Hello everyone! After feeling a bit uneasy and anxious for a lot of today, I think I've come to the conclusion that it would probably be a good idea for me to take a break for the coming week — aside from day job responsibilities, of course. With that in mind, there won't be any videos on my YouTube until the week beginning February 28 — there may be one or two on Rice, depending on how much time I have to put them together, but I'm taking a week off from my own personal projects for the sake of my own wellbeing.
I think something I need to fix in my own head — and this is by no means unique to me — is the feeling of "guilt" that comes with doing exactly what I'm describing above. The fast pace of the Internet is set up to reward those who post "content" (ugh) regularly and frequently, and honestly it's kind of unsustainable, both for creators and for audiences. There is no way everyone can do everything they want to do in a week, and attempting to do so is a sure-fire route to burnout.
So I'm going to sidestep that and avoid being properly burnt out by taking this pre-emptive, preventative measure. Of course, I'll still be writing stuff on Rice Digital, Retrounite and behind the scenes on Evercade stuff in the meantime — it just means I'm taking the pressure off myself for the things I don't "have" to do. Hope you don't mind — I mean, I do have over a thousand videos on my channel now, so hopefully you really don't mind me taking the odd break now and then 🙂
Stop apologising, Pete. You need a break, you take one. That's what you always say to other people when they say they need a break, so just take your own sodding advice, you complete arsetrumpet.
Sorry. You didn't need to see that. But anyway. I'm going to go play something that I just want to play for fun now. And hang the consequences! Bahahahahaha!
