More than happy with Melanie cos it's a million times nicer than my real name, haha. But man, I still really wanna shake my head in denial at all the kind things you've said because I still haven't learned how to fully disable my compliment deflector x3 I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I just can't comprehend that I could possibly be worthy of such praise and kindness >.< but I'm trying to get better at accepting it at least, and no matter how much the evil part of my brain wants to deny it, I always appreciate kind words and sweet gestures. It means the world to me that you or anyone else would even consider supporting me ^-^
And thank you so much again for such a generous gift :3 Not gonna lie, I almost cried when Spaghetti explained that it was a gift and everything was covered cos my brain just went into complete shock xD Even if excuses aren't allowed, I still have to thank both of you somehow!!
I don't know if you could really count me as particularly popular though because the biggest part of the problem with me keeping on top of messages and such is my own inability to condense what I type xD + the fact that my everyday responsibilities have increased, so I have less time each day to spend at my PC in general.
It's not so much that I'm completely buried by a vast number of messages as that I've ended up with quite a few contacts who have become friends over time, whether that be through working with them on projects or people who have gotten in touch just to say a few words about a project.
You know what I'm like with my rambling x3 So trying to make sure I don't lose contact with anyone that I'm exchanging essays with at the same time as attempting not to neglect new messages has become difficult. I recently read something that said you should be careful to ensure that responding to messages doesn't interrupt or reduce your workflow >.< and it's gotten to the point where my workflow has completely stopped, haha. So when I can't even keep up with messages despite stopping working on stuff, I end up feeling like I'm kinda failing at everything.
I know it's my own fault for ultimately wanting to be friends with everyone while not having the social battery or time to handle it >.<
I mean, I don't have that many followers by typical social media standards. And I will never understand how I have as many as I do, but I really appreciate every single one :3 When I was making my first game, I just kinda figured maybe like 10 people would play it or something, if anyone at all xD
Anyways, the Q&A thing is a really good idea! I'll have to try and sort something like that out. I suppose I should probably stop and drop you a message on Discord cos I wanna respond to the rest of what you've said here :3 + I believe I still owe you a reply there anyway! With any luck, me posting this segment here will reduce the amount of spam I end up sending you on Discord, haha. I always feel so bad that my rambles wind up as like 10+ Discord dms because I feel like it must be quite irritating for people >.<
Thank you again for everything <3
PS. There is no way on earth that I exceed you x3 To me, you are someone I aspire to be like who seems like they really have their shit together, unlike me kinda just stumbling all over the place banging my limbs on everything and wondering where I'm gonna end up xD You've got so much knowledge and the generosity to share it :3 You are like a super guru and just all-around amazing!!
