When playing Civ I lose all sense of time, and even when in the mindset of 'I'm gonna save and quit' there's always one more quick thing to do first. I have to police myself hard because I will lose at least a week if I get into a campaign. I'm not even really a gamer. Games I enjoy I have a difficult time playing for more than a twenty minute spurt. But Civ... Civ is like fucking hypnotoad, it overrides all other feelings and desires. If you find it confusing and boring just go with that and you'll be much better off. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Anti_Iridium@lemmy.world 1 point 4 weeks ago (1 child) Stellaris is the same way.

Do you have any recommendations, for when I'm less busy? permalink fedilink source parent [–] towniepeter 1 point 4 weeks ago (1 child) If you are saying you played Civ and never found yourself saying "just one more turn", you might just come out and admit you are a bot account. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago Nope, can't say I've ever said that.
