This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I honestly don't get it. I've been playing the same game for about three months of real time now and clocked in about 120 hours. I didn't play anything else and and it's consuming most of the time I have to myself. The game is Witcher 3.
Now, that means every 1000 hours would take me 25 months or just over two years of playing a game exclusively. Probably more since my data above includes my Christmas vacation, which was quite lengthy. No single game is good enough to take such a big place in my life. I could play so many shorter better games.
If I'm playing only 1 game for 3 months and it doesn't hit 500 hours I clearly wasn't playing it that much. I have a ton of spare time though.
That’s an insane amount of time per day. Are you a child or without a job? That’s 5.5 hours a day.
In 3 months ~64 day would be weekdays and ~26 days would be weekends.
So a likely scenario is 64*4+26*9.4
For me this kind of distribution is plausible during phases when I'm really into a specific game. I'm 31, single, full time employed (which means 42 hours per week, or 8.4 a day, here in Switzerland).
