Everything is just faked and it's obvious how it's faked

I still can't believe that merchants retrieve their wares in that game from a chest. It would make sense if players could somehow steal it without exploits but nope, they honest to god put in the chests and did it so that players couldn't reach it
Enemy ships shoot straight at your ship geometry center so to activate god mode players just created ships that have nothing in the center
Planet POI spawn around the player and not planet wide, so it's easy to tell that those features weren't actually there, they just popped in because you happened to be in range
Super immersion breaking
And the loading screens. Starfield could give a serious competition if GOTY had a loading screen simulator category
Even ladders are loading screens ffs

Anyway, does anyone have a way to accurately calculate the amount of focus time a day?
I mean, you could have like a timer, then pause the timer every single time you break, but i feel like that method is kinda stress to do, since you would be always nervous about the timer ticking.
Or do exactly 1 hours focus without flinch, then take a break, then work again. But i also feel like that is just not very good because of the the exact time limit.
Is there any way to chill about 8 hours or 12 hours and still can calculate the focus time.
