Looking at your art again and it's so so delightful <3 It feels so expressive to me. If I weren't so shy about my own drawing practice, I'd go draw right now, feeling inspired when I look at your work. As always, hope you're well! =)

This is so kind swiftred, thank you , this was a nice little surprise :, ) I personally would love to see your drawings , art is something we should never try to "make good", but i totally understand the anxiety; it's affected my own stamina over the years. I hope you're well too, i mosey over sometimes to read your written words because I enjoy much how you talk about things.. please take care of yourself always

I like Town Square, I feel like a lady is going to tell me that there's bandits in a cave to the north, but no one can stop them due to monsters in the desert listening to it. Beep Box seems like it could be very fun!

Thank you for listening!! and for the lovely description <33 that might be my favorite too. Beepbox is fun! Itโs really approachable too, almost gamified.

your thoughts on idolism's effects on an inferiority complex hit hard. i do the same exact thing. i always think of everyone as infinitely better than me in every way, and on low days, that always leads to trouble. it's been the hardest conceit for me to get rid of.

""Babygirl, you can't be stimming with Instagram Reels"" lmaoooo too real... felt on that blurb, to the point where i even use *discord* strictly via browser even on phone cos that too has been too much for me for a while, and left a few servers and all, and sworn off nitro, for less overwhelm too

"To idolize is to idealize; it is projecting this perfect image onto someone and it doesn't acknowledge their personhood." also fax..... i got long experience being fuckass hogwild for some music artist or another since i was like 12 (now 28), but increasingly theres the motto of "theyre just some guy" cos really they Are (and sometimes it can be a mundanely beautiful thing) ~ just a tangent rlly

@sneekrealm I also think about that saying, "never meet your heroes," for the same reasons. I like your descriptor too, "mundanely beautiful," and I appreciate you commenting! Brightened up my day considerably

More Persona 3 Reload screenshots dumped onto the blog. I love how they turned out.

Hah, I noticed you mentioned the Beginner's Guide on my guestbook the other day. Funny thing, I thought I recognized that title and then I realized I did. Soon after, I read the description on your site and thought, "oh no, I did what Bear said not to do, haha." I watched a playthrough of it a few years ago and was really impressed! Had no one to talk to about it at the time.

Anyway, I doubt it really matters now and I can't take it back ;) but it made me laugh a little. Have a good day, Bear.

Oh no! I didn't mean to make anyone feel bad about watching a playthrough-- I think the first time I encountered The Beginners Guide I watched a silent playthrough on youtube, since I couldn't buy the game. I think it slipped my mind in the website's move to this new version how strong my language seemed when I edited it down. I hope you enjoyed revisiting The Beginner's Guide regardless!

No, youโre good! I didnโt necessarily feel all that bad. It was more funny and also obvious it was directed at someone whoโd never encountered it.

i love this. i've been wanting to dedicate a page to small happenings that aren't long enough for a full blog post, and your webpage is motivating me to make it
@cervidaze: Thank you! I love hearing this, and I hope it's something that ends up working for you ๐
oh this is really nice, i think i'll need something like this on my site
Oh Shit I'm Noticed! also lovely lil iteration :,]
RAH yay, welcome to the club! Your page looks wonderful so far!!
i love this idea! thank you for including me <3 also you'll be okay. we'll all be okay. sometimes it feels like we're all doomed, but by recognising it in ourselves, we can see it in others and reach out.
@transferns; @sneekrealm; @inkcaps: thank you!!! It's much appreciated <3
@badgraph1csghost: I find your reply very valuable, thank you! <3 I've also screencapped it and added it to the page, if you don't mind. I think the reply makes it feel more optimistic and fosters more understanding/rounds out the perspective
this is such a nice thing to do and it'd probably help me with my dissociation issues, if i decide to add this kind of segment into my blog page I'll credit you
