22 Gaming Memes for Casual Gamers Mashing the Circle Button to Dodge Their Responsibilities

Have you ever played a game that makes you consider quitting your job? By the time your custom character has been created and you've completed the tutorial, the casual gamer in you gets sidelined, making you question your other commitments—namely, your seemingly unnecessary time wasted on the clock at your job. Imagine how good you would be at your favorite combat games if you simply spent 40 hours per week practicing parry skills, crafting arrows, or purchasing potions down at the local merchant—you'd be stacked. You'd finally be strong enough in your gaming to tackle the biggest boss on the map.

Alas, we have bills to pay and responsibilities to attend to. But secretly, every gamer has a video game that tickles that fancy, making them question their employment. How important is your job when the fate of this imaginary universe depends on you, your ping speed, and the strength of your gaming console?

Recently, I started playing Elden Ring. I know, it's probably the least casual game a gamer can tackle—but boy oh boy, is it hypnotizing. Despite getting annihilated by enemies and ousted by menial NPCs, it's all I can think about. The moment I clock out, the first thing I do is fire up the game, hoping to get one step closer to taking out another enemy camp in the hopes of discovering a massively pathetic piece of loot. Gaming is the best, isn't it?
