Can I keep a stack of piss bottles for when I do the FPS bits? It's been in TF2 since forever so why not done?

I have several friends that play, we each sub only once. We have multiple accounts (I bought one for each of my kids, they'll grow into it!) but I don't sub on those accounts. I can just buy and send interesting sub-only things, so no real need.

I'd imagine this is mostly singles, with maybe a chunky 5-10% with multiples, but who knowns? The game is over lowing with backers, it's hard to tell these days!

I wonder if the kids watched their parents playing the game and were all, "Hey can I play too?" or if it's just the parent saying, "child; you will now play this lovely video game."

I think I know the answer. : (

The waiting list for Packers season tickets is like 80 years so this might actually be a good race vs star citizen over what exists that far in the future

Star Citizen should have procedurally generated space football matches so that you can buy season tickets to view them in game and watch them on space TV in your ship. Really missing a money generating opportunity there.

I would probably rather have $10000 worth of jpegs over $10000 worth of NFL tickets at this point.

Unless I didn't have to go to the game in which case either one would be worth the same

Presumably a difference in priorities or financial stability. If you're unwilling to spend more than 4 minutes a day gaming that's one thing, you clearly have other things to do.

If you don't have the time to dedicate more free time to literally any hobby, due to other obligations, I am sorry

i think maybe you're the odd one out here

2 hours a month seems a little on the low side

but the simple judgement free explanation is: you do have free time right? Well in that time they're playing games.

You might be one of those lucky people who enjoys their job and basically lives for it but well, the majority of us are not that lucky.

That's definitely low, but for me, even when I think I've put a huge amount of time into a game it usually turns out to be 100-200 hours in Steam stats. It's hard for me personally to imagine getting to a thousand hours in a single game. I play a decent amount but I never get that much into one game.

Is there a way to tell how much time you've played? I hit /played and it says 13 days. That seems really low. Probably just on that one character.

I clocked in 130ish hours in Skyrim over a decade or so? I thought that was a lot. It definitely FELT like a lot.

Then my gaming friends laugh at me and it surprises me cause you're laughing at me for not spending *more* time on vidja games?

A lot is relative but 130 hrs over a decade is like 13 hours a year or 1 hour and a bit a month, so, uh, not really a lot by most people’s margins?

The thing with Skyrim is that you have 130 hours of play time, but 800 hours of resolving mod conflicts.

It'll probably suck more on a spinning HD, which may be the one thing to not hold against it tbqh?

Even actual good and popular games that have been out to varying lengths effectively require SSD. Rdr2, wow, to name 2

Sadly due to game size creep and supply chains, im sure it's easier said than done. Glad I upgraded every HD I have to at least sata3 SSD right before the end times
