What can I do about my mother not letting me play?

I want to know if I'm wrong, or is there some kind of adult code that doesn't let you do things for some reason.

I'm a 23yo man, I work, I colaborate in my mother's house (My parents separated on good terms.) I pay the bills, I help with the house chores, I cook for everyone some times, I think that at least I'm a decent human being. After 10y wanting I finally purchased my desktop for study and gaming, because my room is too small I had to place the pc outside of the room, on my free days I play when I don't have to study but I can't relax because everytime I play I get scolded for my mother, my father doesn't get bothered by it but my mother hates it and I don't understand why.

From my point of view I'm not doing nothing bad, like I'm working, I'm studing so I don't get stuck in a dead end job, I have my investment project basically I have projection in my life but when I have free time I like to play videogames and I feel like a criminal for doing something legal In my own house. I want to know if some of you have or had the same issue? Is there a solution or agreetment that you could pull out?

I tried to speak with her about it, she told me that I'm wating time, that I should do other stuff, I mean, I'm doing stuff but I can't do the other stuff everytime, but what is the issue? I'm not a drug dealer or something.

Am I wrong for playing videogames?

I'm living on my parents basement because I can't afford to move out at the moment. I work my 8h, pay my bills here and cooperate with the expenses, sometimes I pay everything out of my pocket because I want to do it, I do loundry, clean my stuff, make the food for the house sometimes.

Recently I purchased my pc for study and games, after 10y I finally purchased my pc by myself, while I'm not studing (which I'm paying by myself btw) I play videogames but I simply can't relax with my mother around, she just get upset about it for some reason, since I was young she just hates it. She purchased me an xbox 360 back then but she got upset every time I used that thing.

From my point of view I'm not doing something wrong, I'm being responsable I think but I get scolded just for playing, I want to ask for the non gamers and gamers with the same issue, is there something that you did to solve the issue? Solutions, Am I wrong? Maybe is my issue.

Edit: I'm 23
