First, on my stats page, it says I (*ahem* my kids) played 64 hours of <b>Bugsnax<\/b> but yet that doesn&#8217;t sit in my top-three as shown here.  Second &#8211; yes &#8211; that&#8217;s <b>Skyrim<\/b> as my #1 game of the year.  Wow.<\/p>\n<p>I love stats and despite their complete inaccuracy, I don&#8217;t care.  <b>Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Valhalla<\/b> shows about 55 hours on my PS4 and then another 55 on my PS5.  Don&#8217;t know how Sony tabulates their math, but it&#8217;s simply wrong.  Ultimately, however, my return to <b>Skyrim<\/b> was a wondrous affair, <a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/?p=3501\">as I mentioned several months back<\/a>.  The merger of pandemic lockdown and a somewhat-family-friendly game meant I totally enjoyed diving back in and getting much farther than I did nearly a decade ago.  I will admit that the 60fps mod on the PS5 gives me a bit of a tickle to re-return&#8230;but for now, my backlog is far too large to do such a thing.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Elder Scrolls<\/b> was supplanted by <b>Far Cry 5<\/b>, a not-so-family-friendly game which was as much fun as its predecessors.  I&#8217;ll say, I&#8217;m fairly certain my leader for 2021 is <b>Immortals: Fenyx Rising<\/b>.  I suppose I could check my PS5 to find out.<\/p>\n<p>Some more final stats: I earned almost 800 trophies, topping 2019&#8217;s 536 &#8211; though I had 16 platinums that year thanks to the Vita and its shovelware library.  Additionally, it claims I played 974 hours compared to 2019&#8217;s 351.  I have a feeling that last year&#8217;s number is a bit shy of the real one &#8211; though I did move from Sweden to Italy in 2019.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3715\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/PSN-2019-vs-2020-trophies.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3715\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/PSN-2019-vs-2020-trophies-1024x323.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"142\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/PSN-2019-vs-2020-trophies-1024x323.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/PSN-2019-vs-2020-trophies-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/PSN-2019-vs-2020-trophies-768x242.jpg 768w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/PSN-2019-vs-2020-trophies-1536x484.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/PSN-2019-vs-2020-trophies.jpg 1821w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2020 vs 2019<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two items with which to preface this post.
