Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

I had to put balatro down after spending 4 days straight trying to get conpletionist++. After the few hundred hours it took to get the rest of the achievements. I will get those last damned rare Jimbo's at some point!!
Rares are the easy part, it's the damn food commons that threw me off of it

Honestly, the good thing about that is that everything is hand crafted. So exploring is really rewarding IMO. A good example is an area where you find tons of power slugs.
I can appreciate that. Maybe I’ll revisit my spaghetti base one day and try to finish.

For me it was Terraria, Satisfactory, Tetris Effect Master Mode, Minecraft with Mekanism mod & CSGO / CS2 (almost 2000 hours in CS alone).

️ 🫡wrote last edited by [email protected]Right now I'm really hooked on Lucky Tower Ultimate. I've never been this into anything like it before, roguelites mostly bore me, but this game has such a goofy charm and - for an Early Access game - surprisingly deep explorability. It's my go-to game for picking up my Steam Deck and screwing around for 20 minutes or an hour. I'm still having a ton of fun with it.

️ 🫡wrote last edited by [email protected]Dota without question. CS along with some rts games like zero hour and CoH used to be up there but it's not even close. Got to a ranked immortal at my peak. Still, was a lot of fun playing with friends and family, so not like it was always a solo activity. Glad I quit though.

️ 🫡Short term: Dishonored and Far Cry 3. I beat Dishonored in a day and then turned around and beat it again. I played Far Cry 3 for like 22 hours straight, took a nap, and then beat it.
Long term: New Vegas. The same problem with Dishonored, where it was so good I had to turn around and beat it again as soon as I got done. The problem being, there's hundreds of ways to play through New Vegas. So I put about 11 full playthroughs with all DLC in on the PS3 version. Essentially back to back to back.

Path of Exile. And by extension Path of Building.
I've only played like 8 leagues (each league is around 3 months long) and I have almost 5k hours :/.
Usually if I decide to play a league, i will make sure I have no obligations for an entire month and then I will take the first week of the league off work.
Have you tried Last Epoch?

Came here to say this. Over 4 years clean now. There were a lot of good times with the squad. And I guess it gave me a relatively high APM which helps at work.

️ 🫡wrote last edited by [email protected]Fallout. I played 1 and 2 back when they first came out. Great games, great writing, seditious humour ad a real feel of a world.
But then came 3, FNV, and 4. Each of those I played through as my default 'helpful stealth archer' character, then a second time as 'evil melee' character, and then again to make sure I had maxed out each faction and got each ending. And then again, because I loved it, and again to collect all the bobbleheads, magazines, etc.
I'm in my late-50s. I'm already slowing down my career in preparation for retirement, and now I work as a freelance consultant which means I have some control over my working hours. I can't wait for Fallout 5. I will be probably take at least two weeks off work to binge the shit out of it.
Less so with Elder Scrolls 6, but I'll be taking at least a week off to play it when it drops.

well said! I should check out Enshrouded. I just bought Factorio after finally learning it never goes on sale, lol. and then immediately got lost in two other gangs, now doing a fourth Stardew Valley playthru
also fyi there's no hyperfocus type of ADHD; that's just a broad effect of executive dysfunction
wrote last edited by [email protected]I just bought Factorio after finally learning it never goes on sale, lol.
I always try to buy games on sale, so I've been avoiding Factorio on principle. Their developers refuse to lower the price because they feel there no point in setting a price for a game, then discounting it every once in a while to draw in new players. They believe it's a $30 game, so they want everyone to pay $30 to play it, period.
Fortunately, I won a Steam key for it in a raffle, so I got it for free. And I'm glad, because I don't feel it's worth even $30. It's not a bad game, but I personally would've paid $10-15 max for it.

True, but explaining the nuances of ADHD in a thread that's not specifically focused on it is complicated. Especially since we're still trying to define the vague differences between ADHD, autism, ADD, and a few other cognitive disorders. Some things are merging under umbrella terms (e.g. ADD doesn't really exist anymore; it's now a form of ADHD) and other distinctions are getting blurry, with too many cross-over symptoms to clearly define. Much easier to just point out that one of my greater symptoms of ADHD is hyperfocus.

Have you kept it on the same version of vanilla MC for the last 8 years? Or do you upgrade to newer versions periodically?

️ 🫡I bought No Man's Sky about a year ago. There's something comforting in the repeated tasks and exploring. I spend entire days just running around accomplishing nothing.

Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, Derail Valley Simulator, Terraria, and Vintage Story.
I didn't expect Vintage Story to suck me in as hard as it did, but now I've clocked in 40 hours since I bought it a few weeks ago.
Great game, though finding an iron vein was a pain.
