     @taylormccue Not too bad - I was away for a bit and exorcised some stuff with a friend, and now we're feeling creative about our game project, so that's good.

     It's nice to see you come around here, even when you don't have anything immediate to show off.

     @taylormccue
     Honestly, I'm very European, and I get that "have to be doing something productive to justify my presence" urge, too.

     Which is particularly weird in the context of artistic, craft, and creative work, where ambient inspiration is easily half the task.

     That protestant work ethic / capitalist survival needs thing has a body count, but also does its best to keep people from stopping to breathe and think.

     @HauntedOwlbear That's awesome!

     Also yeah it's nice to be here. I sometimes forget I don't have to justify my existence to just be social online.

     Getting over the American forced labor mindset guilt thing is weird. x_x
