Yep, I get the control bit, which is why I love my smartwatch - best feature on it is the remote:)) Plus I prefer local storage for all things music, so I just let Poweramp do its thing shuffling my personal library.
As far as gaming goes, it’s always been one of my biggest pleasures in life, alongside music, movies and books. I’m a sucker for stories, and the more involved they are, the better. My brain relaxes when I flood it with information it enjoys, I always feel refreshed after a New Vegas session for instance.
Computers have been a major stress during work hours, though, yes. I don’t want to see a spreadsheet, or a command prompt (unless it’s necessary to get me playing), or anything of the sort, ever again.
And books are worth it. I get your point about eyes staring at a flat surface, but I honestly found some books more immersive than a lot of the games I’ve played so far! Brilliant for disconnecting from reality for a while, read the first three volumes of Foundation in 48 hours, didn’t even realise a day had passed.
