It's easy for each of us to look down our noses at how others spend their leisure time, but there's an important point to be made here: leisure time and wasted time are NOT THE SAME THING. Leisure is actually quite important. Grinding away constantly can lead to burnout, poor health, frayed relationships, etc. The trick is to find balance, to fill each part of your life in the most satisfying way but not to let one part overwhelm the others.

Between paid work, house/family work, exercise, etc. I work as hard as anybody else I know, and I still enjoy a good video game session. I'll be playing Horizon: Zero Dawn in a few minutes. It's a better hobby than sneering at others.
