Then the universe is jealous.

are you a games journalist or a youtube/twitcher?

No, but I make games, and playing them is a part of my "research".

The perks of being a game developer: having the "I'm doing research" excuse along the venerable "my code's compiling"

I wish I could tell everyone I wasn't wasting time I was researching.

I am sure if I made games the last thing I'd want to do is play them in my spare time.

Well, when I work on my game, it doesn't feel game-like at all. I'm just coding pretty abstract stuff about voxels and packing cubes for 8 hours. Nothing really feels gamey (yet). It's still a joy to come home and play a few games to relax.
