As kind as that is. I think you are already doing enough. Xbox is a luxury item and a step too far. If he didn't own a TV I'd understand picking one up for him. You can invite him out for a walk in the countryside or lunch etc
If he is a software developer, he will have a computer and mentally find more reward by completing free online certification like EdX. Playing games would more likely increase anxiety as it can be used to waste time.

Yes but the apartment is furnished anyway and the XB1X would go along with that, so technically I would own it.
I can't really invite him out for a walk though he's on crutches so it'd be slightly awkward haha.
Do you have one, XB1X? What is EdX pls can you link me and I will see if he's already certified.
Thanks
Software development is creative like painting in many ways. You can start with nothing but a blank sheet and an idea and create something rewarding. That's before you get in to open source projects on GitHub that are always on lookout for help. The Xbox is probably the worst thing you could buy for him.

Yeah it sounds like a good idea that, he can create something and then build upon it.
He loves video games though he's always on that GTA 5 on his 360 so I thought he'd enjoy an upgrade to XB1X.
Maybe you are right and him playing games is making things worse because obviously worlds like GTA 5 aren't real and maybe the lifestyle characters live in that game make him think his situation is much worse...

To take a step back you are working to pay rent for a guy to sit at home and play GTA(videos games).

There are various reasons for it though, I know what it sounds like from an outside perspective but trust me...
This is beyond concerning now, what an absolute weapon you really are,,,
Looks like I can't get one anyway, even if I wanted to haha:

Thanks but I think Admin1 is right and it may be a hindrance to get him an XB1X
Why’s a broken leg stopping him from being a software developer?

Job loss, as well as other issues that have affected him personally and his mental health.

You can invite him out for a walk in the countryside
----------------------------------------------
Great advice Admin1. Invite someone who's broken their leg out for a walk in the countryside
You're paying his rent and buying him an Xbox because he's having a hard time. Do you want to be friends?
I can't say too much JYAFan because it's private issues but there are reasons why I am doing it.
I don't need to know this issues, but I'd myself like a mate who would pay my rent for me if I was going through a hard time!
