I think we're hammering at this rock from opposite sides. But I we'll meet eventually.

I understand perfectly what you're saying. Focus on the parts of the game that I can control. But to my ears right now this is like saying, change the tire on your car, but don't use a jack.

Every time I end a session that is part of a multiday downswing I want to start another one soon thereafter. I know I can beat this game. I want to prove it. I'm stubborn. I tell myself that if I make the right decisions it'll work out. Then I start playing, get a few beats in a row, and am at witts end.

When you get pissed off at the game, what do you do? Do you play through it? Do you go jogging? Do you have a punching bag? Do you bash on the drums? Do you go barhopping with friends and get drunk? Do you do a home improvement project?

Anything? I'm open to ideas.

Or have you reached the point where you no longer get frustrated with the game? And if so, how did you get to that point?
