Apparently video games can affect your mind to some degree. At least mine. I went through Days Gone  during most of November and not long after that I played through The Last of Us 2. And for good matter, I followed that up with binge watching Sweet Home (kick ass Walking Dead kind of show that takes place in a Korean apartment building but instead of the infected being zombies they're a variety of monsters.

Anyway all of this has put my head in survival mode. Whenever I drive though town I judge buildings and homes on how easy they'd be to defend, and I now make note of where all the fruit trees are growing wild or in people's yards.

I'm pretty certain that come the infection I'll be making my way to a community college a few blocks from here. It's fairly well hidden and the second floor could be easily fortified. And as a bonus, within a mile are lime, papaya, orange and banana trees. Barring an unusually cold winter I should be able to hold up for a while.

I think that certain personality types are more susceptible to being influenced by video games and other forms of media. It's probably more pronounced in video games though due to the pseudo-immersion involved.

You've revealed yourself to be a creative person, which would also make you more prone to suggestion.

"Power fantasies" are bad survival advice. Focus on bonding with your neighbours. Volunteer in your community. Network! Network! Network!
