How to boost hours in my games while offline? Virtual machine?

[davidj123456]

I only have one device. I need it for work/college. But I want to boost my hours in like 4-8 games at the same time. A bunch of these games I had played on multiple accounts for whatever reason and I want to credit those hours to this one account.
I DO NOT care or want trading cards.
I DO NOT want to risk being banned. If this is not allowed please tell me.

Is there a way to rent a virtual machine and do this? What is the best way to do this legit?

Use ASF or something similar.

What is ASF and what is something similar?

I was going to look for translations, but as a UK citizen, you'll be able to read the Wiktionary pages just fine.

I do not think you understand. You stated "or something similar". I have no idea what ASF is or what applications are similar to it either. I read up on ASF and heard people can get banned for it. Hence why I am asking if you know of any applications that are "similar"... since you literally said so yourself...

Where did you hear that? I've been hearing Covid-19 vaccines contain microchips designed to turn us into zombies, but that doesn't make it any more real.
Anyway, I suggest you understand first, what ASF actually does. Then you can keep digging for similar programs.

I have never heard of any idling software leading to bans.

Your only options are, use third party software such as the one ReBoot mentioned, or if you do not trust it, literally idle the game by leaving it open on your PC.
