I'll guess you don't live in a bedsit, and that you didn't lose your job when lockdown started, that you have game systems, and plenty of space and entertainmen

  How does VR help you if you lost your job? As to the rest, yes, I suppose the lock down is easier for some than others, but I would suggest that for most its pretty fucking easy, and the amount of whining being done about it is a disgrace. People that lived through Syria's bombing or the Blitz would have a hard time comprehending what is it exactly that is so though about these few months.

    I'm not in a bad situation but playing openworld games (non-VR) has, I think, helped my mental health. I normally walk 4 miles a day to work, now I work and sleep in the same room; I feel some days like I'm in prison except without the social spaces and exercise time.

      If you do not mind me asking, where do you live that you cannot step outside yet?

        I can now go out, and there's been some relaxation of lockdown (UK). I was referring to "over the last few weeks". It's not always been easy for me to get out during the day because of time conflicts (schooling, vs WFH; as nights are getting lighter this is getting easier). Primarily it was when we were in one exercise period per day (≤1hr), as I have a younger child it would normally not be enough exercise for me. The sense of moving around landscape helped me to relax and forget I was confined.
