i was up until like 10 am bc of that fucking game

It's an evil game like that

honest to god tho if i didn't have to go to sleep in-game in order to save it i wouldn't get stuck playing it like that

i've always hated that save mechanic

It puts you into that "just one more day" cycle

exactly! or i'll be like "well i have to do x before i quit or i'll forget" and then "it's only 11am, i can't waste a whole day by going to sleep now"

so you finish the day but then you have something new to do when you wake up or you'll forget!!
