There are a few magic spells that can turn 10:30pm into 2:30am quite effectively:

  • "I'll just boost iron production and then go to bed."
  • "Landing on Eve won't take me that long."
  • "Just one more turn..."

"I'll just watch this video of a disney hotel review, it can't be that long"

[–] TheRealKuni 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This video on YouTube plagiarism can’t be that long…

Never underestimate yt video essays and livestream vods. That hbomberguy video falls under the former.

[–] TheRealKuni 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh I love that shit. See also every video by channel Shaun (the skull with glasses).

Also Three Arrows.

Yeap I did that one. Last night it was the full history of Pan Am.

"I don't know James Rolfe" last night... But totally worth it. Every frame a painting and just enthralling for the film choices Dan makes in the production.

4 hours later ...

I've said this before, but Factorio is genuinely the only thing that has made me lose track of time before. When I'm goofing off into the wee hours of the night, normally I have a vague sense of time passing. I won't know what time it is, but I'll know that it's late and I should probably stop whatever it is I'm doing (and won't). And then I'll look at the clock and it's 2am-- late, but not surprising.

But then came Factorio. This was when I first started playing, around the time I just started making black science packs. I was refitting my bases to work with laser turrets, and making minor modifications here and there like upgrading from 2 saturated belts of iron to 4 and such. Nothing major. I'd just do these things, maybe an hour or two, and head to bed. So you can imagine my surprise when I look at the clock and it was 5:30 AM. I was baffled; I had no idea I'd spent that long modifying my base. Like 7 hours straight, no breaks. And then the exhaustion hit, and I saved and went immediately to bed.

Cracktorio man, the addiction is real.

"I'll just fix this one bug"

[–] Matriks404 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Or what I did recently: "Just go to war over claim for Kingdom of Serbia, that can't be that long".

[–] NielsBohron 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

God, I spent so much time I didn't have playing KSP.

On the plus side, I did learn the basics of rocket science, so it wasn't a total waste of time...

There's always a relevant xkcd

Are we a cult? Civ was my first thought and there you were up top.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We are the cult of Civ and Sid Meier is our prophet.

[–] Brickhead92 1 points 8 hours ago

And he said unto them "just one more turn"...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

All these apply to me

[–] NegativeInf 8 points 4 days ago

Hmm. I think I'll just rewrite this compressive memory code real quick... And it's dawn.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A moment ago, it was 2330 and I figured I should go to bed.

It is now 0058.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

If it was 0079 I would have said you dropped some acid while "just one more turn"ing it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

FUCK, it's already 3:00PM

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Well, going from 11:59 PM to 12 AM is also a 1 minute gap.

Make it make sense, that 12 hour AM/PM nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Damn this hits hard.

Sometimes I say "no I dont start watching that movie at 12:00 now" and bam! it's 3 am...

he’s a gem
