I signed up for a Steam account sometime in 2012. Apparently I've spent 9% of my life since then playing games on there. That's all hours, not waking hours.

Probably not the best thing, right?

There are 168 hours in a week. 9% of that is 15 hours. Spending 15 hours a week on a hobby is not outrageous. I work with people who watch 40-50 hours of non-interactive television a week and then point and laugh at me for playing games 20 or so hours a week. Games that I play with friends, that teach critical thinking and boost reflexes.
