    Or you could check out the non-vibe coded Airplane Mode from 2020:

      That&#x27;s... why?

      I can understand slow games like EuroTruck or Farming Sim. But what&#x27;s the point of this?

        Every once in a while I would put Flight Simulator 2020 on my desktop and work on my laptop. I found that watching the digital world pass by while working put me in a slightly different headspace. Not sure it increased productivity but working while sitting in an actual plane does provide me a bit of focus.

        Train ride videos on YouTube scratch some of the same itch.
