It's funny, but I feel in the opposite position. To me, computers had become associated with work-only, so much that I needed a change. I decided to assemble a new machine for fun coding and maybe some games (though I probably won't really have much time for it). starting up the new Flight Sim feels great and gives me a different perspective, after staring at a screen of e-mails and calendar and presentation slides for hours.

I did this last year and I don't regret it for a second.

I've also developed a kind of higher standard for the games that I allow to take some of my time.

Praise be to Valve, as Proton has freed me from the tyranny of Windows.
