This hit so hard lol. It took me a WEEK to get FC housing for myself and my friends, nonstop clicking on that placard from 9am to 9pm.
Every. Day.
I'm lucky to be an at home college student that has the ability to do so. I just had junk food and pot to help, with Game Grumps in the background playing. I feel for people that have to work and stuff, less time to 'compete'.
