…quite the pep talk you had in mind, but I hope it gives you an additional perspective to considered. Disclaimer: I am beyond terrible at walking away, because I often find it‘s easy to break stuff, but much harder to pick up the pieces. Sorry for the wall of text & Godspeed going forward! 😃👍

…be time to push for change — and that might mean walking away. In any case, I think your way forward includes asking yourself some pointed questions, such as: What can/do I want to do for the thing? What can/does the thing to for me? And can those things align? I realise this is probably not…

wouldn‘t find anywhere else? A chance to grow as a person, to do stuff that empowers you? If yes, I‘d probably stick with it, and there‘s no shame in wanting to use it as your vehicle for growth/doing cool things/having fun — as long as you acknowledge that other people will have the same, or…

Okay, I‘ll bite. I know absolutely nothing about the sport, mind you, so take this with a grain of salt. I do know a few things about nonprofit work/Volontär commitment, though. A couple of thoughts:
1.) Is this about proving a point or about growing a thing long term? Your personal perspective…

It seems even weirder when the actual game didn‘t use any CGI renders whatsoever, and that was such a huge part of its visual identity 🤷♂️

Loved the fourth one for how deliberate & confident it felt in its storytelling and visual design — the only thing I didn‘t enjoy were the primitive 3D models for some of the larger creatures — they seemed like such a letdown, compared to the gorgeous pixel art.

Ich finde den Mann auch ganz furchtbar, aber wir müssen echt mal von diesen durch Social Media kanalisierten Erregungsspiralen runter. Weil sonst alles immer ein Skandal ist — und dann ist nichts mehr ein Skandal 🤷♂️

I think the Junebug concert takes the cake for me. I also really liked the „Concert-cum-Bossfight“ in Agnea‘s story in Octopath Traveler 2, though, as well as Celes‘ opera scene in FFVI that obviously inspired it. Oh, and there‘s a band of goblins following you around in Bard‘s Tale (PS2), and…
