Terraria currently. Satisfactory and DRG before.

There was a shitty f2p MMO called GunZ online once upon a time. It was so badly programmed that glitches literally became the primary gameplay loop.

I loved it. For those few that could get into it, it was a unique heaven of fps and fighting game that filled a void an over caffeinated teen with nothing but hyper focus and time didn't know they had.

Also just ridiculously horny people.

Elite Dangerous, Rimworld

Payday 2

Man, I'm into Sword of Convalaria. I've finished it once, then twice, and am now on my third play.

Teals of Maj'Eyal. Nothing like a real fucking rouge like

subjective

I should probably take a picture, but at least 1500 hours on Project Cars 2 on PS4 / 5.

Edit: I just looked and it's actually 2,897 hours.

I'm split between Factorio and Dwarf Fortress.

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.

Oxygen not included. I spent so much brain beating that game, then wanted to play more.

cookie clicker

fucking useless, highly addictive

I kind of miss when No Man's Sky was an endless, empty expanse. That sense of loneliness and futility was an emotional experience that it doesn't have now. It's become a much better game, no doubt, but putting time and careful planning into that long crawl towards the galactic centre felt right.

Spelunky 2

Quest 64 is my favorite "bad" game. It was a meme for like a week around here, I miss those days.

Eve online took a lot from me , but it gave back a lot more .. i think everyone who plays it is on the spectrum, no other explanation tbh

PlanetSide 2 for me, easily 8k hours into that game. Around 5k on my steam account alone.

So sad to see it's still slowly collapsing, but I've not been on since the AU servers shut down years ago and the hackers took over the Asia server.

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.

There was this spreadsheet masquerading as a space conquest 4X game called Stars!

I will not stand for this Robot Unicorn Attack slander.

sits carefully

...that's better.

Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts and Sword of the Stars 2.

part of Sword of the stars 2 is even now it sometimes gets so laggy that you can't finish a game. You just at some point declare that you've snowballed enough and can't be beat anymore.

Hundreds of hours.

Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts is at least getting better now that the devs have abandoned it and modders are taking over.

Me being in love with Hellgate: London, Fate (WildTangent), and Warframe be like
