    Sometimes I blanch at how many hours I've put in a game, sure. But if there was ever an accurate display of how many hours I've wasted just zoning out on UA-cam to videos that I'm not even really enjoying that much in the first place, I'd probably just turn to ash on the spot.

    Nothin wrong with enjoying the time spending hundreds/thousands of hours on a game and then later down the line called life regretting it. Having said that, we probably should also always mention how those hours accumulated and at what age like NL mentioned. Big difference between me accumulating around 4000 hours of Dota2 aged 13-16 and accumulating like a hundred hours in spelunky over years in my early twenties.

      Really it depends on what you would be doing with your time otherwise. The average person that doesn't play video games isn't using their time to learn an instrument or a new language, they're browsing social media, or watching UA-cam.
      Its just not as easy to see how many hours you have on Twitter vs a video game on steam and the social stigma of video games is still pretty high so its looked down upon more

    • @Zythryl
      @Zythryl 20 днів тому +5

      Idk man, I wouldn’t say my amount of free time has drastically changed with the decades. Like, sure, you get a little less, but the time spent preoccupied at school was simply replaced by time spent at college (where I ended up with *more* free time actually), and then the time spent preoccupied at college was replaced with time working. It’s not *much* more time per day working than I spent daily at high school.
      Like sure you also get more errands and responsibilities but nowhere near enough to consume the remaining 5-6 hours of free time per day. Maybe like, half of it.
      What I mean is, it doesn’t seem abnormal to have three hours per day where you can just do a thing you like. I don’t think it’s enough of a difference to be super notable.
      Maybe I’m just insane and everyone around me is privileged too; if it were so, I would simply never know.

    • @Zythryl
      @Zythryl 20 днів тому

      @@classified022Exactly this; I hate to say it, but I’m more “proud” of spending three or four hours per day playing Elden Ring than I would be if I were instead browsing Reddit or watching TV. Like obviously I could use that time going out for a walk or reading, or making art, but that’s what I’m usually doing for the other “half” of my total free time.
      Three hours per day doing any single thing at all for personal reasons is more than normal. But using *all* your free time on that single thing, probably isn’t.
      Just don’t forget, that 3 hours of a single thing per day will net you with 1095 hours of that thing per year, if you never skip out. That’s pretty damn reasonable, when you remember capital-G Gamers can easily double, sometime triple, that time spent.

      I've gone back and forth on this. Where I'm at now is that you can believe that people have good intentions and still understand that they will weigh their first interactions with you heavily in their mind. Like, there's no way you can drop your 10,000 hours in runescape on them in your first conversation and expect them to get the context that you found those hours fulfilling and meaningful. Even good-intentioned people will categorize you as hedonistic/weird in this case, so you have to lie about that in your first interactions with them.

      I would say that 3000 hours watching movies is considerably better than the same amount of hours playing a single game. There are a multitude of films that provide thought provoking themes and enriches our knowledge about life and different cultures. The same can't be said about raging in League of Legends because you want whatever high rank in competitive.

      ​@@enzolabre6295 As someone who has spent many hours watching movies and TV shows and also has spent many hours playing games (especially when I was young), I can say that playing games has been substantially more helpful to me than any of the movies or TV shows I have watched.
      You mentioned achieving a high rank in League and while I have never put much time into league, I have no reason to believe league is any different to the games I mainly played (most playtime would probably be cs, minecraft and overwatch in that order). What I gained mainly from getting good at these games was from a very early age I learned how to get good at difficult things and just generally became familiar with my own learning process.
      As a result, I was able to become better at many things outside of video games much faster. Some are simply other hobbies that we have been societally conditioned to think are more worthwhile time usages (sports, instruments, chess if that counts). School, once I applied the same approach as I had to video games became pretty easy to do well in. In fact, out of everything I think video games were probably the only thing that has ever actually felt challenging.
      Anyways, the premise that there exists hobbies that are more worthwhile time usages is in itself silly so I shouldn't really even be bothering to write this as there is no need to defend video gaming as a hobby. But still, the idea that becoming good/very good even at a video game is useless for other aspects of life is an incredibly ignorant thing to say.

      Thats why I specifically mentioned raging because of a rank in competitive game. If you are spending most of your time in high levels of anger, I whole heartedly believe it is not good for you, mentally and potencially physically. I get that online rank may seem like an important thing to accomplish in the hobby that someone wants to engage with, but when it becomes and obsession, thats full on bad. The same that happens in league can also happen with Counter Strike, Valorant and so on. Leauge is just a great example for obvious reasons.
      With that being said, I feel that the same amount of hours watching movies over a large period of time is nothing to feel ashamed by. I champion a world with more movie watching and less League!

      I think a significant amount of that playtime is AFK, even if these people don't realise it. When you commit to a game that hard you open it without thinking. They probably leave it on the menu when they take a break or go to have dinner, why close the game if you're just going to open it again when you get back?
      At a certain point reaching the next milestone becomes exciting, I wouldn't be surprised if people purposely leave the game open in the background or while they're AFK just to increase their hours a bit.

    The most hours i have in a game is probably csgo (around3-4k) and played that game nonstop for three years and stray hours throught the years. Second place is around 900 and then quickly falling. If you have more then 5k in a game you either have a problem, you are a pro e-sports player to some degree or you enjoy less then 3 different games a year. I played 65 different titles last year but that might also be a problem now that i think about it...
    EDIT: I do wonder the playtime we had as kids on consoles like ps2, gamecube and N64 where you can't see playtime? That shit could be wild, especially since it took a week to beat a single level sometimes when i can beat some of my favorite childhood games now in less then a week.

That had to be purely to provoke chat, right? 100 hours is literally nothing, people who watch a few hours of TV after work each day knock that out every month. If someone is ever appalled that you invested 100 hours into a hobby then they either haven't though about it for more than five seconds (in which case it would be easier to just point out how silly they're being than to live a lie) or their life is completely devoid of joy and you probably shouldn't associate too much with them anyway.

In those cases, in which is much more of a social experience, I get why people would have huge amount of hours played.
