Review safely squirrelled away; the embargo is up tomorrow, so with any luck it will actually go live tomorrow. It's not a "big" game as such, but I'm not sure offhand what other major releases are around right now, so it might actually go live on time for once.
I mentioned this recently, but I definitely think it's time to take a Twitter break for a bit again. While, as I mentioned, the weekend of HololiveEN's launch was thoroughly lovely, the last few days have been a torrent of negativity and whataboutery and all manner of other stuff I really don't have the patience or indeed the mental wellbeing to deal with at the moment. And, thinking about it, most of the positivity surrounding Hololive was actually on YouTube rather than Twitter — although seeing people sharing fanart on Twitter has been nice; I picked up some nice Amelia pics for today's post.
I'm not going to make a big deal about not being around, and indeed there will still be posts going up on the MoeGamer account — the daily promotional posts will continue and I'm going to be better about remembering to "Buffer" a random selection of posts to show up throughout the day, as those always get a nice number of eyes on them, but I've deleted the Twitter app from my phone and am going to make a distinct effort to avoid using it on the computer. It's just not being good for me right now.
Different people have different experiences with the platform, I know, but I've tried numerous strategies to escape the sides of it that I don't like — including both the "drown it out with art" approach that a lot of people advocate, along with mass unfollowing sprees — and it's still a source of considerable anxiety for me. It's silly to keep doing that to myself, so for now at least, balls to it; there are plenty of other means of getting in touch with me.
A few people I know say the Instagram community is nice, but I never really know what to post on there, since it has no link handling and its obvious emphasis on images or short videos. Plus the seeming necessity to load up every post with a zillion hashtags for any chance of getting seen just seems enormously tiresome, particularly on mobile.
I suspect I'm just not built for today's Internet. We had a good run, but these days I just want to get on with writing my words and making my videos; arguing with strangers or seeing the stupidest of stupid takes thrust into my face is not (and never has been) a desirable part of my life.
Anyway! Hope you're doing well. Have a pleasant evening, and look out for my review on Nintendo Life tomorrow… hopefully! 🙂
