Like most people, I've come to terms with the fact that my life will never be grand or adventurous. My job is boring and my lifestyle is simple. To be perfectly honest, I sorta like it that way. I'm not one to go base jumping or sailing or whatever it is fun people do.
As a proud representative of common folk, media and entertainment have always driven me to feeling a sense of life larger than my own. Whether that be through movies, music, books, or video games. I cherish it.
While movies and music are things which most people are accustomed to enjoying, both books and videos games are more niche, and both surely have the capabilities of captivating the imagination in a sense which movies and music can not.
So many people just zone out watching Netflix or Hulu when they could be exploring the old west in Red Dead Redemption 2, experiencing what it's really like to be a Jedi in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, or living out their medieval Slavic fantasies in Witcher 3.
Exploring these environments, interacting with those who populate them, and fighting baddies of all sorts along the way, has brought me hours of joy between these three games alone.
On top of that there's the NHL franchise, Tekken, Monster Hunter, Forza, Lumines, etc. All sorts of games for one to enjoy and just have all different types of experiences first hand. There's something for everyone!
Meanwhile some people just sit there and watch TV instead, or do like crossword puzzles or something. Maybe zone out on Instagram - I don't know.
Mostly boomers, and a lot of women, I've met who have no idea just what gaming has become in recent years. In a sense, I genuinely pity them. They have no idea.
