Re: been there
Me three. Never looked at it as addiction ('til now), but a similar experience maybe 10yrs back when I stumbled on a copy of Lode Runner. That was difficult to put down, no funning.
Likewise (thanks for the memories) regarding the Orange Sunshine. To this very moment my diet consists of leafy green roughage. No cravings like that old game, though.
I bought all 3 Mass Effect games in 2018. I promised myself not to play them until I finish this 7 year long project I'm wrestling with. I suspect if I do, the project is titsup.
It's up to yourself to know the skin you're in.
