Happy 4/20, gamers! This is the day to lounge around, chill, and zone out to one’s game of choice, whether it be lighting up or simply enjoying good old digital escapism. What better way to celebrate than with a little herb?
An official gaming-related tweet (we won’t name-drop here but you know which one) kept it simple: “Happy 4/20! Kick back, relax, and enjoy š.” No announcements, no revealsājust chill. And that moody green-tinted photo? The kind of visual that just shrieks, “sit down and play something while the world fades away.”
Such a tweet would generally set the town ablaze with replies, but the comments were…well, empty. Crickets. Probably everyone flew off somewhere else to celebrate 4/20, or the algorithm just ghosted this one. Either way, it is indeed comical that a day for sharing a good vibe didn’t produce any likes.
Well, instead of talking about the crickets-these are simply not good enough to talk about-4/20 and gaming go together like butter on jelly. Open-world? The perfect game for getting lost in another reality. Puzzle is suddenly interesting when the player is at half brainpower. Competitive shooters are just begging to be taken less seriously when all you’re doing is laughing at your lousy aiming.
And, of course, we can’t really ignore the classics; those games that practically beg for a little enhancement. Skyrim? You’re already role-playing as a stoned adventurer. Stardew Valley? Farming has never felt so zen. Or let’s say No Man’s Sky, where all you’re doing is floating through space amidst some sweet synthwave in the background.
So, for all of you who view today as a glorious holiday, be it inwardly or outwardly, that may include a little fire. Go ahead, fire up a game fitting for today’s meditative mood. Maybe just stare at the title screen for an hour-that’s also valid.
Either way, happy 4/20, gamers. Stay lifted, stay gaming, and for all things digital, please hydrate.
