For those of us who still play games, when do you play them?

[entremet]

I mostly play on weekends these days. No work to wake up to so I can do some late night sessions. Early morning Saturday's are also good. Early being relative lol as I sleep in until 9am.

Sunday's not so much. That's my chore day and getting ready for the work week.

I can't do weekdays much other than some short Switch sessions.

Gaming still beats TV and movies for me as my media consumption hobby. Books edge it out though. But I read on my commute.

 

[Tonypark]

Weekend mostly from 4 to 8 hours a day sometimes. 1 or 2 hours during week days but it is extremely rare.

I barely watch netflix or tv anymore.

 

[John Rabbit]

It's far and away my primary form of entertainment so almost every day.

 

[Polioliolio]

Hm... I played captain toad for 15 min last week.

Smash will probably put me back into a gaming mode..

 

[5taquitos]

These days maybe 20-30 minutes on my Vita a couple times a week before falling asleep.

 

[tenderbrew]

with kids and family, early morning weekends and late night weekends are the time

late night weekdays work, but i'm usually exhausted

Playing games

I'm vaguely aware of such activity.

Click to shrink...

Ain't it the best? Wish I had more time for it.

 

[Herb Alpert]

In the evening when kids are asleep, on my commute or on when I have a day off during the week.
I mostly can't play on week ends.
Playing on the TV isn't an easy task too

 

[Ex-Psych]

During Transit/Commute

And weekends.

 

[AppleKid]

At least 1-2 hours each weekday unless I am working OT that week. Weekends usually average 3-5 per day depending on plans, chores, and local multiplayer gaming opportunities.

So I guess my weekly range ends up being ~10-20 hours. Although it definitely spikes above 20 when I stumble across a game that really hooks me

 

[Buff Beefbroth]

After work. Usually 6-10 most days, unless it's a particularly social week.

 

[Neoxon]

Only during weekends & holidays. It used to be the rule of my household, but now I just roll with it since I need to focus on college during the week.

 

[Vesper]

Every day for at least a couple hours, weekends more.

 

[Father Kratos]

Not able to get enough time these days, so playing on Friday and Saturday night for a good 4-5 hours each. In a way, I'm liking this schedule as by the time Friday evening comes, I begin to have the craving to play and hence enjoy it more.

 

[skeezx]

single and childless and still pretty much have no time. two hours -- at the very max -- for unwinding after work, and if i really dig the game i'll cram it into the weekends

i can't wrap my head around how people can 'platinum' so many games in such short order. like, i'm barely nibbling on RDR2 when everybody else has been through every crevice of it. but different people, different habits

 

[Bhonar]

basically every single day. I'm single and never been married or never had any kids

so on work nights, that means from about 7:00pm to 2:00am. minus time to eat dinner and sometimes take a nap for 1 or 2 hours

on my two non-work days, pretty much all day long if I want

I only watch sports on TV, but I have my TV setup in the same room as my PC so I can watch it in the background at the same time

 

[NovusTerminus]

I work third shift, so I play them on my days off overnight, and sometimes for a few hours before I go to work, but I try to balance my time between gaming and my main hobby which is art. That is the tough part.

 

[Knight in Shining Armani]

Every day if I feel like it/have some to play. No social duties.

 

[StuBurns]

Since I only play single player stuff, and I have strange taste, I probably only play around eight games a year, but when I do, if I'm really enjoying it, it play it pretty much all my free time until I'm done. Right now I'm playing thru RDR2 at a snails pace, because it's dull, but if RE2 grabs me as I suspect, I'll probably go thru both campaigns launch week.

 

[zombiejames]

Whenever I'm not working and evenings. I can get a good 12-16 hours a week in if I'm really into what I'm playing.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Mostly at work (probably 4 hours a night). Then a couple hours in the evening at home. I could easily put 60 hours in a week but I try to balance time between other hobbies as well.

 

[HanSoloCup]

10pm-2am. Which is around an hour or 2 after the kids all go to bed. It's hard to play every day, because I'm up by 6:30, but I usually manage a couple of days a week.

