As a kid I would play various RPGs; BG, Diablo, Fallout, Xcom etc, to about 1/3rd or 1/2 of the way through the game, then start again with another character. ONly when I'd played enough characters/builds, would I finish the game.
In my late teens/early twenties it was Gears 3 and then Gears 4, reaching top 100 and top 25 of the world, playing only solo multiplayer.
Then in my mid-twenties up until very recently, I was addicted to Stainless Games' Magic the Gathering titles. They would release every 2 years or so and each game I slapped 1500 hours a year into, with 3700 hours into their last release from 2017. Not to PL or flex, but im not a no-life bum and work for myself.
Nowadays I don't even play games as there's nothing that scratches that autistic itch. I find few games give me the challenge of flexing the brain in an attempt to break the game. A few exceptions like Xcom (remake) and the 2 Divinity games keep me classed as a gamer. If not for them, I wouldn't even own a console. /spergout.
