Please don't mention anything even remotely related to Civ on this site for the next few days. I have too much to do.
You sure you don't want one more turn at this?
😥
My apologies, I've accidentally seen the sun rise a few times while playing civ
Thankfully for me I find the game too confusing and boring to be enjoyable, because liking it seems like a really bad idea if you have an addictive personality.
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.
Nope, can't say I've ever said that. I'm sorry but the game is way too complicated and my ADHD is way too severe. Couldn't even make it past the tutorial.
Truly. 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.
Stellaris is the same way. When I got hooked I played 40 hours by Thursday. And I was in college, so I realized then I needed to be careful
That's funny. Stellaris is the one game I have specifically forbidden myself from playing, so it's good to get confirmation that it would ruin my life!
But I really wanna try that Star Trek mod.
It's definitely an enjoyable experience though, I have somehow managed to keep it at 220 hours. I will say after the first couple of games I started adding a titan (an endgame ship that you can build a handful of) to my new save files because I'm here for fun.
Might have to try some of the mods, and lose even more of my life to it!
There are a lot of neat mods that really amp it up.
I don't think I've ever used a mod with any of them. Do you have any recommendations, for when I'm less busy?
