i think whether this behavior is unhealty or not would depend on severity of this “love”/obession.
it’s pretty clear reading this thread that different folk have different ideas about what or how downvotes should be used. what is intented behavior for one is wrong for another. i doubt that even clearly defined rules would change that as they woud be essentually the same thing - someone’s opinion on how it should work. plus different instances have different rules.
Pretty sure “turn off desktop effects” is an actual option in lutris.
