    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.

        I have work today, I’m there now, and could still put in 6 hours if I felt like it or was deep enough in a game to do it.

        Im almost 30, work just over 20 hours a week (weekends for the extra $10/hr). No kids no partner.

        I have 3 games recorded over 1000 hours and Minecraft doesn’t record but would be 5000+ easily over the last decade.

        I am rural so there’s not really anything else to do unless gardening is your kind of thing.

          I am rural

          This is a big factor. I think I doubled my time on the computer when I moved to an area with no true neighbors for miles.

        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).
