Hey! This was a shitload of fun to make :)

I was thinking about how creepy it would be if in the future, people start neglecting their real bodies to exclusively live in downloaded indistinguishably real simulations. There would be all kinds of interesting philosophical debates to have, and loads of conflicting opinions on the technology. It's an idea I might explore more, especially if people dig it.

Hope you like, please let me know what you think! :)

It's a good question you pose. It's great to see an image that has more to it than just eye candy.

Wow, this is impressive! At first I thought maybe the woman he loved had ran off with another man so he was doing drugs to escape the pain but your idea makes much more sense. It's actually pretty amazing how many sci-fis address a similar question and theme like this. It must be a rather large concern for people of what could happen in the future. Of course, humans have found ways to escape from the real world for about as long as humans have existed. We might not have this kind of technology but there's books, theatre, sports,art, religion, music and more recently television and movies, computers, and video games. It's almost like it's a part of human nature to want to escape from the world around us. We don't even need anything else but our minds to escape, all we've got to do is use our imagination to transport to different reality inside our minds, our brains were designed or have evolved to be able to do to this almost as if we need it.
