  •  Most games I play are stressful:

    •  Almost any Real Time Strategy game
    •  Almost any MOBA
    •  Chess
    •  Shooters and such
  •  Many games that we think of as relaxing can be quite stressful:

    •  Roller Coaster Tycoon

 Develop:

  •  What makes a game truly relaxing?
  •  What amps up the stress levels in a game?
  •  Do stressful games contribute to burnout?
  •  Making progress on writing for my game
  •  Got back to the gym after being sick, which helps me massively
  •  Chess as a metaphor for setting myself up for success

 Repeat:
