Even for the wisest of us, life is notoriously difficult to figure out, let alone to ace—to make it easier and more likely for us to go through life more or less smoothly, writer Oliver Emberton has published a clever and sensible strategy guide that imagines life as a vide game.
Aiming to help people win “the game that literally everyone is playing”, Emberton brings us through the various stages of life, handing out useful tips with video game-inspired analogies.
For instance, the beginning of life can be seen as “being assigned a random character and circumstances”, while the first 15 years of life is simply a series of “tutorial missions”.
We also enjoy the sweet 8-bit illustrations that accompanied the article.
This unconventional guide to life is well-worthy reading if you are looking for some fun life-hacker advice—find the original article here.
