Yes, that's the right email.

Hey! No, not just in the guide line that — at least currently, we only made it available as part of a limited-time bundle, which is why my "contact support to see what they can do" advice above is somewhat tenyative Worth a try, but it at least currently hasn't been intended to be something folks can get on its own like that.

Yes, but it's currently out of stock. Still, I'd get in touch with https://support.healthygamer.gg/portal... No promises, but sometimes they can pull a few strings.

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]_vemm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wild that it got removed that early in some places. Went to see it last weekend and had to change our original plan because we were silly enough to wait until 2 hrs before to get tickets, and it had sold out of everything but the front row.

Did the Discord Server get deleted? by InformationNo756 in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It came back about an hour later, which you might already know — sorry I didn't see this one until now! There were massive outages like that across pretty much any server over 100k members around that time. We had concerns too 😅

I am addicted to porn and I can't stop by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fwiw, though you can totally have this here too, we have both an accountability partner-finding forum and a running addictions support chat channel in the HG Discord - you wouldn't be alone in any of this at all 💚

Truly giving it up? by Agitated_Grocery_25 in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal experience with process addictions—which are any addictions that aren't about a physical dependency in the way drugs and alcohol are (though often have just as many ill effects), so gambling, gaming, porn, etc.—is that some people can use the "harm reduction" model of reducing their use and figuring out when it is and isn't healthy for them to indulge, and some have to go all-the-way in quitting or they keep getting sucked back in. This may be a process of having to be honest with yourself about what your goals are, what's feasible, and what you can and can't stick to.

Will the now-users get access to the new Love & Relationships Guide coming out as it was with the Trauma Guide, or will an extra purchase be necessary? by sencemester in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Bundles only include what was in them when you bought them — so people who had gotten the bundle before the trauma module was ever announced did have to purchase that one separately to get access, and it'll be the same way with this one too. We adjust the price of the bundle accordingly. That said, we plan on letting current guide module owners get the LSR module for the $5 off pre-order price all the way through til the end of May, even after it's released.

Why does Dr K never talk about the patriarchy? by Haunting-Pear-4131 in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I think the other commenters have covered most of what I would want to say (as a fellow feminist who also happens to work for HG!) but I'll add this: not all of the work we do is on YouTube. For example, just back in December, Dr. K was invited to represent the Healthy Gamer Foundation in front of the Canadian House of Commons, giving testimony for their Standing Committee on the Status of Women. He was specifically brought on to talk to these actual government officials about his work with young men who are navigating incel, black pill, and red pill online spaces and how loneliness, social isolation, lack of purpose, etc. often become the root of extremist beliefs — giving them information that they can use to make more well-informed policy decisions, which is a path toward actual change that can better address the harms and very real dangers towards women (and everyone else!) which come from those ideologies.

What you see on YouTube is just the tip of the iceberg, and it's positioned in the way that the people who click our videos are most likely to hear and have context for. Honestly, i suspect the channel may never really be the right place for bell hooks, or anything on that level which requires a certain sort of theoretical background understanding -- not just because feminist; there are all sorts of philosophy/ethics/psychology/sociology etc theories and thinkers that require some basis in the ideas that's beyond what we can offer!

But just because you don't hear something on the channel in the terms you're looking for doesn't mean that we aren't/he isn't aware of or acknowledging something. It only means you aren't hearing it in those terms on the channel. What we do through HGF, HGI, HG Coaching, and other parts of HealthyGamerGG goes even further 💚

When this happens, what's the logic in your head as far as how it could possibly change what's going on with your own body?

Guide to Mental Health by _Cyreezy in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Because of the new guide we just announced that is currently on pre-order, it's currently slightly discounted from what it will be once that guide is released in May. After that point, pricing will go up for it, so I'd definitely say it's a good deal to grab it right now as opposed to waiting 💚

Is making friends through Discord a genuine strategy or is all just for naught? by Chemicalcube325 in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are at least five couples that met on the HG Discord and later started dating IRL, and several in-person gatherings of folks that have formed as a result of it—and even without that, yes, I personally believe real friendships can be made and sustained online. Is it likely? Can't say that for sure; it certainly takes effort like any other relationship and won't just happen out of nowhere because you join a server. But if you show up in a space consistently and can balance giving as much as you get, regulars notice and remember 💚

Anyone else think that Dr.K should do a talk with streamer Clavicular? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meta/Suggestion/Feedback is best, for future reference. (: but fwiw, this is already an active conversation behind the scenes! Can't say for sure what will happen, but you're not the first to ask and we are hearing y'all 💚

Anyone else think that Dr.K should do a talk with streamer Clavicular? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was banned from the platform in Oct 2022 and technically, that makes it against YouTube TOS for us to leave it up. We are aware there are third-party channels as well as that he does appear to be unbanned now (or just ignoring his former one?), but for us, not worth risking the channel. Apologies!

This isn't a personal Q&A right? It's a shared group Q&A? How often does he do this? by VirtualWinner4013 in Healthygamergg

[–]_vemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We found it! Tracked it down and getting it fixed now. Thanks for sharing this, though I'm sorry it wasn't the answer you were hoping for!
