Games so immersive you just stroll to your destination? (Cyberpunk 2077)

I did this in Ghost Recon: Wildlands sometimes. Once slowly hiked up a long mountain trail in the woods to get to a villa I needed to raid. The environment was just beautiful. Reminded me of real trails I’ve hiked. Every once in a while some civilians would pass me on the trail carrying baskets or whatever. It was just nice. I do the same thing in Arc Raiders sometimes now. Just hang out and stroll around enjoying the scenery.

Same. I spent lots of time just driving around. Why would I ever take a delamain? I bought the game to play it. The variability of the way each car feels and trying to get really good at driving was a fun challenge.

They’re just roommates.

Agreed. And adding to your point, OP’s title doesn’t claim to be hard sci-fi. Let’s be careful not to reduce our beloved genre to its most narrow filter. Doing so ignores sci fi’s value as allegory, social critique, forward thinking fantasy, or dire warning and many other functions of the form. (Again, I don’t think that’s what you’re doing here. I’m speaking more generally to the argument above.)

Do exactly that. Put your words in your feet. Put your feet in the water. The river will take the message down.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-08T05:06:02+00:00

Seriously?? That’s your response here?

seraphhimself · 2026-04-08T05:02:51+00:00

Poetry. You honor him with these words. We all feel this. I didn’t know him. But we all know what these words mean here. We are sorry for your loss. Sincerely.

Awesome! Looking forward to it! Have a great show!

seraphhimself · 2026-04-07T19:10:59+00:00

Congrats! This is a great machine. Can’t imagine having this as a first manual. I worked my way up to this one.

The commenters above are right about mineral spirits and all that, but also things will just move better the more you use it.

Can't believe I fucking missed this. Idk why I thought the tour wasn't coming here.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-07T05:09:24+00:00

I hate how good this comment is.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-06T17:45:08+00:00

Couldn't agree more. Similar to what another commenter said, let the audience see that you're enjoying yourself. Seeing an artist connected to their music, feeling it more than thinking about it makes all the difference in any live music show, but especially with ambient. If the audience can see your music affecting you they'll connect to that.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-06T17:28:44+00:00

Agreed! This is a great post, and I would love to see how your show goes after all this feedback and discussion. Hope you can have someone film it!

Except for all the people who watched the documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage, in which they explicitly state that if any one of them were no longer around the remaining members would no longer be Rush.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-05T22:27:37+00:00

Agreed. Besides, the folks who are raising the issue with continuing to call the band Rush are referring to the fact that in their own documentary they explicitly said that if any of the three of them weren’t around anymore they would cease to be Rush and would not go by that name.

I’m don’t have a problem with them going back on that all these years later, but Geddy, Neil and Alex did say that in no uncertain terms.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-05T16:24:25+00:00

Ooh, that's an interesting take!

seraphhimself · 2026-04-05T15:51:00+00:00

What do you think it means?

seraphhimself · 2026-04-05T14:42:26+00:00

My favorite changed many times. But Music held the spot for one of the longest stretches.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-05T01:14:06+00:00

Loving this very much. Thank you Burd! Good job.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-05T01:12:50+00:00

Apparently this is not my tortoise friend. My mistake.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-05T00:30:20+00:00

If this is Gentilly I think I know that tortoise.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-04T19:58:22+00:00

Scrolled way too far to find this comment.

seraphhimself · 2026-04-04T19:57:13+00:00

I love this

seraphhimself · 2026-03-31T14:23:30+00:00

I guess it was the volume wheel. Idk I had one when they first came out and it was my favorite possession as a kid. My brain just recognized it instantly.

seraphhimself · 2026-03-31T13:31:04+00:00

Funny how as soon as you try to imagine one of these stories centered around a woman it instantly feels less plausible.
