my version of ray zee's "the different stages in a player's life"

[The Bryce]

I think steps 5-7 can be summarized as "Player neglects to achieve balance and [censored] himself." You can ruin anything with OCD behavior. Those "steps" are strictly compulsory. Now that you've gone fishing for empathy, take a vacation or do something that's going to improve your quality of life.

You make a wicked income working short hours. If you can't find a way to enjoy that I wouldn't be so quick to blame the source of income.
