Mine has to be cop procederals and paper money.

A)I just like solving mysteries and problems and have a natural deference to authority figures, so I've watched way too many cop shows. The only one I'm not ashamed to name is The Wire, which is really good and probably is the only one with genuine substance.

B)It's not the concept of money I enjoy, i just like having a physical thing I exchange to get another physical thing. I..."dislike" per se, using numbers on a screen to get food or something.

I don't see why games would fundamentally change in a communist society, if anything it would be a golden age for gaming and pretty much all sort of media.

Especially games since they require relatively low equipment to be produced, in fact many games are developed as free time projects, by wealthy citizens from imperial core countries, just to be played by friends (Balatro, a massively succesful game was developed as a side project with the intent of distribute it to the friends of the developer).

I could imagine this happening but on a much larger scale in a communist society where abundance allows a much bigger % of the population access to the tools and the free time to pursue these kind of projects.
