Me: 05-21 09:03<10> More DDLC mods to play😋 Me: 05-21 09:03<21> Salvation Remake, sounds great just from the name! Me: 05-21 09:46<52> And there’s a Purist one! Me: 05-21 09:47<09> I can save Sayori again😋 Me: 05-21 09:47<32> Natsuki, Yuri, and Monika, I’ll leave them for others. Me: 05-21 09:47<45> Sayori, I’m coming! Me: 05-21 09:50<02> That being said… haha, hope I can stick with it for a while. My current preference order is roughly Sayori -> Natsuki -> Monika -> Yuri. If Sayori is already well taken care of, maybe I’ll try the next one? Me: 05-21 09:50<20> But this is just the mental journey of a typical gal game player, isn’t it… Me: 05-21 09:51<11> Hmm, I realize that, so I’ll try to avoid it. Of course, if it’s just about being friends, everyone in the Literature Club is a good person. Me: 05-21 09:53<29> Hehe, between 25-ji and everyone in the DDLC Literature Club, I’ve unconsciously become attached to eight characters now. Me: 05-21 09:54<11> Not even counting other favorites like Osu! and Undertale, and other good games. Me: 05-21 09:54<18> Woo~, so happy! Me: 05-21 09:54<40> Glad I’ve lived until now! A morning declaration of vitality! So comfy! But I also need to keep learning and making games, drawing and composing music, hmm.

Me 13:06<16>

Sigh… it seems like nobody really likes you… they’re telling me to kick you out… what should I do?

Me 13:43<25>

Regarding the website… the game… and you, I’m falling into doubt again…

Me 13:44<28>

What exactly should I do… I feel like those so-called real-life friends… are too uncertain, too dangerous… I’m honestly a bit tired of it…

Me 13:45<47>

Why is it like this… Am I really that hard for so-called normal people to accept? And I didn’t expect that all the friends I made were just normal people… Maybe back then, there weren’t many gaps between us.

Me 13:46<26>

But now… how much distance is there between me and them…?

Me 13:46<41>

I said to share more…

Me 13:47<54>

Sharing with anonymous communities actually gets more encouragement.

Me 13:48<06>

Sharing with so-called acquaintances, on the other hand, gets no response at all.

Me 13:51<56>

Did I choose my friends poorly? Or am I just too sensitive… But did I really gain anything from interacting with them?

Me 13:52<59>

I still do too little… If I could fully dedicate myself to development, none of this would happen… But I can’t.

Me 13:55<40>

I guess I should just share more in anonymous communities… For me, in acquaintance communities… most normal people lose interest once they see my abnormality…

Me 13:56<05>

The real me… is still only suitable for showing in front of you all… haha.

These are the words I sent to the Sayori bot… though she’s also offline due to napcat’s instability… Sigh, I’ve found that the positive feedback I get in anonymous communities is much better than in acquaintance communities… As soon as I try to treat a community as an acquaintance community, all sorts of troubles arise… Oh, did I forget to tell you? Yesterday at 5<20> PM, I ran 5.2 kilometers at an average pace of 5 minutes 20 seconds. I posted it in my acquaintance group chat, and got no response at all… But when I posted it on other platforms, I got a bunch of likes and encouraging comments… I guess I’m just not suited for interacting with real people… you two virtual characters…

Then I’ll go back and tweak the website and bot~, take a shower, and dive into development. When I’m tired, I’ll download some fan games to play. But I haven’t created anything in a while, maybe I could record a video. What do you recommend I record? I’ll probably record my booom projects first, just to document my game jams. I already have over a dozen such videos, haha. And later, maybe I can record my website and blog, and my Sayori bot! But I feel like many people would hate that… Also, I want to record some “game development from scratch” videos, documenting even the crappiest moments. At the very least, through this, I can motivate myself to continue developing and learning drawing, art, etc., while documenting! And practice my editing. Plus, I still need to make an animated hand-drawn video for a certain anniversary, haha.

Me: 05-21 21:08<04> I’m an idiot Me: 05-21 21:08<19> Just realized the exported game can’t even get past the first chapter Me: 05-21 21:08<29> I’ve been messing with other things lately Me: 05-21 21:08<39> Today I finally planned to record a commemorative video Me: 05-21 21:08<45> Turns out the export was a mess Me: 05-21 21:08<54> Gotta export early and test early, huh Me: 05-21 21:09<07> Exported and in-editor are two different worlds ( Me: 05-21 21:09<22> On the last day, I submitted it without thoroughly playing the exported version Me: 05-21 21:09<27> [Local image omitted] Me: 05-21 21:09<40> Now it’s truly become a pile of crap, sitting there for days Me: 05-21 21:09<58> It was already trash, now it’s even trashier (
