I need to read this at a better time but I'm pretty sure ethical guidelines say it's wrong to stop people from playing Witcher 3
Spoiler: there are two exceptions.
How did this get approved by the ethics board? Direct experimentation on unwitting human subjects without their informed consent?!

Those references are amazing lmao
First of all, I love everything about this, including her works cited page where she includes her own paper dated in the future on why her boyfriend is "Proof of Freud's Darker Theories."
Second of all, climate change kind of ruined winter. Where I live, it's too icy to bike and too cold to go camping, but there also isn't consistent enough snow for skiing and snowmen. So winters for me and my partner have turned into hibernation mode with slow-cooked meals and long RPGs.
Was Chad, um, right all along? ๐

Yeah. Found the source. There's a lot of other Onion-esque satire science papers on it. Unfortunately, they also use AI images.

As a compulsive player who recently got caught in the Fallout 76 hamster wheel, I find this too relatable, but also beautiful.
