I liked northern things, and thought she looked cute in the fur hood, etc. I hadn't played the game, even though there was the free weekend event a while back. I saw Whiskeypaint had a cute one of her.

northern things? Ah I see. that also makes sense with your book cover piece you did recently. I bet whiskeypaint is now rolling in overwaifu dough. 
I like overwatch, 
havent played much. My friends don't shut up about it. Im becoming very... well... I could take a large amount of time away from overwatch and not miss it right now.

That answers the other question: The way to do stuff is to do it. Sometimes you need to take a break, and that's okay, but instead of spending an entire day playing video games, it's better to spend an hour. I used to have television, but when my son was born aside from watching Treehouse network (Thomas, etc) I stopped watching TV. TV is fun, and good, and chillin' but you can't work, have a kid, take care of business at home and also paint if you spend a lot of time playing games or watching TV (these days you would call it youtube). i used play Guild wars, and Guild wars 2 and spent many an evening up until 3:00 am,. etc And having a lot of fun, too. I was pretty good. But one day I made the mistake of typing "/age" and in Guild wars that tells you exactly how many hours you've been playing since the dawn of time...
 [insert ominous music here]
And I didn't play as much as my GF did! So while playing Guild wars 2 they had this thing in game "doing your dailies" - little goals you do each day for a reward. so I asked my self 2 things. And these things are so simple, and yet so profound, I actually will have to start a new paragraph for each:
  1) What if I had put all of those hours into practicing art or completing paintings?
  2) What if I just did my daily in the game, and then Did my daily in real life?

What that meant was that for a while, I would come home from work and slam through my dailies really quickly, say a quick "hi" to my online friends, help out only on Saturday Guild Missions, and then do a bit of artwork each evening after dinner and after the kids were in bed. then later I just stopped playing altogether once I realized that even doing my dailies for daily rewards actually got me nothing in real life whatsoever. like absolutely nothing. and yet doing a drawing and being frustrated by it and puzzling over it was still fun to do in real life and later I had a drawing to show for it. I miss my online friends dearly, and had a lot of fun in that game, especially just hanging out and helping out people and stuff. But (I'll go on later sometime, hahaha)

I can see your sentiment. It is rather profound, and I must say that I have similar experiences and asked myself these same questions. Its interesting though, I came up with different answers. 
See, I am... Rather depressive. 
I wound up opting for the more fun option. For example, Skyrim. I have played about 3 profiles, and each about 250 hours each. Thats a lot of time. But rather what mattered to me was not that I earned anything, but that I was happy and having fun. Admittedly I like making art. But I can't say that it has ever really made me happy. 
I also had many profound experiences within these games as well, things that absolutely touched my soul. 

In fact my current regiment of uploading artwork as is probably because I dont have videogames as a way to alleviate my depression. So my depression is intense right now. But see I also had no real world achievement to cling to to ever give value to or gauge the value of real world achievements. Even today... Im not sure what real world achievement means. Currently as it stands, I have the idea of monetary achievement to become independent. That all I got for real world achievement. 

I know some people say that doing things like ART would immortalize them in the zeitgeist or history. But in that sense you are only immortal until you die, and everyone forgets you. Even then, that achievement doesn't always apply to people such as sewage workers, and applies to artists just as likely. So, I don't see this as a factor. 

A myriad of similar reasons pop up that usually don't make sense to me. We come down to the whole, "doing things for yourself." which I suppose is the answer to most of human existence. But similarly so, I also played games for myself. I mean that is self evident by the way I tend to choose single player games. Just like my achievements in real life or in games, none follows me in the grave. 

So yeah. my only understanding of real life achievement comes in the form of independence. I think its amazing that we have to earn the right for people to leave me the fuck alone! So with that in mind, I never really saw anything to work for. I did artwork because I was sad, and got better only because I was sad alot. 
I played games to enjoy my life. 
But later I figured I must be a burden to my mother not caring to achieve anything, so, taking art as my profession I got the goal of getting out of the house as to not let my mother hate me.
Eventually I became numb to her opinions and just longed for independence so I can focus on happiness. 

huh... I think maybe I digressed a little.

I also generally choose single player games. I like the immersive fantasy element. Feeling the things that are there, again, similar to reading a book! I get stubborn playing games, too. I like a challenge, and don't like to cheat. I try 50 ways to get through something, with out having to get more firepower, lol. the right combination of skills and stuff can get me through these Drauger!

I do that all the time. I love making wierd specialty characters to tackle challenges in certain ways, and see how they have deficits. I love it cuz it makes my character feel more real.

The beauty of that game. I did a magic using Breton for my first main character (I had done a Nord dude, (false start) but shot Lydia in the back with an arrow as a Sabre Cat attacked her on the way up to High Hrothgar and I didn't even know at the time that I had healing stuff, etc. I had no clue.). My Breton I thought would be cool to try out conjuring magic. Wow - cool. then I made a Khajit thief character and did the Riften thieves guild story. Then I made an Argonian with dual wielding scimitars and practiced forging and made Dragon armour, and oh, yeah, I guess I had a Fourth character, too because I made another character more recently and wanted to try out alchemy and enchanting. He was one of those elfs with the ancestral fire skill. Holy crappola - he has some wickedly powerful stuff. He kicks ass more than my original magic using guy because by the time I made him, I had figured out more of the tricks of the game, giving him armour to enhance his destruction magic, and stuff, so he can practically do unlimited fireballs and stuff, and not use up any magic. Frightening. the games best qualities are it's silly ones, too. i didn't know what I was doing with my first characters. I went in this one area, in the palace and found like NO treasures hardly at all, so I said, screw it, and picked up every bottle of wine I could find figuring I would get out and sell them to the wine merchant lady ..  BUT turns out it was the start of some Daedric quest, and then everything in my inventory including the dozens of full and empty bottles somehow ended up as quest items, that I couldn't sell, hahaha. it was a running gag for me and my GF. i also had a bunch of crap from the Dibella temple that was also stuck in my inventory forever, like some giant toes, etc. By the time I got to this last character I was making potions with those toes worth 1000 - 2000 gold each - that character is loaded!

Oh yeah. i remember quest items would get stuck in your inventory. it got so bd some people would become encumbered by all the quest items the acquired! Bethesda later patched that so that they are weightless. But then it had this horrible problem that a lot of quest items would have names and stuff of regular items, people would get confused trying to complete quests... SO THEN THEY PATCHED IT AGAIN!
so that all quest items cannot be DROPPED until the quest is over. That also applied to the weight though! They would be weightless until, the quest was over... upon completing a quest it was normal for me to immediately become encumbered and then have to figure out why XD!
