I also worked at Software Etc.. back in the 90s (mid). I guess I understand the time thing but that will come and go. Right now, I come home, eat dinner, open mail, talk to my wife for a few minutes and then I either workout at the gym for an hour or get right to the office to play videogames. LOL! If my favorite TV show is playing that day, then I watch that with the wife. My daughter is 14 and stays to herself now so no need to tend to her as if she was 5yrs old. The only time I really don't find time to play games is when my job is requiring me to implement something that I have to do heavy research on and it consumes me. But those times, come and go. The yard? Meh.. I hired someone to do that for me last year so I can free up more time. Swimming pool? Same thing.
I don't have any other hobbies other than TV, workout, and videogames so I don't really have many choices to choose from.
And yes, my wife complained alot about me playing videogames. But eventually, she realized that she only watches TV, or reads a book.. so what else is there to do during a work week? Now she either joins me with watching me play a very very small number of videogames (she watched me play through The Walking Dead: S2 this xmas), or I end up watching some TV with her.
