I have the same job as him (just in a different country) - we dont earn a lot. According to statistics im a few hundred over the avarage income for my city - which isnt bad dont get me wrong but its very demanding work with all-in contracts (no paid overtime) and doesnt pay enough imo for signing your life and free time away
but the deck helped me a ton in reclaiming some gaming time
I have the same job as you just in austria - the steam deck is a god-sent for slower night shifts but please dont play not for broadcast while you work as literally that job
when the game came out my friends wanted to play it with me to “see what my job is like” - they enjoyed it a lot but i played it once and only watched them play afterwards. IT FELT TOO MUCH LIKE WORKING
There are a few “gamey” mechanics in there that dont work like that IRL but my brain went into work mode instantly and the game stressed me out way too much - its remarkably close to the real thing
If you night tv-show nightshift game recs i recommend dave the diver and death trash - those are my former and current “its a slow shift” games
Lorry driving is much more relaxing than live-directing
I did enjoy the story a ton though - just not playing it. My friends still finished it and even made me play the last level “because its too hard for us” haha
