I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

My dumbass ex-brother-in-law is deep in the process of losing his wife and two kids largely because of his EVE Online addiction.

I'm from Thailand. We have a term called เกมหมา (dog game) which means a shitty game that gets you raging. The list varies from person to person but every list so far includes Dota 2 and League of Legends (which I have personally played). Other honorable mentions include:

  • Free Fire
  • Fortnite
  • PUBG
  • Minecraft
  • Roblox
  • FIFA Online

What I am seeing here is that mostly people regret playing free to play games. That tells me that their business model is working as intended but we should all wise up.

My regret is spending too much time making cool mods work together and then not playing the games, oblivion was the worst because I didn't get it until skyrim was a year or two old and there were so many stupid mods out already. Most of them are janky or old and have incompatibilities with each other. I discovered pretty quickly that I need less options not more in open world rpgs because I'm an adult and don't have time to play games the way my heart wants to (look in every door, under every bush, around every corner).

Thomas the Tank Engine on SNES. Me and my mates used to find it hilarious when high. Still do.
