My partner used to be a teacher. There was a period of like a year when she would get home from work looking insanely stressed. Then she'd boot up Stardew Valley on her laptop from the couch and I could see her mood change immediately. She'd play for hours too.
At one point it was like Stardew Valley was her real life while the actual outside world was some horrible nightmare she had to wake up from.
