I’m still chasing that high, and I feel caffeine gets in the way of both dreaming and imagining novel worlds, two activities that are a big part of my memories about my teenage years. Easier is to play a videogame, but even though so much is done for me there’s no guarantee I’ll meaningfully advance the story like will happen in a good book. I might still be immersed, though, especially with Minecraft/Minetest, Valheim, Factorio/Mindustry, and others. I am most thankful to myself when I opted to read, though; the benefits last longer and provide more experience to draw from.
