Have a friend who is very introverted. He’d rather talk to people online than people in person 99% of the time.
For myself, the only time I’m playing games other than with a social group online (some now live literally on the other side of the world) are when I’m in pain and can’t sleep or I’m too stressed. It’s not a great thing, but I could be sitting in a chair reading or something – it’d be the same.
At least I recognize that that’s not a good place to be.
That game particularly requires some small degree of attention and there is a small bit of satisfaction any time you clear a level without really needing high levels of function. It was the only game on my flip phone (doesn’t work as well on a smart phone). It was almost the same as closing my eyes and meditating for a short period.

I feel like this is an almost perfect time… for the Surprise Arrow to make a return. He’s even made enough enemies who /could/ bring Ninjas in to make it realistic.

Don’t let the existential dread set in:
lol I’m not gonna click on that link but I know what should be behind it an that was my first thought after seeing the 3rd panel
That was a pretty funny comic.
that sweet, sweet dopamine
Third panel is basically the Prof. Farnsworth “I made myself sad” meme
The dread lurks…
Ethan’s resolve is being tested…. COURAGEOUS !
He’s right, video games can make everything seem better for hours at a time.
I appreciate you included ‘seem’.
Time to look for a date app too
Pfft, lots of dating sims out there and practically for every possible kink, too!
RE: The last panel
AMEN
Is it possible for a life be empty enough to qualify for a respawn?
Perhaps if he tries to do a marathon and has waaaaayyyy too many energy drinks
… reality is sometimes more complicated than fiction…
Midlife crisis in 3, 2, 1 ….
Maybe he’ll take another go at dating?
Sometimes you have to Tetris the shapes and sizes around a bit, to ensure every gap is filled.
As a Tetris addict, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
