Current Events > When asked 'what are your hobbies' when do video games come up?

(+) Yeah! (+)

One of the first things you mention?
In the middle of your list?
Towards the end?
Don't mention them at all until you know the person better? >_>

video games is the only thing i have that can even count as a hobby. when i get asked, i tend to say i dont really have any

I usually say movies, videogames, running, karaoke, vacation/travel, and going to breweries and such. Not sure of the exact order.

It's usually one of the first hobbies I list since it's the one I spend the most time on.

It comes up as second or third when hobbies come up.

It depends who is asking the question. If I have the person pegged as bit of a nerd then it's one of the first things I say. If the person isn't a nerd then it's one of the last things I say.

It's the first thing I bring up. After that is reading I guess since I barely watch shit or listen to music these days.

obviously at around the 4:34 mark in the conversation

Usually my top 5 is caring for my dogs, riding a motorcycle, going for runs or a walk, reading manga or novels, & then video games. Gotta put the less sedentary stuff first

Back when I was dating, that was definitely my approach. But I still did always state videogames at some point, because "buh bye" if she has an issue with it.

Yeah mutual hobbies are incredibly important for a couple. You don't have to share every hobby, but having 3-4 both people like is incredibly important for a healthy relationship. You'll always have something you can share, & something different for when you're alone

I personally believe it is important to align on roughly half of your interests and hobbies. This is because I think it is super important to do some stuff alone and to do some stuff with friends. Balance between your partner, friends, and self is crucial.

But you need to both be cool and not criticize the interests of the other person or stop them from pursuing them.

Yeah that's pretty fair as well

Can't think of many times someone has asked that, but I'd probably bring up video games first. Of course, I also don't really like playing video games anymore either.

If it's a professional job interview, never.

Magnets, ghouls, video games.

No specific order, I really don't think about it I just state them

Lately, it doesn't.

I'll pick up a controller to play maybe once every other week.
