1000 hours? Really? BG3 came out 153 days ago, which means you would have spent, on average, 6 and a half hours a day every day since then playing just that game. I'm not saying you're lying... but I kind of am? (if true, seek help)

Regardless, what you said is true. BG3 offers so many options that each playthrough is so drastically different, the replayability is as close to infinite as any story-based game has gotten IMO. It's kind of amazing the game works at all, let alone works as well as it does.

I apologize, I inflated my time by 370.1 hours

Not as bad as my rimworld situation:

Do you leave your games idle a lot?

Because a full-time job is around 2000 hours a year.

Technically yes for rimworld cause once you get a larger colony completing anything takes forever because it doesn't support multi-threading.

It helps that all my friends are gamers and no family in the picture.

I've also got my stuff setup in such a way that I can do cardio while I play video games.
