I know this doesn't really effect anyone, but I think it is time to get this off my chest. I now work as a cashier for a non-profit organization (instead of an abusive food truck, where I would binge-game after work for any sort of relief) and am realizing what's more important.
My time, my energy, my health, and seeing how what I do impacts the lives of others. That matters more to me now than bragging rights of a video game objective now.
Something I'm sure I'll miss, but something that has only grown to be something unhealthy. I've realized just how much I've lost and how my addiction has cost me.
I can't see myself continuing on this path for much longer...if I do, I'm sure it'll be a casual thing. Not so much an "OMG, I HAVE TO COMPLETE IT SO I CAN REVIEW IT" mentality...a mentality that caused more harm in the end after years of abuse.

Hi bro, sorry bro

Benefiting nobody but myself for just a few seconds, seeing a popup saying that I accomplished something either several have or very few have. It also bothered me to see all the visual novels that come out.
People that put months or years into making only to have people skim over them for the achievements and to leave either a joke review or a harsh review, only talking about the achievements instead of the product...reviews that would not benefit other players and would only harm the developers.
I get that some of you may still "Skip" for achievements and I'm not criticizing you for it, but if you do, please don't insult the developers for making it "too quick to skip through for an easy 100%, best 2 minutes spent".

Hello! I couldn't reach you in private, so here's the answer to your question: No, it's not normal to have an inflammation in the anal area after intense penetration.

I let my obsession drive me to madness beginning in November last year to a peak in Summer of this year, where I noticed an OCD behavior that sought to "clean out" my life...and by that, I mean with all the clutter in my life, I was tampering with "extreme" cleaning.
Mostly getting rid of prized possessions, friends, family, and especially account deletion on sites that I spent several years of commitment on. Some accounts are now gone forever from this OCD behavior, others are thankfully restored.
It's for this reason that I played less and less, for the sake of my own damaged psyche and my physical health after years and years of slaving away on something that gave temporary joy.
