A list of CoHost things I wish I had gotten around to:
- Put in the work to finish the "secret" project that I was working on. I had really stopped answering lore questions specifically because they were going to feed into this, and so I stalled things out on a fun activity in two ways. Ultimately I didn't follow through out of fear, and now it's just not going to be possible. I think CoHost was the only place where anyone might've actually cared about it, and I'm not sure it would translate to another platform.
- Granted more wishes. I really ought to have found a way to bring back "Twisted Wish Thursday", because it would have really worked well on this platform. Basically just taking wishes from people and having a great time giving them exactly what they don't want (which, when they're in on it, is fun for everyone!) Even though I can't really put in that kind of effort mid-day anymore, I might've found a way to make it work. I dunno.
- Done more social stuff with people here. Particularly social VR in some capacity. My own hangups were the impediment here, I confess. But I was on the verge of a workaround with a stand-alone VR machine. But regardless, it feels like the folks around here are *awesome* and cool, and in VR finding awesome and cool people to hang with was always 90% of the struggle.
- Held the First Annual CoHost Community Cup. What a pipedream this was/is - but I still wish I'd tried. A part of me really wanted to foster an offshoot of people interested in Windjammers 2 here on CoHost, and then broadcast a tournament for even non-players to enjoy. The game is just full of awesome moments that make for a great spectator event. I've been in convention hotel rooms where everyone's hooting and hollering over casual games, just watching. It would've been fun to bring that here. Alas, this would've been a serious investment of time and effort, likely involving running a Discord server, and streaming. Things kind of beyond me.
- Streaming. Yeah, I kind of wish I had tried streaming at least a few times, too. It would've been pretty likely to fail, but CoHost is a platform where people might've, possibly, actually cared to watch. Even if just a little. With it gone, zero chance.
- Figured out my "villain/monster stuff". It's a weird topic for me, but this is a special platform where I feel like it might've been possible to sort it out. The idea of taking solidarity from the exile imposed on you is a strong one, and I've always wanted at least a silver of that for myself (admittedly selfishly). Now it just feels like anything I try to do there will just be howling into the void. (As much as I wish I had worked through this stuff, maybe it's good that I'll be in a position where it just... fades. I don't know.)
- Been better to you all. You're lovely. And I've just so loved what you've shared. Thank you.
