What is your socially unacceptable guilty indulgence?
Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.
I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

Playing stupid phone games. Really mind-numbing, no talent required games. Currently into "Whiteout Survival". I am over 60 y.o.
It scratches an itch.
They are literally designed to play on your brain chemistry. It is the same biochemical manipulation that TikTok capitalizes on.
Ok that game looks really fun and cozy though. Is it actually? Is it one of those games that demands your money or limits everything with cooldown timers?
You can spend money but I don't. Everything seems to be coming to me pretty quickly F2P. They have a great in game communications system that keeps you from having to use discord to coordinate or socialize. It also has an amazing translation system that allows people from all languages to work together.
It has a LOT to do at first but then just as you get tired it backs WAY off and you have a casual game where you could easily start a second account if you wanted.
Yeah, I recommend this game 😀
Man I feel this. I've been obsessed with Cooking Diary since May of last year.
Just this morning, I popped awake, threw on some YT drama videos for background noise, and just played CD for like an hour and a half before I was like "Time to be productive". Good easy start to a Sunday.
That being said, I saw further down you try not to spend money on the mobile games. I went through a phase in 2019/2020 where I was fucking massively into a Chinese dating Sim game called "Mr Love Queens Choice." I spent $850 over the course of 2 years. It was a great game and I had a ton of fun, but there was a point where I crossed into a bonus tier that you could only get to by spending a certain dollar amount. And then I was like "Oh. Oh no boo boo what is you doin'?!".
Damnit. You know I'm gonna go check out those games now! Lol
