I have been teaching myself javascript for the past few months and I tried screeps but for the life of me I could not fucking figure it out. But then I found this game called bitburner and its basically an idle game where you are a hacker and you write scripts to hack companies and steal their crypto.
I started playing it partially for practice but I also thought it was fun.
I ended up spending so much time hopped up on ritalin and sitting at my computer and typing scripts then deleting them and trying to make newer better scripts from scratch. I didn't look up any guides online, just kept writing my own scripts while referencing javascript and bitburner docs.
There is one aspect of the game where you scan for connections. I was able to write a script that finds every connection in the entire game, displays them all in the terminal, and it also runs an if statement to give you root access to every server if your stats are high enough.
And yeah, it was good practice for coding and I even learned some neat tricks for dealing with arrays, loops, recursive functions, and algorithms.
But if you ask me, it is incredibly autistic that I have like 500 hours clocked in on an idle game about coding. Its essentially cookie clicker but instead of clicking a cookie you are running scripts. I did not treat it like an idle game, I treated it like a programming playground. But if nothing else I find it to be pretty good for practicing my skills so I guess it isn't anything to be ashamed about.

I was obsessed with the game corner in Pokemon. Refused to get the fifth gen games until 2012-2013 because I was so mad Heartgold didn't have a proper game corner. Fuck Voltorb Flip.

Halo 3 Forge:
Circa 2008
Would spend hours making forge maps and game modes, all for the fat kid zombie game mode, all of them named after the obese black kid that hung out with our friend group. I would do the thing where you have the forge blocks spawn in after a set amount of time then back out of the lobby to fuse blocks together to look nicer, so everything was a gigantic waste of time, all just to make fun of a fatty, it was cringe and retarded.

I used to be addicted to buying Rock Band DLC ages ago. I would just buy random DLC packs as soon as they came out, even if I didn't like the songs just so I could have something new to play. My friend and I even had our own online "band" that we always played together with, and sometimes his other friends would join us. I think I probably spent somewhere in the ballpark of $250 on DLC spread out across two years and fuck knows how many hours I spent playing that. Shit was pretty fucking gay and cringe when I think back to it.
Not so much with a gaming addiction but I have a very autistic compulsion with buying physical games that I know I will most likely never get around to playing. This goes double with any game series that I have a particular attachment to like with Resident Evil since I've been collecting physical copies of every RE game that released on the PS4/5 despite already owning all of them on Steam, and all that I'm buying is just an empty case with a disc inside it since they don't even print paper manuals for games anymore. Hell at least half of the Switch games I own I've only played them once or twice and never touched them again.

Gotta be back when Diablo 2 was first released. My friend and I bought it the day it dropped and spent a good 15 hours straight playing it together that night. Over the next couple of years I spent an autistically unhealthy amount of time playing that game. It’s easily the game I have the most hours invested into.

Morrowind was my first love, but when Skyrim released I remember driving home from class and seeing a road I hadn't been down before and trying to quicksave irl.
In general, I grew up poor so I have an instinct to milk as much replay value as possible from any game I enjoy, often to the point of understanding how parts of the game are coded and finding bugs and exploits. I have a truly autistic knowledge of early Pokemon, Halo 2 and 3, Far Cry: Instincts, TES III-V and Minecraft, and have easily over a thousand hours in each. That said, I haven't really played video games since ~2015.

cabela's dangerous hunts. I've probably played that game hundreds of hours the last 20 years. I can do weird break the game shit like kill animals from entirely across the map and glitch through and clip out of bounds and stuff. I don't even particularly like it I just absent mindedly throw it on.
A friend lived with me for a few years and dated a girl for a while who made us laugh bc I game all the time but she asked if I only ever played that hunting game because every time she came around I'd be sitting in the living room shooting bears and shit. his explanation (accurately) to her was, no hembruh is always playing that because you come over when he's blackout drunk late at night on weekends and its the only game he can play fucked up without either fucking up a file or forgetting what he was doing the next day and it also just makes him laugh.
I've beaten all the sequels too and played them to varying degree but I don't particularly like any of them. they added a retarded story mode in the second one and on, that are all stupid and bad. I'm playing it to hunt weird animals, not go on an adventure ill play a real game for that. the first one almost feels unfinished and is a glitchy buggy mess and that's why I like it. the only notable thing in any other one is Dangerous Hunts 2013 has a COD Zombies mode where you're killing tigers and shit breaking into your base or whatever and it's kinda fun and funny to shoot and kill like 1000 endangered animals on a run.
I don't even fucking like hunting. I can't explain it.

eve online and I'm still very much autistically addicted. 13 monitors, over 100 accounts. Play on both tranquility and serenity. No game compares even decades later.

