I still skip cutscenes in certain games especially when they drag on for ages - my biggest regret while gaming as a kid is the amount of useless accessories I used to buy for my consoles. For instance, I had...the power glove - I still didn't understand why I even bought that piece of trash in the first place lol.
When I first got into RPGs as a kid, the turn-based battle system used to annoy me to no end but as I grew older, I eventually grew to appreciate it. As a kid, I didn't have much patience with anything but it taught me a bit of patience.
This is such a bizarre and ironic one - while your disassociation theory does sound plausible but this study seems to still lack a lot of substantial evidence that it actually works. As we know, a new study can also come out tomorrow disproving this new finding so I'll just wait for more evidence before I can conclude that it can actually help.
