What's that one game you just can't stop playing no matter how hard you try because it's the perfect game? (alien.top)

I always somehow find my way back to playing No Man's Sky. No matter what I do, game I play, activity inside or outside of gaming, NMS is always there to play and chill. Sometimes I go on creative and spend a week amassing the perfect color coordinated team of ships, crew, frigates, and freighter.

Civilization. Just. One. More. Turn.

Now that I think about it, maybe I've never actually had insomnia. Maybe it's just been Civilizaddiction this whole time instead

It hit the ps sub service 2-3 months ago. I tried it out for half an hour and quit, figured this just isn’t for me. A week or two later I decided to commit to it for a weekend and learn how this is supposed to be played. That following week I bought the big bundle and never looked back. Awesome game.

Still not had fun on this game, guess as a bétonner you don’t know where it’s going

I've never heard of someone going to bed at a decent time while playing Civ, that's for sure.

I used to regularly start Civ on my days off when I got up and then eventually realize I’d played for 13 hours without getting up. That game is a fuckin problem.

After playing since 1994, I finally kicked the habit back in 2021, but sometimes I do get an itching to go back. Luckily I don't have time, lol

Can confirm. I’m actually very good at keeping track of time and going to bed at a reasonable time. This works no matter what game I play, be it an engaging single player or a coop game with friends. However, this talent quickly goes away when I play Civ. I can resist any type of temptation when it comes to going to bed on time except Civ‘s just one more turn.
