That's a huge difference!

Call of Duty hits different if it's not a video game, and cleaning your house hits different when it's only inside the video game.

On the other hand, Chess and other classical non-physical-sport games are pretty much the same in meat space and on the computer.

It's definitely different, but it can be pretty similar really. Tending my actual plants and tending plants in stardew valley are both pleasant things I like to do while listening to an audiobook or podcast.
