Alright, that was a better way to go into a hiatus. I did better about not looking at numbers, but I caught myself looking down at my Other Phone now and then, so I haven't broken the habit just yet. I did better at staying on topic and keeping conversation flowing, even if it was heavy social media stuff. I try not to lean into topical conversations on stream, wanting to provide a haven from those things, because in my mind, "everyone deals with it every second of every day, people need a break and I wanna provide it." But no one seemed to mind. It was a good talk, just heavy talk on stream makes me nervous, because the last thing I want is for chat to dissolve into Discourse™
I'm ultimately glad I did this today, too. It lasted the usual length of my evening streams, which was just about perfect. If I'd done it tomorrow, early as I can start, I would've awkwardly finished early in the afternoon, and like "Now What Do I Do?" sets in. Now, I have all day Sunday to play FFXVI, and I will be able to put a nice dent into it.
Meanwhile, my review for this Fiesta will come about in a few days. Stream Archive will be up to date soon as well. I'm feeling ultimately better, now I can take some time to plan out a comeback proper from this little downturn. I just -pray- that the momentum I built up back in March doesn't die fully, like it's been for the last couple weeks >~<
