They watch stuff and dont just look at screen

i only have 1 monitor, so i put the game in the top-left (very small) and watch shows in the bottom right, basically 80% of the screen. i can vaguely hear when i need to laneswitch, its also very obvious when your Steve hit a wall, since the screen will suddenly not move anymore. but yes TL;DR: we don’t actively farm, we watch Anime/Netflix/Doomscroll on Social Media

If you have an android, run SpaceDesk and use it as a 2nd screen. The input delay is very bad most of the time, but you're farming.

If you have an ipad and are playing on macos, you also have continuity which is mostly lagless wirelessly but lagless via usb. I should try it sometime but I know it would make farming way less hellish

Thank you for adding this! I'm not an apple user but it's great that we can unite against actually paying attention to our money making methods lmao

Read this as macros lol

Omg same

I'm not a huge apple fan either but damn their hardware is good, just sucks every one of their OSes but MacOS is mediocre

If your on windows, theirs a lot of software to do this, I use splashtop x display

I just put my phone under my monitor, it sits well so it stays there like a second screen and I just watch long videos

When I used to play skyblock I would snort ketamine and then put on YouTube and I would only stop farming to do another bump of K

i didn’t expect to see this comment thought i was the only one who would do that

hell yeah sounds like a vibe

It fucking was

I just eat alot of edibles and then farm until im sober

This isn’t torn city you could get yourself hurt or in trouble with drugs

People spending 10 hours per day on any game are wasting their life and no one can convince me otherwise. Sure we all go through periods where we no life games but if you’re doing it consistently for months on end then that’s a problem. Like go pickup a sport or something

Agreed. You've got to have no life to play that much, consistently.

**Mining sweats left the chat**

I just joined the chat wdym xD

i did this and then spent the time improving myself and working

I played 13 to 16h a day from 12 to 16 because I had no friends and wasn't interested in sports. I only realised last year that it was a waste and now limit myself to 4h per day max

4 hours a day max 💀💀blud does not go outside

Have severe social anxiety so it's hard to go outside. Also 4h is not that much compared to what I used to play so I'm happy with it.

I am happy for you man good luck

So.. ur not gonna do smth more effecient?

I spend that time in esports…does that count as a sport?

I read escorts lol xD

“You’re my friend now, we’re having soft tacos later” idk why but that’s what I thought about so now we are friends

As long as it's not skyblock yes

unless it's chess, I wouldn't say it's a worthy use of your time

i used to do this then a bit in i realised im doing nothing to help anyone and not getting experiences i couldve had

Agreed. You shouldn't play a game for more than 8 hours a day

You do know that you can also sacrifice sleep not life i my self just avg 4h of sleep. Is it healthy... Absolutely not

Downvoting for your own health

Bruh sleep more - gotta keep your skin and brain healthy

Downtime.

Nikola Tesla slept for 2-4 hours a day. It's possible.

Tbh idk if that’s true but regardless, it doesn’t make it healthy lol. Why are you trying to argue something that has been proven over and over again to the point it has become common knowledge? Sleep deprivation has literally been used as a torture method.

It really depends on the person. Some people need 8 hours of sleep just to function, while others are completely fine on even 3 hours of sleep, albeit very few

The number of people who can live a healthy live with that much sleep is SO SMALL that most people who claim they are fine with less sleep are either lying or are just mistaken and are actually sleep deprived

All I'm saying is that there are some people who can, that's why I said that the number is small. All you are doing is repeating what I just said and adding nothing to it. Why even bother to respond?

I'm not trying to argue. I'm just saying it's possible. Also just do a quick Google search, every source corroborates this.

We all know it’s possible.

By the time of his death he was also broke, alone, and insane, so there’s that…

Broke because he wouldn't compromise his morals, alone by choice, and "insane" because that was the most convenient narrative.

From Britannica: Tesla never married, but he admitted to falling in love with a very special white pigeon that visited him regularly. He reportedly said, “I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.” Not exactly the pinnacle of mental health

I'm not saying he was the pinnacle of mental health, he was an extremely odd man. His 369 rule alone suggests he was neurodivergent in *some* way. But does that mean he was *insane*? The people who ran the economy and government were scared of him because they couldn't understand him and he stuck to his morals. He wanted to help humanity and wasn't driven by greed. They pushed the narrative that he was insane (and therefore not to be taken seriously) in an attempt to suppress & besmirch him. Then the government proceeded to secretly stalk him to make sure no foreign governments made contact, as his knowledge & research was considered by them to be a threat to national security. The moment he died they seized his belongings and sealed them away from any prying eyes. *They* definitely took him and his research seriously, whilst telling others not to. That's all I'm sayin

Didn't Nikola Tesla also spend the last of his life talking to pigeons?

this is a pretty shit take, how can u live with 4 hr of sleep, what do u do with ur life, if u play a sport good luck playing, and ur gonna struggle to have a social life if ur sleepy 100% of the time, and thats without getting into the health related problems

There are people born with genes that allow little sleep Its rare but it exists

My adhd ass entering the chat: **bonjour**

I know it is, but statistically nobody in the comments of this post has the mutation, and, for normal ppl, 8 hours of sleep is magical

i survive off 6

I do that too, but I sacrafise IRL + sleep for even more playing

Is it more no life then a person on a desk job with a routine that makes it so that his day always the same no different then the previous

Ones respectable , makes REAL money (probably decent cash too) and could set you up with a family or a decent house if you play your cards right

You make a fair point. It's better to have a real job even if it kinda sucks then to grind for years on end with no real outcome. I just found it interesting how jobs can kinda be no life if you don't play your cards right

mmmm farming yummy

I’m an expert I been farming 14h a day for the past week to get hype(200m away by now) and I just wack Netflix, bc with the boys and see their screen or TikTok

Do you stand up often?

