      Having grown up on the MUDs and MMOs that release before WoW I think I was thankfully inoculated against its more gamified, addictive formula.

    Rimworld, Vicky 2, Ck2, Hoi4, Eu4, Fallout 1 2 3 and New Vegas, Morrowind, Skyrim, and currently Vintage Story. My tastes are damned good profligates can you say the same?!

    Edit: Also Total Warhammer.

      I have the same list but Caves of Qud also sucked some life out of me. Damn good RPG though.

      One day I’ll get around to playing Nomifactory CE. I’ve somehow played the base one twice over the past five years.

      I’ve been so alienated from friends playing the most popular game on the planet in multiplayer because I can’t play Vanilla for shit. Not since 1.2.5 probably.

      I’ll play no Minecraft for two years and then immediately nolife a modpack for two months.

      Good shit. The best value game I have ever bought, no question about it.

    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 have logged over 200 hours in RuneScape just this month.

      It probably helps that I have a job where I can have it running next to me. At this point, it is basically just an idle game that I only need to touch every ~15 minutes to refresh my idle logout timer. Pretty much the only times it’s not running are when I’m asleep or physically away from a computer.

      Hell, even when I’m away from my computer, it keeps running as long as I can touch it every now and then to stay logged in. If I’m AFK’ing slayer with aggressive enemies, I only really need to touch it to refresh my inventory or the idle timer. Even when I’m playing other games, RuneScape just runs quietly on my second monitor.

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

      Came here to also say Elite. They’re actually doing updates now, but I still would never recommend to anyone despite devoting so much time to it.

      I keep going back to ONI to try and get into its endgame. But I quickly start getting kicked around in a back alley by the temperature stuff. Like trying to figure out colony-wide temperature control.

    When I was in college it was WOW. I have soooo many hours in that game. But it also helped fix a lot of issues I had with social anxiety. I went from basically never interacting with people in that game to being elected to run a 60 person guild. I didn’t even campaign they just nominated me for it when the previous GM left. It did a lot to help me feel like I could be normal. Then I got a job and a GF and didn’t have time to play as much anymore.

    These days it’s Warframe but I don’t have enough free time to really get into video games like I used to anymore.
