FINITE V2

As some of you may have noticed, my main and original account is now gone. This was intentional. Effective now, this will be my main and only account. The reason I’ve gone about doing this splits into three parts, with a TLDR at the end for the gacha players. Mainly, it’s worth mentioning that this isn’t due to something serious or drama or whatever; this is all of my own choosing and doing. Firstly, I don’t particularly like that my Twitter account served as a window into how I’ve grown over the years. This may sound somewhat moronic, but if one was to look closely enough, they would be able to see how I’ve changed over the past 3/4 years. How I conduct myself, how I think, and things I used to stand by that I no longer do. In a way, there is some significance in that; seeing how you have changed over time is important for reflection, but for everyone to see? I am less convinced. It also doesn't really help that the years when I was really focused on Twitter were my late formative ones crossing into adulthood. Secondly, my main account had a permanent NSFW modifier on it. Now, I am not going to sit here and act all innocent... even though I did not post risqué material myself, I definitely retweeted it. Technically, that normally shouldn't get an account slapped with a permanent modifier, but again, I won't act as if I wasn't asking for it. If Twitter was a decent app, this wouldn't have been a problem. The issue is that the way they enforce this modifier is by sensitive-marking every single thing that you post, which gets very tiring very fast. Going forward, unfortunately, I will not be reposting hardcore risqué "content"; that does not mean I won't occasionally fly close to the sun, but I really don't want to get burnt again. Lastly, I want the quiet life. Back when I was younger and on this app more than someone ever should be, seeing a post go past 1000 likes was the most satisfying thing in the world to me. If a random stolen meme did well, I felt like I was on top of the world; if a post I wanted to do good didn't, I felt terrible, almost depressed. It took time for me to realize how unhealthy that whole batch of feelings was, especially tied to a platform like Twitter. I do highly suspect that some of this came from my age at the time, but nonetheless, it is not something I'm particularly proud of. I am happy to say that over time these feelings largely went away. It does specifically help that my page fell off over time. When I clicked the deactivate button on my old page yesterday, I felt nothing, and I personally think that's a good thing. So what's next? As some of you may have noticed, over time I stopped posting as much. That was due mostly to a change in "philosophy." I would personally rather make posts that have some type of quality or relevance than just do it to do it. I plan to keep thinking about things this way. Expect occasional retrospectives about whatever series I'm hyperfocused on (or Nikke, I always do love writing about that game). I will also probably post my backlog of CMS along with new ones if I ever have more made. Lastly, since Firefly appears to be back on the HSR menu, I might dip my hand back into that barrel, if only because of how much I still love Firefly/Blazerfly. As always, I will also continue to repost good art. TLDR: I wanted a clean slate and the quiet life for a while; mostly everything, barring risqué reposts, is the same. Here's to the quiet life, at least for now.
