Definitely take your time, there's no rush, and it's well worth the wait. Conversely, forcing yourself into something as major as a relationship could take a huge toll on you. As they say, live life, breathe air, I know somehow we're gonna get there, and feel so wonderful. #tb{:]}

Don't understand really, I'm undesirable, boring, gross, kind of middling in terms of looks (idol and iirc Magi called me cute once and I'm like ????)... And I have a really bad acne outbreak going right now and the bodytype of Bobby Hill. I never shut up about RPGs either. I'm also constantly sick.

Try not to be so hard on yourself! I don't want to get too deep into psychoanalysis territory and all, but actively holding yourself back from such negative talk about yourself contributes to boosting your self-esteem. Even if you "don't understand", there's gotta be something there for others to appreciate, right?

I should be moving out of the crack house I'm stuck in either today or tomorrow.

Best of luck with that! I hope the transition goes smoothly.

I'm also echoing bebn legg and wishing you the best of luck with moving out! I'm looking forward to getting out of my parents' home and rent my own for reasons, but that subject is for another occasion and I don't want to derail this thread with my blabber.

lion, shoot me a message if you need anything. I'm always there for you.

Thank you.

I've been more stable today, I've also spent most of my day playing Suikoden and watching TV with my mom so. I was close to spiraling when I talked to my friend about my self-loathing and self-deprecating tendencies but I caught myself in time, probably feelings of guilt when I shouldn't have any.

What triggered me yesterday was seeing people's art and feeling like I'd never reach their level of skill. I just feel like art and programming have become chores to me. I worry about the final product and have producing as an objective instead of focusing on the joy of creating. I don't know how to gain it back. I know most people just treat impostor syndrome and depression as side effects of being an artist but I'd like to do better than that.

That's kind of why I haven't finished the scale lifts or done any ASM projects. I'd ask for help from Von Fahrenheit but I feel that my code is too obtuse and messy. Not good enough, y'know. I won't apologize though. It's not my fault, I'm not doing this for anyone.

Firstly, don't compare yourself to others up to the point it detrimentally gets to your well-being. I'm not sure if this really helps because of depression being a factor of this problem, but if you're seriously feeling like creating content is a chore, then I think it's good at least ask yourself why you're doing it.
Greetings; I'm Pixus, a bit of an aspiring "artist" of sort and, as my title says, a general hack of all trades, but master of none. I'd say I mostly specialize in texturing and models, although I haven't really done very much of either that's not tiny or blocky, respectively.

I was debating on making a hack myself, but I'm probably not up for the challenge quite yet; that, and I already have a lot of other projects to work on myself. I might consider sharing my progress on art and the like as well as possibly some sneak peaks of that hack, but I still need to do a lot of work on it.

I thought I'd join here since I was interested in broadening my horizons to others, and since part of the community specializes in graphic making, I thought it would be a good place for me. (Heck, Gamma-V was actually one of my major inspirations for starting to make graphics!)

Anyways, I'm not sure how often I'll pop up, but I'll see you all around.
Welcome to SMW Central, PixusPanic! Please enjoy your stay here #tb{:)}

Thanks for the welcoming, and I hope I do enjoy it myself. I might even test out a few hacks here and there but I'll have to think about that, mostly since I don't have a USB controller yet.
Welcome! As a heads-up, one of the stickies in this forum is conveniently to introduce yourself. Needless to say, I hope you enjoy it here and I'm curious to see your current projects.

Darn it; I knew I was likely misplacing that. I guess I should have looked more clearly. Thanks for telling me, though, and I appreciate your interest. It's mostly art related (even if I'm not really someone who actually likes drawing, ironically enough) so I'll probably put it in the Creative Corner.

I am still interested in hacking SMW itself, and I'm definitely far from being new to the program itself, but level design isn't something I really specialize in, so I'm not sure how that'd go. Is there a general workflow for it, or should I ask that in its dedicated forum?

It basically depends on what you want to specialize in, as while our main focus is level design, you can broaden your horizons with custom music and even custom graphics. You should do what you like to do after all. We host tons of things that should aid you with anything.

The SMW Hacking Help forum also has subforums for the fields I mentioned earlier, so if you are compelled to show off projects that pertain to those, then go for it.

I'm not too sure what exactly you mean for "broaden your horizons"; like do you mean the site's horizons instead, or my horizons for the hack?

And yeah; I did see what you mean with the SMW Hacking Help forum. Personally I'm hoping that I can get to sprite some player character graphics, but pixel art isn't a speciality of mine, I don't think. It reminds me that while I would be interested in porting some songs to SMW, I don't think I have the patience for learning how to port music.

I meant your own horizons, yeah.

Ah; thanks for specifying. Do you want to continue this here or in PMs?
Sure, you can continue this in a PM with me if you have further questions.

I've been taking time off Discord and it's been a lot better for both my mental health and school life. I have created a coping mechanism so I don't lose contact with my friends, but don't stay on Discord 24/7.

Just wanted to put this here. Hopefully I can stop being lazy and work on my hack, smh. Actually my school life is pretty relaxed rn and I have time to do things, so expect to see me here a bit more than before.
Hello.
I've long since stopped working on my hack. Though with increasing boredom these days, I might take it off my backburner. But man, there's so much work to do with it, I might as well start a new project.

A new project that probably won't be finished either, because inspiration just comes and goes for me.

STELLA!

looks at past self on scartch not finishing any projects

You're not alone, trust me.

Actually not having to start a project from scratch is probably the reason I love modding/hacking so much, because I have a base to work off of. Not to mention how cool it is to see all the different things people can do with modding. You can take a game and mod it to the point where it isn't even recognisable any more.
Hello.
My mom just contracted the corona virus. Luckily, I don't live at home anymore, but I am quite worried. My mom, dad and 3 sisters still live together so it's very likely they'll all get corona. I might have even been infected on my last visit.
So yeah, fuck my life, because it needs some dicking.

Man, I wish I knew how to help. I can't even say "hope she makes a full recovery" because of how mocking that seems. I just... Man. Do you need anything? A hug maybe?

I do hope she makes it out okay.

So sorry to hear about your mom Torch. I hope you and the rest of your family make it through this alive and well.
