How is this different from just.. a habit? I know I've said "hey google, lights" to turn on the sun a couple times. It worked but it took like 10 hours darnit

I was perfectly willing to believe a fraction of a percent of people could get their world properly mixed up, but once i got half way down and they were talking about memory and emotions in games like it was some mind blowing thing i stopped taking this seriously. I'm certain they've deliberately worded everything to be as spooky as possible to boomers.

I love when I move my head to see around a corner in videogames, like "wtf did I just do"
