What kind of an investment would someone need to make to maximize enjoyment of this game? Could I enjoy it with keyboard/mouse or should I at least buy some specific equipment?
That's reasonably cheap; beyond that the sky's the limit.

Long periods of sitting are actually very hard on your system and one of the reasons why so many quit doing what they love. Also tight deadlines and other maybe less obvious constant stressors might exacerbate pernicious effects. For that reason even junior and intermediate developers should think twice about fair/sustainable remuneration. Ageisim diclaimer: That doesn't mean that there aren't lots of people with exc…
What other areas do people with technical backgrounds move into that don't require so much sitting? With degrees in physics and applied math, I'm not sure where I can go and not be at a desk (or take a huge hit in $$). Just 3 years out from school, and I can definitely notice the difference in my physical health and mental agility. I have taken up gardening to get me outside and eat decently well. I can still feel th…

You have to go to the gym every day. At least 5 days a week. Heavy workout where you train intensively your upper and lower body. I do this now for about 10 years and the difference is like day and night. Both mentally and physically. The "don't have time" argument is in my opinion not valid. By exercising you gain so much more time just because you work more efficiently.

If you look at some statistics (can't find it now) I seem to recall sales and marketing have lower prevalence of obesity. Meanwhile construction workers have higher. I think what matters more is less stress in a job, eating healthy and doing physical activity regularly.
In the 80s, I used to play the subLOGIC Flight Simulator II on my father's Apple //e. Later, I wondered whether this was a predecessor to Microsoft's Flight Simulator. Apparently it sort of was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_Simulator_II_(subLOGIC)

If you can work from home (big if) then you might consider looking into a standing desk + treadmill. There are some decent options available. The "Autonomous" desk is great, I purchased JUST the legs and use an IKEA top to save money. Now, I'm looking at the "Treadly" treadmill. Technically, this isn't an "under desk" treadmill, but it's the thinnest treadmill on the market and can be operated without the bars uprigh…
Story time: as a kid I would use FS to do intercontinental flights with my cousin. My (small) room would be divided in two: passenger seating, and cockpit. We would sit down at my computer and take turns flying. I would convince my little sisters to sit down in the passenger area which were two chairs behind a curtain (they for some reason found it less entertaining than we did and often decided to leave early in the…
