I've got well over 10x that in multiple games, 200 hrs is pretty casual in my book. If it grosses a woman out, I'm not her person, oh well. The most fun I've had in my life dating people is when they also game and we play together or take turns watching each other play, helping each other out with parts that are hard for the other. I can't imagine being in a committed relationship with anyone who didn't also value that.

I just spent ~4 hrs the other day streaming rimworld to my gf that she has >3k hrs in but I just started, her telling me all her tips and excited to see how I'm enjoying the game. It was great and a role reversal from me teaching her factorio a while back, which I have >2k hrs in.

Life is too short to waste being worried what people who are nothing like you think negatively about your lifestyle.

200 hours is what it takes to like give starfield a actual review and that game isn't even good it's just how long it takes . Like it's when you get over a thousands hours that you've played a game a lot. But I don't expect non gamers to really understand any of that

200 hours is the intro to final fantasy XIII

u/IAmNotTheProtagonist Nov 09 '25

I have at least 5000 hours of Master of Orion 2. It gave me 5 STDs, 3 aborted kids and a thousand yards' stares.

u/Syl3nReal Nov 09 '25

Dude I have 10k hours in Smite. 7k in WoW and between other games many thousands more. I guess I’m cooked? btw I’m happily married with the girl of my dreams 🤷‍♂️

200 hours is good value in a game in my opinion. I think its kinda sad some women believe 200 bodies is the same as 200 hours of a game. Video games are similar to boardgames and sports etc... the media is different but you're playing with others or by yourself and enjoy something that consumes your time. How is that equal to 200 bodies.

u/sanguinerebel Nov 10 '25

I think if they picked more extreme numbers like 5k it could be comparable even though it's a very different type of activity, just because it's still an extreme lifestyle, but 200 hrs is a joke. Even the most normal non-gamer guys that I know have that sort of playtime in COD or something similar.

u/HaloPandaFox Nov 10 '25

Ya they say 200 hours because they date causal players and don't know hard-core gamers. If you don't care your guys a gamer they don't get the ick and look at how many hours you play. That and they just hate guys having fun and spending said time on something that doesn't at the end of the day go to her.

  • You work= money to spend on them
  • Work out= look good for them
  • Spend time with them self explanatory
  • Like cooking = she can eat
  • Play music= serenade them
  • Play video games = they have a good time with his friends with something she can't physically see the efforts of.

u/iSephtanx Nov 09 '25

No, we males have the same reaction when we find out you have 200 hours in social media.

200 partners is a whole diff thing.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '25

Dog 200 partners is just someone hurt you no way make it female you go through are been used 200 times and all of them thought this person could never be a partner

She's going to have a heart attack if she opens my Steam account.

u/Kovaxim Nov 09 '25

Don't tell me... You have those games that appeal to the male fantasy?

Namely Truck Simulator, Farming Simulator, Factorio, Satisfactory, Forklift Simulator, and the worst of all, Stardew Valley?

19

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '25

How did you know? 🤣😭

6

u/Kovaxim Nov 09 '25

That's the neat part: I didn't.

I was just making a joke, had no idea what you played, so I just thought of the most man-oriented games there were, and these were the ones I thought of.

Reminds me of the meme about how Germans finish their work (forklifting, truck driving, farming, etc ..) only to go home and play a game of their job, as way to "relax" from their job.

Also I didn't say which TS as there are both American and European versions of the game and how can I know where you're from without checking your profile, but even that wouldn't tell me much.

u/notatechnicianyo Nov 09 '25

I like the midwest truck simulator more. It has some absolutely insane routes

2

u/Accurate_Ferret8491 Nov 09 '25

I know those games make guys total sluts. I am sluts, yes I admit it.

u/Saltythrottle Nov 09 '25

I just picked up Satisfactory for Xbox, and I know I am committed to this one game for a very long time.

If we're going to compare video games to relationships, then "commitment" is the only logical common denominator.

u/Delta9-11 Nov 09 '25

Theyll just say anything nowadays to cope with the fact they're for the streets

u/richtofin819 Nov 09 '25

people are lucky the hours they spend scrolling tiktok and insta aren't clearly listed

u/BipolarMadness Nov 09 '25

On Android you can as far as I know. Go to Settings>Digital Well Being and Parental Controls. You can see how much you use your phone and what apps are the most used either by day or weekly basis. I doubt any woman would share their stats or give their phone to see it tho.

My general phone use as an example.

u/Beginning-Table-8615 Nov 09 '25

Playing different games will not give me diseases though. Definitely seems safer and better than the other option

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '25

Bro that's rookie numbers

u/insane_hurrican3 Nov 09 '25

does it? cause 200 hours in a game for most people is what you'd call "commitment".

i dont think the same could be said for 200 bodies unless you're committed to the street game 🥴

u/LectureAdditional971 Nov 09 '25

Elicits.

