This is something I've wanted to discuss for a while, and something that I wanted to get in the open to help clear up some things about myself. During the making of this episode it allowed me to think deeper into the way I feel and make a clearer path about how I intend to tackle this issue that I have with myself.This is the kind of content that is usually reserved for a Secret Recording, something that's reserved for our Patreon, however I feel that now more than ever there are a lot of people who can either relate or are yet to realise that they are feeling this way, and that it's causing them a bit of grief. I hope this can help even just one of those people.At the end of the day, Video games have always been a safe space for individuals to let go and forget about their day to day lives. Right now, it seems that now more than ever people are finding that it's not what it used to be, including myself. I've started realising some days I've been acting more negatively to a hobby I love, and I really want that to stop.It's definitely not the perfect episode, it has it's flaws, and at times it's a little bit cringey, but this one helped me a lot. I hope you guys like it regardless.-Bryce
