I had a situation yesterday that forced me to re-evaluate my coping skill levels. it’s been a while since I practised and, like many skills, you can lose the talent. Meanwhile, the first batch of PS5 pre-orders were snapped up in a matter of minutes and Amazon sold out.

The question of “Do you love me?” can come up after an argument or major disagreement. But chemicals needed for Love such as Norepinephrine and Dopamine are often too low during classic fight or flight conflicts.
The no gameplay routines of a lifetime gamer can be more destructive than anything and raise resentment of this level of deprivation often demanded by your inner circle, like taking candy away from a grown child. Is it acceptable to play games in an office environment?
The gamers’ environment encouraged by some tech giants has always claimed it nurtured genius and productivity. But like any drug not taken in moderation, gaming can be catastrophic as the gamer neglects real-life commitments and normal habits abandoning social interactions for this “safe space”. It’s a matter of balance.
Just like that the Summer ends and sends us into the darkness for months. Well not quite darkness just shorter days so waking up in the dark and leaving work in the dark. I need Sun to thrive so this time of year is horrendous for my mood, had two silly arguments already.
I’m self-aware about my proneness to Seasonal Depression and have my strategies in place to tackle this somewhat made up condition.
Method 1 Fly South (Florida here I come) Method 2 Get up earlier to catch the daylight

Game release timing is always critical. I’m very picky with when I buy a title as the marketing hype from AAA studios is often a punch in the face. Indie titles are a bit more honest but often lack the wow factor. Funny thing is that I’m really enjoying indie title HellBlade.
I sidestepped the travesty of No Man’s Sky but still curious and would probably buy the full game for $20 or so but definitely not for the current $60. I added two low commitment titles that were not on my buy list but pleasantly interesting with a tempting price drop to $5 from $20, Firewatch and Inside.
Mafia III (released July 2016) is also down to $16 from $40 but the timing is not right and the drop indicates a possible freebie later this year for PS4 Plus members as they try to boost sales.
I’m running around the FarCry5 environment blowing up Silo and searching for bunkers. Turns out the past 96 hours has been my very own mental bunker. The great thing about being in a bunker is just having mental space to think but, naturally, you don’t want to be there for too long as the world passes you by.
One of the streamers I’ve followed since Star Wars BattleFront (2015) joined my game and we blew up some heavily armoured trucks to complete one of my missions.
The Co-op feature was fast and seamless and will definitely be useful for harder missions. As usual, the issue will come down to good communication and agreeing strategies (Stealth or Rampage).
My normal rigid emotional state has been stretched over the past 10 days supporting Loved ones and friends. I wasn’t at full readiness but was able to be there when needed. All down to my single-minded goal focus.
Living simple, clear out unnecessary material things, filter communication, eliminate social media chatter.
Of course, this creates new social links whether you like it or not.
With only 6 days remaining, I’m total ready for FarCry 5. With US server downloads ready on Sunday, I can see it may well take 1-2 dayst to complete the download.
