1) What is it about the toribash community that you enjoy?
whats kept me on the game for so long is just that i enjoy playing the game and interacting with new/er players as well as the friends ive made along the way :3
2) Do you believe that the persona you associate with your toribash account to be separate from your identity in the physical world that we occupy?
definitely, i live a completely different life irl that i dont share on toribash (there are maybe 3 people who know what i do irl)

3) Does this website and community have something that other online communities doesn't have? If yes, elaborate
toribash is a much more interactive and tight-knit community compared 2 the online communities ive taken part in before

4) Do you believe you suffer from any kind of mental health problems?
i do suffer from a few debilitating mental health problems but im in treatment and my medication helps me to act "normally" and function in life. thx to my team of doctors and medication ive been able to lead a very fulfilling life despite my internal struggles

5) Have you ever used drugs? if yes, how has this impacted your perception of reality and how you experience "toribash"
i have a long history of drug usage, its exacerbated my mental health problems but i am currently in a long term rehabilitation programme and am dedicated to staying sober <3

6) How often is your forum usage compared with time spent in game?
i have many more hours on the game than on the forum but i still enjoy scrolling through the subforums and finding threads like this one ^_^

7) Do you perceive the way you use toribash (both as a videogame and as an online forum) to be conductive to good mental health and living your best life?
i wouldnt say that toribash has any real effect on my mental health but its one of my favorite games ever and i find it to be a good way to pass the time in a way that still boosts my brain function due to how many micro calculations that go into playing well. im not saying im a great player, but the amount of time ive spent on the game has allowed me to use it almost as a way to get some frustration out. not as much as i get from going to the gym or making music but enough to make me feel a lil better about myself in a way that isnt feeding my ego :P
