The biggest highlight for many gamers is likely the NES adaptation of Pac-Man . Pac-Man was remade and released many times over the years for various consoles, including the Game Boy, but the NES version was the first time many gamers had the chance to play it at home (aside from the lucky households who had an Atari 2600 in the early 1980s)....

There’s a certain comfort in a fridge full of leftovers. Dinner is handled. Lunch is prepped. But somewhere around day three, comfort starts curdling into anxiety—and the mental math gets a little creative. If you reheat it now, does the clock reset? Does it buy another few days? The answer is no. And food safety experts are pretty tired of this particular myth.

In my experience at the time, doctors and psychologists did not have as much of an understanding of this disorder. In fact, I was almost misdiagnosed with schizophrenia because of the nature of my intrusive thoughts.  One of my worst fears was about hurting the people in my life.

In fact, I was actively performing “rituals” and compulsions to make sure I wouldn’t harm anyone. Needless to say, it took a few psychologists to finally get the proper diagnosis...
