Me too, and yet I feel immense satisfaction from building out terraform deployments. I think that might be part of it -- a TF deployment is actually doing something so the payoff feels huge. Making a counter go up in a video game just doesn't compare...

Interestingly enough I did sink a ton of hours into Rimworld, though, which has some factory like parts but more of a human simulation element to it.

Haha. Once a year I fire up Rimworld and sink half a year into it. The human part is probably what does it for me, too.
