I play Switch games while on my treadmill. The split controller works perfectly for that and makes it easy to forget I'm walking.
I initially assumed "cozy" meant it would be a casual phone game which obviously would suck. But it's a Steam and console game, so I'm excited!
If I so much as see a daily reward or a separate currency or an in game store, it gets uninstalled. Those things are guarantees that it sucks.
Everything in this thread so far is normal stuff I could have guessed. Guns, metric, tipping, etc. Most of it has large groups of people in the country that agree, or at least know.
What are some non-obvious things? Culture shock isn't about major political issues. It's about universal things that turn out to not be universal.
For example, US people have a strong culture of how standing in line works. It's basically a moral sin to butt in line unless you have someone holding your place. This is universal in the country. My understanding is that other countries differ. Is that true?
Playing Switch games while walking on a treadmill. I always found exercise boring before, but the split controller of the Switch makes it easy to play while walking.
I have found I don't even notice I'm walking and look forward to it since I'm actually looking forward to gaming.
Dark Souls while walking is the best. I've walked about 140 miles in the last month.
Only thing I care about is that they keep the split controller design. It's the only controller I can easily use while walking on a treadmill. Holding a controller with two hands while walking is awkward. The split controller allows me to swing my arms normally.
