That would qualify as "somewhere else" - as would a simple subquery in FROM.

they escaped my mind for some reason! :-) 

WITH diffs AS (
  SELECT
      gid,
      uid,
      played - LAG(played) OVER(PARTITION BY gid ORDER BY played) AS diff
  FROM moves
  WHERE uid = 1
)
UPDATE users SET avg_time =
(
  SELECT
    AVG(diff)
  FROM diffs
 GROUP BY uid
)
WHERE uid = 1;
