I do know, I am a monster! However I type of fell off about 3/4 of the best way via the sport, not as a result of it is unhealthy however as a result of, I do not know, typically video games go on for fairly a very long time and if you happen to play them “fallacious” (making an attempt to min-max them or making an attempt to squeeze out 100% of the whole lot) you possibly can tucker your self out earlier than you get to the end line. It isn’t concerning the high quality of the sport, it is extra like making an attempt to run a marathon and never pacing your self. Now that I’ve taken a protracted break, I am in all probability able to dash that closing bit!
