Benchmarking has completely ruined my Steam play time profile
130 hours of Shadow Of The Tomb Raider!?
I don't know if you know this about me, but I love a good list. For the past ten years, I've kept a detailed spreadsheet of all the games I've ever played. The bulk of it catalogues games by platform, but I've also kept a list of all the games I play per year since 2010. Call me crazy, but this document is a great …
