"So, I woke up today. Got my coffee, family went to sleep, and I have a free afternoon." What kind of schedule or different timezone does this author have with their family? I am trying to imagine a family that either goes to bed in the early afternoon or a person who wakes up in the evening to start their day.

His other hobby is anaesthesia? Maybe a young child that naps in the day? That doesn’t really give a whole free afternoon though. 2 hours at best.

  Or family is the cat.

Spain probably. Their siestas are as legendary as they are mandatory :)

That is weird enough. But also the fact that he seems to be celebrating that is odd. Avoiding to spend time with your family shouldn’t be something you enjoy.

  It can be both. You can enjoy family time, and still be happy with alone time. I love getting up at 5 am, when everyone is still asleep and the house is still quiet. But I also love spending time with the family once everyone's day starts. Both are possible.

  wanting time away from your loved ones doesn't seem the least bit weird to me. Like sure you love your wife and kids, but being with them every second of every day is probably too much for most sane people. Especially if you have hobbies that demand a lot of focus time.

This game is so well crafted that I know people who don’t even like video games but bought a console just to play it — and once they finished, they sold everything. I feel like with the part you highlighted and this quote here that we are reading a blog post from an alternate dimension or something.

  I sold my Nintendo Switch when I stopped playing with it. Then a year or so later I really wanted to play Breath of the Wild again, because it's just so beautiful, and bought another Switch just for that.
