I really resonate with the concept of a third place in your life. I know personally as a child my third place was secluding myself into a game world, similar to your experience playing Hades. This is such an easy way to separate from your home and work life, and that convenience is important in a life where the world is at your fingertips. Now as an adult, I advocate for more social versions of this experience. Specifically, I enjoy using Dungeons and Dragons as a tool to both create a third place for my friends and I to escape to, while cultivating the social aspect of friendship. Though being the game master who writes their own stories is difficult, it's currently the best way for me to have a convenient third place, and hopefully provide that opportunity for my friends as well.
