Sadly, he would rather play games than work on your common future. This is like swimming with a 150 pound toad on your back who also eats your food, a good job if you can get it... Analyze this as if you were speaking with a friend who had this exact problem - what would you tell him to do? From another point of view. you are creating a fail mode system for him to operate in. He has no success mode, apart from that of a tapeworm, just keep on suckin' on little bro, when he is sucked dry, find another host.

I still get the feeling that he has no bad intensions of "free-riding", just that he tries but cannot deliver. That's why I'm willing to give him a chance.

I agree with the "fail mode system" though

Try setting him tasks he must achieve, or no supper?
