I think it just implies that since it's out on a platform that pretty much everyone has access to, global productivity will plummet due to everyone playing it and getting addicted

Haha hard to argue that one

They also conveniently forget how recently these jobs were hailed as being essential to the function of society....covid taught us nothing lol

Same here! Infinite universe to explore, I'd find a cool planet to rip around in exocraft, build a nice cliffside base, chill in a space station if things get dangerous, would be a sick time!

Oh god are you sending me down a YouTube rabbit hole?!

In the early days of Halo I was shocked at how fleshed out the universe was. The games seemed to rush through the story without a ton of background and when playing them I always felt like I was missing some key information. I read some of the books and a Halo encyclopedia and it's really easy to get lost in the lore!

The gift that keeps on giving, No Man's Sky. Pretty much just aimlessly wandering around and having a blast!

I only know what this is because of subtronics..."they must have amnesia, they forgot that I'm him"

Young me found that game so confusing! I remember getting stuck in Moria and abandoning it (after also spending ages in the barrow downs)

When I was growing up reading those I was also a big fan of the Artemis Fowl series!

Wooooo may be worth trying out!!

It certainly works better in some games than others! Usually a HUD element would need to be replaced with a different on-screen visual indicator...how well it works can vary a lot between games and genres.
