    Cyberpunk 2077 is not a happy game, some quest lines have really grim themes, but perhaps it also allows some processing of difficult emotional stuff through the story. I haven’t finished it yet but there have been two quest lines that really struck me as well.

    I’ve cried over Alexander the Warrior Jar in Elden Ring.

    Games can have a strong impact on us.

    I’m sorry to hear about your trauma. Hopefully you’ll find ways to work with it and things get easier over time. Lately I’ve watched a lot of videos from Patrick Teahan about CPTSD and recovery. I get comfort from his content and the validation feels important.

      I’ve done some reading about CPTSD and it’s… surreal to read about something that so perfectly explains my situation. Autism itself isn’t a disability, but rather it’s CPTSD that does the disabling.

      I’ll have to check out those videos. I appreciate the suggestion.

      While Cyberpunk is indeed not a happy game I still greatly appreciate the maturity, the heavy themes, and the critiques of American society and capitalism. Even the romances are mature and well written.
