When Do You Find Time To Play?

I try to play every day. ?

Nowadays mainly only when i don't feel very well.

Since I have been on furlough from work coz of covid I have played almost everyday/evening. Even played it a full 24hrs coz I got so engrossed with the family I was playing ? it made me feel like I was a teenager again when I used to stay up and play sims 1 and 2 till 4/5am .
Before covid I normally only got the weekend to play.

I get home from work a bit late so I mostly play on weekends. If I know I just have an hour or two, I'd probably just browse through the gallery or play around in CAS. For builds or gameplay, I prefer to play when I know I can go a few hours uninterrupted. I like to immerse myself in the game and play with a full screen, ear buds on, sounds on, and I tune out everything else.

My husband is disabled and the main focus of my day. It's why I work from home even before the pandemic. I play when he's either painting or building kitbashed models, cast molding with the Hirst Molds he has and/or creating and painting terrain for tabletop miniatures. Or I play when he's sleeping or napping or when I'm not setting up doctors appointments or talking to doctors about his condition. Or when I am not working on making shorts, copy and commercials. Or when I'm not playing Vanguard, Magic, (or other card games) Warhammer 40k, Malifaux, or other tabletop miniatures games, LARPing or playing RPGs. The circle of gamers I play with would tell you if you just play video games you aren't a real gamer. But I disagree with their sentiments on the subject. I play when I have a minute here and there to spare.

I play the sims when I am not doing anything else.

i play both weekends and weekdays. I've been playing before work, on my days off and mostly during the day, but some during the evening.

It depends on how much work and college work I have going on. Sometimes I'll go through droughts where I need to not do anything other than work then I'll come back to it again. I've been playing every evening recently though because I've had loads of assignments in so no work on at the moment as we come into the Easter holidays. My husband's been joking I'm addicted.........

Weekends are usually the only time I can properly sit down and enjoy it. I rarely play during the week after work unless it's patch day or a pack release, just got too much to do.

I'm not playing SIms 4 right now. The game is laggier and repetitive to me, maybe in the future...
But, gamesi n general I play whenever I don't have soem responsabilities, but due to anxiety I tend to procrastinate and play even when I have responsabilities. Playing makes me feel calm and happier.

I both agree and disagree with their statement - many gamers who say that forget that for most other games, you need friends (usually of the gamer variety) to play them lol. Video games don't require that.

As a self-employed disabled person, I play when I want, whenever I want. It has even been helpful with scenes that weren't working just right, but I couldn't quite figure out why. It's often up and running while I work, and I take a break now and again as I need to. Or I go full bore and just escape into it for hours lol. Been a lot of the latter happening lately.
