As a sibling has said, I get the opposite effect! Watching a movie or TV drains me, I feel like I need to highly focus to really take in the story and be present so I don’t have to constantly rewind 20-30 seconds here or there.

I’ve been playing Assassins Creed: Black Flag recently and find it incredibly relaxing, I hardly need to focus, I just cruise around, find anything I fancy from the minimap, battle other ships and explore cool locations.

I’d say the same mostly goes for NMS, but I get more invested in that as upgrades require specific components, which are available on certain planets etc, it takes a little more thought, but there’s no requirement to rush these upgrades, I might need some rare resource, I might jump 30 times exploring different planets as I go because it’s not something I _really_ need to get right now, it will arrive when it arrives and the journey and ‘choose your own pace’ type exploration mean the most to me.
