You're the gift that keeps giving, Damar. You generate so much content. I don't know where GalMil would be without you. |

(snip)
The application would be a bit of a stretch since it's, well, a video game. People play video games for enjoyment and to unwind. Relatively few people experience moral qualms about doing violence to pixels. Death is a transitory game state rather than an existential end that heightens stress levels. You can stop playing at any time.
If people 'burn out' of EVE, it's generally because they get tired of the game, not because of stress-induced mental breakdown. Often, they come back after playing other games.

Except I've seen Damar say he hates factional warfare and isn't playing for fun - if this is true, then maybe he's staying out of some sense of loyalty, and his behaviour over the years is possibly some kind of virtual stress induced mental breakdown?
I mean, US soldiers get this, and they are a volunteer army. It's not a completely implausible explanation.
Then again, I Am Not A Psychologist, but I thought the point that he doesn't actually seem to play for fun may be relevant since you do seem to know what you are talking about.
For the sake of my own mental health, I have avoided looking too deeply into the phenomenon of Damar Rocarion. There are pathos at work here, the investigation of which will lead one down a dark and uncertain path.
Better to accept that Damar exists, that the yawning chasm of the universe is vast enough to produce such things, and that, at any given time, Damar is orbiting a button somewhere. |
