Last minute once a week post. ._.

I'm making progress on the next game and storyboarding. I've figured out some coding stuff that was giving me trouble but that's hard to show off in a post.

See you next week everyone!

@HauntedOwlbear OMG HI OWL! It's really nice to hear from you before I wander back into the void.

I actually did a lot of writing but I don't want to spoil my game before it's kinda ready for that.

How are you?

Hey everyone, I'm really really depressed so I don't have much to show.

I just wanted to post anything today so that one week didn't turn into two weeks and then silence.

I'm trying to design a main character form for prototype draft.

Weekly update, I rewrote my games script a little, did some UI coding that isn't fully ready to show off, and did two small comic strips for a small zine I'm making.

I don't have much that's ready to be "shown off" but I still want to keep up weekly updates. See you next week.

@octade I made the jump on two websites to unfollowing people and it seemed to go well.

It took a lot of time to archive my followers list by hand but it turned out to be useful.

I think I'm going to do it here too.

@octade Thank you, it was the right choice in the end and I've gained back a lot of time.

Thank you OCTADE!

@octade Its the information overload that is getting to me.

As a game developer I'm trying to post progress once a week.

What happens is then I end up obsessively reading everyones stuff on my feeds and getting emotionally upset often.

@octade @renkotsuban Thank you, I am planning on waiting 24+ hours and then maybe doing that.

I use cold turkey to block social media during my work time but sometimes when I need to have it open like for releasing a new game/translation I've looked at the damage it's done to me and questioned why I keep these feeds up at all.

@renkotsuban I appreciate that. For weeks now I've been kinda dreaming about like unfollowing and having the feeds stop since they're just too much at once and I can't stop scrolling once I start.

But I'm afraid of just like mass losing all the friendships here since I genuinely like chatting with people sometimes on here.

I think I'm going to wait 24 hours and if there isn't a massive amount of pushback do it.

@HauntedOwlbear Yeah, my issue is that once I start scrolling I have a lot of trouble starting unless I block it with cold turkey.

Mastodon is actually the least bad place but like twitter just breaks my brain being there and sometimes the flow of posts just leave me like crying or angry and it's not really anyones fault.

Hey everyone, how offended would you all be upset if I just mass unfollowed everyone ever on all social media?

I'm just tired of having a constant distracting feed of random thoughts, upsetting things, porn, cool stuff to spend money on, and distracting articles.

Like I really like being mutuals and having online friendships but the feeds just kinda really mess with my mental health in a bad way.

There is some stuff I want to show as progress that doesn't transfer well to being shown as progress.

I am slowly creeping towards being more regular with updates and working more consistently.

I will see you all next week.

@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

@HauntedOwlbear hi! how are you?

Update: Didn't really get much done this week but I'm posting anyways to just be like hi.

@HauntedOwlbear Thank you for doing alt text for this.

See you all hopefully next weekish.

Once a week progress.

Slow week. Next week there will be a delay before I post new art so expect it in a weekish instead.

My main goal is to be consistent and not stop.

(Sorry, no alt text. I just don't have the energy for putting in a lot of descriptions for WIPs.)

@HauntedOwlbear I am back for another week.

I hope you've been okay.

@HauntedOwlbear I am going to kinda stop myself from blabbing too much since writers tend to do that and then they say stuff they don't even end up writing.

If I can keep my life together I'll be back next week and I'll let that "aaaaa I want to talk about it" power me until then.

See you!
