If real life was like your favourite game

If real life was like a video game

Forget working 9 to 5, just go collect some wood on a side quest rather

Definitely QuickSave with multiple slots or at least Rewind or just time travel of sorts.

Fast travel should be a thing.

We almost have duplication with 3D printers and full duplication with software.

Auto-Tune? It's called service plan IRL.

Another great mechanics would be:
Respawning - "Dying is awesome! All of the cool kids are doing it!" -Borderlands 2
Magic - who need physical effort to do stuff, and even bother with guns?
Overlay GUI with absolute info on people, objects, and of course, yourself.
Built-in communicator + internet. No more worries about forgotten phone or no internet reception in time of need for quick lookup!
Absolute display of experience, skills and its levelling progression.

Quicksave/load.
Quit.
Restart.
Fast travel.

Inventory, without a doubt...

And straying a bit from the article, if life was like my favourite game, I'd be hitting on an Asari right now

Re-spawn,
