@Totalanimefan:
Oh nice! I've recently decided that streaming sounds fun and when i'm done a stream, i take the vod and chop it up for my shitty little youtube page.
I have fun with the editing but I'd like to do more with it lol.

In terms of hobbies all i really do these days is browse the internet, play viddy game and do art. I also kinda wanna learn to do little animations and what not but again, my focus is little to none so it's hard. i made a scribbly loading bar the other day, but that was as far as i got on my own lol.

@ChiffonOrange:
I make gameplay videos as well, ha ha. It's something I've wanted to do since I was in highschool but I've always been unable to play the games i wanted due to hardware limitations. now that i have a decent set up thanks to generous friends, i've started trying to get into a rhythm.

writing short stories sounds dope! what kind of stuff do you write? and also what kind of old cartoons do you watch?
I'd love to try and get into something to watch, but it's hard for me to get into any series even if i think it's cool.


@Priestess of Pie:
oof, sorry to hear about work, especially these days.

this is tru. it's funny about the written instruction thing because i'm a visual learner. i do need something physical in front of my eyeballs to understand fully, but i like having the written tutorials so i can just scroll thru everything and find the exact bit of information i need. the written stuff is usually organized that way anyway. it feels like a hassle trying to find the one single section you need out of a whole video.

if any of that made sense. >>

@Vixen:
o cool, like what?

@GoblinsAndTea:
yeah, i notice i'm better at focusing if i can keep my hands busy while i'm trying to listen. but aside from focus issues i'm also extremely impatient.
If i know the exact thing i want to get done then i only want info on that one thing, but usually i have to scrub through other information to find that one thing. So i do a lot of grumbling while i skim and fast forward lmao.

but yeah, there are things that i cannot tear away from and then there are things that even if i know they are important, i can't bring myself to do it no matter what. i just suffer with the anxiety and stress of it not being done.

@Lithium:
i could see why that'd work, but also yeah, i feel you on the interest thing.

...is hard when you can't focus on 'em.
i have all the free time in the world, but when i'm trying to hunker down and learn something new, it feels like there's too much goin' on in my head at all times to focus enough on tutorials and shit.

I like editing videos and i can figure out all the basic stuff on my own just fine, but i need to watch or read tutorials to learn how to do the cooler stuff. problem is, i just can't bring myself to sit thru a full video or i can't take in what i'm reading when i'm reading things. it really sucks because I am interested, but my brain is always working against me.

Has anybody tried to pick up any new hobbies lately? what's stopped you from doing it?

Posted in What is your favourite sweet treat? Posted 4 years ago
i often crave soft, moist, cakey things.
they sell individual cake slices at the bakery at the grocery store, but alas, too much sugar will very literally put me in a coma if i am not careful.

Posted in What's everyone's halloween plans? Posted 4 years ago
depending on health and financial situations, I'd really like to attend the haunt i used to work at this year. As a guest i mean. I've meant to do it for the last couple of years but I never found the time to do it, but since I'm not able to work there this year, I have all the time in the world to book a night to go! but again, it all depends.

I love your avatar first of all.

I play with randos and friends. Hits differently with friends though. One minute you're bonding as family over murder, the next, you're the first one on the end of the knife.

lmao, but for real, i have fun. mostly during the discussion portion. when i have to be imposter, that's when the big anxiety hits though.
if i have a partner it isn't as bad, but often i get picked as imposter way too often. i'm terrible at lying and the moment i take someone out, i have to wait for my breathing to go back to normal in the vents, ha.
Posted in Let's talk about the Sims! Posted 4 years ago
I've only played 3 and 4 and honestly, between the two, I like 3 a lot more. I do think the sim customization options are much better in 4 though.

@Keo:
Ha, sometimes it be that way! But you still go a cool design out of it i think. I love them teeth, lol.
I have a clown character I made fairly recently myself! I'm using her as the main character of a story I'm trying my best to stick to.
I always want to write but I can never stay on a project till the end. ; ;

@Amber Lynne:
I used to do lineart all the time, but eventually I just up and quit because I am also a very lazy artist. When I do traditional stuff though, it's when I revel in the inking process lol.

Mood.

@MoodyBats:
That's completely understandable. I'm similar, but most horror related things are ok with me, thankfully.
It's when it reaches a certain subject (usually the "dark side" of religion) that it becomes triggering for me. Lot's of awful intrusive thoughts.
But I know it can be a gamble when looking through horror/Halloween stuff. Hopefully you won't have to come across too much of it!

I wish you luck with it! Are you going to use the official inktober prompt list when it gets posted, or are you gonna use a different one?
I like to use prompt lists that are more spooky related, ha ha.

@MoodyBats:
I enjoy both, ha.
Usually I'd be looking forward to working at the haunt I've been at for the last couple of years but like, not sure if that's even gonna be up and running this year. Lot of tight spaces and big crowds, hard to social distance in that.

On the other hand, a friend of mine is back in the city for Halloween. we've made plans to visit a pumpkin patch and carve pumpkins with her little one. Should be fun, i'm definitely looking forward to it. xD

Also yeah, inktober is definitely fun to do! I always kind of run out of fuel by mid October, but I'm hoping to stick it out the whole month this year.
Glad to hear about the art improvements! I've been trying to do the same lol.

@Amber Lynne:
Yeah, there's pros and cons to both. I also tend to find inking traditionally a lot more relaxing for me.

Yeah, go for it! Lineless stuff is neat. I, personally, can never make it look right though lmao.
