some of you might be wondering why I continue to play The Outer Worlds despite its painful 'centrist' take on corporate hell future and the honest answer is that there's a certain kind of relaxation I can only get from playing a game I'm at least partially apathetic to. It gives me permission to not care about the details (speccing my character correctly, not missing sidequests, etc) in ways that are way harder with games I'm significantly invested in. Less mental overhead = easier zonk. Counterintuitive as it may seem to relax with a game that you don't like very much. lol
