How do I spend more than 1 hour doing content in this game?

Solo Palace of the Dead / Heaven on High / Eureka Ortho is amazing fun!
I don't like to do treasure maps with randoms, I play it with 1 friend. So my tank friend and I as DPS (If lucky at final boss floor I switch to healer,unless toad boss)
Not only because it is more fun with my friend, but it takes more time to kill things, and during it, we talk about many random things and meme about the monsters.
We also refer monsters by food types, and laugh about everything. Otherwise, we que to get the mount or crafting material for the barding, and scream when fail !
I think there is a lot to do, but it does not need to take too long, as long as the 1-2 hours you spend in the game are enjoyable, rather than AFK in Limsa, I feel it is good.
If nothing of this interest you, I think decorating apartment and taking pictures of each room corner is a lot of fun. It was something I use to do a lot.
Because there is so many furnitures, bringing out new idea room decorations, and crafting them by your own hands, it feels like building your own home in new styles ^^

DD solo is masochist content though. The perfectly average player will try it exactly one time, realize that all they've gotten out of it for their 10hr investment when they die to a toading & snake gimmick on floor 122 was three satchels with two magicked prisms and a wardrobe for the house they don't have and never come back. The major problem is that you need to die every stupid death and see the outcome of every dumb decision once before you have a real chance of beating any of those and that alone will take 100 hours+. And then you still gotta be at near mastery level with the game in general.

I found it hilarious when a certain streamer from another MMO came over a couple years ago and was like yeah I'm gonna solo clear this (PotD) in one week and then a while after he just stealth dropped the idea and never talked about it again because he realized it's not gonna work out.
