dandys world ruined my life

ive been on winter break since like december 15th and i had ONE productive week of working on my shiz & then BAM! my friend chud told me to play a roblox game with them...& i did....now im addicted to it. ive been a "gamer" my whole life but the last few years ive been scared to try new things because if i like it my dopamine-deprived ass becomes hyperfixated on it and suddenly three weeks have gone by doing NOTHING BUT DANDYS WORLD. bruh

i remember back in high school (no clue what year) when the pandemic first started (i was online school so it didnt affect me but still) someone bought me stardew valley and i almost failed that semester of classes because i was so addicted to playing it for two months straight. like its pure evil. since then its been a handful of other games but at least i dont think it was as damaging to my career as stardew was.

that being said dandys world is doing me REAL CLOSE because i have an outstanding project to finish up by the end of january (BUT REALLY BEFORE JAN 13th because thats when CLASSES START IN THE SPRING!!!!) but i cant stop playing dandys world. ive also been writing a catgirl webseries with my friends and i completely threw in the towel re: working on it because im so addicted to dandys world (but the catgirl thing is worth a blog post of its own).

dandys world isnt really that innovative of a game i guess especially when half my friends play IDV/DBD but the fact that its an easy coop game and the art is cute and shit....bruh its so hard to get off the game. this week has been better (because one of my friends got banned from playing for a week for some reason) but still im getting on to play with ppl at least once a day for like 1+ hours every time. that is down from 6+ hours a day. fuck my neko life.

i dont even consider the 5 hour reduction in daily gameplay to be that good because instead of PLAYING dandys world now im DRAWING FANART. albeit its not like "good" or anything (see: serious) but i spent the whole afternoon yesterday and the day before that redrawing dandys world characters over my OC giggles (long story). im too lazy to embed all of it on here but im totes gonna upload it to my twitter when im finished and already posted a doodle page i made..

yeah its like really stupid but its funny and someone i know asked to use the colored version of shrimpo as a pfp...cool sauce...i wont stop til all of them get drawn like this...

oh wait you can actually see the colored versions on my toyhouse if you care

thats regrettably all thats been happening in my life. next week i may or may not go back to work (i had the winter off but they said maybe jan 6th theyd put me back on) and next week im praying i will lock the fuck in and do project work for school. this is my last semester at my current college but im only gonna graduate with a fucking associates degree what am i doing with myself.. (taking electives i dont need)

i hope im not the only one whose life was ruined by dandys world because that will make me feel less stupid
