So i just noticed that when i really like the game at some point i will at once play the game and watch the stream/youtube wideo of the game( usualy speedrun or aome hardcore challenge). I noticed it recently with anno 1800 but now that i think about it i did that with tales of arise, eu4 ,kings bounty,total war,hades and probably some more. So i wonder do you have similar strange habits

See, so many of the things below I can think of about games I was addicted to but wasn't really enjoying. Like, if I'm hearing the music while I fall asleep? That's a sign I've been playing it a crap load, but I also can think of many games that sucked me in chasing carrots and kept me up until dawn... but the actual fun parts were fleeting.

Games I actually enjoy have me grinning like a maniac once I start getting into top-tier flow with the actions available, like threading needles in a racing game.
