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.

Steam just tracks how long the program is running. My old rig played Dark Souls 3 24/7 sometimes because the .exe file would glitch and stay open until I manually terminated it. I averaged 168 hours a week coming back from a 2 week vacation once.

You let your PC run through 2 weeks of vacation?

It normally would go on sleep mode and be off anyway so I hadn't noticed it was on when I left. That was how I learned that the .exe would just stay running and not allow things to shut off normally when idle.

Yeah, my friend has this same issue. She has been playing The Sims 4 for like seven months now.

I would hate that so much that I would get Dark Souls removed from my account.
