I started playing
Nuzlocke-style Pokemon, which works as follows:
In every route/cave/area, you can only catch one Pokemon, and you only get one shot - the first Pokemon you meet.
If a Pokemon faints, you release it into the wild and consider it dead.
I lasted halfway to Cerulean City before Fractal, my Beedrill, died.
I stared at the screen for like five minutes and realized I just can't do this.
WHY DO I EMOTE WITH VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS?
(As a side note, this is why I rarely go dark side in RPGs; the last time I tried, I felt guilty about what I did to the chaotic good party members for weeks. I still feel bad for Mission...)
