I’ve found it useful for getting approaches to programming projects. Rarely does it completely solve my problems, but it keeps me headed in the right direction.
I’m also partway through making my first ARG and it’s super useful for generating ideas, especially when I feed it my established lore because it can keep ideas within that universe.
I’ve found overall, it’s best to use it to fill in the gaps on ideas I have in general. I theoretically could make all of the content myself from scratch, but I’m honestly terrible at all the little details in many cases. It allows me to not dwell on the little stuff.
What Remains of Edith Finch is a great way to break this metric as well. Fantastic emotional rollercoaster of a story that’s over in about 2-3 hours. The original Portal also fits here. Probably about 4-6 hours for most people, but hits hard on quality and impact.
