This is really not good. Steam is by far the largest pc platform and where most indie games make the majority of their money. The likelihood of indie LGBTQ+ games getting banned over completely benign "sexual content" is huge.
The Pathfinder game i play can be brutal. The party has learned to just nope the fuck out if something looks sketchy. The dm told us at the beginning that the world was "real" and we're just thrown in it, so nothing is level adjusted.
I normally only play draft or sealed in person, its way to expensive to compete in constructed, but I'm traveling and the shop was down to lend me decks so i got in on some commander action.
Lol i was until i forgot that all your opponents cards leave the battle field when they're defeated. I knocked three of the four other players out in a single turn, then my stolen Nine Lives left the board...
I go through phases like that. I do a combination of things. Drink tons of water and tea. Up my caffeine and nicotine intake, probably not the healthiest choice but they're both appetite suppressants. And give myself some sort of small barrier, like i have to do ten pushups everytime before i grab a snack, totally doable if I'm actually hungry but enough of a pain in the ass to cut down on randomly grabbing something.
I also stop buying most snacks, stock up on celery and carrots, it's easier to have self control in a grocery store then at home. Definitely makes me temporarily cranky when i just want a handful of corn chips but that passes quickly enough.
And on the days I'm in too much pain to get out of bed, the days where i can't mentally cope with talking to another human no matter how much i love them? When reading is literally too much effort and TV isn't engaging enough to keep me out of a depression spiral?
Video games have literally saved my life more then once. Several times when I've been in a really bad mental spot I've managed to bury myself so deep in a game (The witcher and RDR2) that by the time i finished my brain had had a chance to calm enough and i was able to keep pushing through life.
For at least the first few months when black lives matter protest got big I was an "all lives matter" dipshit. And i was angry that their protest would disrupt my commute. Every time i hear Body Count's No Lives Matter I'm hit with a massive wave of cringe.
