> its much easier to snap out of that for some reason probably the main reason is the "continuation cost" or something (idk if there is a term for that lol) i can safely close tiktok/twitter at any time, and the app opens in 2-3 seconds at most. while games can easily take up to a minute to boot up, and the periods when you can "safely close" them are very sparse and short. and that combined probably tricks my brain into just continuing right now bc a) holy shit im mid-quest what if my progress wont save, b) i don't want to wait for another minute if i close the game now to do X, so i just wont (esp relevant on mobile, where ios may unload the game even if you just spend too much time in fucking control center, thank you very much) games are such a scam lol
