Yeah, I could. It's a legit route. I just know my anxiety is bad enough that I would never group if I didn't need to. So it's kind of a, "I want to fight the problem, but trusts keep me from confronting it entirely due to their pacing and removal from the community." I don't want to hide forever...!

Tons of them do! Sadly, instances like now where most are at AC, I am solo for the most part, minus an EU friend who is sleeping. I can never make that jump to playing with others, though, and always seem to need that lifeline. :/ It feels... Bad. Like I'm using them for my own gain.

Oh man, I want that luck, aha. I get the ones who know things like the back of their hand a lot, and dissect me for using Swiftcast wrong or not going to "your spot" for placing mechanics in dungeons.

ah shoot i was just typing a second post about trusts, ahaaaa. I like teaming with others. :< It's just I also don't want to disappoint them... And then I also just... never stop using them if I start because I never have to face the anxiety.

"Use Trusts!" I COULD, but half the appeal of MMOs is teaming up with people. And yet its those exact people I don't want to disappoint, and I get anxious, avoid classes I want to play (tanks), etc.. BLUH.

Every time I start up FFXIV after a break, I get more anxious, and I dunno how to get past it. :( I have Dawntrail, but I'm too paralyzed to start it, knowing I've forgotten rotations, mechanics in roulettes, job changes, expectations to already know the content... Bluh. I don't like this feeling.

Part of me wonders if the marketing didn't help. I don't know if it was marketed as "prepare to die" in the other regions at first, like in Japan? Given how explosive Dark Souls 1 was, I wonder how much that tagline set expectations as well for future takes on the style.

An icon/portrait for @jaredinsnow.bsky.social ! Jaredin's scanning and seems to have something in his sights. Here's hoping it's for locating a friend, and not an enemy to destroy...!

In my backlog, I finished Forspoken. Lot I could say that won't fit here but I don't think that game deserves the flak. It fumbles it's end sequence, and it's optimization is poor. But man. It's still a solid game. Combat and parkour highlights. Interesting world. Frey is cool.

A painting for FuramiT and Soulhunter-Amras of FA. A quiet, secluded location. The soft sound of rain. The warmth of the fire. And a large dragon embracing and watching over you? The best sleep one could ask for.

Maybe. That and just my work mode. I don't know how to balance between personal and commission or "job" work so I just go 100% on commission queue. Which probably isn't healthy for not burning out or for my lack of drive with art outside of work hours lately.

The new psychologist did say that after an hour and a half of talking that I "sound like you feel the need operate in a mode of constant anxiety, even if you're in a low, and have been for years". Which... checks out, I guess, maybe, for this feeling...?

I got prescribed a new med to go along with my anti-depressant and man, I dunno if this is a side effect alongside being dizzy at first, but that "burnt out" feeling is CRAZY strong now that I'm on it. Like coming down off of adrenaline, or throwing a blanket over fire. :S

I really wish I could be one of those types that just disappears, then comes back what feels like once a week, if not almost every day, with something new for people to enjoy. I would really, really enjoy that, I feel like--just making nice things for nice people.

Not looking for pity, just needing to scream into the void: I'm very demoralized daily by how slow I am for how muddy my work feels. I'm sorry I'm not quicker. I'm trying my best. I don't know what my problems are, and yet I'm trying to beat them. Thank you for being so patient with me, ya'll.

A sketch for DexaLunae of Twitter! Celebrating the end of Macro March by re-arranging a few planets to look a little nicer.

(yes im very late to posting this, aha. Also, yes, I went a little overboard for a sketch but it felt right for March and the theme...!)

True. I think because my streams tend to be very small or infrequent already, I am just nervous of diluting them with games if people prefer the art! I might be overthinking, of course, because anxiety or something, but I do worry about trying to provide something people want a lot...!

In the past 17 years, I've been gifted Humble keys, indies, bought games when I've been depressed because sales dopamine, 50 cent "mystery keys", etc. My backlog is... large. I'm ashamed of it. If you watch my streams, would you be interested in "backlog busting" streams? Or is art the main draw?
