Obviously most people go outside every day or most days when going to work. I think you mean, how often do you have the chance to play, but instead, choose to go outside? Considering it's April and still getting down into the 20's and 30's here, I don't get out as much as I'd like. However, I have started taking the dog out for walks instead of just letting him out into the fenced in yard... instead of playing. When it gets warmer, then it's obviously time to do yard work instead of gaming. So yeah, I try to get outside several times per week vs just huddling indoors gaming to avoid the bitter cold.

As long as it's not raining, I go out for some fresh air every day. It's good for your health, throw in some exercise too, take the dog for a walk etc.

I have a low tolerance to cold so until it's consistently 20+C, I don't really like going out leisurely for more than a minute or two of fresh air. I have gone out a few times the past couple weeks specifically to see the trees and flowers and take pictures but it was uncomfortably cold still. If I lived somewhere that was 25-30C year round I'd be hanging out outside daily. Can't wait til summer

Having failed to secure a sugar mommy in my youth - a bit long in the tooth now for such shenanigans - I have to skip play time six times a week to go outside and do this thing we call 'work'.

If only my past self knew...

At lest on Sundays I skip playtime to do the forest thing, so I guess I have that going for me.

It is cold outside...

I only go outside to go to work or buy food. The real world has gone to crap and I don't want to participate any more, so I stay in and roam Tamriel instead.

My character spends a LOT of time outside doing quests, thank you very much.

As little as possible - I'm allergic to everything (including much sun on my skin). i'm no longer an outdoor person; after years of hunting, fishing, riding my horse, hiking - I've just got too many things to watch out for - and take meds for if I'm not careful.

After a day in town (an 80 mile round trip) I'm not well for the next few days because of the difference in pollens etc. And it's getting worse as I get older (mid 70s now).

I never have to skip playing the game to be able to go outside. The game doesnf control me. Oh, and I run or cycle almost every day.

I hope no one lets gaming control their lives.

I'll cast into a mud puddle, knowing there are no fish, because water needs a line in it......

Auldwulfe

Every day I have to go out to work.

Gaming is my hobby and as such a worthwhile part of my life these past 40 years, but no more than that. I don't have set "play times" but generally manage to play various 1-2 hour sessions daily. It's very rare for me to stay indoors all day, and we're just entering the gardening season so outdoor time will increase for that as well as enabling me to spend more grandparenting time kicking a ball around!

Apparently there is a whole world outside of video games, but graphics and story are not very good, also it takes a lot of efforts to do simplest things.

Too late for me. Daily, i play 2 mmos, record single player games and watch on youtube playthroughs of games i havent played.

Ha. Fun poll but I'm too particular to be able to answer. If I have structured play (plans to run a trial, do a dungeon, play with friends at a specific time) I would never skip to go outside because I made a commitment. However if I have free time on my own, going outside almost always wins when the weather is nice because I live in a temperate climate with lots of wintery and rainy days. The game will always be there.


I guess I can pick other.
