I hate to be melodramatic, but the suicide comments struck a chord with me. I very well might have without games. It's been something to live for, even in my darkest hours.
Before games, I was a pro at basketball. I've always had a soft spot for it, despite being worse than shit at it now. I don't know if that was something I could have lived for in the long-term though. The intelligence I have now isn't because I hooked myself to an electronic device, so the peers I'd have in the basketball scene would be underwhelming.
