    First of all, I love everything about this, including Mambo No. 5.

    Second of all, climate change kind of ruined winter. Where I live, it’s too icy to bike and too cold to go camping, but there also isn’t consistent enough snow for skiing and snowmen. So winters for me and my partner have turned into hibernation mode with slow-cooked meals and long RPGs.

    So, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Chad is right. 😅

      Yeah. Found the source. There’s a lot of other Onion-esque satire science papers on it. Unfortunately, they also use AI images.

    I need to read this at a better time but I’m pretty sure ethical guidelines say it’s wrong to stop people from playing Witcher 3

      Spoiler: there are two exceptions.

    How did this get approved by the ethics board? Direct experimentation on unwitting human subjects without their express consent?!

    I am so glad they supplied references.

    As a compulsive player who recently got caught in the Fallout 76 hamster wheel, I find this too relatable, but also beautiful.

    Easy. Just introduce them to a better game.

      I’m sure it’s a great game with a catching story but my fucking god does everything else feel so janky that I just can’t get into it.

        The story is fantastic. Its the moment to moment action that becomes tedious after the first hour, and the story requires at least 80 hours of that shit.