 

[JusDoIt]

Pretty much every night for an hour or two. Sometimes it's only 15 minutes of fighting games. I never have long gaming sessions, but I game almost daily.

 

[cyress8]

Almost everyday if possible. Good way to doze off on the couch. ( I have so many fucking hours on games because of this. )

 

[Clear]

10pm to around 2am on work nights. Weekend is up in the air

 

[iceblade]

Every night for about an hour (assuming I'm not too tired) just before I sleep. Also, during lunch breaks, and on a day off, for 2-3 hours (depending on the day and mood). It takes a bit of a while to get through longer titles but it's still doable.

 

[tiebreaker]

I only work 30 hours a week at the moment. So, still quite a lot of time to play. Play games usually in the evening.

 

[ChristopherDX]

Weekends I have a leave dad alone time for a couple of hours

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

Weekdays after work. Weekends all day.

 

[Mediking]

Usually when I get off at work or... almost always on Saturday

 

[AaronMT]

Usually 8PM to 11PM. Gives me enough time to make dinner and prep for the next day.

 

[Deleted member 34873]

When I should be sleeping.

 

[Xeonidus]

My son goes to bed pretty early but I have to spend time prepping food and such for the next day. Usually hang out with the wife for a bit before she goes to bed. If I'm not too tired I'll play for a bit. Longer on the weekends.

 

[Chopchop]

After the kid goes to bed.

 

[Rob2K19]

During the day when I have free time. Considering my plans for the future, that will shift to late night, which is my anime time.

 

[SpottieO]

I play almost exclusively at night once my wife has gone to bed. Between work, wife and family I really don't have time to play during the day ever. Switch is a god send for me as it allows me to play short bursts and just put it to sleep when I'm done.

 

[butman]

Monday to Friday after work.
Weekends when i can.

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

At least 3-4 hours a day when I get off work if nothing is going on. Only when something like Red Dead comes out I'll play everyday from the time I get home til I go to bed until I beat it.

 

[K Samedi]

Depends on the games. If a game is really good I can play every day when ever I get the opportunity. Usually its an hour before
going to sleep in bed or half an hour in the dumpster. Sometimes I play at work during breaks with colleagues. I have a wife and a kid so I dont get much time but it can get stressful at work sometimes so its a good relaxation point in my daily routine.

 

[Strike]

A few hours a day. Every other day. Used to be at least 5 to 10 hours every day, but I work more now and I'm often too tired to do it.

 

[PSqueak]

Mostly at night after work, sometimes during lunch break if i manage to squeeze some time and while the laundry is being done on sundays.

 

[NowhereFaded]

I play from 3 to 430 am Monday through Friday and on weekends from about 5 am til the family wakes up.
The early bird gets the PWN!!
TaterPop1980 on Xbox if u care to join me .

 

[AnimeJesus]

30-60 minutes with a cup of coffee after I wakeup...will probably stop doing that when I finish Red Dead. 1-2 hours before going to bed...thats usually only when I have a game Im really engrossed in which at the moment is Red Dead.

 

[sph3re]

Almost never during week days. I squeezed in maybe an hour of OG Deus Ex before bed last night. I play mostly on weekends, when I'm not out of the house.

 

[Hieroph]

Usually a couple of hours at the end of the day. Sometimes more than a couple of hours...

 

[PaulloDEC]

Usually an hour or two an evening on weekdays. Sometimes less or more depending on whether I'm really into a show or want to watch a movie.

On weekends, varies a lot. Sometimes none, sometimes I'll spend half the day playing.

 

[TheBeardedOne]

I have a messed up internal clock, so it can be at 7am, or 4pm or even 3:30am. Depends on how I've slept, what my sleeping schedule has become and how much work I have to do.

 

[Adathir]

I try to play at least a couple of hours a day on the week days that I'm not too busy, then on the weekends if I'm lucky I will spend most of the day playing some combination of pc+console games.

 

[UsoEwin]

I don't work anymore and I don't have kids so basically whenever.
