Topic: Does anybody else do this regarding time played for each game?

Every game or application played that is recorded on the Daily Log has to have a multiple of exactly 10 minutes for each day played. No more or less. 5 minutes one day and 5 minutes the next day doesn't count.

Also every month has to have a minimum of 100 hours of game time played on the Daily Log. Then multiples of 10 hours over 100 hours. So if I go just one minute over 100 hours, I have to keep playing until I reach 110 hours. If I go past a day or month without achieving my set record, then I have to change the date back to a particular day and keep playing.

Dude. OCD is not a good thing to have. It can rule your life. Seek help.

I have OCD regarding certain things, but dang, yours is a much more extreme example.

Whenever I use the Wii U Browser, I always make sure Nintendo Life occupies the top spot of my Favorite Bookmarks, with GameXplain's YouTube channel being #2. I always make sure I visit the GameXplain and Nintendo Life pages the same number of times, but I do Nintendo Life last so it will appear on top. Every time I want to check out GameXplain, I have to also visit Nintendo Life and vice-versa.

This doesn't pertain to games, but I also eat many foods in weirdly specific intervals. If I'm eating, say, a chicken nugget, I take four bites. On the first bite, I bite to the right and with no barbecue sause on the nugget. On the second bite, I dip it in barbecue sauce and bite to the left. I repeat this pattern for the third and fourth bites. I do the same sort of thing with french fries, cheese sticks, and other foods, though not always in the same intervals.

I also tend to make shapes by connecting numbered dots in my head... This one's a bit hard to explain, but it's an OCD, nonetheless. I could go on forever. I have to have my amiibo arranged in a specific way, I constantly bite my fingernails because I can't stand for them to grow out, and I have a certain pattern for brushing my teeth.

Yeah I can get caught up playing games with that 'one more go' thought ending up with several, but I'd never take it that far. When you're at a point where you're playing to satisfy an arbitrary number of time, I'd say that's a concern.

I can't honestly remember the last time I checked out the Activity Log. The most important part of playing a game for me is actually enjoying it, rather than how long I've played it.

@GrizzlyArctos: surely you can appreciate, though, that with some games, the time you put in (grinding) is important for what you get out.

... woof. OP, I agree with some others here. That sounds like a concerning level of OCD.

I don't check the activity log. I'm sure I've put in tons of hours into Smash Bros and Splatoon. Those are the two games I play the most.

I buy a lot of games though that I play for a few days or weeks and then give up on because I lost interest. That would be Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Yoshi's Wooly World and Wind Waker HD. I did almost do a 100% completion in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker but couldn't bother myself to finish it because the last few levels were just grueling. I might do it some day though.

I've also kind of retired in Super Mario Maker as far as making levels but I still play other people's levels here and there. It's just very time consuming to make a great level and I'm stubborn but I could see myself getting back into it.

Same here. I don't really care how many hours I put in a game, I just want to finish each game I play.

This reminds me of the what are your most played 3DS games thread and I started seeing people posting they've played the activity log for 50 hours.

It's only OCD if you're suffering. Otherwise, it is OCPD.
