If you can enjoy these things in healthy moderation, fantastic.
But given the stakes and the odds, I choose not to play. If we’re being completely honest, there’s a nonzero chance of winning this game. Yes, there’s a chance I could roll the game-winning double six (I don’t know a lot about dice games, so I’m just making up rules), which is already unlikely, but the dice are also weighted not to roll a six. Yes, there are those who would correctly state that things like family history, genetic predisposition, and data gathered from observations of my own tendencies toward addictive behavior are not necessarily a guarantee that partaking of these things will go badly for me, but I see it as rolling a pair of loaded dice. I have never had a drop of alcohol nor experimented with any mind-altering substance not out of any moral opposition to these things but simply because I know how my brain is wired. And I’ve become really obsessed with the idea of healthy recreation lately, and there’s a very important reason for this. Second, I think if I had to describe what my aim is in writing these seemingly disparate posts, I think would be this: I want to transcribe anything that I, as any of the aforementioned professions/states of existence, find generally useful in my pursuit of bettering those things. I’ve always loved discussing games as an art form and critiques thereof, and it’s my blog, so why not? Well, first of all: Indulging an age-old passion of mine. Am I giving advice? Am I journaling out loud? Am I discussing the experience of being an audiobook narrator? A voice actor? An actor in general? A businessperson? A person in general? Am I suddenly changing careers and starting from square one in independent media criticism (no, definitely not that one)? What exactly am I doing here? I realize my branding of this blog isn’t exactly consistent. It’s a game review (skip to the image of the game title if my preamble doesn’t interest you). This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.
