This is the answer I was looking for, thank you.

I always see folks say that cats being outside is bad, that they’re a non-native invasive species.

So, I got to wondering….exactly where are cats native and non-invasive, but aren’t inside a house?” houses and dwellings for cats didn’t always exist. I don’t need to be explained to as to why cats should be inside, what I don’t understand is the missing logic about them not being outside.

I think it’s great that you’ve fostered a discussion where no one’s really angry, but there’s definitely confusion. I have a rough idea as to what you’re referring to, but without concrete examples of games, this seems more like a well-intended but uninformed rant that needed more time in the oven.

Tweets aren’t showing up in Google results as often because of changes at Twitter in c/technology@beehaw.org

“Could”, more like “already is”. It’s a darn shame, and honestly I kind of wish the Fediverse had taken off long ago so we wouldn’t be stuck with these repositories of information being walled off by centralized tech companies

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how to spend your gaming time? (beehaw.org)
 

I have a sizable collection of games across retro and current platforms, as well as a Steam Library and a huge itch.io bundle of software. I have opportunities abound for games that I could play. But some days, I get stuck trying to figure out

  • Which game to play
  • How long do I have to play it
  • What about other stuff I need to do
  • How can I turn this into something meaningful

And it only gets compounded when I try to factor in streaming or writing for a website that I'm a part of. I dunno how many other Twitch/YouTube/TikTok streamers are here but once you reach Affiliate or have a consistent audience it sure seems easy to feel like your gaming time should only happen when you're streaming. And as a hobbyist writer I feel like I then have to tie in writing about my gaming experiences.

I don't have anything closely resembling success with these ventures but it feels like if I stop, then I'll never have that success, like, it feels obtainable when I'm turning my hobby into digestible content for others.

I've been trying to break out of this self-defeating cycle by starting a new island in Animal Crossing. Just making small progress, an hour a day, by myself. No distractions, no mental hangups, no "side hustles".

Just wondering if I'm alone in this or if anyone else has similar experiences, whether or not you stream or whatever :)
