If only the skills you develop while gaming translated more directly to real life. Sure, gaming can improve your decision-making, response time, and ability to think ahead, but what if we could jump to great heights, flawlessly operate a crossbow, and cast magical healing spells? That would really make all that time spent gaming worth it.

Then that begs the question if you could choose one game to translate into real life, which one would it be? If you chose Mario Bros, you'd be able to jump and fight, but your girlfriend would constantly be under attack. And you'd have to be a plumber. If you chose GTA, you'd be in danger pretty much all the time, but you'd get the thrill of a high-speed car chase. If you chose Among Us, well, you could never trust anyone. So maybe it's for the best that we just get to visit those worlds and not have to live in them. And in this world, we have gaming memes.
