Happy Wednesday, Streamers!

Before we get started, I feel the need to address the enormous elephant in the room. This is by no means a political newsletter, but it feels disingenuous to simply ignore what happened.

I did not have “assassination attempt of former president Donald Trump” on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are. Another day. Another major event.

Are y’all as tired as I am of living through major events like this? I feel like at this point all I can do is try to laugh. I’m no fan of the guy, but I didn’t expect to witness anything like what happened.

Often times, I use these introductions to just talk about what is on my mind or give you a personal update about my life.

Today, I’m thinking about those who are feeling overwhelmed or intense anxiety about what happened. Even if you actively avoid the daily news, chances are you saw discussions about the assassination attempt on Twitch, YouTube, Discord or Twitter. It can be difficult to cope when your “safe space” is overrun with politically charged discourse. Maybe you even butted heads with friends on the opposite side of the political divide. If that sounds like you, make sure you take time to look after your mental health.

And don’t forget to check in on your streamer friends. Gaming is great escapism, but it doesn’t replace seeking proper help when you are in distress.

Stay safe out there,

Dim
