I just started playing WoW classic. People always ask me how I like it, seeing as I never played WoW before. I would describe it as not very fun, but incredibly addicting. I'd continue to elaborate but I have to go do some leatherworking...

Oh god I fell into the trap as well. I hardly played games in the past few years and strictly single player ones which aren't infinite time sinks. Then WoW classic came and I just wanted to chill out a bit and experience some nostalgia. Now I'm hooked again, doing about 3 hours a day while also juggling work, family life etc.

BTW, the fun starts when they introduce PvP honor and battlegrounds. Other than that it's a true grindfest.

As for the OP topic, shrooms are great, got me out of depression during my late teens. No preparation or anything, just took some with friends and embraced it with positive curiousity.

Heh, my experience was the opposite. I played it for a bit (having played WoW during burning crusade through cataclysm) and had a lot of fun, but I stopped because it didn't hook me enough into playing long sessions or logging in every day.

If there's one game that does "not very fun (occasionally) but incredibly addicting" for me it's Old School Runescape. I started playing Runescape in 2006 and I still play in 2019 (with some breaks in between). I'm 21. That's most of my life.
