Really good video games are like a double-edged sword.

The more fun they are to play, the more quickly your entire life can get consumed by them.

Just ask Chrissy Teigen.

Earlier this week the model made an open call for new 2D Nintendo Switch game ideas that wouldn't stress her out in the way Sonic does.

Soon, a winning recommendation came back: Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley sounds innocent enough. It's basically an RPG where you build up a farm you inherited.

Soon, though, people were sending Teigen warnings.

Despite the cautions, though, her mind was made up.

After awhile the advice started rolling in.

One day in, though, and Teigen decided to back swiftly away from the situation.

Who knew 2D farming could be so damn intense?
