Mostly work. I do some odd side jobs and render video for a local photography store.

Mainly college work. Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, Premiere, After Effects and Autodesk Maya.

Other than that, just your regular PC things. Internets and stuff.

TBH I hardly ever use this PC for gaming at all, sadly. Don't have too much time for that.

Sometimes I record some games, but I have yet to do something with that in recent years..

Other than that I used to do digital drawing and  video editing (haven't done that in months at this point..)

 

I do still program quite a bit.

But most my time on my PC is spent just browsing this forum and nowadays also a bit of 'data stuff'. E.g. I want to upgrade my GPU, so I made a sheet compiling some numbers...

Well, I don't really have a gaming rig just a general purpose PC that has decent hardware. I mostly use it for college work but around 30% of the uptime is spent on gaming. Do people really have single purpose gaming machines ?

Not really single purpose gaming machines, more like PCs built to be able to game.
