I’m an older dude whose phase of staying up all night playing was back in the early console days. I prefer in-person tabletop RPGs like D&D, Traveller and Call of Cthulhu. Just not into computer games anymore, but that and social media seem to be most people’s primary computer activities.

Game chatter has changed over the years - I used to see a lot of talk about graphics quality and massively powerful hardware - maybe that was during a period when it was rapidly improving, I dunno. But the current focus seems to be more on game industry business decisions sucking.

Anyway I’m just wondering how common it is to use computers more for coding and other technical non-game stuff.

    I’d estimate gaming is <5% of my use, probably lower.on my PC

    Id say maybe <10% on my phone

    I have no console. I had a WiiU as my last one and sold it during Covid as I never iswed it.

    Have been thinking aboit a Steam Deck

    Am old as fcuk, used to wrote my own games in machine code on my Commodore 64.
