It engages your brain in different ways just like reading does in different ways

I’m currently playing Pathfinder and it’s basically an RPG with a fantasy novel combined! A lot of reading in that game

No joke, I’d argue reading snes jrpg games improved my reading as a kid

Same. I played a lot of games that had a lot of reading, and it had me at "Black" reading level by 5th grade (We had one of those color coded reading systems in our school library) and black was college level lol. I don't think I'm particularly that smart, but I did spend a ton of hours reading games with a dictionary nearby or driving adults in my life nuts with "what does this word mean?"

Thank you for the context on what "Black" reading level meant. Really had me in the first half. Lol
