I just happened to check a couple days ago and apparently I have about 135 in rocket League, but that's pretty much it for real games, everything else I've played looks sub 50 hours. I think the longest I've stuck with a single-player game is 30 hours in mad max. I did play a ton of pubg mobile when I was younger, PC/console-less, and had more free time.
It's not really the total hours that bothers me though, it's the commitment, the games that demand x amount of hours from me before I get a conclusion to the story. I hop into rl whenever I feel and think "one more round...one more round...k I've had enough for today". There's no real demand on my time.
Now I'm sure there's tons of holes in that logic, but this isn't really a logical thing, I'm just trying to explain how I feel
Surprised me
I'm glad I'm not the only one like this. I don't play single player games often because it seems like they're all 60+ hours long. That's such an investment in my mind. It's especially frustrating for me getting stuck on a level or boss in a single player game, because when I get stuck, that's it. I can't progress, and now I'm stressing about the video game I just bought and can't complete.
On the other hand, with multiplayer I can do a quick match whenever if I have a spare half-hour. And I like that you compared multiplayer games to sports, because that's how I see it too. I'm just there to improve my skills and test them against real people in an even match. So what if I lose? That's part of the game, I'll get them next time. Or not, I'm honestly ass at video games in general, but I like a little healthy competition, and I like reading opponents and trying to get into their OODA loop. I don't even play with mic chat on except with friends, so I don't hear trash talking, it's just that NPC's in singleplayer games don't do it for me. They feel like puppets. I get bored of that so fast. I'd rather watch a movie or read a book if I'm going to entertain myself alone without Internet.
I don't mean for this to come across as bashing single player games, tons of them look like a lot of fun. Truthfully, I'm jealous of the people who enjoy them because it seems like I'm just not wired to.
I dunno, I don't just ignore ads, I find them repulsive, like my scam-alarms go off even when I know that it's probably a legit product. Seriously unless I get a recommendation from an actual person, the brand I've never heard of feels safer to me then the brand I saw a cheap ad for on some janky website. Maybe it's because so much of the stuff I had growing up was knockoff/store brand, so I've hardly ever actually experienced anything that I saw an ad for.
Oh neat, that makes sense given the Babylonians base-60 numbering system
It's big. It's heavy. It's wood.
Done
It took me like 15 😭

There used to be some truth to the advise of not washing cast iron because those old-fashioned soaps had lye that could break down the seasoning. So I guess if you like to use boutique soaps you should be mindful if they contain lye. But if you're just using dawn dish soap like probably 90% of everybody, go to town, you're not going to remove seasoning with dish soap
