Just hit 500 hours in our shared Stardew Valley farm file

My partner and I started this save about two years ago, just playing a couple nights a week. We checked the in-game clock last night and it said 500 hours exactly. That's more time than I've spent on any single-player game by a huge amount. It really hit me how much of that time was just us hanging out and talking while we watered crops or went mining. What's the most hours you've all put into a single couch co-op game?

My buddy and his wife had a similar thing with Overcooked 2. They must have put over 300 hours into it, which is nuts for a cooking game. He said they'd just turn it on after dinner and end up yelling about burgers for two hours, but it was their main way to unwind together. It's funny how those simple co-op games become the background for so many real conversations.

That Polygon article called it "couch co-op therapy.

Is it really "therapy" if you end up yelling about fake food for two hours though? I get that it's bonding time, but calling it therapy feels like a stretch. It's just a fun game you play together.
