He plays it on the toilet, while watching shows together, when we’re out at a restaurant having dinner, and even after sex. I’ve had to had conversations with him about how that makes me feel uncomfortable when he reaches for his phone minutes after finishing just to play that game and now it’s become a rule. It’s crazy

    The xp per level starts to skyrocket one you get higher up in levels so level 115 isnt even 25% of the way to max level (155)

    I also overly commit to everything I do, so I ran a guild in a game called "idol heroes". To support my guild and keep us in the top I'd spend HUNDREDS a week on the game. It was a huge problem, I eventually had to give a friend my login and told him to change my password and not give it back. I wasn't about to start over so that broke it for me.

    Bro I went on a trip to Amsterdam a week ago and I downloaded bloons because you guys kept talking about it. 7 and a half hour flight no sleep, no movies, just bloons. I haven't set it down since.
