Any Austin If He Never Discovered Gaming

Summary

The narrator conducts a one-day “live in the apartment” experiment, treating the apartment like a game world and trying to follow real-life routines. The experiment runs from Monday, September 21, to Tuesday, September 22, with meals, activities, and sleep kept in sync with the narrator’s real schedule.

Explore and Assess the Apartment

The narrator studies the apartment’s floor plan, discovers a bathroom waterfall, inspects the working hot- and cold-water pipes beneath the sink, and searches for other residents. The census finds only the narrator, resulting in an apartment employment rate of 100%—though the narrator’s job remains unclear.

Follow a Daily Routine

The day includes a cinnamon protein shake for breakfast, work on a video project, a Panera Bread sandwich for lunch, another protein shake for dinner, chores, and an attempt to contact a friend.

Find Entertainment in Small Details

With few usable recreational features, the narrator visits quiet corners, listens to machinery in the maintenance closet, and reads Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 2, alongside a real-world copy.

Overall Impression

The apartment lacks some practical amenities, but the narrator comes to appreciate its atmosphere and odd details. The day ends with a comic lightning round about the apartment and a closing song about eating ice cream.
