** SpaceWhaleAesop: Some scenes qualify. For example, the scene where Carl brags about teaching Jimbroth to cook through gameplay (rather than spending the same amount of time ''actually'' learning how to do it) is actually a pretty good message about how to use time effectively. However, there's a similar scene later where Jimbroth presents Jessica with an amulet which he and Carl earned from grinding through a dungeon. Carl [[BraggingRightsReward found the amulet useless after grinding for so long for it]], but Jimbroth tells a heart-wrenching story about how he earned it after many of his friends died and vowed only to give it to the pure of heart. That pushes the scene into this trope because there is no way Carl could have gotten such an amulet, under the conditions he did, ''except'' through a videogame, and Jimbroth's own personal connection to the it are (at best) part of a personal story that would not exist without said game. Somewhat downplayed, in that ''Jimbroth'' didn't know that.
