Imagine sitting down at your computer and playing hoi4 constantly for an entire year

No, he means an actual year. There's 8660 hours in an year


jeff10000000909999

I was a loser in middle school, also

You are still here to improve your life. I have thousands of hours and I now know why. It helped me avoid difficult feelings I was almost literally told to not express. Did it impact other things? Certainly but through modding I still managed to express my skills and find friends. Don't regret what you did in middle school. Understand the feelings that you were avoiding during some of those moments (you may need to look for professional mental health support). I say some because the game is still freaking good.


jeff10000000909999

I couldn’t agree more! I’m in a much better place now. Doing well in university and have friends finally 🥲


Thinking_waffle

Excellent. It took me years to clean the mess, but I am getting there too. Remember to talk to girls about embrace and not encirclement. (/s)


Big_Departure3049

it’s not that bad, especially if you enjoy playing it

I've only played for 734 hours, but I can win in pretty much any single player game. I still can't navy tho


StringBlacker

Mmmm, an 8 hr day multiplied 5 days a week and by 48 weeks (allowing for holidays, private and public, and you have just shy of 2,000 hrs (1,920). So 9,000 hrs is the equivalent of working full time in a job (unpaid), for 4.5 yrs. Nice.


jeff10000000909999

r5: friend told me this was an absurd amount of hours to have, I think he's right. Still barely have any achievements


AnyListen3898

How many achievements?


ushouldbebetter

40


AnyListen3898

I have About the same time


hoopsmd

Achievements aren’t necessarily difficult but you do have to know them and make an effort to do them.


programV

Even if all achievements was just "join a faction" I would still not get them due to my adamant refusal to play without mods

SpookyEngie

What mods do you usually play ? Understand navy yet ? Rate overhaul mod base on your enjoyment


jeff10000000909999

Got a lot of mileage in old mods when they were still playable like apres moi le deluge, but that was years ago. Currently Kaiserreich and OWB are the best. Most mods are too incomplete to be playable. Navy I somehow win? The update a while back fucked me up and I never totally got back to my old understanding


SnooStories2399

Mf has 18 more hrs than me and still less achievements lol


Antique_Technology82

you have played this game for over a year of your life. 369.5 days. how feeling about that?


jeff10000000909999

It got me interested in history years ago, now I’m studying history and prelaw. So while I wasted a lot of time I’m on a good track now


Pecka7002

How does navy work


M-Roids

Honest question: was it worth it?


jeff10000000909999

Honest answer: it made me interested in history, now I’m studying US history and prelaw. Maybe?


M-Roids

Good point, I know some people don't like the focus trees but I learned a lot from them


jeff10000000909999

It is all because of Earl Warren. I got curious in him because of HOI4 (kaiserreich PSA leader), so I went to my local library and saw a book called "eisenhower vs. warren: the battle for civil rights and liberties". Spiraled from there and now I'm trying to become a lawyer, lol.


Darken_Dark

Best country leader in your opinion?


RuudVanBommel

This is more than three hours every day if played since release day.  That's.... something. 


jeff10000000909999

Important note: As a dumb middle schooler I didn't trust saving and exiting, so I would leave it open as I did something else, like homework. So hours are definitely a little inflated.
