Oh yes and on games I often pause them to look up some random question like which skill is the best to inherit or something. I do soo much research on games I play despite my best intentions to just be in the moment.
IME, the "story" is what happens between my deep-dives from the railing of the baked-in plot-ship. ๐คฃ
I think this is why certain games very much overwhelm and overstimulate me. Luckily it's a time sink that I don't really need to have in my life anyways, beyond random occasions when I find something that pulls me in.
