That empty feeling post session

This isn’t a criticism of OW, although it is still somewhat disappointing to play a good match, and still lose. No, if anything, OW is a welcome retreat from the unnecessary and unwanted drama in my life at the moment. In OW, I get to focus on my plays, helping my team win. In a match, I’m flanking, lining up shots as Widow (sometimes cursing that side to side strafing movement) or soaring after wounded teammates as Mercy. Blue beam on Bastion! Go forth, my friend!

My happiness in OW is simple. I don’t need to win, though it’s always nice. If I can show off my Widowmaker, get some nice plays, I often content with that.

If I’m in the middle of a good match, pesky thoughts of the junk in my real life don’t often intrude. Not until my session ends, at least.

This last is slightly off topic. Rather, it is the topic. The reason I felt compelled to play OW. I play OW when I’m stressed, it seems.

If you wouldn’t mind, could you say a prayer for my Dad? I won’t say much except that he has a problem with his heart. I hope he’s going to be ok.

Not much else to say.

Of course. I am not particularly religious; however, I will say a prayer anyways. If worst comes to worst, hopefully the good vibes I send out into the morphogenetic field will help just a little bit. Hope he gets better soon, Adieu. I truly mean that. Imma kiss him! :kissing_heart:

Thanks, Buddha. I appreciate it. :slightly_smiling_face:

With luck, this won’t be as bad as I’m worrying it is. Hopefully, the doctors can find out what’s wrong, and help fix him.

You’re a great storyteller :relieved:

I know exactly how you feel. My dad is terminally ill and I’ve been the most addicted to Overwatch I’ve ever been in my life. I’ve also been finding it a good distraction for me and find it’s the only thing really in life making me feel good lately.

Anyways, did not mean to make this about me but rather relate to your situation. I am sorry to hear about your dad and hope his health improves :blue_heart: I’ll be keeping your dad in my thoughts as well :blue_heart: also hope you are doing okay :slight_smile:

No, it’s okay. I’m okay. Like you said, OW helps.

I’m sorry about your dad. I will pray for him as well.
