How do you spend your time during loading screens?

I just finished eating dinner during three long loading screens in a row. At other times I read a book. What do you guys do? Pay some bills? Call a friend? Or a little bit of house cleaning perhaps?

✭✭✭My loading screens are no longer than about 10-15 seconds - anywhere I go. Sometimes it's pretty much instant.
I don't have time to really do anything.

✭✭✭Tab and look at FB, Memes or the forums, sometimes discord or telegram. Also have youtube up when I am not on ts so can look at that a bit more when I am on load screens.0 -
ChaosWotan✭✭✭✭✭Got a high-end gaming rig, but long loading screens started with the Jester festival. Very seldom a problem before that.1

✭✭If I'm in Cyrodiil and I get a loading screen.. well I just go to the local gym i.e. planet fitness and do a few rounds with the punching bag then help my bro by being a spotter & laugh while talking about new stuff in life. I later come back take a shower, text some mates and watch the loading screen for 10 more minutes to see it's finally NOT DONE. So I close the game and headbutt my ESO disc and try again.不動の Steadfast - Unwavering

✭✭✭✭When Im doing loading-screen-heavy activities (logging toons for hirelings/horses/writs) i tend to cook.
Log to a new toon, go stir my food, loading screen over. Then by the time I'm done with dinner, I've handled all the tedious bits of my daily ESO chores!Thrice Empress, Forever Scrub1 -

Actually, it's quite noticeable. Friend and I were doing the Festival quest where you throw roses on grumpy guys. Since it's not shared credit, we usually "race" to see who can get done first. After hitting the first 2 guys, I head back to the NPC to turn in the quest instead of porting to the next area. My friend is already gone. I realize this and head back to the portal. By the time we hit the third town, I've caught up to him thanks to my fast loading screens when I port. I actually end up beating him back to the quest NPC for turn in by a good 20 seconds.1 -
Alarra✭✭✭Loading screens for me are sometimes as short as a couple seconds, no longer than a minute - probably 10-20 on average. I spend my time during them making edits to the UESP wiki - most recently, I'm adding card art from ES:Legends.UESP - Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995.

✭✭✭✭✭I'm thinking of taking up Crochet. My grandma crocheted me a blanket when I was little. It took her about 6 months to finish but it was the best Christmas present ever. Go Grandma!
I think i could probably make one of those per loading screen and start selling them on etsy.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭I don't have any long loading screens, but if people are doing other things like reading forums, running Youtube, messaging on social media etc while running the game then that might explain why they have long loading screens in the first place (unless they're using a second computer with no drain on the internet connection)
!
People often forget to mention the 15 browser windows they have open, along with the 3 other people in the house who are all using the wifi at the same time that they're playing an under-performing game
