A typical working year is approximately 2,000 hours, just for context.
That is nuts.
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.
That amount of work would qualify you as a master tradesman in many fields.
A typical apprenticeship is 6-8k
o7 pilot, keep those numbers up
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
Leaving a game running in the backvround while doing other things still adds up
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.
I would hate that so much that I would get Dark Souls removed from my account.
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

I’ve got a couple games with stats like that; and I do play them a lot… but I think a big slice of the time is that I often leave the game open basically all day while dipping in and out to do other things.
The play time is ticking up, but I’m having lunch, or doing laundry, or clearing the house or whatever; and I come back to the game when I’m done.
Me and satisfactory
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 something like 4k hours in Warframe.
However, many of those hours come from having been a broke teenager and wanting to sell stuff for platinum (premium currency). Any time I was home, the game was running, and I had listings up on warframe.market. Most of those hours were just me doing homework and waiting for the chat message noise.
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.
May I suggest Valkyria Chronicles?
not huge on turn based combat, but if the sandbox elements are good i could definitely thoroughly enjoy it. I’ll have to look at it sometime.
+1, highly recommended. The game usually goes on sale, worth a try at least.
My friend just shared this with me:
FFXIV released in 2013. That’s ~12 years ago, which is about 105,120 hours of human existence.
105,120/28,625 = 3.6723144104Meaning you’ve played an average of 3 hours and 40 minutes per day, every day, for the past 12 years (and that’s a slight under count because the game hasn’t hit its 12th anniversary yet)
That’s 5585 hours MORE than a full time 40hr/week job; nearly 3 whole years of pure labor.
All I have to say is congratulations, you beat the hardest game there is: capitalism. Enjoy your furry weeb paradise, friend.
I appreciate the praise but it belongs to someone else
My most played is 250 hours for a game from 2008
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
deleted by creator
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
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.
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 quit League some half a year ago after 10 years of playing. I can see now how impossible it seems to play that consistently when you just consume different games rather than having a single title.
It’s a completely different experience.
As a side note, what’s up with all the people saying “I played a game”, just say what game it is, we are all nerds in here.
I liked league, but they kept adding heros and the games always lasted forever. I think the long game times contributed to the toxicity the most. A bad team can murder 1 hour of your life.
And I never played ranked
League quit Linux and that’s when I realised I didn’t actually need it anymore… logged around 8-9 years around 1-2 games average per day can’t believe we played it that long…
I am curious how many hours I played League, but it’s probably a depressing amount.
Is it depressing if you had fun?
I love my time on earth and I think it’s wild that we can experience the intricacies of a realtime mind-battle with hundred of thousands of fellow humans around the world. #noregrets
Now, World of Warcraft… 🤮
How many hours yearly do people work?
Assume 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year. That makes 2000 hours a year. So yeah, how do people pull through with this?
Well they play for more than a year.
As the other comment said, more than a single year. But say you spend 6 hours on a game every Saturday and Sunday. Thats 624 hours right there. If you spend 2 hours every week day, that’s 520 hours (1144 hours). I have about 2000 hours in Path of Exile. It came out in 2013, but I really didn’t start playing it until 2018. But I played it off and on through 2023. Or about 400 hours/year. Throw in 300 hours of monster hunter, 500 hours of elden Ring, and factorio, and some other things sprinkled here and there and you get to the 1144 hours.
But admittedly I’m not always playing. Say I take a 15 minute break every hour. That’s 221 hours I’m not really playing. Add on top of it times I take a break and forget that I left the game running. Add some time playing for days off of work, subtract more for breaks.
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.
why not put your computer to sleep?
It’s me. I have numerous games like this. The answer? Alt-tab + multiple monitors + powerful PC. It’s easier for me to just switch to another application and switch back when I want to keep gaming than to close the game completely and open it again… Only sometimes it’s more than a day before I get back to playing again. And there’s how you end up with numerous games with thousands and thousands of hours on Steam.
More than a day?
So you don’t shut down your Pc when done? I only ask as I always turn it off.
Only time my pc shutdowns is for kernel updates or it crashes.
Makes me wonder whether turning it off regular and particularly when not in use if it would have more longevity.
As the other user stated, it’s not much of a concern as parts are usually upgraded frequently enough to not notice in PCs, but as far as things go I believe rebooting constantly is actually worse in the long run, just like starting your car from cold eventually wears down the starter, starting the PC from cold eventually wears down the PSU.
I personally dont worry about because pcs usually get replaced after ~10 years anyway due to massive performance and efficiency increases.
Laptops would be the only exception if you rely alot on the battery.
I will literally go months without my PC being turned off or even rebooted. To each their own. 😂
Forget to turn the launcher off and your computer off a few times and it adds up.
Some people are also lucky enough to have a bullshit job and still be remote.