Never got into many games but Stardew Valley got me hooked big time back in 2018, then again when the last big update hit. Planning on getting hooked again when the next big release comes out but oevrall loved Skyrim and Morrowind, then Daggerfall when I got DOSBox running. Some Pokemon games were also hits and the Megaman Zero/ZX games on the DS.

Unity engine Rust. Was in college, mainly taking online classes so I put an ungodly amount of hours into that game the 2-3 months it was up before being completely revamped. As someone who had next to no life, very fun and frustrating.
Never ended up touching it after they relaunched it nor any other pvp focused survival games.

I'd fall asleep with Pokemon Platinum still on. Luckily I wasn't moving around in my sleep so the DS stayed on my chest throughout the night.

Almost a decade ago I got into Skyrim modding. Being a horny teenage nerd of course I had to check out the female body skins and sex mods. Probably spent over a dozen hours setting up a modlist and getting all the deviant shit(and non-lewd mods) to work together. Finally booted up my final product and... quit before Whiterun.

Diablo 2 when I was a teenager for a couple years. I got really bad into it. I wasted almost an entire summer on it staying up all night playing, sleeping late into the day, waking up and playing again. I was playing online on closed battlenet. I didn't get into any of the ladder shit but item hunting. Rare shit and hard to get hacked items until blizzard purged those out with an update. I was fucking choked when my stone of jordans and my fucking windforce vanished.
I played hardcore mode for a while. I had a character up in the high 80's, the highest level I'd gotten to in hardcore mode. I was in a game with a couple other people playing solo in different parts of the game. Someone joined and immediately went hostile on everybody. I debated just leaving the game but I figured I was in a fairly random part of act 4, there were two other people in the game at different points, I had no open town portals or anything showing where I was, so I took a chance and went through the waypoint, I was dead before the screen even loaded. That was it, I quit playing diablo 2 that day and I haven't really played it since. Weeks of time wasted, gone literally in a second.
I'm kind of glad it happened though. I'm pretty sure that kept me from getting into MMO's and games full of addicting shit or games that waste retarded amounts of time on pointless unfun things.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War
I sunk an enormous amount of time into that games zombies mode. I think I have about 30 days of play time (compared to the 8 or so hours I spent in multiplayer).
I grinded out every single aetherium upgrade, ever single piece of Intel on every map, every single zombies challenge (ie make it to round 20 without being hit, get to round 100, etc), and most importantly I have the dark aether camo for every single gun. I would throw on a tv show in the background, load up Firebase Z, and grinding out 2500 headshot kills with every gun, one at a time. Typically that amount was enough to get the gun to max rank, and complete all of the other camo challenges for the gun at the same time. When a new weapon came out, I'd unlock it and repeat the process. Each run, I'd extract at round 30 because any higher would start taking too long, but any lower wouldn't be a substantial enough amount of kills to for gun exp.
I have no idea why I was so autistically obsessed, the game would piss me off so much because every new patch introduced a myriad of new problems that would take weeks to get fixed. Shit like "Pack-a-punched sniper rifles lost all penetration", "crossbow has no aim assist from Deadshot Daiquiri", "nail gun aim assist from DeadShot Daiquiri has you snap 2ft to the left of the enemies head", or my favorite; "map has loading bug, and can no longer be played unless you abuse a pause buffer during a specific segment of the intro cinematic"

Street fighter alpha 3 world tour mode.
Grand turismo 3/4 I had to buy and full mod and tune every single car in the game, even if I didn't ever use it.
