I just with I felt compelled to do something. Anything. Something that feels like it matters and benefits people.

I've kept an eye on other games that have released recently; Bananza, Legends ZA, Age of Imprisonment. Just nothing has stuck with me, so I've just watched them for a couple months and lost interest with nothing to really contribute.

I do think archival is important, but it feels to great of a task to do on my own, or even lead for that matter. I just feel kind of stuck knowing that I can't contribute to the game in that ways I used to and not being able to figure out what's next for me

I feel the best contribution of my time based on my past experience is to try to make proper guides and resource for all the glitches. But parsing through every glitch is a monumental task in itself. And I can't help but question "who am I doing this for?"

At 9 years old, botw is a mature speedgame, and it's hard to contribute in the ways I once did. Glitch hunting has moved beyond simple experimentation. Routing has had years and years of development. The community has gotten smaller. I knew it would happen eventually, but it's hard to find my place

I think even during those times, I questioned how much time and attention I was giving the game, and wondered if it might impact my future in negative ways. But I don't think I've ever regretted being part of a community and in the ways I contributed.

It felt a little silly because wall jumping had been discovered for a whole year, but finally putting the pieces together and having it result in something meaningful was such a good feeling.

I think a rather trivial addition, but one that really sticks with me, was when I proposed cryo wall jump. It was just a small timesave, but I only knew it was a possibility because I saw a clip of a japanese player when they found wall jump.

I always saw myself as a kind of "glue" for bringing new ideas to routes for the community. I loved having vast knowledge of glitches and strategies and being able to bring new ideas to the table.

The earlyish days of botw (1.5-3 years after release) were so wonderful to witness. The sometimes slow, sometimes explosive discovery and implementation of glitches. There was such a strong sense of community seeing everything being built and developed at such a rapid pace

Feel like this could be a rather long thread, but I've been reflecting on my experience with botw and how its related to what I'm going through now

Feel like even just taking the time to type this is more constructive than just letting myself scroll and lay around in bed

happy birthday!!! ✨✨✨

Having a rough one this week. I wish I knew who I was

I think it's interesting that "expanding my support network" is the thing my therapist has honed in on the most so far. It's not like I'm necessarily content with my lack of it either, but I feel like I'm a somewhat average case for someone in their 30s

I'd say this is very similar to what my partner experiences. If it brings you any comfort, just know you're not alone

Hope it's been a lovely day for you too 💜 Blush and I went out for a nice breakfast as my vacation week is drawing to a close. Now the rest of the day is relaxing and organizing the mess we made when we moved stuff around our room earlier this week

The coolest part to me is that I only learned to ride a bike last August. Not even a year ago could I have imagined myself having the confidence to go anywhere nearly this far.

My butt was not a fan tho.. I definitely need padded shorts or a better seat if I do something like this more often 😵‍💫 But besides that, it was a great time just slowly cruising along the beach for a while

Feels so cool I biked 7 miles from home today. I think the furthest I've been before was like 2

Touched sand today

I believeeeee

I wish I could have had it a decade ago when I was truly at one of the worse parts of my journey, but I always felt I owed it to work through those difficult times when I could afford to. And even though my life is much more happy and stable now, it's not as if I don't have things I need help with

Wanted to mention I started therapy last week ;v; It's something I wanted to seek out for over half my life, and I'm super thankful to now have insurance that covers it
