Immersion is a state of deep focus and concentration on a single task, where the outside world fades away. This state of being, achieved through learning and training, is not a product but a skill that can be applied to various tasks, providing a sense of fulfillment and reward. It's both effortless and productive.
Immersion in a hot toxic soup
From humans, wildlife and invertebrates: Simultaneous exposure of toxins and climate harms likely to cause reduced fertility
An " ‘alarming’ effect on fertility across global species from simultaneous exposures."
"The chemicals are ubiquitous in consumer goods, so humans are often regularly exposed."
“There is enough evidence in both areas to act to reduce our impact on the planet...The solution to the systemic problems would involve reining in climate change and reducing the use of toxic chemicals." >>

One of my biggest #gaming pet peeves in #RPGs: #helmets, #hats, #caps and #capes.
Don't get me wrong, if the #stats are good, I'll equip them. But 99.9% of the time I will immediately hide them visually if the #game allows it.
A rogue's worn leather cap, a #thief's hood, a #warrior's iron bucket on their head... all hidden. The only exception? If an #armor piece genuinely looks stunning, we're talking a truly unique, well-designed #outfit that actually fits the #character.
A carefully designed #character face buried under generic headgear? Not on my watch. A #cape flapping around like they're auditioning for a #fantasy theatre production? Also hidden.
#Immersion is visual too.
