All I see are awesome game recommendations, thanks everyone! Except for Stardew Valley.. that's my game. I love it but I hate it for reasons mentioned already.

Any game where you fight by picking stuff out of menus

Battlefield 2042. 5k hours.

For me, HC WoW

Second Life. If you could call it a game.

I started "playing" it in 2006. Went through long periods of not playing it.. but I always come back.. and it's always worse

Stardew Valley.

So I'm not autistic and these aren't necessarily bad games, but for my partner this is definitely Dragon Age. She has put an insane number of hours into the first 3 games. She knew The Veilguard was going to be bad. She KNEW, she told me multiple times even the second before she told me she bought the game. She got 3/4 of the way through before having a crying, screaming meltdown over how bad it was.

Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. I have at least 10k hours between both.

This is unironically one of my favorite memes because it fits me SO WELL:
On Minecraft I have ~150 days playtime on PC, after switching to Prismlauncher (after some development drama) I have another ~22 days playtime. Along with my 1300 hours on switch it's a total of 234.5 DAYS looking at pixelated blocks in a children's game.

that's not even including my time in PE edition from when I was little or the multiple years I spent in Lunar client which doesn't track playtime. In total it's probably WELL over a whole year of JUST Minecraft.

I ALSO have 9154 hours in other steam games and 1500 MORE in animal crossing. In total this is 16,000 hours, 670 days or

1.8 YEARS

I do also have minor autism.

edit: also 2-300 hours in oldschool RuneScape lol

I’ve been playing the Monster Hunter series since 2004 and have logged well over 10k hours.

Nethack. 100% this is Nethack.

I honestly loved Forspoken. I even bought a second physical copy in case something happens to the original.

ITT: people listing good games they played a bunch.

The answer is clearly world of warcraft.

EVE Online?

Modded minecraft isnt the worst ever

I started making games to make sure its not

Dota 2. Almost 10k hours. I got matched against s4 and had to face him in the mid lane. I got wrecked and I uninstalled the game, that was a few years ago now. I figured if I just matched against one of the best players in the world then I actually completed dota and it's time to stop.

I just spent 20 hours on the demo for the new game roadcraft. I'm just pushing dirt around in a tractor like I'm playing with Tonka trucks back when I was 5. I haven't really done anything interesting, just leveled dirt. Anyway, ill probably put in another 6 hours today after work.

Factorio. Do i need to say more?

Did y'all hear about Rain World ?

Growing up playing osu! forever scarred my taste in music. Now I have a $300 SDVX controller at home and I need help

Also honorable mention for the 500+ hrs I have in Skyrim (with additional difficulty mods), Slay the Spire, Binding of Issac, ...
