If you’re still counting in hours you’re not a gamer

It's best not to do the math on this one people.

I’ve played games my whole life. As a kid it was easy to drop a whole day playing. As an adult I tend to stay up and play 2-3 hours after my family goes to bed and while I’m still awake. Conservatively I’d say I spend about 10% of my life gaming. And that’s being pretty conservative, it wasn’t uncommon for me to get 5 or 6 hours a day for a long time there when i didn’t have anything else going on.

I’m 35 now. I’ve probably played games for 3.5-4 years of playtime.

Conservatively, ~59,200 hours. Probably more.

I run a game store. Would making recommendations to customers about games count?

Because... lots?

So I've been gaming for 27 years. Let's say I played 5 hours a day every day. That'd be at least 49,275 hours or 2053.125 days.

Ballpark number about 50K hours on the low end

I'd convert hours into days. Then days to months. Then months to years.

It's years. I'm positively incorrect that it's years.

You think I know?? If I stuck to a strict schedule it would be easier. But some days I don't play at all and other I spend a whole day playing.

If I had to guess, at least 1/10th of my life, so 3 years? Probably more, but at least 3.

Guess since I was six? That’s when I got Minecraft after having only ever watched the Diamond minecart play it.

For those of you who play on Steam that want to be disappointed: SteamDB Calculator

My own hours on Steam comes to about 1000 hours a year, so assuming that’s pretty constant, and considering consoles, arcades, and playing at friends’ houses, going back to childhood, I would guess just over 50,000 hours in my lifetime.

So I’m definitely an expert now.

I’d say I have over 8 months of time gaming all put together
