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.

Spelunky 2

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.

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.

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

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

I have been collecting shinies in Pokémon Scarlet (140 so far) but my cartridge just died so now I’m beating PLA.

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.

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

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

This one particular rp server on San Andreas Multiplayer

My last words will be “Just one… more… turn”

I remember when I stumbled into the serious world of 100% Orange Juice players on steam/twitch

"Worst". Idk, Satisfactory is pretty great.

World of Tanks, which is pretty funny considering the image.

Deep Rock Galactic is a very good game that doesn't deserve this slander (except Season 3 which has given me actual nightmares)

Fuck, there's enough games that I got addicted to in this thread that I'm scared I've got the tism

What's wrong with Rust?

I mean, when you remove the toxicity, it's a great single-player game.

Ignore the thousands of hours I have in the game.
