This article is a bit broken on Firefox so I highly recommend playing this on anything Chromium, but it's really cool - they essentially turned the article into a webgame to showcase the mental health benefits of a cozy video game.

I go into a meditative, Zen-like Trance playing the Doom titles.

For reference, I've been playing Doom since it came out in 1993, arguably, I've played it for more hours than possibly anyone alive on the Internet at the present moment. Maybe over a solid 128,000 hours between D1/D2/D3/D2016/D:Eternal.

I still play it, various MegaWADS featured in the CacoAwards, and whatnot, but I digress.

My feeling with this is, as they'd say:

"Your judgement for the sin of wrath is an eternity in Hell".

"Why are you smiling? It's supposed to be a punishment."

"No, adjudicator, I heard you perfectly. An eternity in paradise."
