I want a mini game as I chop cucumbers. And a wall of my achievements that’s shared with anyone in proximity.

Distracting people with mini games while they're holding a knife sounds like a bad idea.

  EU is coming up with a consent popup to fix this situation. It will flash a hazard warning and will turn on haptic feedback till you drop the knife.

    Nitpick: The EU didn't mandate intrusive consent popups. That was malicious compliance and/or laziness by advertisers, GDPR "tool" developers, and website owners. Website developers could've put an "opt in to tracking" option in a separate settings page that users would click on a gear icon in the top right corner to access.

  Why does it have to be a "distracting" experience? What if the game was showing you where to cut to get uniform slices and grading the uniformity of your cuts? Then you'd be focused on the activitiy at hand while still enjoying that sweet sweet gamified dopamine hit.

    I prefer the count-the-rice-grains-in-a-sushi-roll genre instead.

      I can't wait for the day games like "PowerWash Simulator" or "Supermarket Simulator" come to VR. Imagine, you could wash stuff or work at a supermarket, while also exercising your body! (/s, but I'm sure it will happen at some point.)

  People should really use a mandoline rather than a knife while playing mini games. You'll slice both your cukes and fingers much more evenly.

If I were within your proximity, I can assure you I have no interest in your minigame progress while you chopped cucumbers. I would however hope that you had avoided physical injury.

  I think it was juicy sarcasm. I laughed!

  Apologies for explaining the joke, but pretty sure the cucumber chopping and wall of achievements is a reference to https://vimeo.com/46304267 https://vimeo.com/46304267

    Oh wow, it's been a while since I've seen a vimeo link. Can't believe it's still a thing

This sounds like a great way to chop off fingertips. Take it from someone who has done "just the tip" once, a sharp knife will do it with almost no effort, just like slicing through a tomato
