For the gaming truckers: I’m not a gamer. I don’t have time for it… but if I did, this would be my jam.

What’s yours?

Dont get into gaming OTR. You will be Doom'ed to failure.

Nah you can game and be otr, been doing it for 4 years. Yeah there are a few times here and there where you stay up to long but it can easily be done
warwgn@reddit (OP)
I see what you did there.
No. I gave up / grew out of gaming in the mid 2000s when I finally acquired full-time job status as a warehouse worker. Even now as a truck driver doing regional, and back when I was local, I couldn’t get back into it.

I have a 42 inch TV on that same wall. But mine has a TV mount instead of a window.

I’ve spent the money on a large 32 monitor. Lot better refresh rate than tvs but a 2k or 4k monitor that’s 32” or more with a decent refresh rate is hundreds of dollars so make sure you get the insurance

So as a trucker what do you have time for?
warwgn@reddit (OP)
During my 10 hours off, one hour at night for dinner, a shower, and a little bit of TV. One hour in the morning for breakfast, a little bit of TV, brush my teeth and get dressed.

When I was OTR I brought my desktop with me and my TV , and I strapped my desktop down with some ratchet straps and foam pads

I have a mini-pc in my truck. Works just like a desktop computer, but everything is in a tiny little portable case, 5” x 5” x 2”.

Hey bro, that’s awesome.

I had my switch and PS3 with me. Didnt game on it often unless I was doing a 34 or waiting on shipper. Some places took like 8 hours or more just to load a 48 ft flatbed 🥶

That looks great. Will it run doom 3?
bentstrider83@reddit
Looks awesome. Of course if I got into gaming, I'd eventually get canned due to gaming addiction.
Sufficient_Wall5192@reddit
Is that doom?
warwgn@reddit (OP)
Yes sir. Actually it’s a new edition of the old classic game. Brutal doom.
A bunch of people got together, took the original doom engine, and made it better. It’s so good, they actually got kudos from the original doom creator himself, John Romero.

Yep keep getting fat and soon you will not be able to walk and pass the DOT physical. You already sit for hours driving OTR. Playing computer games is the least of the things you should do for whatever is left of your 8 hour break. How's your health and weight so far? I imagine you are like obese?
