Tired All The Time
Bandai Namco
Waking up exhausted, already fantasizing about the day being done and getting back into the sweet embrace of your bed isn’t something video game characters deal with. They pay an Innkeep five gold, lay down on a wooden, twin bed stuffed with straw, and instantly fall asleep. There’s no tossing and turning, no waking up in a cold sweat at three am worrying about how you’re going to pay your health insurance this month. Just brief blackness and then you’re up, fully clothed and standing. Ok, sometimes there’s a demon or whatever that visits you during the night. Or an assassin that slips into your room and mercs you. But still, beats having to brush your boring teeth and wash your boring face and look at your ever drooping visage each night and still waking up feeling just as tired as you did eight hours ago.

It’s a hellscape. People ghost you, it takes a ton of time and money, and there’s rampant STI’s and bad actors all around. Plus you can’t ever really be sure that someone actually loves you. I know too many people who’ve been dumped right before their wedding day to ever truly trust another human being. But in the sweet embrace of gaming, there are numerical meters that gauge attraction. Dating is much simpler when you can just click the dialogue line with the heart next to it. You don’t have to have vague arguments about dishes masking deeper insecurities when you can just bring someone a pineapple or a bunch of flowers five different times and then propose to them.
