I've been putting four hours per day into Stardew Valley.
On the one hand...yeah I'm enjoying it that thoroughly.
On the other hand...imagine what that time could have been spent doing.
I could have recorded affirmation videos.
I could have done more work on my discord. Done discord art for it.
I could have worked more on mapping out my plurality.
I could have done more work on my spirituality.
I could have started the art for my two emotes I want to make.
I could have done work on my novel.
I could have edited my poem I wrote back on Thursday.
I could have done...so many things.
And I spent the time on a game.
Which...I mean...the Stardew Valley brainrot is very real. But like...
...I am in a situation where we have so much we should be doing.
We should be trying to assemble my PC.
We should be trying to get more income.
I should be checking to see if I am getting an income raise, and asking if I can work more hours otherwise.
I dunno, I just feel like...I'm wasting time I couldn't afford to waste.
I know, can't stress out too much.
I know, I need to enjoy myself.
But like...this level of enjoyment...it feels excessive.
So I just...need to get control of myself.
I don't want to miss out on the good things in life by playing a game that's never going away.
