2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

I'm curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don't know the total hours because I've had so many accounts over the years I don't even remember half my passwords, but it's definitely in the thousands of hours now. I've played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.

I've also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don't know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I've never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.

What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?

I'm on the Distant Worlds 3 expedition. I've been relying on the carrier shuttling to keep pace. I wanted to try flying myself form waypoint 12 to 13. Something like 8,000ly in a week. I'm still heading to my second POI along the way, 4kly from wp 12, 4kly to poi 2, and then it's another 4kly to wp 13. I've been going 7 days out of 10 available before they go to wp 14. They're all undiscovered systems so it's hard to convince myself to just honk and scan and leave without at least mapping bio signs... For science. And just like that, it became a family road trip "vacation"

I'm no noob, either. 1300 hours and several of prior 5-10kly exploration trips. 50ly jump range and the neeeeed to scan
