Asking because I think I've played too much Garry's Mod in a single lifetime.
2618hrs is 3.5 months or 0.3 years - granted I have played the game since 2015.

That seems pretty low. I knew a guy that used to play ark. Over 3 years he had like over 2.5 years of playtime. He literally did nothing but play ark. He's wake up at random hours of the night to play with his buddies on the other side of the world, he'd spend literal weeks farming and shit to hatch his stupid fucking dinosaurs then only to have some motherfuckers come and wipe out literal days worth of effort and time. I don't think I've ever seen a video game that's closer to the experience of being addicted to hard drugs than Ark.

I think crack might of genuinely been a healthier alternative.

"too much" isn't something measured in hours. "too much" is measured in impact. has it taken enjoyment from your life? has it damaged your relationships with friends and loved ones? I've been playing Doom off and on for 30 years. my total playtime would easily exceed 10k hours. however, Doom has never been a destructive influence in my life. after work today, I will play some more Doom (I'm replaying the Ashes WADs). I expect my lifetime Doom hours to inflate even more going forward. in short, nice humble brag about your play time bitch, 2.5k is chump shit, grow some nuts and come back when you're a real gamer.

As long as it's not more than a couple per day then it doesn't matter even if they're all in one game and you have 10,000 racked up over time.

That said, you picked a pretty boring game so even 1 is too much.
