    I'd say the ideal novel is closer to 250 pages. The ideal biography or history book 350-400 pages. Otherwise this is correct.https://twitter.com/petersuderman/status/1277445996365205506 …

        140 hours is insane for a game. I am usually excited to put 30-40 hours in and then lose interest rapidly.

        Only a great game can justify that much playtime

        Album especially. In the CD era, Albums got waaaay too long. I'd say with movie 90 is a good standard, and you'd better have a good reason to go beyond that.

        a history should be 1000 page if it’s about something I’m interested in.
