Been gaming a lot lately.

Overall quality of life has improved with it I must say.

MSM and Youtube(corporate tube)

I have reduced my consumption of news by about 90% on most days. I used to check reddit/steem a few dozen times a day, its less than two times a day now. And when I do check it I mainly just quickly browse the headlines. I used to click into tons of posts and read all the comments people make.

Youtube is going more corporate tube with the recent admission that they are suppressing independent creators and giving the search algorithm views to MSM(Fox/CNN/MSNBC/ABC/NBC/NPC/etc). Link below explaining. So since the biggest platform and search engine is rigging the results, it almost makes me not want to even try anymore. But I know that I do need to try, when I can and when I feel able to. I can't let them get away with suppression and censorship.

Gaming

I have been playing Runescape off and on since it basically came out. It is always a good time. Grinding out levels and occupying your mind, putting you into an almost meditative like state. I think that is what gaming does to a lot of people, and why it is so relaxing(and good for you!).

There is a free card game on Ethereum called God's Unchained I have also been playing. I kind of have a mixed view of it as it seems to be extremely battle heavy, as in its lots of creatures fighting eachother and wiping the playing field constantly. I kind of like the game and also have some issues with it, I find it a lot less strategic than MTG for example. It is a free to play game that let's you play with a starter deck. I used to play Nova Blitz(a card game that had huge fundraising and backing from actual MTG founders), but that went bankrupt and basically failed. Even though that game was better than MTG in my opinion, it failed hard.

It is hard to get users into a game, Gods Unchained though allows you to download the game and play with minimal fuss. You only have to download metamask plugin for your browser to start playing. No buying cards necessary.

So I am writing this post to highlight what they are doing to suppress us all, and how gaming more and consuming less MSM is really helpful for my mental state. It might be helpful for you too :)
