I ran a tabletop game in my group's homebrew system once.
It took place in modern society, and they were hired by this weird corporation to go find religious artifacts.
All the people in the company had names like Michael and Gabriel and Uriel, and the players had to find these artifacts "because they were valuable" lol and certainly not because they had mystical powers to summon demons or whatever.
Except the plot twist was that guess what, the company is actually run by demons bwahahahaha surprise!
Also there was an NPC who was a vampire from New Orleans, which was basically a copy of a character I had played a long time before in a different group. Also he was super powerful and all the PCs basically failed all checks to detect him sneaking up on them and stuff like that.
I mean save the last thing that sounds better than I would expect from a teenager.
Well it didn't help that I'm legitimately terrible at running tabletop games.
Ginger tea is great if you like ginger. Some people don't though.
Peppermint, kava kava, chamomile, all good for relaxing. By relaxing, you may be able to focus on things other than melancholy. At least for a bit.

my bro GM'ed this homebrew game a couple of times - first with a hack of Heroes Unlimited, later with one of d20 Modern - where we were, like, reservoir dogs type dudes pulling heists for the mafia
it was basically an excuse to be really stupid and mission accomplished
one time I was trying to make a getaway from a bank and he rolled on this little random encounter table he'd made and he announced that a kid in a wheelchair was in my path. so I made a strength check (or something) to move the kid and rolled a critical hit, so he narrated me shoving the kid so hard that he and his wheelchair went through a plate glass window out into the street and got hit by a car
another buddy and i kept derailing sessions by announcing that we were going to try to knock over a convenience store. the convenience store clerks always had like 200 HP and an M-16 and we would end up in jail (we had some kind of magic healing potion don't ask me this was like twenty years ago)
on another occasion we were making a successful getaway from a bank and one character dared another character - the driver - to play russian roulette and the player was like YEAH SURE so we rolled a d6 to see what chamber the bullet was in and then he rolled one and then as his character's head evaporated he crashed the car and killed another dude's guy and almost mine
I wish I had a coherent political framework to say one should gather around to fight the darkness, but alas.
Drink tea.

This one time in college I tried to make brownies in my illicit microwave and they made a bunch of smoke and it went out into the hall and set off the alarms so everyone had to evacuate the building in their sleep clothes at like 11 at night in January.

I feel like if I tried to do tabletop RPGs my characters would probably be embarrassing not because I make ridiculous mary sues but because personality wise they'd probably end up being pretty much FPS protagonists

Maybe he's waiting for the fallout to spread a bit further so he has a bit more material than "holy shit"

Oliver isn't doing them any more. It'll be Zaltzman and a guest, and I think they said they would be starting later in the year.

I didn't know when that was gonna happen. It would've been nice to have an emergency episode, of sorts.

I never played Crossy Road, but I can tell you that I dig Pac-Man 256. It feels like Pac-Man to me. Gobble dots, avoid ghosts.
This reminds me. Going from ME2/3 on 360 to on pc was hard for me. Had paragon left renegade right burned into my brain.
The emergency keys did not work for the fire department and the property manager's 24-hour emergency contacts could not be contacted.
