I was a broken person for part of my late teens and early twenties. Associated with the wrong people, got arrested once, then fell into alcoholism to self medicate my pain that stemmed from how much I hated myself.

Growing up, one of my parents subjected me to regular physical and emotional abuse while the other parent taught me to accept this bad behavior as normal.

I eventually entered into a codependent dysfunctional relationship that while toxic in so many ways also gave me the confidence I needed to end my substance abuse.

There are plenty of broken people. That doesn’t mean they can’t be repaired.

If you do follow up with a new article you should cover why the Dreamcast failed in more detail. As I recall it failed for a variety of reasons but the one that stands out was it's high price but lack of DVD playback while the PS2 and XBOX were priced competitively but had that.

I had a dreamcast when they launched. Sega Bass Fishing, House of the Dead 2, Sonic, and Crazy Taxi were awesome.
