The Art of Doing Nothing Why side quests and silly distractions in ‘Yakuza’ aren’t a waste of time

The main story can wait.
Here’s why doing nothing in games might be the best part.

I regret selling mine many years ago, but I may have to pick up that Virtual Boy for Nintendo Switch accessory.

Oh wow, this just stole the show for me from today's Nintendo Direct. I loved the Virtual Boy.

For the next inevitable Mario game, or the next movie?

Nintendo Direct at 2pm (UK) today. I’m bracing myself for equal parts excitement and heartbreak. What’s on your wishlist this time?

Can we finally get a Metroid Prime 4 release date please?

We hope you enjoy our latest project. 🙏

I love how some of the most memorable moments in games aren’t the main objectives. Like spending hours fishing in Ocarina of Time or tinkering with side quests in Yakuza.
It makes me think: what game moments, big or small, have stuck with you for reasons beyond the story?
