listen to the mad man
Campaign Clicker ended up being kind of wack. Assuming you start playing at the exact second the campaign starts, and use an auto-clicker at maximum velocity (i.e. cheat), and purchase upgrades perfectly (there's a point at which upgrades cost more to purchase than they can possibly give you the full length of the campaign--and it actually comes pretty early), you still can't win. However, the more times you lose, the more multiplier you accrue. I would estimate it'd take a 10x or so multiplier to win without cheating, and I would estimate that to get that multiplier without buying things you'd have to play for over a month, which would bring you past the actual presidential election. On the other hand, you can pay real cash to buy multiplier increases.
I can confirm this is likely the actual case as 14,000 people have played and only 0.5% have the first achievement, which requires one victory. Some achievements require hundreds of victories.
Plus it's missing one of the most fundamental UI elements of a good clicker: a way to look at purchases in terms of value per click per second. I have to keep calculator open on a second computer to constantly check what the most efficient purchase is.

Does anyone have problem with Epistory crashing your computer after like 30 minutes of gameplay? First time the entire screen turned green and I had to restart the computer. Second time the screen went to idle mode but I couldn't wake the screen again and had to restart the computer

The new EU4 expansion, Rights of Man, comes out today, along with a load of free content in the new patch. Thanks Paradox, I guess I do have to spend another couple of hundred hours conquering the world, it's not like there's any other big strategy games coming out anytime soon.
Oh, this expansion sounds wonderful. Way of Life for EU4, plus more diplo fun.
Unfortunately Stellaris is getting its new stuff on the 20th, so that must take priority.
There's also rumblings of a Total Warhammer DLC drop this week. Everything strategy is afoot.

Way too much time spent on L4D2 and KF.
A few notes:
- A lot of the DS1 and Deadly Premonition time is working on fixes.
- I have played probably ~450 of those Audiosurf hours in local coop.
- I think I inadvertently let TLR idle for two days or more at some point.
- I haven't even completed the expansions for Pillars yet.
- My 50th most played game sits at 24 hours.

Excluding a couple of clickers, since those just run in the background most of the time. I also have another 100+ hours in USFIV on another account, if I recall correctly. And I'm still terrible at those games.
Oh, so the $9.99 price is confirmed?
I was worried it would be much pricier, given the cost of the last cosmetic DLC, but at that price I'll definitely grab it on launch.
This reminds me that I haven't got M&MX on Steam (I have one of the really nice physical boxes), that would surely sit at >100 hours.

Audiosurf has local coop? In BPM by chance? I may have just found just the right game to play with the SO
I couldn't put it down. One of these days I need to play it again and find out why everyone seems to like Rangers. Also, I'm jealous of your box.

Durante, I appreciate you keeping Dark Souls in chronological order.
Yup! Paradox knocked it out of the park.

Super happy to see everyone be so excited for Leviathans and Heinlein! (pricing also seem a bit too low this time around ;-))
The perceived value of Plantoids may have been lower than I expected, but not from a dev cost side of things. Trust me. I have the numbers.
Only reason FFXIII is up there is because I wanted to do all the achievements and some of them require insane amounts of grinding. Trails in the Sky FC would've been in 10th position with 76 hours, otherwise. MGSV is also a bit bloated due to achievements, near the end I had it just running in the background while I was doing homework. The nuke construction takes fucking forever and I had done pretty much everything else by that point.

The concept of MGSV's base-building is so cool, it really is a shame they ruined it with that free-to-play design/monetisation.
Heh, I don't doubt it.
The Plantoids DLC just seems dramatically expensive when considering the price the game and CK2's DLC. Like, I don't want it to dampen their desire to expand Stellaris, but as a consumer it just isn't appealing at all at such a price. Don't doubt the quality or anything, though--the portraits (well, heck, art and sound in general) have been consistently wonderful.

My top 5 most played games on Steam are Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike GO, Warframe and Battlefield Bad Company 2. My most played game of 2016 is Overwatch.
Multiplayer all the way. This is why my backlog is an endlessly increasing pit of despair.

No shame.
Funnily enough, I have several smurf accounts on Dota2, and each of them has about 100 hours clocked. In total, I am over 4000 hours. Not even counting the time watching VOD on Youtube and Twitch.
You scrambled my brain.

I know that feel bro, I'm also missing almost 300 hours in Elite because initially it wasn't on Steam, also Horizon was a separate app for the first 6 month
Seeing this list reminds me that I need to do an NG+ in Zestiria before Berseria hits and I need to revisit XRebirth after 1 years and half.
All in all I'm proud of all this, I've enjoyed every single minutes of my steam library. Even Dota aside the jokes, playing with old Starcraft friends was amazing.

Also sharing my most played on Steam, TF2 idling not included. Shame on my Pillars of Eternity game time because it seemed I played a lot but I sucked and did not learn much.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I'll join in before the complaints come in.

Judging by this gif I bet Mafia 3 will soon be top of my list.
Is that Just Cause 4? oh wait...

I need urgent help please. I accidentally bought something on Steam without funds in my Paypal account or bank account. It went through as a pre-approved payment, which is unfortunate... I have money to put into my Paypal account or bank account to cover the costs, but how long do I actually have before they try to take it? I figure covering the cost on Paypal wouldn't work, since it said it took/is taking most of the money from my bank account. I can put the money into the bank, but I'd need to wait until the morning (about 11 hours).
Am I screwed? I don't want my account to be locked if the payment bounces before I am able to rectify my error. Steam support takes forever, so no point writing them I guess.

This is all just build up to the real question:
Add up your top five playtimes. Is it lower or higher than your average yearly total hours of anime watched?

Yes, I don't watch that much anime. Maybe one or two series per year
