So, I like my job, and the stress, but it’s never ending. I have 30 years of building up this ongoing task/work load and how to handle it. If I fuck up work, it has super shitty consequences. The risks are enormous to me personally, so I have to do a lot of work being risk adverse. I can’t charge into the middle of a disaster and beat shit into submission, at work.
When I game, I can use my abilities of my real job to pull people together and take on big risks for big rewards and if it fails, we just sit around, lick our virtual wounds and try again next week.
I play games to escape the permanence of any fuckups I do in my career.
