I'm addicted to this game

I'm addicted to this game. It's ruining my life. I resolved not to let myself finish any more puzzles until I optimized all the early puzzles in the V1 folder. I find myself working on this game in notebooks at work. Luckily it looks like I'm just working on something odd possibly related to work, and no one notices. I have the "ideas for tis-100" notebook open on my desk, next to paperwork while doing spreadsheets. I should be fired. If they fire me, I'll be able to play this game all the time. This is a cry for help.

The only game I can play when I'm not at my PC, with a pen and paper

The only game I can play when I'm not at my PC, with a pen and paper. I've spent hours thinking around solutions and scrawling code. If anyone finds my stack of notes they'll think I've gone mental.
