Living in a different dimension_


Wouldn’t it be nice if we could choose to live in a different reality where life was just peachy to us, where studying for exams was actually fun, and eating chocolate wouldn’t make us fat?

That is what Virtual Reality (VR) could give us: a different life in a different place!

What’s the drawback? Well, first and foremost, real life sucks, I’d give anything to live in that place where eating sweets wouldn’t have any negative consequences, but that would mean I’d prefer to live in a reality that isn’t my own; second, how could you guarantee that when you got bored of this new reality and wanted to return to your real life, you’d return to your reality and not another reality that looked just like your reality?

Confusing, right?

Really unrealistic_


Digital games range from nonsensical premises to lifelike simulations, much to the entertainment of everyone, and although the people who play them know they’re not real, not really, there is something that is able to hook gamers.

So what is it? A reality check.
