I’ve been thinking about it a bit recently and the joy has kinda gone out of gamerposting for me. It’s tired and unfunny, and I feel like I’ve exhausted too many of the spammable angles to warrant it being a gimmick anymore. You may have already noticed a shift in posting style over the past week or two, but I’m just posting this to formalise it.
I’ll probably still gamerpost every now and then, but I think it’s time for me to go back to sincereposting. I have one high-effort gamerpost lined up in my head for the time being (just need time/drive to sit down and draft it), and it’s a goodie too! However, don’t expect the volume of incoherent gamerposts that you used to get.
My interests lie more in watching anime, practicing Japanese on Twitter, listening to music, and playing multiplayer versus games than they do in posting endless one-liners outside of Twitter nowadays, and I feel like I’m busier now than I’ve ever been despite being out of work and not currently job-hunting. I’d much rather unwind with those things than by writing masses of posts here, as much as I still enjoy posting.
I’d also appreciate if people refrained calling me gamer boy from now on, not that I’ve had to deal with it much since Firebot got shut down. I never liked other people using it after I changed my name in 2016 (even though I tolerated it and often played off of it/used it in my (now-extinct) walrus’ name), and it’s really not as funny as people say it is—it’s just a dumb name I came up with when I was 14 that I’ve grown to hate over time. I mostly stuck to it just because it reinforced my gimmick, but it’s outlived its usefulness.
Thank you for understanding, and I wish you a pleasant rest-of-week.
