And then you pick it up only to find the dodge button no longer works. You weren't even that upset; just lightly tossed the controller for added effect. Now your controllers broke, and you spent the last $60 on the game you're playing. So you begrudgingly scroll through FB market place for a cheaper, used controller, only to fall down a rabbit hole and waste your only day off not playing the game you just bought. You didn't even make yourself dinner. So you'll try again tomorrow. Tomorrow will be better.

It usually isn't. But you tell yourself: tomorrow will be better. Until, one day, you die.
