My ND NT husband will just like, play a game every once in a while when he feels like it. He’ll just pick it up every so often, maybe play a few days in a week, and then leave it be again for a while to come back to later.

Meanwhile I will get into a game and spend every waking hour playing it. My sleep, diet, work, hygiene, all suffer to varying degrees. I give myself wrist pain and thumb calluses. I will not rest until I 100% it. And if I can’t, I’ll stop and most likely never pick it up again.

Anyway, anyone else playing Silksong?

    This is why I avoid MMOs. Several years ago I picked up one again and ended up accumulating over 1000 hours over several months. And I didn’t even play the main story for the most part. I remember clan members’ reaction: “wtf, how have you not finished the story after so many hours played”. The only reason I stopped literally over night was because I had something traumatic happen to me the following morning that fucked my life up for good. It quite literally required a life-changing event to shake me out of it.
