This game looks like work. I play games to avoid work.
It's absurdly addictive, it's hard to explain to your family why you're having fun making spreadsheets for the game
I eventually quit playing Eve Online when I realized that I was basically just looking at fancy spreadsheets all night.
they actually built a spreadsheet program into the game lol
It occurred to me that I was basically day trading in eve, and spending a ton of time learning systems, and researching deals, and that if I'm going to do that, I should do it IRL, for real money.
It’s ADHD bait. When I am on my meds, I get a dopamine hit every time I progress or solve something.
