4 days agoI enjoy Warframe because even the 2% rolls happen because I’m able to retry as much as I please. 2% doesn’t translate to a single attempt very well, so padding the odds would be warranted.
Scripted drops and stories like new Vegas where everything does something and you don’t often walk away feeling unpaid? Absolutely top shelf games. Or if it’s one more linear like Tales of ___ games where I grind for exp and resources but the thing is where it is you just have to go get it. Some skill or building up elsewhere and you become king.
Some cases are short term, situational depression - say, as a reaction to something happening or that occurred. Others are indeed chronic and unyielding. There are ways to manage it, or to adjust to it but I agree there is absolutely not a known cure.
Socializing is difficult when one’s instinct is to isolate. I learned that in non-human animals that exhibit depression it is often because they believe they are going to die and do not want to become liability to the rest of the group, when applicable.
Basically the same for humans where there’s a chance that if that situational depression is activated (for the lack of a better term) it might never shut off. Overactive hind-brain also makes one prone to fight/flight/fawn which is colloquially anxiety disorders.
