You’re in a busy Minecraft village. The villagers are “Hrrmmm”-ing, the animals are loud, and the mobs are making scary noises. It feels like too much and your brain feels crowded. What could you say or do?
“I need a quiet place for a minute.” “Can we turn the game volume down?” “I need a break in a quiet biome.” “I’m going to pause the game and breathe.”
