So today's my 6th forumversary (it doesn't feel like that long, probably because I was inactive for half of that time), and I've been thinking over the past few days about how involved I want to be on here going forward. I enjoyed being a part of the community throughout my time here, being involved and being able to contribute to projects to the degree that I did, but nowadays I feel like I have so much fighting for my free time. I've been involved in multiple communities (I'm also in the Thomas & Friends community), but I've never been able to find that balance of how much time to spend where. It feels like a lot, juggling school alongside all of my hobbies / interests / things I'd like to dabble in, and I feel like it's hard to manage sometimes. Moreover, when I joined the Boards in 2020, I tried dabbling in just about everything I could. But eventually, I began feeling burnt out, which is why I stepped away and dropped pretty much everything. I'd like to be involved to some consistent capacity again, but frankly I don't want to commit to something long-term, only to drop it again; I want to try to break out of that habit. I've had ideas for things I'd like to do, but I just don't know how much time or motivation I'd have, it seems to fluctuate based on my mood. I'm thinking maybe the solution is to stick to just a couple of things, and focus on doing those on a reliable basis, vs. getting involved in too many things like I did in 2020. I would like to write a 'Shroom section again at the very least.
First time visiting the Nintendo Store in San Francisco today! Didn't get any merch. Gonna try to get some tomorrow. They had a slick Zelda jacket but it was like $80.
I am sooo stuck on the boo minigame in Super Princess Peach Shriek Mansion 3-6. There are way too many boos for me to tap them all away before they make it to the top screen and hit Peach (especially the Big Boos which take many taps to defeat), and it moves too fast for me to track which boos will and won't hit Peach.
Starting to do some drawings daily so I can eventually make some character reference sheets when I work on my game at some point - so here's Day 1, all by memory edition
To be honest, It would be really cool if they swapped out likes with yeah!s. This is mostly cause it's a little nod to the Wii U, but I bet they wont do it
Oh yeah, I forgot I made this animation test for horizontal rotation while I was green starring, I have never done rotation sprites before and tested what I thought may work.
Some Green Stars were meh, the Star Bit grind I loathed never existed (I was there by Green World 6), and my biggest issue with the Perfect Run was Yoshi wanting to eat mines more than the actual objectives in the first section, I breezed through the rest. Only died in all 450 times so :D
