Last month was uneventful for me, so I don’t have a comment this time.
The next episode of our monthly chat + feedback thread.
No matter what topic, if you want to talk about it then just write it in a comment :)
Last month was uneventful for me, so I don’t have a comment this time.
Since last month, a lot has happen but yet not a lot has happen at the same time. My weeks were pretty much full and I had a lot to do. Lately my brain has been playing tricks on me and I don’t think it’s due to lack of sleep as I get enough sleep.
I promised to write an essay on this one, so no matter how long it will take me to write it, I’m gonna write it. But I also want people to engage in conversations, so I’ll probably drop some questions ;3
Christmas (not sure if that’s how I should name it)
Since it’s not halloween anymore, I started to look for things I could get for Christmas on my own. Some of those things would actually be useful, but some of them less. I’m also looking for what my friends would be happy to get. As usual, the rise of price make it hard for me to offer things they might expect to get, but I’ll try my best to find things they didn’t think about.
Gaming
I’ve been back to playing VRChat after a long break, I played with a friend who found an issue with an unwanted asset on the quest version of my avatar and instead of removing I decided to keep as it could fit a cyberpunk aesthetic in some cases. He also encouraged me to progress in the Fish world (a world where you just fish). In the mean time, I also got back to playing Geometry Dash. For the past two weeks I’ve played to player-made levels and now I find the default level very easy compare to what players make, and yet I was only playing hard levels.
I’m happy that I’ve been able to play with a friend, cause even on Minecraft servers, I always play alone while people have teams.
Friends
With a friend, we’re gonna try to attend a convention this month. Not a furry, cause they’re too expensive at the moment, but a general cultural (more anime-focus) convention. Usually there’s some furries that go to those conventions, and it’s the case. A furry association is gonna be attending the convention, and I also have three online friends that are gonna be attending it, one of them just got his fursuit recently. I do hope to break my record in terms of taking photos xD
In another note, my German also improved but I fear that I’m losing a bit of the German I’ve learned since I’m barely practicing. I should go back to Telegram as I have a lot of furries from Germany on it, but they’re not really active and I don’t want to bother them with that until they become available.
Drawing
I have drawn a drawing a few days ago, but I can’t find inspiration to make another one. I have planned to offer a drawing to a content creator that I like, but I didn’t find the inspiration and yet their fursona is really hard for me to draw in a kemono style. I looked for reference and it’s a barely used fursona, so even regular art is hard to find, so let alone finding it in one style.
Venting
On a sader note, I’ve been feeling mixed lately. I fear that I’m gonna have anger issues, I can’t also communicate with my colleagues as none of them wanna talk to me. I understand them, I’d probably do the same thing, they all have their friend group and I’m friend with none of my colleague. The only time where they talk to me is when we have to do group work, and it’s mostly when they have no choice but to be with me. I find that annoying as they all see me be alone but yet being next to them and try to talk with them, when we presents ourselves most of them said they’d gladly talk to people that are alone, most of them said they were extrovert, and I’m not seeing any of that being applied. Maybe am I expecting too much from them ? I don’t really know how to go to people irl. Well, I did it previously, but it’s because they were wearing a giant anthropomorphic animal costume, so it’s not the same thing.
And as I promised, some questions I might have for you :
With all of that said, I hope you to get good for the days that comes and will gladly take the time to read what you all have to share here.
What kind of tricks if I may ask? If you feel generally not-rested despite of sleeping enough, you might want to check if you are snoring and developing apnea.
I will have to start looking too, but have absolutely 0 idea what gifts I should get and asking almost always results in “I don’t really need anything”. Because of my creativity is very close to 0 I am not a fan of gifting in general, but this is a me-problem…
Nice! I don’t know many people who also get Christmas gifts for non-family.
Wish you both the most of fun and smooth traffic :)
Will you post them on the Fediverse? ⚆⚆
Based on German communities here, the following is obligatory:
SPRICH
I saw and enjoyed your artworks :3 And don’t stress yourself about inspiration, I’m sure you will get one sooner or later.
That is a very kind idea. Hope you can find fitting material as inspiration an that the recipient will like it.
I’m sorry to hear. The work environment sounds cold; but nobody is obligated to befriend their colleagues. I’m sad that I can’t give any useful advice here (as I don’t know how to go to people too) :/
Then at least you can say your people skills are more advanced than mine, if this is any consolation ':D
Nope. Up to now I always was lucky enough to just not get in overly stressful long-term situations and for the rest I go through with it by calculating the right priorities.
I was going through the last uploads of YouTube music promotion channels I get most of my music from. Then this has been interrupted by this (origin of it)
After finishing that playlist I will return to the (Rock / Metal) Nightcore channel and after that some of the uploads of Defqon.1 (which I’m looking forward to).
Related to this: RANT. The Nightcore channel started to include AI music which always sours my mood when they come up between the real music. me mad.
PS: whenever I reply to such comments, I’m afraid that I talk too much about myself instead of responding (for the lack of a better word) to the author.
The kind of tricks that my brain started playing on me is making disappear events and entire days from my memory, which is very annoying. From medical records I yet don’t have apnea, now you make me wonder if I do apnea (and I don’t know how to know if I have apnea) and I really hope I don’t. But I don’t have snoring, that’s for sure (don’t worry, I would have been made aware of it if I did) and if I do, I just need to change my cushion.
You can give small things, even the most minor thing means a lot. I only give gift to the people I very care about, so it’s not everyone, even some of my family members don’t get any gift.
I personnaly know that I’ll be gifting to all my soul’s brothers and some close friends.
Thank you, the trafic should be smooth this day, and we do plan on having fun.
Maybe, maybe not, I’ll see that. Ind prefer to have a camera instead of using my phone to take photos, but maybe I’ll post some of them. I’ll probably post some on Furtrack too as it might be useful for both me, the people that want to see the photos and the fursuiters.
Ich spreche allerdings nur ein bisschen Deutsch.
I do hope the same thing, but in the mean time, if I don’t draw for a long period of time, I might lose part of my talent, and that’s very annoying.
I’ll try to, so far it has been unsuccessful :'3
Is okay, at this point I’m getting used to be alone. On the bright side, this had allow me to watch all the videos I had in the watch later playlist on YouTube.
😹😹😹
If you say so then. I have a furry friend (that I met at the furry boots at the last convention I did) who’s scared of appraoching fursuits. To him, they’re scary irl, the fact that gently
forcedaccompagnied him to take photos with fursuiters in costume did help.I don’t know if I go into stressful situation or not, that’s very weird.
Isn’t Defqon a convention / music festival ? Other than thar, it’s nice to have a community playlist, I like this idea. This could be something we could do here, I do know a few furry artist on YouTube Music (from lofi to dustep lol).
I stopped listening to nightcore due to lack of effort to make something else than just accelerating the song on Audacity and export it in low quality :/
Ah, I hate AI music, sounds so bad. I started to get a lot of them after listening to a remix from Fame On Fire (which is not AI by the way, I really recommend this group).
RE PS : don’t worry, I don’t think you talked too much about yourself and you did respond to my comment. Sometime I also don’t think I have the words but I still try my best to do everything that I can to answer.
