Playstation taking away physical game copies is like if authors only provided e-versions of their book.
Half the fun of a physical copy is having it on the shelf.
MrBeast reveals his mom secretly hid $10,000 for him because she was terrified he’d go broke
“my parents were over leveraged in 2008 and they lost everything and literally had to file for bankruptcy”
“She took $10,000 and hid it in my name in a bank account I didn’t know about as like a rainy day fund so my son’s never actually homeless”
“I eventually found out about it and I was like oh that’s perfect I can spend a little more on this next video and I’ve never seen her cry more than that”
“she’s just like you can’t take this I need this money so I can sleep at night and know you’re good”
“My brain didn’t register any of that cause I’m just like what do you mean money means to make videos and I’m like why would we save money we can make better videos and I eventually convinced her to give me the money so I can go put it into videos”

@Jd_gladd96@FictionalIan I play tedium games like Valheim or World of a Warcraft where I’m kind of building or farming. It’s routine where I don’t have to think almost at all, so fantasy books fit into that super well.
@Jd_gladd96@FictionalIan Just speaking personally, most of my reading is audiobooks now. I'll turn on a good book during a commute, while running errands, or even when playing a video game.
@FictionalIan Page count. It’s more concrete and visual in my brain to see pages done rather than words written.
When I think of word count, I always think “What would that be in pages” anyway, so it’s one less mental step.
