‘Black Mirror’ Creator Charlie Brooker is addicted to playing 'Balatro' video game, uses it to reward himself for writing (deadline.com)

BROOKER: This is going to sound so tragic, but right now there’s a game called Balatro. It’s like poker, and it’s possibly the most addictive thing ever created. It’s currently on Nintendo Switch and Steam deck, but it’s going to be released on phones, and at that point I think humankind’s activity is going to drop about 25%. I play that in short bursts when I’m writing to reward myself. I do like Ghost of Tsushima and Dave the Diver too, but there’s loads more.

One of us.

I was thinking about this episode a lot when I discovered Shapez and wouldn't fucking shut up about it for a week

it's so fucking fun omg, the last level I played had me delivering little watermelon slices to the hub 🤩

(there's a browser and mobile version too, but the controls aren't as intuitive, which makes it less enjoyable)
