You can make just about anything happen in meatspace if you're willing to piss away thirty grand in 6 months. That a purely entertainment budget of over $1,000 a week. You could fly to anywhere in the world for the weekend. You could do an irresponsible amount of cocaine. Throw lavish parties. Fund a pretty respectable gambling habit (it's like microtransactions, but they sometimes give you your money back!). Buy yourself a gun collection. Alternate between all of the above!

Go play Rust with a group of people, wage war against another group. It's extremely fun when everyone involved is really passionate and invested. You can't get that feeling out of any deadly sin.
Maybe I'm a lover not a fighter, but I can think of several activities to do with "passionate and involved" people that are dramatically more fun than swinging virtual rocks at virtual walls.

Don't get me wrong: I do not have a 60k a year entertainment budget. I get plenty of kicks out of my well-coordinated Squad gameplay with my friends. But thinking it's how I'd best be spending $1000 a week for maximum enjoyment? Absolutely not.
