I got stuck in front of my computer screen playing the same game over and over, not really wanting to but it was a great way of putting the rest of the world on hold.

I think the game on the screen is mesmerizing. I become hyperfocused and the rest of the world melts away temporarily. It is not pleasant but it makes all the other unpleasantness go away.
