Reframe a Disappointing Game Session into What Made It Worthwhile
You lost, you played badly, and you are sat wondering why you bother. This separates the outcome from the experience and pulls out the moments during play that were actually worth it, so a frustrating session does not poison the hobby. For gamers stewing after a bad night who want to walk away with something other than the scoreline.
