Health bar
No shit whats your health currently?
Mine is like 60/100 or so
It would be pretty much full at all times in the first world, but would gradually get shorter. And then when it’s someone really old every damn thing would like halve their health.
It would make life easier for medical people, though.
Fast travel (assuming nobody beat me to it)
You still have to travel to the location to unlock it. That would actually make me want to travel more.
No damage on friendly fire
Recover from any injury by eating whole cheese wheels
Omg yes
Being able to choose between single player, coop, and multiplayer.
Turn based combat
Inventory packs that seem bigger on the inside.
Like seriously, how does Red from Pokémon carry a whole dang bike in his backpack? Imagine trying to smuggle that across toll booths.
Canonically they use pokeballs, that’s why you find dropped items inside of them.
I’d settle for inventory sorting
Hey just a tip to make it a bit less of a hassle for you: you can smuggle things around toll booths, it’s easier.
But what if they catch you?
A challenge most people fail in video games for unfair reasons will generally be considered a badly designed element of that game by fans and critics.
Meanwhile the challenge of making it ahead in modern life, which most people fail at out of no fault of their own even if they play the cards they were dealt as smartly as possible… is considered a perfectly good design element of adult life.

On a lighter note I really wish the pinging system in games like Alex legends could be combined with a simple face recognition overlay (that only pulls from your semiprivate private network of photos with friends under certain sharing conditions) that just reminded you of people’s names and maybe very succinctly their connection with you.
Quit
Type “Quit Smoking” in console
Mushrooms that make me grow tall and gives an extra life. Bonus would be the fire flower.
Best I can do are mushrooms that can give you a new lease on life, or at absolute worse psychosis.
Want some fire flower? I know a guy for that too.
Going to the gym and getting fit in like 10 minutes like in San Andreas
Equal application of the rules
Let me introduce you to microtransactions
Reset, New Game.
Item duplication glitch, infinite gold, infinite health potions etc. Post scarcity world, here we come!
We already have infinite money glitch. Fiat currency just prints more whenever it suits the gov
Also high frequency trading generating money from dips/spikes in stocks’ values that are too short lived to affect anything on a human scale. And banks lending money (and thus generating interests from it) they don’t actually have yet but I think it’s related to the fiat currency thing ?
I guarantee algorithmic traders don’t make that much, relative to the amount they start with. If you want to code your own and find out, there’s probably someone with an easy-to-sign-up-for API.
Sure, it’s probably only worth it for huge banks that hook almost directly into transcontinental internet cables (to which my anti capitalist ass would say, that’s probably why it’s legal), but to me, that still basically generating some profits by exploiting a “glitch” in the implementation of stock trades while bringing absolutely no real value to the system.
So does that mean you think human-speed trades are different? Usually people that lead with anti-capitalist think it’s all witchcraft.
Yes, stocks were made to finance human businesses and be traded between humans to exchange “parts” of a company easily. I’m not fond of capitalism but I can’t deny that the stock market provides value under this system. But I don’t see where high frequency trading actually brings any of the value it “generates” into this.
My main issues with our current brand of capitalism is that money can be very far removed from reality, with things like greenhouse gasses emissions being effectively “free” even though they affect everyone on the planet, including our economic systems. So, the way I see it, it heavily incentivizes short term profits at the cost of basically everything else. Unless we regulate the hell out of it I guess, but apparently that is a sin against the free market
Yeah, but it blows up if they don’t print just the right amount relative to taxation, so is it really a free lunch?
Inventory
Hmm. That could range from a minor convenience and security hazard to economy-changing, depending on capacity.
