If you think about it, the classic Western hero, tight lipped, isolating, and quick to violence, is pretty much a diagnosis of depression. The highest paid worker on a cattle drive was the cook; that’s how desperate cowboys were for any pleasure
in his book “Little Wars” W.G. Wells suggested locking generals in a huge room with an unlimited number of toy soldiers and letting the rest of us get on with life.
There are some Western States that are fighting lame virtual reality battles about borders, abortion, the environment, gun control, and undying support for the Orange Messiah!
And just what or who do they think they’re shooting? Each other? Other outlaws? Forest animals? They’ll take off the glasses and say, “oh, you’re still here?”

One of the onlookers should be squeezing bubble wrap, so at least it sounds like there’s a gun battle going on.

They’ll go from shooting to pooting once the chips and soda are consumed.

I’ve played games on those VR glasses. People were upset that I didn’t take the games seriously.

When VR first came out in the 90s, it was pretty bad. I imagine it’s a lot better now

There needs to be some sort of timing of the actual action, especially with the consumption of soda. They can’t take a “virtual” potty break.
