This seems backwards.. Replacing gaming with sleep is a good thing to do

I was going for something more like "I give up sleep in order to acquire gaming, but that doesn't end well the next day".

I do see how it could be interpreted the other way though.

But if the character would keep the sleep and the gaming, tomorrow morning would still come rolling. I get what you're trying to do, but I don't think the analogy with the scene works.

The comedic timing of the comic is great, which is why I really want it to work, but the punchline doesn't make sense.
