    I’ve done the math a few times and it currently has cost me about 8 cents per hour played including all dlc

      According to Steam, I’m at 2.29¢ per hour. Even if it’s only half of that – quite a few of those 3,700 hours were spent paused, playing a bit here and there throughout the day – that’s a phenomenal value.

        This is almost my boyfriend’s hours and reasoning (he hit 4k and I side eyed a bit), but he said a lot was load time - he plays with over 400 mods, I usually barely push 150, and that sometimes it was just easier to leave it on than shut down and restart it, and that he’d leave his laptop running in the background while he was at work 😆. Thankfully load isn’t as bad as it was a few years ago, but with that many mods it can still take a bit for him to get in

        I’m pretty sure a fair chunk of mine were from when I was making mods back around 1.0 and just testing
