Adult Gaming Session Report
You didn't play a game tonight. You filed a report.
Fill out six honest slots about your last “gaming session” — the hour you spent staring at the store page, the game you launched, the eleven minutes you lasted, the excuse — and we stamp it into an official Adult Gaming Session Report and hand you a diagnosis. It's for the three friends in your group chat who also own 400 games and have played none of them. Send it as a confession. They'll recognize the math.
