Like the mythical Candy Man, it feels like I invited this historical pain into my life. Now it’s time to become an Exorcist.
‘Cause you could fall in, and go psycho
Ain’t no tellin’ where this might go
But I take my chances either waySo come and fuck my life up, baby

Fuck my life up
Come and fuck my life up, baby
Fuck my life up
Come and fuck my life up, baby
Fuck my life up
Come and fuck my life up, baby
Fuck my life up’
This is not the time or place to be broken-hearted or wounded. Condolences are often followed with a mild barrage of stories about how “they lost someone also” and whilst this is fine and therapeutic for them it does nothing for me. Anyhow, it all said with the best of intentions, so I listen and smile and pivot onto another topic.
Using my own self craft Gaming As a Therapeutic method (GAT) I dived back into the Divison 2 for the Chapter 3 content and of course, my absolute best killing style of burning things to a crisp was boasted by the Firewall Specialist. This is very appropriate for Firewall Specialist.
Trying to remain upbeat in a onslaught of negative news is beast especially Division 2 glitches my out of the game every few hours . This is annoying in an otherwise smooth online service but users and gamers expected 99.999% uptime nowadays and I know how tough that is to maintain.
Putting certain goals on your New Year’s Resolution is a sure-fire way of failing them. The social pressure to announce an annual goal is as prominent as ever and many of us just blurt out random expected goals like losing weight, give up smoking, etc. with no real commitment or expectation to achieve the goal. You are fooling nobody but yourself.
My goal for 2020 is to have less than 15-hours a week PS4 game time. This will help me to focus on quality gaming rather than casually picking up the latest title but will hurt my PVE Raiding.
….but wait
Does watching game streams actual gaming? The second hard experience of watching streamers pace through your favorite titles may be considered involvement and therefore gaming by some. The fact that you interact with the gamer, shape their direction and share their failures and achievements is relevant. It also takes dedicated time but smart lurkers often have multiple screens for this.
