I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I hope the 35k hours playtime was botted
I've left a game open on the main screen, or paused, so many times that my play counters are not remotely trustworthy
35000 hours is a lot though. Really a lot if not done on purpose
That's 4 years or 104 fortnights or 1,458+ poop socks.
To put that much time into something and say you don't like, obviously it capture that person's attention well beyond it's intended shelf life. How can anyone improve on something that captured someone's attention for four fucking years of playtime.
Something something fortnite joke
4 continuous years of 24/7 playtime, it’s important to say
That’s almost 17 years at a full time job….
Streamers have a good life
Unless you're handicapped or unable to work for some reason and get a passive revenue that allows you to live, i'm not sure how people can do this
I did this with Garry's Mod, writing gamemodes and occasionally testing if it works.
Back before GMod 11 the game startup time was atrocious, so I just kept it running.
But in the end, it was about 5k hours
I have much more played time on EverQuest, but I've been playing that game for 26 years, so....
