So, I have a knack for venting in video games.

Now, before you start debating on if what I do is sinful or not, hear me out.

Yes, as the title suggests, I vent while I play video games. Whenever I find something in a video game that I feel like be unfair, I rant to myself about how infuriating it is as a way to vent out my anger. Now, to be fair, even though I vent, it is not out of hateful or malicious intent, or at least, I say it isn't. I do it to calm myself down. I still love the games I play and I hold no disdain towards the developers of said games. Plus, I rant whenever I am alone to avoid hurting anyone, and I do calm down afterwards. I don't desire any sort of revenge, because it is just a game. I sort of think I can be angry as long as I don't do anything over the top like break something.

However, I am concerned if said anger is something God does or does not allow. I was told to not be angry without a cause. Does dealing with an unfair challenge in a game count as an allowable cause to be angry or is it just petty?
