In order to find these things, you must first set off on a mission, much like you would in a video game. These are your faster cars, advanced levels of education, improved skills, better relationships, etc. In video games, as in life, there are power-ups and level-ups, Siu explains.

In order to find these things, you must first set off on a mission, much li I heard about this one on an episode of the Pomp Podcast and pre-ordered it because of how much I enjoyed that episode.
