What do you do outside work?

And not only things I would enjoy doing but also, all the chores that need to be done (laundry, dishes, cleaning, the list is very long).

I'm both confused and irritated by this post.

I agree. I never run out of things to do. I always run out of time first.

OP, you must not have a house/yard, because if you did, you would ALWAYS have something that needed your attention!

Learn scuba diving
Bike 100 miles
Run a marathon (popular one)
learn an instrument and perform in front of a live audience
paint a portrait
learn a new language
find a local organization to volunteer with
write a novel or poetry

Let me tell you, I did ALL of the things you listed, except writing a novel. So, now you have to tell me why it is better to do such things instead of playing video games?

When playing video games is what makes you happy, then play video games! We're all going to die, rather sooner than later and, seriously, nobody cares what you did with your life, except you yourself.
