This.
Lifting weights as a hobby is no greater than playing games as a hobby. They're hobbies.
Well, that's incorrect haha.
Lifting improves your health and can make your life last longer. If not longer, than at least healthier in terms of the compression of morbidity (I believe that's what the idea is called).
Gaming can actually have negative effects on your life. Sedentary lifestyle, bad posture usually, etc.
That being said, you do you and whatever makes you happy.
I personally don't game as I spend way too much time in the library studying my ass off. The little free time I have is used for lifting, cooking meals, and watching tv shows while relaxing.
