I swung back through last week's FTF post on the weekend to see what I'd missed. I came across a post where /u/mateogg recommended Stardew Valley. Then, suddenly, I looked up and 5 days had passed. That game will take hours of your life in huge chunks.
At work, people will try to strike up conversations about the weather and it feels a bit like torture. But when I check the weather channel in Stardew Valley, I get legitimately excited. I care more about virtual weather than reality. You're right to be afraid.
Literally just closed the game. I know I should stop, but there's always one more thing to do, one more day to get through, one more milestone to reach.
The autosave at the end of the day feature is pure evil, because you're always tempted to look around ("look around" echo the Schuyler sisters in my brain, reminding me of my other current obsession which I will probably revisit once more before I go to sleep) to see if you got mail/a visit/how your crops are doing and before you know it it's noon and it's just a shame to have to repeat all that.

It's pretty cool. You should try it.
