On the weekends, mostly. My studies are always getting in the way, and there are few weeks I'm able to dedicate some time to gaming. The spare time I eventually have during the weeks I spend it in some kind of sport, watching TV series (they never end!) or stuff like that, reading, sleeping and here in the Vault. Sadly, I don't have that much of spare time, so I tend to relegate much of my recreation to the weekends, filling them completely.
I thought I was the only one feeling guilty about not playing Skyrim, ergo posting here. I recently joined my MBA and it has been hectic! Never time to play, and yeah if you're gonna play skyrim, you need at least 4 hours per session (imo anyway), and that's available only on weekends, if you're not planning to go out. I rarely spend time here on the site too, and I really do feel angry that it's been taken away from me. Currently, I am on a self-imposed break after term end exams, and boy am I playing the shit out of it. Feeling triumphant, well at least till I decide to go back to college again.
Anyway thanks for the post. While I may have not directly answered the question (that's because I'm looking for the answer too), feels good to know there are people struggling to maintain work-life-game balance!
I am disappoint! How can you people make builds and stuff with so little time to actually play!? D: YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT! Here are some tips:
Sacrifice and hour of sleep, break up with your significant other(or stop looking for one), use the barter system to sell your children to a traveling merchant in exchange for... idk maybe a cow and 4 chickens...
Honestly I'd go nuts if I had so little playtime, first thing I make women I date aware of is that I play and remind them that I'm pausing my games to reply or talk to them. I can't play any rpg for just an hour.. that's... that's crazy talk...
