That commute is a huge time sink, and it's costing you a huge amount of money as well. If you found a way to cut it down, you'd have more time for other things. You could cook yourself nice meals (or at any rate you can practice cooking nice meals, it actually takes some skill), or spend more time with other people, or both at the same time.

Even if you still feel that playing games is shameful (and it's no more shameful than any other type of entertainment), you'll be a lot better off.

Approaching it from the other side, perhaps your choice of games could be improved. You don't really say what games you play, but you can always find a less mindless thing to play. I recommend Factorio, it's amazing (http://www.factorio.com/).
