I was looking at my playtime for some games and realized I have over 450 hours in PlanetSide 2.

I've been wanting to find a new game to sink some hours into so I'm curious what Lemmy plays the most.

Ok, so I'm 44, and my parents literally played D&D and video games with us growing up. I literally don't remember a time in my life that I wasn't gaming.

That being said.

According to Steam:

Factorio: 4,330 hours

Dyson Sphere Program: 2,506 hours

Skyrim: 2440 hours

Stellaris: 2,237 hours

Dungeon Defenders: 1644 hours

Terraria: 1630 hours

Fallout 4: 602 hours

Also I probably have well over 10,000 hours in 2.5 edition, 3.0, and 3.5 edition D&D. Only counting actual tabletop time.

That's also not counting a fuckton of games that I have played on various consoles starting with a TI-99/A and and Atari 2600 as well as most of the early Nintendo consoles. I branched out once I got to college.

My numbers are actually quite low. I know multiple people that have 20,000+ hours in their favorite games.

Oh my god yes Dyson Sphere Project. If you liked it and Factorio give Satisfactory a shot. It's first person but an amazing experience.

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Satisfactory scratches that same itch, in a totally different way. Adding that third dimension throws a lot of Factorio people off, because it makes it 'too easy'- if you build it wrong, it's fine, just go up a level.

Nah fam, play some more. Just going over the top song gonna cut it off the first few tiers. Especially if you want your factory to look good.

Finally someone mentions Factorio, especially since the DLC just came out.
