I do try to go to bed at a reasonable time usually but sometimes I feel like I have to do a little decompressing at the end of the day. Sometimes I'll write, draw, or play games. Sometimes I'll get so invested I don't even realize that I have completely destroyed my sleep schedule. It's called balance ... I guess.

You know how cats are sitting still staring at something, and you're like "how can that cat sit still so long and stare at something?" It's this. The entire world is a game to them.

To be fair, if you could see all the ghosts you'd be staring too

The ghosts are the game. The cats are game-masters. That's why terrible things happen to us if we displease them.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Play Balduts Gate 3 on steam deck. You’ll be done in ~45min. Or rather the battery will be.

I've been playing computer games for decades, and I have NEVER experienced anything like that.

Nah, you didn't really destroy your sleep schedule if the sun isn't already rising. Unless you need to get up at like 3, I guess.

Ghost dad has kids. He's up at about 2.30 to get them back to sleep

I had this experience but in an airplane. I love my steam deck.
