This really connects well to your last post for me! I actually started playing LSD again a bit yesterday, which you described as a "shuffled world game" and the feeling was so different. I definitely had a sense that every "day" of dreaming was offering me something novel in a way, but it was satisfying to pick up and satisfying to take a break from after a few rounds, as opposed to the very quantified "one more go"-
or "I'm missing out" feeling you get from gacha, roguelikes, or even just the pressure to follow and respond to what the hot game of the moment is. I hate that stressful feeling too, and I also feel super aware of it but also unable to just "turn it off."
