Are videogames still your primary hobby?

I don't think they've been my primary hobby since High School.

I'm a pretty big mix between tv/movies/games. I'd say more TV than anything else. 

I really wish that I was doing more gaming. But on some level, there's not a lot that I have a big urge to play.

It was last year, but this year I think I've played less than 40 hours so far. Something just isn't hitting with gaming this year for me.

I think reading is now my primary hobby. On book 11 or 12 of the year so far

i guess it depends on your definition but i don't think i've ever had a "primary hobby".  i like to dabble in all sorts of things instead of dedicating to just 1 or 2 things.  can you call something your "primary hobby" if it only occupies 15% of your free time even it that is the largest percentage?

soccer coach
scout leader
fitness
gardening
baking

carpentry
dabbler i'd guess

so like,.. i move around a lot on sort of a project basis.   so like with baking my most recent project is i'm trying to perfect doughnut making.  for carpentry i'm in the design phase of making some either built in cabinets or free standing cabinets along with a new fireplace mantel.  although my kitchen table is getting kind of shabby so i'm might build a new table first.  i'm in a pretty general maintenance mode for gardening right now as it is spring and but my blueberries didn't do great and i'm looking into possibly replacing them with cherry trees.  and just as an example of dabbling i've done things like:
- build my own bow and arrow
- took up making chainmail
- built a hovercraft


it's a wonderful age we live in.  the internet can teach you anything and i like to try things out for myself.
