Gaming is rarely associated with positivity. It will ruin your eyes, your social life, etc. That’s often what people hear from mainstream media regarding gaming, no matter how popular the hobby becomes. And yet every now and then we hear a story where gaming saved someone’s life.
In case of Reddit user tidyckilla they managed to save themselves and their family from a fire that started at 2:26 a.m. in their apartment complex.
“On the night of August 31, I decided to stay up and play as long as possible to experience this new universe. At 2:26 a.m., while playing the game, I heard an explosion from my downstairs neighbor’s apartment. “I paused my game to see what was happening. When I opened the door, I saw flames rising up our stairwell to our apartment,” the message reads. “I immediately grabbed my wife and cat and got us to safety with only minor burns. If I hadn’t been drinking Starfield I would have been asleep and we would all have died of smoke inhalation. I want to thank this game for saving my family and me of a terrible fate.”
Well, there you go, Mom, staying up late gaming has its perks. On a more serious note, however, it is fortunate that the Reddit user was able to recognize the explosion and act so quickly. Hopefully their Starfield save is in the cloud so they haven’t lost all those hours of progress either.
