It would be accurate to say that I don't feel in control of my life in any respect.

At the end of my most recent session, my therapist suggested that I think about how to take control of my life. I left thinking, "that makes sense. That's fine homework. I can do that."

But now, several days later, I realise that I don't have a clue how to do that. I can think of destructive actions that would wrestle some control but make my life worse (break up with my wonderful partner! Do some self-harm!), and I can think of little gestures that would probably be effective for someone more neurotypical (make a schedule! Take up a new hobby!), but I'm struggling to think of anything meaningful that would work for me.

Before I approach the next session empty-handed, I would love to hear other people's opinions. What works for you? How do you take control?

We don’t see many book adaptions in videogames like we do for films, probably for a number of reasons.

But often when I’m reading a book, I find myself thinking, “this is videogame-shaped”, or “I could adapt this”. And we do sometimes see books that strongly influenced developers, such as Disco Elysium being inspired by the City and the City, or Pentiment being inspired by the Name of the Rose.

So if license fees and sales fears weren’t issues, what books would you want to try adapting and how might you go about it?
