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
Sooo Furry Hitler 2 is not as good as Furry Hitler 1?
The sex scenes have fewer fetishes
this is considered strange behavior in my house
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.
You let your PC run through 2 weeks of vacation?
It normally would go on sleep mode and be off anyway so I hadn't noticed it was on when I left. That was how I learned that the .exe would just stay running and not allow things to shut off normally when idle.
Yeah, my friend has this same issue. She has been playing The Sims 4 for like seven months now.

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..
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.
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. 😔

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
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.
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
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)!

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.
I have over 1,900 hrs on Deep Rock Galactic.
The key is persistence.
Rock and Stone! oT
