Because the new SciFi RPG Starfield kept a player awake for a long time, he was able to save his family from a terrible accident.
The discussion platform Reddit often provides exciting insights into the life of the community. Recently, a player shared that he has been sober due to the new RPG and no longer drinks alcohol (the colleagues at GameStar reported).
Another story comes from user “tidyckilla”. He shared with the community how Starfield saved his life and that of his small family because he was sitting in front of the PC late at night during early access.
Fan stays up late and saves his small family
What happened? tidyckilla explains that he has been waiting forever for the release of Starfield. According to him, he has had his eye on the game since the first rumors of a trademark registration. He thinks it must have been 2015 or 2016.
Accordingly, his hype was intense. At the early access release on the evening of October 31, the plan was to stay up long and explore the new world with shining eyes.
Around 2:30 AM, tidyckilla was distracted by a loud bang. He immediately suspected that something had exploded. When he checked what was going on, he opened the apartment door and already saw the flames. There was a fire in the neighbor’s apartment one floor down.
He stomped into the bedroom, grabbed his wife and the cat. tidyckilla and his family suffered minor burns. The user thinks they would likely have died from smoke inhalation if he hadn’t been playing the new Starfield late into the night.
tidyckilla posted a picture of the fire:
How did the fire start? The user has not been able to answer this with certainty so far. His suspicion: The lady below him in the building was a smoker and used oxygen tanks. tidyckilla believes the explosion he heard was from the tanks. Unfortunately, the lady passed away.
However, tidyckilla cannot specify an exact cause for the fire.
What do other users say about this? The mood in the thread is somewhat subdued. Many users wish tidyckilla all the best and are happy for him that he and his family nearly emerged unscathed from the flames.
The other part, typically Reddit, is working through innuendos and memes. The comment with the most upvotes is, of course (via reddit.com): “Well, that settles it: Staying up late and playing video games is the right move.”
