For everyone having opinions about how many hours this person has spent playing RDR2, you should probably note that he's an RDR2 Youtube and Twitch content creator/streamer. So at face value, it has been his job for the last 2.5 years.

Factorio is Linux native though.
I can probably figure it out, but I use Linux for servers only. I’d have to jump through some hoops to get it running. The lifestyle changes I mentioned have displaced gaming in my dopamine system. I also never want to get sucked in again. That is my main defence.
Yay steam .... Installing...
Alt d Type steam Click or hit enter on app from dmenu.
Done.
Hardly something one figures out or learns to do, esp if they already use Linux.
Although the angle of: Losing his characters is the best thing that's happening for him due to wasting a very significant part of his life in video games has some merit (but could be worded differently), this is yet another example on why you shouldn't depend on these platforms for anything of value, specially Google. The immense pressure to transform/re-frame everything as a service, aka: "You'll own nothing and be…
I was wondering if how many people buy into the vision "Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better". https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldeconomicforum/2016/11/10/s...

Yeah but isn't that a single player game ? Even if it had 100+ hours of gameplay, you'd have to repeat that so many times to get to 6000 hours Very different from someone that plays video games a few hours every day
This is entirely dependent on the person. Some people have to have something new every single day, and some people like to enjoy the same stuff. Some people try new beers every time they go out, and some people drink their favourite. Years back, I spent roughly 20,000 hours in WoW, starting 2006 and the last time I played, a year or two ago. 20,000 hours doing the same stuff, one could argue, but those hours have bro…

Making those kinds of value judgements usually suggests the person making the judgement has some work to do on themselves. The real question is: Is that person happy/content/comfortable. That's what matters, however they get there.
Is short lived feel good chemicals all that matters? Doesn't sound like a healthy life philosophy to live by.
I could have been reading, or running.
6k hours devoted to a hobby is not that much for an adult.

I know people that read that much but we don't go around telling bookworms they're addicts. It's up to each person to decide where the line is for them, where a satisfying hobby becomes a destructive habit. If someone has no desire to form external relationships and they're completely content with their life, good for them for figuring things out. I'm not going to impose my arbitrary rules on them. I love RDR2 and pl…
But in this case it’s more like reading the one same book, over and over again for 6hrs a day, every day.

That's not including holidays, weekends and such...
Then again, not all of that time might have been spent actually playing. Perhaps that user enjoyed music from the game or left it on and running for some other reason.
