Am i the only one who wants to play the vidya but is torn between playing and losing muh coins?

As far as I know i'd have to stop mining to play games.

How do you guys balance this conflict?

Purposely misspelling words on a global board is not cute. It limits your potential audience and may limit the feedback that you are asking for.

Just think about how much each hour of gaming is costing you  Cheesy

Nah actually I leave it mining over night and if I wake up to a block I'll play games all day.  Well, unless I'm working.

I bought my first good GPU with the idea that Bitcoin would subsidize (and eventually pay for) the cost of the card. When I am not playing games, I earn money. I only lose about $0.40/hr by playing games.

That is one tremendous if.  Ten million mornings says your gaming days are over on that rig.
If you are solo mining on one video card, then stop.  Join a pool and actually get something in return for your shares/time/effort.

I owe my soul to the company store.

Obviously I'm not mining BTC, scrypt is a much better target for GPUs since ages ago.  Have solo mined just under $1k in the last month.

Get an Xbox 360 cheap with them going out. Trade games. Keep mining scrypt.
