It's essentially like TikTok, but video games, right?
Because TikTok is kind of this mindless thing.
You're just scrolling through mindless things.
And now you're mindlessly watching someone else play a game.
I definitely think there's an aspect of voyeurism, but there's just a dull drone of attention draw.
There's a dullness to it that just sucks you in like slack-jawed.
It is watching nonsense over and over and over again that does just enough to captivate your attention but doesn't excite you, doesn't stimulate you, doesn't necessarily inspire you to do anything.
That is the first fly we've ever had in this room.
Evil people would have killed that fly right away.
But it's just this thing where it doesn't do a lot.
It's not like, you know, like, have you ever done Disney World?
Did you ever do Disney World in Florida where you do that?
The Avatar ride is Flights of Freedom.
Fights of Passage, it's a VR game, a ride rather, and you put on a VR helmet and you get on this like motorcycle looking thing and you're essentially riding a dragon.
It's unbelievably engaging.
