    I once calculated my Minecraft hours across all platforms I've played on and it's over HALF A YEAR. I was like mega addicted in middle school, I still play often.

    servers SUCK now though, they're all pay to win and have custom texture packs that look horrible 😞

    the best one I've found (that isn't private) is UltraVanilla, and I actually found it from firefoxes "Minecraft Indy wiki redirect" plugin which crashed once and there was a little box on the side which mentioned the server bc the person that made the plugin is an admin of the server. When I joined the discord I had already interacted with several members from other modding discords.
    As far as I know im the ONLY person that checked it out due to that popup lol

    I don't play on that server because some friends made a different (private) server.

    I've easily got a full year into Minecraft since I started playing back in high school. and that's just active hours, not afk. I've never joined a public server

    even accounting for the second account I bought for java and the bedrock account I may have had to buy when my account didn't port over properly, it's still the highest time/$ game I've got

        Rocket league. Scrolled all the comments and slightly disappointed to not find this one πŸ˜•

        This was a game I was truly addicted. Uninstalled it many times recognising it as an addiction but kept coming back to it. I feel lucky that I could break out of it. It was THAT addictive. Around 1200-1300hrs on that game.

        I have a few thousand more than that and only stopped because my Steam controller could no longer be repaired. The only reason I want to stay away is Epic/Psyonix being exploitive and abusive. Would love a FOSS clone.

          For me it was Terraria, Satisfactory, Tetris Effect Master Mode, Minecraft with Mekanism mod & CSGO / CS2 (almost 2000 hours in CS alone).

          Urban Terror, it has such a high skill ceiling. Spent many hours just happily running jump maps, let alone all the thousand of games. Thinking of going back.

            Never played any of them myself but I watched a cousin play Chaos Theory when it came out and the soundtrack by Amon Tobin blew me away; I still listen to it frequently.

                Sad to say league

                Less sad to say hades. Incredible game that I have preemptively already told my partner she won't see me for a week after hades 2 comes out

                  Hades, I spent like 6 months playing almost nothing else. Platinumed it and still couldn't get enough, and I'm not even that good at it!ΰ²₯_ΰ²₯ I managed to get to 25 heat I think.

                      Payday 2 probably takes the gold medal for me. I was once playing casually with a friend of me after work, chatting about the day, and when we were about to finish the level we noticed that we damn near broke the world record for that level, a record made by 4 players.

                      I only played payday 2 casually because all I would play is hoxton breakout LOL

                      I was invested enough though to make my own skin mod (pre lootbox) and it was kinda popular

                        Modded Factorio. I did 450 hours of pyAnodon's recently and it just broke me. I didn't win the game. I feel like I lost at it and life.

                        It seems impossible to manage the side products properly. Ridiculous amount of materials that are all interrelated means that if you are low on one thing, it is very hard to fix it because you need the thing to work to make anything.

                        Too many recipes means it is very difficult to make modular, adaptable designs to copy and paste.
                        Advanced recipes seem better, but they end up just exacerbating the issue even more.

                          If only I could relive the wonders of beta 1.5 from fresh

                          Don't get me wrong I think the evolution of minecraft is cool and one of my favorite mod packs was sevtech, which was around 2017, but beta 1.5 hits different when kid me was just spamming random mats into the crafting table to see if it built anything

                                  Nope. I used the fact that it never really went on sale as an excuse to avoid it, which had saved me a half year or so of my life, I think.

                                    Most games that spark a Tetris Effect with me, where I'm still playing them in my mind while I've put them down hours ago, are industrial automation games. So the likes of Factorio, Satisfactory, Captain Of Industry.

                                      My heart aches knowing I'll likely have to wait an extra year to play Hades II after it comes out. u_u

                                          For me it was Terraria, Satisfactory, Tetris Effect Master Mode, Minecraft with Mekanism mod & CSGO / CS2 (almost 2000 hours in CS alone).

                                          Edit: There are so many answers that I might only reply if I have something interesting to say. I will read all of your answers though. πŸ™‚

                                          Edit 2: It has become too much for me and I have to disable notifications. Thank you for the massive response and please continue to discuss with everyone here. ❀️ 🫑

                                          Everquest Online Adventures and then City of Heroes.

                                          For EQOA I had 3 CRT tvs and five PS2s with an account for each one going for a couple of years straight. I worked on the road at the time. I was in a different hotel every two months and lugged that around with me. I was in a guild, led raids, powerleveled my and other people's alts.

                                          City of Heroes was similar. Three accounts, I met my ex wife there, was a prominent member in one of the largest Super Groups in the game. I was there from the first couple months of the game until it shut down.

                                          When I found out about the CoH private servers I went back and caught myself slipping right back to the old ways so I haven't touched a multi-player game since.
