I think, going forward, that the best way for me to use this place is to post a lot of longform thoughts, sorta like a journal. Would help me clear my head, and seems to be the words on the room I've read here. It's not inherently a bad idea, if I can temper my more whiny thoughts and think logically about my feelings, but I think ultimately it'll be healthier for me, plus I could present myself in this New Space™ more honestly and authentically, something social media has kinda discouraged for like... a decade and some change?

Anyway, I stream tomorrow, trying to finish a game before taking a proper hiatus. During the downtime. I'm very nervous, since the last time I tried, I had a breakdown over numbers because of connection issues/power failure. I just want this one to go Decently™ so I can go on break with a clear conscience. Then, I can write about my stream insecurities properly without FFV weighing on my mind!

i'm thinking about using cohost like this as well! <3
might still be too shy for personal life stuff, but geez it's ridiculous how nervous i've been to just like....talk about video games online, lol
so i've been enjoying doing that again!
i hope the hiatus will be a good rest! <3 (how are you enjoying FFV, btw? i'm pretty nostalgic for that one lol)

I can relate! Coming from Twitter, where every mild opinion became a "nuclear take", it's been tough to open up for awhile. But I've held a steadfast stance through my stream of "opinions are okay" so I guess that kinda helped?
Also, I love FFV! It's in my top 3 Final Fantasies. I've probably played it like a hundred times by now, since challenge runs make it nigh infinitely replayable, and this year's Fiesta was kiiiind of free, but it's always a good time!

omg yea i was very strictly art posts on twitter 😅 so stressful!!
would definitely love to see a return to opinion-having
like people forget that some of the strongest friendships out there will be between people with wildly different takes on things

and awesome!! <3 i feel like V never gets enough appreciation

God... yeah, I can't imagine being art post on Twitter in this day and age D: That's like a minefield made out of just mines. I encourage opinions that differ from mine on my stream, as long as it's done respectfully. It's something I've had to very carefully train myself into doing, because social media has encouraged the exact opposite for rage engagement, but it's a healthier mindset to just discuss things without getting the battle armor and the torch/pitchfork combo.

My top three are:
FFVI
FFV
FFIII (Pixel Remaster specifically)

But I love Final Fantasy as a whole, so I can find something positive (and critical) to say about ANY Final Fantasy :D
