Living in a Video Game World || LPUD

There are some video games whose storylines and worlds are so intriguing, making players envision what it'll feel like to live in such a world, and if I were given the opportunity to choose one video game, I'd love to pick to live in its world. I've got a handful of them, but among all, I'll be going with Grand Theft Auto (GTA), and I'm sure a lot of people might be wondering why I chose it when it's renowned for being a crime, chaotic, and high-speed chase game, but then I've got my reasons, among which are the unmatched freedom, adventure, and endless possibilities.

So if you're wondering why I'm picking Grand Theft Auto, I'll be stating a more detailed reason why below, and there's a possibility;

• Total freedom to do anything: Through the years I've talked about how much I love this game called GTA, and one of the reasons is the ability to do whatever I like. There are no ambiguous rules like we have in the real world, and that goes on to give NPCs/players liberty to explore different possibilities, from owning properties to building an empire, a gang, and driving exotic cars and making money in different ways, and all these come without consequences.

• Life of luxury and wealth: Making money in GTA isn't as stressful as it is in the real world, and if I were to live in that world, I believe it'd be quite easy to amass wealth and make a life for myself, either by running a business, completing missions, and the like, which helps me build my empire and have mansions, yachts, private jets, and many others without me worrying about the need to pay taxes.

• A massive world to explore: I understand that there are many places I can visit in real life, but then there are loads of constraints that prevent that from happening, such as restrictions, bans, and even financial constraints. But with GTA, we've got loads of places to visit, from Los Santos (in GTA V) to Vice City, Liberty City, and many others, which are overall vibrant and full of life and loads of things to delve into that remove chances of boredom.

• Action, adventure, and adrenaline-packed: GTA is packed with loads of thrill and excitement, making it a perfect world to live in to enjoy all of that, with loads of missions like high-speed car chases, heists, danger, and the like. It is just so intriguing that it makes me want to experience some in person, also the ability to control one's destiny: When you look into our real world, even though it's said that you can control your own destiny, we know several factors can change it along the line, but with GTA you can literally shape your destiny. Maybe you want to be a responsible character, a legendary criminal, a CEO, or a Moto GP pro driver, among many other possibilities, making it exciting because it gives you the possibility to achieve your dreams.

I understand GTA has its downsides, but I'm willing to take my chances with it, downsides such as the crime rate, the unending dangers, police constraints, and many others, but then I'll take my chances and bank on my skills, knowledge of the world, and cheat code that can get me away from trouble at the nick of time so I can survive and enjoy the luxurious life GTA has to offer.

Leo Power Up Day

---

Hello everyone, Welcome to the March edition of the Leo Power Up Day. It's interesting to see where we are already in the first quarter of the year, and I'm still actively participating in the Leo Power Up Day, which I've laid down as my goal for the year, as active participation in this would help me attain my goal of having a total of 5000 Leo tokens staked to my Hive account.

Presently I have a total of 3574 Leo tokens staked to my account, and today I have powered up 150 Leo tokens. Adding that to the already existing stake, that would take my total Leo tokens staked to 3724, which further draws me closer to the bigger goal of 5000.
