This may be buried in the comments and you will never see it, but thank you very much Gabriele. Your game helped me in a very weird circumstance.
I was afraid of flying, specially on the takeoff and landing (and turbulence as well, ha). So I read somewhere that if I focused on something else, it would help me. So for the past years, I played 2048 during takeoff and landing, and it worked. It helped me to focus on something else, not the airplane, and I started to enjoying more my trips.
Now I don't need to do it anymore, but just for the experience I still do it when I fly. So thank you for helping me with my fear!
- terabytest 2y agoThat’s amazing! Such a cool story. I’m really happy that 2048 was able to help you this way :)
- richardzhang 2y agoAlways amazing to read about surprising positive impacts that a project can make in someone's life like this.

- bschwindHN 2y agoThis is bizarre. I came into this thread to make this exact same comment - I play 2048 religiously during takeoff, turbulence, and sometimes landing. It works really well, though if you were to watch a replay of my game, you could tell when turbulence hits because I start making faster and less logical moves :)
- 101008 2y agoI'm afraid again now...
- morelikeborelax 2y agoVery bizarre, as I also found it helped with this! I was only a First Officer at the time, but even as a Captain today I find playing 2048 during take off and landing really helps.
- dngit 2y agoWait, you're a Captain, and you fear of taking off and landing? I have so many questions :). Also, as someone who is scared of taking off and landing, I'm even more scared now.