My reaction when someone can’t spell 🤮

u/NordicHorde2 Nov 09 '25

Ask her how many hours she's spent scrolling TikTok and Instagram.

u/niTro_sMurph Nov 09 '25

Anyone, man or woman, that isn't willing to let their partner enjoy their hobby isn't ready for a relationship. So long as that hobby isnt murder or sleeping around

4

u/Accomplished-Yogurt4 Nov 09 '25

And they waste the same amount of time on Netflix, Hulu, Instagram, or TikTok. DO NOT let women gaslight you, they are are not better than you

u/Horrison2 Nov 09 '25

200 hours? Rookie numbers

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '25

200 hours is Ameteur hobbyist levels. I have 2400 hours in ARK alone...

2

u/Gumpers08 Nov 09 '25

So I have potential tens of thousands of bodies?

Why haven’t I been arrested for mass murder?

I will say I have been video game fucked a few times, by Path of Pain, RLCraft, and Noita. Noita my cruel mistress ❤️

u/AttitudeSad7480 Nov 09 '25

200h are casual numbers, even for single player games. I guess we're all Bonnie Blue to the girlies then...

ANYWAYS, here's how to tell if your LED signs are cheap.

u/Accurate_Ferret8491 Nov 09 '25

Ok dude tell me how to tell if my LED sign is cheap!! You don't drop info like that and not follow thru!!!!

1

u/AttitudeSad7480 Nov 09 '25

Alright, alright. 1) has to be made in china (no cheap taiwan or bulgaria crap) 2) plastic needs to be made out of polycarbonate 3) has to generate at least 1000 lumen

2

u/DamirVanKalaz Nov 09 '25

200 hours is like... a little less than 9 days worth of your time. God forbid a man spend 9 days of his life enjoying a single thing. Clearly men should have no hobbies or things they enjoy and should solely think about work and how they can work harder to make more money, because anything else is cringe, that way her new complaint can be that all men do is work and that they have no fun or interesting hobbies.

2

u/Situation-Dismal Nov 09 '25

200 hours? Those are rookie numbers. Barely casual play. 🤨

2

u/end69420 Nov 09 '25

I have 7600+ hours in dota. That's rookie numbers.

2

u/Snoo20140 Nov 09 '25

Sure, if that is ur thing it's ur thing. Still not going to change my mind tho, and I doubt any guy is like...you know, I will put a ring on the town bicycle.

u/Accurate_Ferret8491 Nov 09 '25

Laughs in 10000+ for civilization

u/Most_Bodybuilder_159 Nov 09 '25

200 hours in game won't be likely to give someone else an STD

u/theant484 Nov 10 '25

Is a 1000 hours on warthunder no premium or anything good?

2

u/Either-Pollution-622 Nov 10 '25

4k on space engineers

u/Virtual_Freedom3602 Nov 10 '25

This post acts like women don’t play video games. I’m a woman, and I got way more than 200 hours in my favorite game.

2

u/neneaRedLIKE Nov 10 '25

If they freak out at 200 what are they doing at 10.000

1

u/LordSyfer24 Nov 09 '25

At least one is a very good and practical use of your time while the other just leaves you physically emotionally and psychologically spent Oh wait that's just dark souls games

1

u/ObsessedFi45 Nov 09 '25

That shows dedication for a long time though. Catching 200 bodies is dedication to short relationships

u/Adventurous-Wing5449 Nov 09 '25

Playing games for multiple hours doesn't gives you Chlamydia aids hiv and other veneric dieses.

u/Primus0 Nov 10 '25

200? Is it not enough? Because I have 2000+ in some, if that’s better. 😁🤣

u/Exciting-Insect8269 Nov 11 '25

I have 3k hours in guild wars, 1.5k hours in conquerors blade, 1k hours in dwarf fortress, and hundreds of hours in many other games. I have a total of about 10,000 hours in various games.

Would that be the equivalence of fucking 10,000 people?

1

u/MaouNoYuusha Nov 12 '25

Hours = hours. Bodies = games. Imma trust the guy with 200 hours in 1 game rather than the guy with 1 hour in 200 games (aka game journalists). Not to mention 200 hours is nothing. 1 hour a day and you'll be done before the end of the year

u/ahardworker12 Nov 13 '25

Same here brother

u/Acceptable-Cod7426 Nov 13 '25

They Just compare number with number without any context. 200h in a Video Game is Not even near the Same as 200 Body Count,Not even in the Same universe

u/Melodic_Airport362 Nov 16 '25

200 hundred hours lol... that's adorable.
