I do sometimes wish there was a feature that separates asynchronous items from entering your perception, like toggling "future" shit off so songs don't play and cars look different. Like a censorship filter for immersion breaking/schizo/future shit.
But, then again, I always just RP that stuff "seems futuristic" and even if I'm hearing a song "I" like, my character(s) probably won't like it because it's not for the ears of my generation- and the era is not yet appropriate even if it is.
Comments like, "maybe people will like stuff like this someday," come to mind. Just make it humorous and roll on because the server needs money.
