I was in school so when that was put on hold I essentially played video games like it was a job. I remember vividly playing Grand Theft Auto IV in one sitting for the Liberty City Minute achievement and I’m pretty sure I played through Master Chief Collection.
Do you look back on any aspects of it nostalgically?
I miss having a socially acceptable excuse to hang out at home and not have to spend all my spare time out & about.
I miss having a full workday where I could complete all my actual work in an hour and spend the remaining seven hours playing video games while being available through Teams & email should something arise.
I miss being able to wake up at 755, chug a diet dr pepper, and still get to work on time.
I miss being able to spend the workday in flipflops and boxers, and only putting on a shirt if I had a video call.
I don’t miss all the death & misery & related bullshit, but those are the things that I do miss.
