Entertainment in the Solar Echoes Universe (part 3)


The leafy Erwani have a different outlook on entertainment due to their long, slower-paced lives. Consider that to most Erwani, a game of chess is “too fast.” Erwani prefer entertainment that spans many hours, and as a result, their movies, operas, and competitions can last for days at a time. By contrast, however, Erwani seem to also enjoy tests of technical skill in digital environments, and often hold competitions that involve hacking. Fast-twitch video games and simulations are popular among Erwani grafted with data tendrils, and challenges focused on computational or coding skills have become some of the most popular broadcasts. This odd dichotomy between fast-paced, active entertainment and long, drawn-out passive forms of entertainment demonstrates that Erwani may have found a true balance between tension and relaxation.
