    The reverse is true. If you train your brain to give in to the urges, you’re more likely to do so IRL too.

      I would say that depends:

      • I can blast opponents to bits in a fast paced shooter without becoming a homocidal maniac

      • I would probably be affected negatively by being cruel as a habit in a story driven game environment

      Yeah, but why would you do that?

      The point of getting to know, to understand and accept your shadow urges is so you have a choice in them, not to give in to them.
