ADHD memes

I don't have trouble with mmo's usually. But just last year i realised that i don't know how to play these city building games.
When i was 12 or so my mom bought me anno 1600 or what it was called. It was like meh, i was hoping for quake. I played that game for almost 3 days straight. I absolutely loved it and kept playing.
Last year i asked my friend if he wanted to play the new anno with me. Never played coop, sounds fun. After 2 hours i realised for the first time that usually i just start over at this point. My cities are never sustainable and i just play until it all ges to shit, and starting over is easier than fixing your shit city.
But with him now, i just had to keep going. It was a huge mess.
