Imagine living in a country that is actively in war, and your government asks you to "live normaly" when there is no attack ongoing and you are sent to shelter. That is apparently the situation. And when a "calm time" comes, people play games to keep themselves somewhat... happy, i guess. This brutal realization struck me out of nowhere.

I have nothing but fond memories of Genshin with my friends - but for these players over there, it is their escape.

It took me quite a moment to process that...
