What if when you die...

What if when you die in real life, you were presented with a stats page; what stats would you be curious about? How many times you’ve said “I love you”? How many pounds of skin cells you’ve shed? For me, one I would like to see is how many times I’ve done the dishes. I know it’s trite, but it seems like a lot. Maybe they could even have a subset of stats, like how many times your wife thinks you do the dishes compared to her, hehe.

What kind of stats do you like to keep track of in your video games?  Like time played, of course, deaths, distance travelled. What are some games that have good or fun stat tracking?

Honestly the only stat i usually look for is how long it took me to finish the game. To me personally, when a game becomes too dependent on stat management it stops being a video game.

EDIT: Just want to make clear not to confuse this topic with character RPG attributes, that's a different type of stats and it's always welcome.

Ohh, what about Christmas presents opened?
It’s been awhile since I played them but I think the newer Fallout games had some funny ones. Might be confusing that with another game though.

the cynic in me sees those (how many gifts opened, or x y z activities done, etc) as potential cash shop tracking tactics so i don't pay attention to those.

First Question: Number of times I said something, where not saying it would have been better.

Second Question: Pretty much all of them.

How many times I told my mom I was combing my hair in the bathroom growing up, and that's why it took so long?

Gut Out!

I suppose how many good people in my life who love me as much as I love them (awwwwwww)

How many good friends.

Kind of the only thing that really matters to me.
