New pinned post, featuring some of my OCs. Been going in a slightly different direction overall, so I thought it was about time for a new one
Another thing I'm also realizing is how much I've been over-relying on video games for insp you can get elsewhere, often in a more grounded and meaningful way
At one point I was like "I NEED Dragon Quest, Zelda, Spyro (don't get me wrong, I'll still play these sometimes) to provide the continuous-

Now that I'm mostly quitting games aside from *occasionally* revisiting important personal favorites, I'm noticing just how oversaturated my feed is with game talk
Instant scroll-past, I have never been more over a subculture in my entire life, my interest in hearing about it is below zero

Random demon fella. Was gonna clean up the sketch more, but couldn't recapture how much I like his expression here, so I kept it as-is. Also a sketch of Merla I thought was funny

My new account schtick isn't "VIDEO GAMES ARE EVIL!!!!!"
But I am just- so refreshed realizing the benefits of distancing myself from it as a regular hobby, and that ngl a lot of other people would probably benefit from it too

I've never really thought about it before, but probably my most unpleasant interactions on the internet were all video game-related
The angriest comments I've ever gotten were from me saying anything unflattering about a game, even if sandwiched between stuff I did like. That should not be normal

One thing I seriously wish is that more games had solid comic series of them (or even just ok ones, anything really)
I like Sonic and I unironically think the comics are a more interesting use of the characters. And the Sly Cooper promo comics are so good they really could've spawned a series

One extra thing I just thought to say about games, which I was aware of before I ever even thought of soft quitting
Whenever I'm playing games, NO other hobbies happen. Comics aren't getting read, drawings aren't getting drawn, shows aren't getting watched...

If video games were just "a thing to play", I probably would've (mostly) given up on them way earlier
The thing that prolonged my interest in them for so long was likely the art attached to them. Video games really do have the best character designs and fantasy worlds, no contest

This is random, but I recently did an experiment of straight up not playing games for a while (two-ish weeks). For a number of reasons, but mainly to see how being completely off them affects my brain
...I feel.. so much happier. Kinda shocked at how much more mental energy I have on a daily basis

Repost-specific issues aside, I kinda wish I didn't even have to look at the tl. But yet again, it's kind of a fairness thing for me
A lot of mutuals interact with even my pointless text posts shortly after they're posted. So, it'd feel weird not staying up to date with them too

Honestly part of why I never turned off others' reposts on the tl was sort of a fairness thing. Cuz obv I hope my own reposts get seen
But I already comb through people's accounts sometimes to see if they reposted anything cool I missed, so I guess it plays out about the same

I've had reposts on (still not being able to customize that per user here is mind-boggling), but realized I barely interact with most people's reposts anyway. So, I'm turning them off
If you see me like your reposts now it's cuz I think your tastes are epic enough to check your acc for them *blush*

I know Ken Penders is a topic that's been talked about to death by this point, there's nothing novel left to say
But he REALLY liked making cartoon animals make out, huh. I forgot how much of that there was

I also wanna kick myself so cartoonishly hard for not buying more Archie Sonic when I could. I became a Sonic fan at JUST the right time for it as a kid, then fell off soon after
Now that I'm coming back to it from a specifically comics-centric angle, I feel so dumb for missing out on getting more

One thing I really, really wanna get sometime is the Sly Cooper promotional manga, but I've literally never even seen a copy online, let alone an absurdly expensive one
It's funny seeing the characters in this style, and I kinda love it
