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 >~<



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!
