Speaking of tv, it is weird when you get to around 30-40 and realize the majority of people on shows and in films are now younger than you. All those young adults that always looked like grown-ups, you realize how they're practically babies.
It almost applies to everything I guess, not just media, once you're at the mid-ages. But it's especially striking there, because you keep watching those same shows and movies from time to time. The actors don't age, but your perception of them changes.
Slay the Spire
There are a bunch of games that I'll get super into, play for a while, then be finished with.
Slay the Spire taps perfectly into every compulsive center of my brain to make me keep playing. Like, we talk about 'addictive' games usually just as ones you like a lot... this is the first time I started to see it closer to actual addictive (though not actually a serious thing for me). It's such a sweetspot for my habits, I feel like I'd just keep saying 'one more run' so consistently, hours, days would evaporate. It kept me busy, to the detriment of doing other things.
You get on a good run, better keep going. You lose a run, might as well just start a new one and see if you have good opening luck. There's rarely a point that feels like "I should stop", until some IRL obligation comes up.
I still go back to it often when I just want an enjoyable way to kill time, or do something while I watch videos/tv on the side.
Other games with roguelike elements tap into this feeling too, like Balatro, Vampire Surviors, or Hades. But STS is where it felt strongest to me.
