EN: to be addicted; to be engrossed
This is what happens when you "just try" something and end up selling your kidney for it. It's the "one more episode" on Netflix at 3 AM, the "last game lang" that turns into an all-nighter, or falling into a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories on YouTube. Basically, you've been consumed. You're in too deep.