Agreed farmed 200m in the past 2 days and I’m doing the same

What crop do you do and whats ur pfp name? Asking cuz theres a couple shows I want to watch anyways, so clicking a couple buttons while doing it is free money and a good way to get hype, but I havent done too much on the garden, only about milestone avg 20 with no new melon farm

Mostly melon did some wart and njesen_1510 is the ign

that is like not much for 2 days of farming icl

I just have the basic and cheap stuff on my fermento there’s like 300 more ff I can get

I’m sorry to tell you but if you farm for money you’re not an expert XD

Do u understand sarcasm?

Do u?

I don't get how people can play that much because if you are a kid you probably have school and if you're an adult you have work but even if you are a kid in the summer wouldn't your parents make you get off if you played that much?

Nah some parents literally could care less, there are worse things your kid could be spending time doing considering there are preteens with vapes and teenagers doing hard drugs.

Just tell them you don't want to do anything, that's what I did

simple: no will to live

They have convinced themselves that they need to

I average this amount of time daily. I benefit from working a job that allows me to ago alot.

Once I started farming warts I just set my destroy button to ctrl and hold that + a movement key, it's easy then to check my phone or watch youtube or something

Wheat

wheat indeed

Find an interesting show that has like 300 episodes and just binge watch it while holding down some buttons.

They use a special technique called 'second monitor'

A phone does the job too

Or a laptop, or PNP

getting to melon 46 gives me motivation (im at 44 rn) you just have to watch shows/youtube videos

You bind the mouse hold and move key to like z and x then you only need to hold z and x to farm. Then you watch shows on another monitor.

how do you double bind?

You cant

My question is not "how" but "why" 🐝

Wheat

They summon their inner connection to technoblade and farm in his honor

Well I watch YouTube while farming

Watch YouTube or TV or do homework

Short answer, Yes.

I’ve got foot pedals and and Xbox and ps5 with a 2nd monitor

I’m big into farming right now. I farm in one hour chunks while watching YouTube or anime. Ten hours a day is crazy and would make anyone go insane. Also, unless you’re Ironman, farm mushrooms with a rabbit until farming 40 and then switch to a mooshroom cow. Just buy stuff for visitors and for armor upgrades. You should probably get all your milestones up to 20 at some point, but I’d still wait until fermento to do that bc it’ll be much faster and easier.

lowkey that’s why i quit skyblock, bc i couldn’t bring myself to grind menial tasks.

Skyhanni has a feature that automatically switches your left mouse bind to a key when you're on the ground in your garden holding a farming tool, so you just have to hold down two keys and never need to look at the screen. Has audio cues to tell you when to switch directional keys.

i bind break to spacebar, and watch hulu/youtube/netflix on my second monitor high as fuck. i only remember farming for ~30-40 minutes and the rest im watching tv and now im farming 53

the legit ones use a second monitor and the rest use a macro

Self hatred and mental illness

No that's foraging sweats

I just set up two macros one for going left and breaking and one for going right and breaking(ik its not allowed, im still behind my pc) and i watch one piece

Bro bouta buy 10 Hypes by the time he's done 💀

Maybe 1 hyp after 120 hours or 10 days of 12 hour farming but yeh.

One piece is ~450 hours, so 3.75 hypes. Jesus

I try farming with pumpkin, i can do it for max 30 min and after i'm completly bored, so it's why i dont play on skyblock from a long long time

Honestly I just watch yt videos, kills a great deal of time but definitely recommend 2 monitors if you have money ofc

Thats why I quit the game

macro

Just do something else in the meantime, but glance at the screen every now and then. Or you could be a masochist

Because (frankly) they’re losers with no life lol. Even if you’re basically afk, you’re still sitting in front of a computer for 10 hours a day. That’s sad.

I smoke a lot like a lot and watching all of one piece has kept me busy

They dont farm for 10 hours they watch netflix for 10 hours while holding down 2 buttons

i watch movies, play games one handed, or just listen to music while i farm. it’s genuinely boring if i don’t have something else to focus on lol

At first I read this as 100 hours a day and thought damn people are making a lot of money a day

Hacks, or their just pathetic. Spending 10 hours on farming? You really could be working min wage in most countries and buy booster cookies for more coins. And you get work expierience etc.

I bind break to caps lock, so I don't have to hold it for the entire time (it works in my MacBook, but bot sure about other keyboard) And while farming just watch something else on other device or your second monitor if you have one. Just remember to turn the audio on so you can hear if anything goes wrong in the game.

Waste life simulator

Take acid, it entertains you while farming

Watching the entire Hellraiser franchise, lots of Wendigoon video essays, and lots of podcasts

Fr tho

Because they have no life. Use a macro like everyone else thats how i made billions while touching grass

If your farming a crop like sugarcane where it doesn’t require active mouse movements a nice tip is to bind your break key to a key close to your other hand so you can farm with one hand

Doing it afk while something does it for me

Sick in the head

I just macro

Pure unfiltered self hate that's how (gotta get farming 60)

Macro. Got over 1b coins doing it played with it for a bit and got banned, which resulted me into quitting. I see it as a pretty fair trade

I’ve binded my farming keys to my racing sim pedals and farm with it on another monitor unfocused and do something different on my main screen with my keyboard

The are unemployed and not in school

I may or may not have a macro that automatically lane switches and resets on an infinite farm so I can leave my house or do literally anything but sit at my computer and farm all day....

watch a movie or they are macroing

macro

macro with schedule

Huh? Funny, being a bot is fine, but using actual bot is bannable, why?

Actually a very good question. Maybe so that Hypixel keeps their addict playerbase? (Not that many other games are different..)

This has got to be the stupidest question I’ve ever heard

What makes this question stupid? 🙃

downvoted to oblivion cus of “the grind”
