one day before my stroke, I hit my gaming PUBG dream (a cautionary tale)

I genuinely wish you all the best with your recovery.

Thanks Sid, all the best to you too,
my recovery is basically over now though, I won't be getting any better than I am now, gonna be in a wheelchair for life, motor neurons just don't grow back, mores the pity!

Genuinely sorry to hear that.
Are you still playing pubg at all?
If so, I've not played in a while, but I'd jump into the battlegrounds with you!

Not entirely sure whether you've forgiven him or just trying to finish him off

Our boy has a big dick and a great sense of humour too.
Just like his dad.
he is emotionally stable, and is a swimmer, not a sinker.
Just like his mum

Just what in the actual straight up **** are these cold facts? Holy moly, that boy ain't right I tell you what.

i've already had a wake up call but this is another one. At 35 i have fatty liver and high cholesterol. Currently on a fairly strict diet and going to the gym in order to try and reverse both.

Good health is one of those things that many people take for granted until they lose it. But, it'll happen to us all, either suddenly or gradually.

I think moderation is key. Whether it's gaming, going to the gym or trainspotting, if you do something for too long you're likely to start obsessing over it. Obsession leads to compulsion and then it's unhealthy.

Video game makers actively encourage people to play for as long as possible. When I turn on my ps5 I get a warning saying to take regular breaks, but then the whole platform is set up to make me play as long as possible by getting achievements for doing a certain level, or travelling a certain distance.

Entertainment streaming platforms actively encourage people to "binge watch". It seems to be fashionable too. I hear people in work talking about the latest drama, saying "yeah I binged that on the weekend".

How sad

and pubs are suppsoed to stop serving people when they get drunk lol... such ********
I mean after 3 pints im already quite merry so should they stop serving me then?

You should be asking yourself that question.
