.
