uh, factorio just hits the neurons right, idk what to tell you.
Minecraft just hits my autism where it hurts. I’m a simple man, you entertain my neurons, and i will be happy.
Rust can take while to load. I swear a few hundred of those hours were AFK.
one of my steam friends has a program that farms steam hours, just for the shock factor
this is considered strange behavior in my house
Sooo Furry Hitler 2 is not as good as Furry Hitler 1?
The sex scenes have fewer fetishes
The fact that he does this is the shock factor.
On the other hand I purge friends from my list regularly because I feel too shy
Like aw no they are gonna perceive me
Steam just tracks how long the program is running. My old rig played Dark Souls 3 24/7 sometimes because the .exe file would glitch and stay open until I manually terminated it. I averaged 168 hours a week coming back from a 2 week vacation once.
Yeah, my friend has this same issue. She has been playing The Sims 4 for like seven months now.
I would hate that so much that I would get Dark Souls removed from my account.
I have like 3700 hours in factorio, but I also leave it running when I’m not around… like an idle game
this is why we use dedicated servers my friend. You’re supposed to load it into a dedicated server when you’re getting to the megabase scale.
I think im around 2000 without ever leaving it idle…
Leaving a game running in the backvround while doing other things still adds up
I have several hundred hours in PAYDAY 2 because I didn’t have heat one winter and the main menu kept my room warm lol
The only game I have that many hours in is because I left it open the whole day while I was working to take 5 minute breaks to play it.
i have 1200h in skyrim, 1000 of which i clocked in because as pre-teen who was yet to learn that being trans is a thing i unknowingly used it to escape dysphoria. can’t feel bad if i’m spending most of my days as male cat, the chosen one at that!
I wouldn’t be surprised if basically every person with over 1k hours in a game isn’t seeking some sort of escapism, not counting the anomalies like people leaving servers running etc.
I suppose every minute in a game is escapism of some sort, but escapism from dysphoria or something else significant, I think would be common.
My friend just shared this with me:
Omg, I’ll share this with them and say they have rookie numbers haha
How ?
I ask myself the same thing! I wish I had a singular game I loved as much as they love FF14
16009 hours for those playing at home.
And still not maxed smh… I absolutely loved my time playing rs2, formed much of personality, but I could never invest that much time into a game again. 😔
Ha true enough, though I did have Max Cape before the first time I quit, which was before Archaeology. I went back for a little to try that but never got it to 120. Necromancy I never tried.
Love rs3,I should play my account again
Ironman btw
There isn’t even 2k hours worth of content in XIV
I wonder what your friend does. My guess is they’re an altoholic or they just RP every day, perhaps even ERP.
I guess some of it could be idling.
Pretty shitty that you immediately assume the worst of people, just for having a game they enjoy.
I’m not sure if that was a joke but I laughed.
“I bet that guy roleplays”
‘Why would you accuse him of such heinous behavior???’
lol
I personally wish I could roleplay and get into it, id seriously e playing more ff if I could
Yeah I’ve never actually RPed in FF and I think I’m approaching 2k hours now… Lots of existing, it’s a chatroom with more dumbness and random adventures mixed in
I did it in person when I was in like the third grade. A girl four years older than me in my neighborhood would sneak onto the elementary school playground and just take turns describing what our OCs were doing in the story while we swung on the swing set. I can’t remember any plotlines, only visualizations.
A typical working year is approximately 2,000 hours, just for context.
That is nuts.
Woo, means I can officially add Warframe to my work experience (2.7k)!
I only have 16,000 hours on record for Eve online. it’s ok I guess, not sure I’d recommend it.
o7 pilot, keep those numbers up
That amount of work would qualify you as a master tradesman in many fields.
A typical apprenticeship is 6-8k
I only have 16,000 hours on record for Eve online. it’s ok I guess, not sure I’d recommend it.
I leveled up my Excel skill because of EVE, so that could be a legit resume entry unoe. (Not because the Overview is a giant table, I mean, I made an actual spreadsheet for Jita trading 😂).
I know WoW guild leaders that turned that experience into a resume point. “Managed a large group of disconnected people to accomplish group tasks”
If they can pull that off then you can pull this one.
In college I would study between rounds of civ and binding of isaac. These days I’ll use a rougelike or stardew or something as something to do while listening to an audiobook when the weather isn’t fit for biking
I leave the game running at night while I sleep
Also all day while in doing chores and stuffed. That way I can jump in and out faster as I have time between tasks.
I have over 1,900 hrs on Deep Rock Galactic.
The key is persistence.
Rock and Stone! oT
3500 here. Actually, the key is procrastination.
Rock and stone! It never gets old oT
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?! oT
If you don’t rock and stone, you ain’t comin’ home! oT
ROCK AND STONE, TO THE BONE
The only games I have over 1000 hours in are games that I’ve owned for more than 10 years and are online. TF2, Counter-Strike, Arma 2 and 3, Rocket League…
I love Souls games and have played the shit out of every single one; but they average 300-500 hours of total playtime.
Warframe is a hell of a drug.
It’s occasionally fun to hop into for a bit but I didn’t really like what they did with the last update. Mainly cause I hate the drifter…
