INFP Malaise: First Foreword
This is a video commentary about tabletop role-playing games now being recognized for their usefulness as therapeutic tools by psychologists. The takeaway is leading somewhere, eventually. I’ve described this foreword as circumspect, which it is, but it’s also circumlocution.

The book that I describe and quote from is an obscure small press storytelling game. I’ve never actually played it, it’s more like a little work of art than a game. It is not from the 1980s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaris_(2005_role-playing_game)
Lastly if anyone is concerned, I am fine and everything is ok. An existential crisis is an indulgence saved for a time when there are no bigger problems to contend with.
