Gaming

Thirteen years, 174 games, one obsession.

Steam has kept a precise record since September 2013 — thirteen years of it. Long campaigns, a lot of strategy, and one competitive shooter I have never really stopped playing.

Those hours are 233 days — near enough eight months of continuous play, spread across thirteen years.

Where it all went

4,536.1hours

Counter-Strike 2

81% of everything. Every other game I have ever played, added together, comes to about a fifth of this one. Last played June 2026, which is to say it never really stopped.

Everything else, by hours

Counter-Strike is left off this chart on purpose — on a shared axis it turns every other bar into a sliver.

  2. Far Cry3 titles · 132.5 hrs

    5, Primal and New Dawn — and Far Cry 2 still unopened.
