This is one of those games I have in my backlog but I'm scared to start it without being prepared to lose endless hours in it

You are correct to be scared, my dad doesn't play games and has sunk thousands of hours into it.
My wife doesn’t game either but holding a tablet for hours and months gave her “tennis elbow” and she was finally essentially ordered to quit by her doctor. Lmao.
This game is hella addicting.
I just picked it up to play casually on steam deck, and it’s fun; in the same vein as Animal Crossing with a 16 bit RPG style. Plenty of depth and homestead building. You are correct that it’s a huge time suck, but unlike AC, you don’t have FOMO of missing days/events when you don’t play. It’s been a great de-stress distraction when I’ve needed it most.
I find it addicting for a few days. Then I put it down for awhile.
It's a great game to go back to and pick up where you left off because you can go in any direction you feel like going in. "Losing your place" and not knowing what you were doing doesn't really happen. You just start doing whatever you feel like again. It's an excellent casual game you can play on one save for years.
But when you do go back you'll be hooked for awhile all over.
I get the apprehension, I really do! But at its core, it's still a charming, chill farming game. Just try it out, ignore the hype...
I'm on a major SV binge at the moment, really looking forward to this.
Are you the creator of Stardew Valley?
No, Nano is the mod of this community and a huge (automatic?) poster of gaming news.
I am a human (I think). Can't tell these days who is a human tippity tapping away at their keyboard.
Strangely though no one can ever get a clear photo of you
skill issue
Bleep bloop, fellow human!
Currently playing this myself. I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm yet to really venture to the desert mines or the island.
