I think I'm addicted to it actually, and I feel guilty for wasting my time playing a game. I have never spent any money playing it, but do spend too much time on it.

AIBU for playing it, or feeling guilty for playing it?

@PeachyKeane @screamingsiblings

Check out the Mistplay app (will be in app stores).
It is not the fastest way to earn money, but if you are the sort of person to play games when the TV is on, or on the bus etc, then may as well get something for it.
I get about £10 every 2 to 3 weeks (I get it in Amazon gift cards).

My addiction is Township and I'm a bit embarrassed about it. But it's so addictive. I used to play Toon Blast but spent too much money on it so eventually deleted it.

I play CC Soda, but via Mistplay, so I get paid to play it.

Tell me more, I'm addicted to the damn game.

Yes I got really addicted to it at one point but now the background music reminds me of when I had morning sickness - that was ten years' ago! I do still play it occasionally until I run out of lives and then I lose interest.

My addiction is monopoly go 🙈
I now have 4 accounts on it so I can trade stickers with myself and partner with myself on events 😂

But I do live more or less alone (adult DS here but he's not around much). And I have a fair bit of free time. So not really affecting anything.

It depends if there are other things you should be doing. If not then crack on!

Yeah me. On level 3 billion I think. Play In the evening when there is a boring programme on TV.

BigDahliaFan · 15/08/2024 13:30

Yes, I had to delete it as I was absolutely addicted. I replaced it with a Japanese Kanji learning app so at least I was learning something. I also made it a point of honour never to pay for Candy Crush....

Last time I played it still allowed you to use the trick of forwarding your calender to get more lives instantly ... Just a thought haha.

I got addicted to it so deleted the app.

I am now on my phone just as much, but doom scrolling instead.

Crush away!

Franklet · 15/08/2024 13:09

I deleted it from my phone because it was such a time suck. I have it on a tablet that is mostly used by dd2 and will occasionally play a few levels before she demands it back. It is designed to be addictive!

StepCombatAttack · 15/08/2024 13:08

I do, most days, but I play Candy Crush Soda. Usually while tv is on something banal. I don’t spend any money on it so can stay on harder levels for days.
Currently on level 4000 and something.
I find it relaxing and haven’t found any games I prefer.

RausageSoul · 15/08/2024 13:02

I go through phases of playing it a LOT. Then forgetting for months, and when I go back it throws all sorts of free lives and boosters and I'm hooked again for a few days. Once they run out I forget it again!
