I should have added that I limit my playing time: morning to early afternoon. After that, I read, do housework (yes, I am also allergic to house dust), cook dinner, read some more. Can't cross stitch any more; only way to manage the small stitches I prefer is to use a magnifier - and that causes vertiginous episodes (totally UNfun).

Depends if it is winter or not. I am inclined to hibernate in winter. If the weather is ok I like to go for a walk or work on the garden. BTW I am a pensioner.

I has three dogs so I at LEAST have to go out several times a day for potty time. I usually walk around with them and check on my plant babies. Now that spring is here, I gots lots of gardening clean up and things to get done outside. I'm fortunate enough to live in the woods so it's always lovely out there. Well... until the mosquitos show up.
Sometimes in winter, when I can't garden with plants, I remove icicles from the house eaves and plant them in arrangements so I suppose I still garden in the winter!

Playtime for me is whenever I am in the mood to play, which is usually in the afternoon after I've had coffee and worked out on my exercise bike, then run whatever errands I have for the day. It's rare that I don't go out somewhere for something.

i mean, it's not an incorrect statement

Outside? Like, a side that's out? There is such a thing?

Er this thread is kind of inspiring me to suggest a new gameplay feature: a player selectable time limit and lock out from playing (eg after two hours you can't play again until the next day).

I know they'll never do it because they want people to inhabit the game. But prioritising a video game over the outside world is a bit alarming.

i have a terminal laziness problem too and i never go outside ever unless it's to go grocery shopping (although i haven't done so in a couple months or so) or to walk to gas station for food

i'm an expert level hermit recluse who despises human society

I used to always love to go outside for nice relaxing walks around our neighborhood! but sadly, due to financial and family difficulties, we had to move to a somewhat safe but less reputable neighborhood.

*Sigh* I still miss it but at least i have all the good memories i have kept throughout the years

What is this "outside" you speak of?

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.

As said in other treads already (sorry for the repeat), I have a busy real life with many non-gaming activities that I do love. I also have a family, friends, a dog and a garden all loved too. All in all, even if I play on computers since decades, it never have any priority for me.

Out...where?
