Honestly, I’ve been wondering — does spending time in online games or apps that imitate real-life scenarios somehow influence how we think about money, luck, or even success? Or is that overthinking it? I mean, can virtual experiences actually shape real-world behavior without us realizing?

Interesting question! It's true, we invest time in virtual worlds. I've been playing Funny Shooter 2 lately, a silly game, but it makes you think strategically. Does that translate to real-life strategy? Maybe subtly.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. A lot of people treat online games like they mirror real life, when in reality it’s all about understanding the system and keeping a clear head.
That’s a super relevant question, and you’re definitely not overthinking it. Virtual environments, especially those involving elements of chance or rewards, can subtly influence how people view risk and money. But it’s also true that there’s a lot of misinformation floating around about this topic. I came across an interesting article that breaks down many misconceptions people have — you might find it helpful to read here: https://urbanasian.com/lifestyle/2025/02/7-online-gambling-myths-debunked/. It’s a smart look at how myths can distort our understanding of gaming and luck in general.
