Ah. So that's your angle.

Okay, let's explore that avenue.

Why do I... play video games?

Well, because, I'm single and they're an enjoyable and comparatively inexpensive way of passing time between now and when I die.

I am in a holding pattern you see. In a matter of a few years my house will be paid off, whereupon I will start saving for a different, better house on a lake where I can get a boat. And then instead of sitting at a computer listening to podcasts while playing video games while waiting to die, I'll sit on a boat listening to podcasts while trolling for fish while waiting to die.

Now, if you want me to do something more productive with my life than that... you're gonna have to show me a woman who isn't fat, ugly, conceited, crazy, in massive debt, or a single mother. If the world can't manage that, then, well, fuck the world, let it all burn.

You use the word demoralization because you're channeling Yuri Bezmenov, but I'll tell ya what:

I was a kid when the cold war was still a thing, and if the choice were mine we'd have had WW3 thirty five years ago because it'd be better than the world we got.

Ah. So that's your angle.
