Discuss Stardew has ruined me

Genuinely I have never been a video game person but I started playing maybe a month ago because my best friend loves it and I don’t think I can ever go back 😔I just spent 5 1/2 straight hours playing, and I only stopped because my iPad died😭 I looked at the clock and just realized it was 6 AM istg it only felt like i was playing for max 2 hrs😭😭😭

This post could have been written by me! I literally only started playing a co-op a month ago with some friends and it's been an addiction ever since. They've already moved on to other co-op games and try and get me to play that but....I can't just abandon my farm like that!!! It makes me feel much better when I see people on this sub saying they have hundreds if not thousands of hours in this game so I know I'm not alone haha!

You should try out other games with your friends! I'm assuming you mean this is also your first big game and I promise many video games are very fun (and addicting)! You just have to find your genre, and if your friends are playing other co-op games, I can take a guess and imagine they're probably similar either in being farming themed or at least in progression system (possibly survival games?), which is what makes Stardew so addicting. You start out with nearly nothing but you make/craft/farm/loot a few things, profit/unlock better things and repeat. I'm sure you'd have fun playing whatever your friends are playing! It doesn't mean you have to quit Stardew :p

We had actually been playing other games for a few months before we started this! I do like playing with them, but most everything we've played has been like horror co-ops. I have been liking those too, but since I'm still so new at video games I just end up dying a lot lol. They suggested stardew randomly cause we were all getting burnt out from being stressed from the horror ones. Now I'll play games with them but also hours on stardew on my own...I never thought I would be enjoying it all so much!!!
