In a world such as ours, internal struggles and external struggles and challenges, writing can be playing, but sometimes... you need to simply PLAY. It can distracting and detract from your writing work, but with a bit of discipline, I believe you can do both, enjoy both.
I have NO MAN'S SKY. I have bases all over the universe connected by teleporters. I like flying around both planets and space, seeing what's out there, or what's on all these planets presented to me. NO MAN'S SKY is one of those games you want to spend some time on.
I also play RUST, typically a PVE server where I can explore and build and survive without worry of getting constantly killed and looted by another online player. THAT is a game I can jump into, spend a few minutes rummaging about, then getting back to my "sleeping bag" and logging off.
Gaming also can tweeze stories out of me. No, I don't make them game-related, but playing a post-apoc adventure games can make a light bulb go on, and drum up my own story ideas in that genre.
Write. Game. Game. Write. With a bit of discipline to keep both ships afloat, I think it can be done.
