Game Activity - We should be able to choose what is shown on our profiles
I suggest a more customizable rich presence so that people can choose exactly what they want others to see as their status. Currently, if you're playing a verified game, discord will show it on your profile no matter what unless you have turned off game activity from the settings.
This should be able to work so that if a person is running a low-priority application i.e. Firefox without administrator access and set it as their "game activity", starting up a verified game or other high-priority application like Spotify will not cancel out the current status and delete its progress shown in hours.

As far as I understand, the application Discord shows as your current game activity is always determined by which window is in focus. If you have Spotify, Firefox, and a game open, but the game is in focus, the game displays as the current activity.
Take that with a grain of salt, though, since I'm basing it off of a relatively small amount of experimentation on my part.

It does work like that but what I suggest is that this feature be changed so that Discord would display what you want, not what you're currently doing. It would be like combining the custom status feature and game activity so that it's more user-friendly. Its main use would be to hide your activity from all the servers you're in while not having to turn off "Display currently running game as a status message." or letting people get that "Playing ... for 6 days" status message.
Another possibility is to add a hidden timer to all the programs that you have added to your game activity list which will keep counting the hours even when a certain window isn't currently focused which will then switch your status message according to the window you've focused and display the corresponding play time.
