Episode notes
People who really benefit from this experience are people who feel like games are real in a way, like they don't see them as escapist. People depression ruminate on very negative thoughts about themselves or their circumstances. Maybe it's the new word game, wordle, created by josh wordle a present for his word game obsessed partner. Or maybe, like for my husband, jerritt, it's league of legends with his brothers and friends. Either way, it's nice to interrupt destructive thought patterns with a good old fashioned game.
