Yeah, I draw a line when it comes to things like Candy Crush. When I say about doing something rather than nothing that something is either educating yourself on some kind of topic, or just doing something satisfying – not sitting there on an app or playing flash games and then walking away with nothing to show for it.

On here I am satisfying myself (and hopefully others) by making contributions to this Wiki, and learning on the way; that thing you said about Assassin’s Creed has opened me up to look at things further, and not just to be satisfied with a superficial explanation that is only part of the story. Frozen also helps me do that. Because I like it, and because that may surprise some people, it makes me not so quick to judge others on their beliefs and interests. I like to think I do this anyway but this kind of thinking allows me to develop further on these ideas. This satisfaction helps me both in a productive sense, and helps me emotionally in some way – say blasting Let It Go down my ears, which lifts my spirits and is sometimes just what I need to get on with something. Sure, there’s no paid jobs going to analyse Frozen or anything of the sort, but at least subconsciously your mind opens up to different perspectives and ways of thinking, plus it’s really enjoyable. Not just to immerse yourself in a good piece of work, but to also be part of a community where you can help each other out in all kinds of ways relating to the topics that are discussed.
