Im not tagging people on this, you can find it at your own will
(I feel like if I tagged, at that point it's just for the attention. The people who actually gaf will find this on their own terms)
I think goodbye posts are stupid, and I'm never intending to make one. However, for those of you who care, I will likely not be posting much of anything for a few months.
I will still be active on the site on occasion
Why?: school year is starting, and between work, school, and my mental health, I dont get much time to myself, and SP is something I only do when I get bursts of energy, something that hasn't happened since XR-XVIII
I'll post a chatroom or smth for those of you who wish to contact me
This is not goodbye!!!
I'll still be here
(Please, don't hit me with any "what's wrong"s, I dont like talking about my mental health with strangers or people I'm not close with, and that's not something I intend to change. I also need to take some time and figure out what bonds/friendships I need to get rid of)
I'd also like to note, posting here doesn't feel rewarding in the slightest. I dont care for upvotes or points, it just sucks seeing that it's taken 2 years to hit gold when players who make worse are at plat. It hits a point of "why do I even do this anymore? I dont enjoy it". I might take some "commissions" but prob only for certain people I actually enjoy
For example, Pr.AC01, by far my best build, and I spent a long time on it. 15 upvotes
Tenna, one of my other best builds, but intended as a sh-tpost more than anything and didnt take long (poses took the most time), 21 upvotes
And then you look at some simple/block builds, especially from well known users, and it makes you wonder, why even try anymore?
Unless you get lucky when you start, its very unlikely you'll get anywhere anytime soon.
It's also getting depressing seeing people leave, especially people I care a lot about (like Kei), and it hurts watching people you've loved devolve into a mental state near yours when you've tried to help them as much as you can
And over time, I've lost many people, and I dont want people to cry over me leaving when I inevitably do, so as a wise man once said: "if you have ghosts, you have everything"
Aight
I totally get it. I was very discouraged for a long time because joke posts would get more attention than my actually time spent ones. I've since worked through that, and now do whatever I want because hehe hoho funny. But seriously I stopped caring long ago. Anyways I was wondering where you went.
@SILVERPANZER the difference in quality wont be too bad considering what ive seen in those devblogs and the fact that you build tanks
@SILVERPANZER tbf tho, your tanks are really good nevertheless, but yeah, the rates at which some people hit plat compared to others is wild
@SchmooveBrain (reply to pinned), even though I got platinum in 2 years (which is fast for me), I still consider myself a pretty bad builder (there are tank builders who are much better than me, but they are less popular, which I don't really like, since they deserve more than me), I also saw many users who got platinum in 1-3 months (just spamming the site, forums and comments).
@SILVERPANZER Ive had "issues" with people in the past, and tbh I have to be really comfy with someone to talk about stuff
I might too ngl, but I also have a PC now so maybe not? Idk, SP2 is gonna be great but sad, yk?
@SchmooveBrain Same thing, I also don't like to trust anyone (especially on the internet, based on the mistakes of others), considering how many trolls there are on the internet, as well as haters who can try to harm.
I will most likely leave after the release of SP2, since the mobile version will be released in at least a year (as the developers report), since I will lose relevance and will fall very far behind in quality (due to the difference in versions).
@SILVERPANZER thats fair tbh, personally it's hard to trust people, and I only plan on making a post when I leave "for those who care" (aka, the people that check my profile and see it or see it in the forums tab)
I also don't like farewell posts, especially when the user comes back after a couple of days, if I leave completely, then most likely I won't even report it, and I also don't like talking about my life and problems, since there is no point in it + it can become a threat to me.
@Graingy ok then, im not gonna argue
I know i went on a tangent about it too, but people are missing the point of this:
I'm not ending posts outright, I don't care about the popularity, I'm taking a break from making/posting stuff due to time and mental health related reasons, and that SP is not really something I enjoy doing, and posting isn't rewarding enough to warrant doing something I dislike
I disagree.
@Graingy I get the extra dark ones (like Pr.AC01) but most of the others do have a decent level of detail
@SchmooveBrain ehhh I disagree. Can’t make out much detail.
@Graingy most of my newer thumbnails (except XR-XVIII and Otani) are decently clear yk
You’d probably have gotten more attention if it were possible to make out anything in your thumbnails. All so dark.
Gluck
@SchmooveBrain
(This comment was translated using Google Translate, so I apologize if it sounds strange.) The point of posting on this site is for everyone to enjoy my builds. I completely understand how you feel, because worrying about upvotes and points used to drive me crazy. Honestly, every time I see players who reach Platinum by mass-producing what seem to me to be "crappy" builds that anyone could make, I wonder if what I'm doing is even worth it. Even if I get a maximum of 70 upvotes (the highest I got on my previous account, and my average was around 40) for a single 2,000-part build that took months to create, these guys achieve that in as little as a month. That's because they post once every 2-3 days. Their builds always get at least 5 upvotes. I think it's really ridiculous. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that points don't represent your value. You're worth many times more than the Platinum players I mentioned earlier. I guarantee it.
@Bugati87 nah, you're all good (omg i forgor exeron lmao)
@SchmooveBrain i'd better leave you In peace. IRL Things, are more important than building something about... Exeron :D (And than Beutrovka things also
@Bugati87 nah lol, im actually kinda excited for school this year
I'm 3rd chair this year in my trumpet section and with that, I get 1st part and some of the "solos" for marching band, which goes so much harder now that I can comfortably play C's out of the staff, so I'm incredibly excited for that, and I have jazz band and I'm taking college classes, so YIPPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
only thing is that im loding more time than usual cause of this, but whatevs
@SchmooveBrain I like that you aren't like those... Like those MOABFUKUSHIMA Who say something like ThE ScHOol Is cOming... ByE.
@rexzion I did this one and specifically didnt tag people so that the people who actually care about these kinds of posts/me would see it. I think goodbye posts with full taglists just for the poster to return 3 days later is stupid
I also interact with a lot of people in chatrooms so its moreso for those peoples
@Bugati87 school doesnt stop me, it just takes away time, add in an actual job and badda boom no time :(
@rexzion Yeah... Actually, you can still doing big things In SP, because it's simple... ¿Or I'm wrong?
Also, the school doesn't stop you from playing SP, because it's a different thing... Weak minds who think that the school blocks you.
i dont really understand posts like this, you just get busier over time, simpleplanes is not your job, but for whatever reason this is the only game where people could have some serious life-altering event and think "i have to make a post telling my followers that my f-37b will be delayed due to my car accident, leaving me paralyzed from the neck down", this is an exaggeration (mostly) but its weird how i see people announce that they will be less active as if sp is their job
