This is going to sound so tragic, but right now there’s a game called Balatro. It’s like poker, and it’s possibly the most addictive thing ever created. It’s currently on Nintendo Switch and Steam deck, but it’s going to be released on phones, and at that point I think humankind’s activity is going to drop about 25%. I play that in short bursts when I’m writing to reward myself. I do like Ghost of Tsushima and Dave the Diver too, but there’s loads more.

I personally play in short bursts when I procrastinate at home, to reward myself of producing nothing of value. But when it comes out on phone I will also be able to do that when I procrastinate at work !

You can already get Balatro on mobile if you don't feel like waiting, using something like Balatro Mobile Maker.

It's really great on mobile.

Probably better to wait until I finish my probation period

Can't wait for a Video Game Wipe that's an hour of Balatro snark.
