I like playing it, so I play it when I want to for as long as I want to

I just.........play if and when I feel like it. There's really no deeper motivation behind it all. I will say that gaming in general takes up much more of my time than it once did since I don't get around or go out like I used to but honestly, it's far cheaper than hanging out at a bar or pool hall until the wee hours of the morning.

I’m a high school AP student I literally have no time for myself most of the time. Caffeine is a good enough substitute for sleep so I can do something other than homework for a few hours

For me playing video games is the cheaper alternative to doing other things though that is quickly changing.... Since I don't go out don't do much don't hang out with people video games are my window into the world... It's less stressful usually and I get to experience all kinds of stuff you otherwise wouldn't in real life cuz you know real life sucks and work sucks and I don't have to spend money to sit in front of the TV and explore several universes within the comfort of my home when it feels like every time I walk out of the house it's costs me 50 to $100 just to basic.... So whenever I'm not working or sleeping I'm usually playing games I do get out of the house but if I don't have to it's usually cheaper just to stay in and play
