I’m curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don’t know the total hours because I’ve had so many accounts over the years I don’t even remember half my passwords, but it’s definitely in the thousands of hours now. I’ve played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.

I’ve also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don’t know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I’ve never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.

What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?

    Rocket League

    Games are short (5 mins). Queues are short (less than 1 min). Cross platform. Runs on Linux. Controller support (preferred). Easy to understand, but high skill ceiling. Amateur leagues are fun. Keeps my reflexes sharp. Can turn chat off. A decent esports scene.

      The progress you make from driving and bumping the ball to rocketing through the air and dunking is amazing.

      Then the match making is so good that every match feels challenging but still fun.

      I have a couple hundred hours in rocket league from playing with friends around ~2020. Was a ton of fun, even if I never managed to get any good at it. 🤣
