Slither

What happened to my good habits and best intentions for the next year? What happened to my reading habit, writing, developing intellectually?

Slither happened.

God, this game is addictive and it sucks up all your free time if you lack the discipline to put the phone down and do something useful.

It's a bit of a mysterious game to me, but it shines in simplicity. Choose a nickname, a color and off you go; go collect some colorful orbs. No sounds, no chat, even no login, there's only a disk-shaped world with hundreds of other snakes to compete with. I think the design and gameplay is brilliant.

But all this is at the cost of writing on this blog, my own journal, reading a good book to gather new ideas. On the other hand, it doesn't hurt to relax your brain every now and then. It feels like taking a cigarette: a bad habit but this one sucks up your time instead of your health.
