Nope. I don't have any bottled up aggression or anger that needs venting... I play video games because it is fun, not as a form of therapy.

I agree most news nowadays focusses on negativity, but some is necessary to learn about deficiecies that we could improve (climate, poverty, starvation, war etc). So watching news with an aware mind to understand the facts and mechanisms is valuable for me.

I don't need to watch the news to be aware of anything. In fact, tuning out the news helped me become
more aware of things that really matter. Less noise means a better signal.

But in your movies or videogames you give up awareness consciously for the sake of the emotional ride. |
I don't think so. Taking those emotional rides does not diminish my awareness - quite the opposite.
