Still in the middle of it: Dragon's been kinder but I'm chasing the wrong thing now

So that 80x on DragonSlots from last week? Proper screenshot moment, Cal even saw it when he was on shift at LuckyVibe and said "there she is" like I was someone. But I've given half back now, chasing that same buzz, and the new girl on chat just copy-pastes "best of luck" like I'm any random punter.

Here's my actual question though — sister's birthday Tuesday and I still haven't bought anything, but I had this thought sitting there at 1am with a 40x that barely covered my stake: do any of you actually *stop* when you hit the weekly target? Or is the target just a story we tell ourselves?

Because I keep thinking "this covers the week" and then I'm still there at 3am for a 25x that doesn't even register. And I know I'm not alone in this but I need to hear it from someone who's not a chat bot programmed to say "responsible gambling tools are available"

My week's technically covered. Rent's still owed, birthday's still coming, but the slots are paid for. So why does that feel like failure instead of win?

What actually makes you close the tab? Not the "should" — the actual moment you know you're done
