Games used to be stressful for me in the past because I was into MMO and MP games a decade or so ago.
Waiting on people, being held back by people, or hindered by people left a sour taste after playing sessions.
Thankfully I quit MMO/MP games 10 years ago and only play SP/non-online games.
After daily grinding from life, playing a game, even for an hour a day is soothing to the soul and mind.
Edit: My most recent MP play session was with some guys at work last year - invited me to play The Forest (where we wasted so much time getting lost, idling figuring out what to do as a group) - reminded me why I quit playing MP - ever since I havent played with them lol.
I felt like I was held back and it felt like a waste of a perfectly good weekend I could used for something productive or actually progress with some of my other SP games.
