The specific thing you spend the most time doing instead of the actual job you're being paid to do is your new profession. What's your new job title? (lemmy.world)

Well, I would be a comic book creator... With video game screenshots.

Professional Kingdom of Loathing player, I guess! I may spend more time on other things, but other than biological necessities, KoL is the only thing I do every day no matter where I am 😁

I gave up in my second month of grinding for rare vertebrae for the Bone Dragon. Glad to know more patient people have fun with KoL. GLHF

Using KolMafia for configurable automation and tons of other helpful scripts and the wiki to look stuff up helps tremendously! If I had to go without either, I'd probably burn out pretty fast too lol

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

I had the wiki then, did not know about the mods. This was, maybe, 2007 lol

Please refer to me as Total War XMunk in the future. I shall reign terror upon this land.

Well, either that or I'm now a professional pilgrim... gosh, I wish you could get paid for just walking a lot.

Tracing shapes & cutting them out.

It's like 20% sewing, the other 80% being planning, geometry, resource management, tracing, and cutting.

And I often discover that I'm still bad at math! Pain. 🫠

I really hope everyone’s answer is professional sleeper, otherwise we have some very unhealthy people.

[–] AdNecrias@lemmy.pt 2 points 7 months ago

You misread the prompt, it's during work hours, not the whole day. Unless we'd expect people to sleep during work hours instead of the rest of the day to be healthy.

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago

I mostly proofread serialized web fiction, but I dabble in social media.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

Looks like I'm a professional sleeper...
