Has SillyTavern rewired what you look for in a RPG?

Hey folks! We are a family couple and both are gamers. Since we discovered SillyTavern and text-based RPG, we almost stopped playing video games.

Don't get me wrong, we still occasionally hop into online games for a raw adrenaline rush. Risking high-value assets in EVE Online still gets our blood pumping and keeps the thrill alive. Yet, regular offline titles just can't hold our attention anymore. Text-based RPGs have completely rewired what we look for in a story. The empathy we feel for our own characters and the NPCs creates a deep emotional connection that standard single-player titles simply cannot match.

We wonder if this is a common pipeline for gamers turning to AI. Did SillyTavern break your ability to enjoy normal video games, or are we just way too deep down the rabbit hole?
