In college I would study between rounds of civ and binding of isaac. These days I'll use a rougelike or stardew or something as something to do while listening to an audiobook when the weather isn't fit for biking

one of my steam friends has a program that farms steam hours, just for the shock factor
Sooo Furry Hitler 2 is not as good as Furry Hitler 1?
The sex scenes have fewer fetishes
this is considered strange behavior in my house

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.
I would hate that so much that I would get Dark Souls removed from my account.
Yeah, my friend has this same issue. She has been playing The Sims 4 for like seven months now.

The only games I have over 1000 hours in are games that I've owned for more than 10 years and are online. TF2, Counter-Strike, Arma 2 and 3, Rocket League...
I love Souls games and have played the shit out of every single one; but they average 300-500 hours of total playtime.
I have like 3700 hours in factorio, but I also leave it running when I’m not around… like an idle game

My steam account has just over 4000 hours logged in Dota 2, plus there's about 1000 hours sitting on another dead account somewhere.
I played the game for like 7 years, pretty much daily for anywhere between 30 minutes to... Well I did a 24 hour stream once when I finally decided to play ranked for a while. I think about that stream whenever I consider going back to the game, but the audience has changed so much and language barriers are so difficult in games like that
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.
My friend just shared this with me: 
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.

How ?
I ask myself the same thing! I wish I had a singular game I loved as much as they love FF14
Running the game servers with Steam installed can do that.
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.
