    I dont care what you say in your review, but if you clock 8000 hours in a game I’m pretty sure you liked it enough to keep playing, or you’re actually just addicted and need to seek help.

    I will die on this hill

      Well, could just have started the game, then went to get the doorbell, got hit by a car on his porch and was in a coma for a year before he could get back to close the game.

      I’ve got some serious time in games I gave bad reviews to. In part because I often get interrupted pause the game and don’t get back to it until the next day.

          Longest is 2,700 for a bad review. Oxygen Not Included. The hours come from a combination of things.

          I bought it on a whim the first week of early access so years of on and off playing. Mid game gets super slow and with a stable base there is little danger. So que up some dig, sweep, or build orders and go to bed. 20 minutes of play for 20 hours of run time.

          Then the game starts to have problems with performance so sort the junk and fill the world with plastic to simplify calculations.

          Then there is the runtime I used running a mod that generated a world checked it’s stats and sent the info to a map database.

    8k hours is a lot.
    That’s like PhD level, into a game I’ve never heard of before now.
    Sure, It’s trust their input.

      Those are rookie numbers for strategy games.

      Competency starts around 1500 hours.

        Isn’t OSR a bit “plodding to success” as you can always grind up your skills?

          Yeah it kinda is, but the skill ceiling in pvp and pvm is massively high.

          There’s people who can do all the bosses in game eyes closed without hands and then there’s me who can sit clicking that same rock for a year

            Thank you for the leg work on looking what it is and then replying, thinly remarking that I could have googled it instead ;)
