For the first question, I play games fairly often, and I'm making efforts to play more of them, but I constantly put it off because in my mind I always feel pressure that I should stop being lazy and playing games and should get back to working on them.

Which is ridiculous, I should be playing games if I'm making games, but it's a really hard thing to shake off, and I have been struggling to do so for years.

But just due to the nature of how things work and how picky I am, sometimes there's also long periods of time where I do want to play games and there are none that particularly interest me.

For the second question, I have made a few good friends through working on a game that I speak to pretty much daily, so that sort of blurs the line between friendship and work, but outside of that I pretty much never talk to anybody.

This is another thing that I'm personally trying to improve on, I have this stupid idea in my head that's just kinda lodged itself there that if I'm trying to initiate conversations with friends instead of letting them do it, I'm being a nuisance because they're probably busy and I shouldn't bother them.

So I occasionally go years at a time without speaking to them because I'm too afraid to start the conversation. And maybe they are too and we're all stupid, who knows.

On the topic of Discords, I used to be quite active in the Discord for the game I work on, and there were quite a few people in there that I really liked talking to, but the general atmosphere of a large public Discord server was so off-putting and toxic to me that I could not stay there, and I have been away from it for over a year now.

It's unfortunate because I miss talking to some of the people in there from time to time, but I had a very unhealthy relationship with that place that I am glad that I broke.
