Not realllllly related to the OP's post, but I practice this game everyday and it is a continual exercise in emotion management. There's really nothing like encountering an obstacle that can be overcome but which you personally don't know how to overcome, and having someone continually use that against you and mock you for it.
Honestly one of your spaced-repetition exercises should be "play a character you don't know how to use, lose badly over and over, and just let it go without an elevated heartbeat."
- arxanas 6y agoEmotional management and being able to detach yourself is a legitimate skill that needs to be trained, and it applies to other real-life situations too. Frustrating video games can help! Personally, I already grinded this skill pretty well through many hours of playing and losing at Nethack, an unforgiving roguelike. I would definitely recommend something in the roguelike/roguelite genre if you're interested in improving your emotional management, since all of your progress can be wiped away by permadeath due to one false move, and you just have to learn to deal with it.
