If I want to eat burgers and he wants pizza, we should compromise or take turns. I'm frustrated. I got myself into this mess. I need to get out of it.

You don't HAVE to play final fantasy if you don't want to.
You should be allowed to eat whatever you want.
I've grown up watching my parents argue and fight daily but they're still together. Change is hard. But you honestly deserve to be treated so much better than this. I'm sure you have had good moments, but why settle for this? As an outsider looking in it doesn't seem healthy and in this moment doesn't include other things you've mentioned like his anger and throwing food all over the floor . One day you will thank yourself for having the courage to leave.
In the UK we have charities like women's aid that do offer free support. But just be careful sadly some women are killed leaving their abusive partners. I'm glad your father lives with you.
Maybe also see a lawyer too for advice about the house.
