Don’t know what it is we are going to play tonight. It’s one of those competition type ones.
I like Mario kart. But haven’t played it in years.
Mario Kart’s a classic, fun times!
You just reminded me of a thought. I know some people who’d like to play games like that but can’t because the camera movement makes them dizzy. Reminds me of a thing I had, where I wanted to make accessibility in video games my job at one point. People who have disabilities or restrictions of some sort (whether sensory, cognitive, or mobility) are more likely to have more difficulty or less opportunity for social inclusion. Since video games are a way to either spend time with people or share common experiences/culture, I think it’s worth focusing some effort on to make it more inclusive. So many adjustments (like colour-blind modes, or more options for controls) are pretty low cost for a game developer to implement, but to many would-be players, those small changes make the difference between being able to play or not.
Don’t know what the job would look like. Could work directly for a company, implementing changes like that. Could look into consulting. Or working with a non-profit. Haven’t explored the business side much.

Sounds like a plan James. I know people do struggle sometimes.

Today has been interesting. My fiancé drinks (only on weekends/once during the week). He drinks to be drunk. Ongoingly. He snaps the day after. I had a trigger and it may have sounded ungrateful but I just went into survival mode. He was way over the top, amped up, aggressive and gaslighting/judging me. Now I understand people get angry (I just calmly said I was going out to do what I needed go do - I didn’t want to go with him). I felt too triggered. He then yells then you can spend all of Thanksgiving by yourself. I said okay that’s fine (calm relaxed body) I left. We go to the same laundry mat and while my youngest and I were there (she’s my daughter no relation to him) he completely ignored me. He was in my apartment building visiting someone and saw we came up with grocceries - again he just ignored us.
I am sad. I disappointed. For a small thing that I was triggered - you don’t verbally make someone feel less than. Not fighting fair.
I had a difficult time regulating. I thought how is my body going to calm?
Well it is 
this is the first time ever - proving trauma therapy and addiction work is working for me.
I didn’t even for a second moment consider getting a hit for a high.
I am very proud of me.
